Women's Ashes 3rd ODI England v Australia July 18 2130hrs @ Taunton

[Moonwatcher]

Gardner engages beast mode.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's out. Not worth the risk.

 

[Substance]

What a way to lose.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gardner runout for 41. There was never 2 runs in it.

[jhong]

Just when they were going so well , that slight hesitation cost her big .

 

[Moonwatcher]

A sneaky 50 runs from 40 balls from Wareham?

A sneaky 50 runs from 40 balls from Wareham?

I’m saying nothing

 

[jhong]

The commentary haha, add in the non stop church bells in the back ground . Expecting “Hells Bells “ to break out soon as well .

 

[Moonwatcher]

Warewolf goes

 

[jhong]

Well just came back from an ad and missed 2 Balls of this over .

 

[jhong]

We are running out of wickets

 

[Moonwatcher]

Never played but I don't understand why batters risk the stumping like that

 

[Substance]

2 stumpings & a run out is amateur hour. Bank the ashes and get home. That's a failure of a tour by our womens high standards.

 

[jhong]

Win Network pathetic . So quick to run off to an add break , so slack getting back to the cricket.

 

[jhong]

P.s England haven’t won the Ashes , the rest is just talk . Our girls appear in a hurry to end this .

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hard not to be very disappointed with a retained trophy here, just like the blokes on the last tour.

The women have a fair bit of work to do, though Lanning back will obviously help.

 

[Freezin]

Feels like a Clayton's Ashes TBH.....6-0 up, to finish 8-8...moral victory for the English.... Gardner and Perry been the standouts across this tour.....the rest have had fleeting moments, whilst a fair few of them, having none at all.

 

[jhong]

Well played England, but you can stick your commentary up your clacker. Hopefully Lanning comes back .

 

[Teen Wolf]

Congratulations to England for managing to equal their 2017/18 performance, another series they managed to tie against an Australian team without Meg Lanning (except this time it was on English soil). Remarkable achievement.

to win both the 50 over and T20 series against the self proclaimed 'best side in the world' is a result I didnt see coming, but also a bit of an inditement of the overall scoring system..

I was interested In Alana Kings comment mentioning that the gap between the two she believes has increased . Sometimes Alana I feel speaks her mind . I think I the same question, Heather Knight have a much more measured response.

To say they are the 'self proclaimed' best side in the world is harsh given they hold both World Cups.

 

[NYRB]

All good things have to come to an end eventually

Best ever but lost more games than the England women did who wernt even given a chance. Hollow victory when Australia lost more than won and retain on a bit of a rubbish points system.

Anyway hearing from a lot of whingeing Poms, what’s the odds the points based format is revamped for the next womens Ashes? You can probably bet it will change .

 

[NYRB]

Can you imagine the response if the side who are holding both Mens World Cups went around describing themselves as the best side in the world...? (even if they are, which they arent, unlike the Womens WC holders...)
