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

[troybe]

Looking shaky early but had the bats to give us a great total to defend. Great hitting and working the angles perfectly by TMac and Grace

Healy getting picked in the test squad is a joke. If that was a young player they would've been told you're not playing rest up your foot.

No big surprises in the test team named . Named Healy but it seems Mooney will keep , will they go in with Brown or stay with 2 leggies ?

A couple of years ago I watched a T20 International between Australia and India in India where after an early collapse (I think we were 4/60), Harris and Gardner put on a 130+ partnership in around 11/12 overs. When in full flight Harris is a great player to watch but because of our batting depth she generally bats around 6, 7 or 8 and at times it feels like it's too late for her to do any real damage. Thankfully tonight she was able to come in in the 14th over and get Australia's total up past 180 when somewhere between 160 and 170 was looking the more likely outcome.

Just like that, the required rate goes from 9.3 to 9.58 after the 1st over.

Healy is the captain - she was always getting named in the text squad and will be given every opportunity to play

But that doesn't mean she'll be in the final 11

Harris just looks intense lol

I feel like barring weather, the test match could be done inside 3 days.

Grace Harris is entertaining on the mic. An ad break interrupted her story about floating around the order.

 

[010203]

King!!!

 

[CURVE]

Harris could talk under water

Harris could talk under water

And still be entertaining.

Down to 9.35

Good start for England

 

[Moonwatcher]

Think we needed every bit of that 185

 

[NYRB]

Litchfield is smiling, I reckon she thinks this is out.

 

[010203]

That would have been an unlucky way to get out if Wyatt-Hodge was short of her ground.

 

[010203]

5 overs means we have a match.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Boooo

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol

 

[NYRB]

Duckworth Lewis Stern may come into play tonight.

 

[010203]

Eloise Sheridan is right to tell the batters it's up to the umpires if they go off or not.

 

[danielnajdek]

Hahah England batters walking off when the umps were still standing out in the middle.

 

[NYRB]

England ahead on DLS!
