Yes I did enjoy Friday's womens game it was better than the mens match. Just a note that the womens Twenty20 game is on Channel 9 next Sunday at 1pm (1 hour highlights) before CB Series game in Melbourne.

I was reading in the paper that the English girls would have preferred more "Test matches" as there is only the one.

Nice 50 partnership there girls, let's kick on and get a good score.

couldn't believe this score when i saw it.

England have obviously come to play.

Ellyse Perry still on fire, top scoring with 40 and taking 1/51. Not bad for a 17 year old.

But the English girls were just too good. Jenny Gunn played well too. She's my favourite - now that she's improved her bowling action. She goes alright. Very nice girl too.

Let's hope Australia can bounce back tomorrow. C'mon GIRLS!
