Australian Women v West Indies Women (3 T20s and 3 ODIs) Oct 2023

[LukeParkerno1]

I don't think the field placements have been too bad tonight, but the fielding has been poor.

The bowling has been worse than all combined but the captain has to show a backbone there ask the bowlers where they wish to bowl and set a field accordingly does seem Healy is setting the field she wants not the bowler

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Handy run out there

FOW: 97 98 99 103 104

Where a bowler wants to bowl and where they actually bowl can be two very different things. I'm pretty sure Sutherland didn't suggest knee high full tosses as her delivery of choice, and I don't care how great a captain you are, you can't place a field for poor execution.

Or maybe the bowlers can learn to bowl 6 balls to their field and not just 2 or 3 balls each over

Calypso collapso.

Cummins does it all the time

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Brown in the middle overs is so much better than other parts of the innings

 

[DEVO]

Great Captaincy bringing on Brown. Of course it won't be acknowledged by some.

Telling Darcy to take three was the real genius

You can cop a poor ball that happens not over and over she should never have been bowling in the first place that’s on the captain

As I said this is her role not up front and sure as anything not at the death. You can protect a poor ball easier in the middle. Use her in this role

 

[Moonwatcher]

No ball wicket missed?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Buttler gone in the other game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Buttler gone in the other game

Good

It was the captains decision to bring her on, she should take some of the credit.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

H Mathew’s a superstar the rest of the batters are absolute garbage

 

[DEVO]

She's an allrounder, she needs to bowl, especially with Perry unable too. And she bowled well in game 1 and okay in game 2. It would be poor captaincy if she didn't give her an over.

 

[Moonwatcher]

RRR 18 with 4 wickets left

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wasnt' that the smallest of murmurs

 

[JuniorWatch]

And I've just seen the worst decision by an umpire since Steve Bucknor retired.
Plumbest thing I've ever seen

 

[DEVO]

Wasnt' that the smallest of murmurs

It grazed the top of the pad before it hit her leg. The bat was closer to North Sydney oval than the ball.

 

[DEVO]

Ash’s new nickname should be sorbent as she is good at cleaning up the tail.

 

[Cleavy]

Losing 10-46 after your best player gets out is a big decline.
