Women's Ashes, the T20s. January 20-25

Most of the wickets have seemed like lazy batting/running.

I've only watched bits of Voll in the WBBL - what is she normally like between wickets?

We know the likes of Mooney & Litchfield are energiser bunnies when at the crease - is Voll similar or a bit slower and that's an area she can improve?

Cameraman had no idea on that Sutherland boundary - moved for vision of a lofted cover drive, rather than the straight drive

Haven't seen much of her either.

 

[Moonwatcher]

McGrath on her way

 

[Moonwatcher]

Then goes a bit too fancy

 

[cats_09]

WTF McGrath

You've been playing so well with traditional shots, that was crap

 

[Jimthegreat]

I want to !@#@&$ the English leg spinner.

Easy to criticise T20 aggression when it doesn't come off but would have hoped for more from Sutherland's second life.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So Kemp drops Sutherland then picks her up relatively cheaply.

Grace Harris is in. If England play their tactics right, they should have the spinners on now.

Voll is a ball basher. Likes the power hits. She is a 'slimmer' version of Lizelle Lee.

Not the quickest between the wickets.

You'd hope so.

Seems to be such a desire to go aerial more often than not

Wondering if she just needs to tweak a little something & be more prepared to focus on ground shots at the moment, because she had the chance to go deep in this innings & could have scored 40/50 to put us in a strong position, but just seemed such a focus on trying to hit herself out of this funk

 

[Moonwatcher]

Should be a tight game

 

[Moonwatcher]

Going down leg you'd think

 

[troybe]

Going down leg

 

[Moonwatcher]

oohh maybe not

 

[Moonwatcher]

I'm a terrible judge of lbw

 

[jhong]

lol

Not sure how many others read the following article at the time of its publication, but it's with Beth Mooney from just before the 2020 T20 WC and in it she talks about her fitness & the honest conversations with her

She admits the impact fatigue was having on her batting in both T20s and especially n one-day innings, and what she did to work on her fitness and get to the level we now see

Wonder if a sunset similar conversation could be had with Voll, and maybe some of the English players

Needed to take the bails off with the tips of her gloves

 

[cats_09]

Good stretch from McGrath

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol wat McGrath

 

[cats_09]

Can Grace have a chat with her captain about getting back to some more traditional shots as that's what got her off to such a strong start

Since McGrath has tried to get funky she's lost all timing

I want to !@#@&$ the English leg spinner.

Glenn or Ecclestone?
