2020 Women's T20 World Cup - India v Australia Final - Sun 8 March, 6pm AEDT

[Xtreme]

Great start for the tournament for India

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That's out.

No waist high no ball there.

India have to be the favourites to win this tournament now.

Tournament lol

Nice try

 

[nobbyiscool]

*sigh*

That was rough.

Better to get the choke out of the way now than in the semi final I guess?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sutherland bats at 8 and gets no overs but she has that last name I suppose.

Will she even get much of a trundle on normal decks?

Our lower order is pathetic not going to improve

She’s woeful no idea why she’s in the side for! Let’s call it a Marsh selection

We’re only supposed to be watching the final for Katy Perry, aren’t we?

Least Marsh is good in the coloured clothes!

Hope young Litchfield considers a name change.

 

[DEVO]

That's a loss to Lanning. Winning the toss and bowling is a terrible decision, but then elevating herself and Haynes in batting line up was a mistake also.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I can see India dominating women's cricket over the next 10 to 100 years.

Why do you think they’ll drop off in 2121, out of interest?

 

[Teen Wolf]

As terrible as this batting has been what were the curators thinking? Talk about making India feel at home.

Curators do the best they can. Pitch conditions weren't surprising or out of the ordinary for that ground which has never been conducive to good women's cricket. WBBL matches there have always been a raffle, one of the several reasons I wanted the opener at Adelaide Oval.

Nope bowling first was the right call

Playing that utter spud Sutherland wasn’t what an utter hack

Litchfield couldn’t be worse than Sutherland lol

The best time to bat the entire game was the opening 5-6 overs of the first innings, the pitch was getting slower as the game progressed. We should have batted first and defended the total, it is what he have been best at for the last decade or so.

I don't think Sutherland should have played, but it isn't because she is a hack, she is a very good player, but she is a very young and inexperienced player.

Losing Vlaemick may be a bigger loss than we first thought, we will now have to rely on a young inexperienced fast bowler or Kimmince who doesn't have the pace to trouble the world's best batters.

Kimmice is so awful it’s not funny. No idea why she’s even in the side.

I don’t rate Sutherland nothing she does is good. She’s a pie throwing bowler and woeful bat

 

[revo333]

I don't follow women's cricket that closely but India have improved a lot in the last few years.

It used to be Australia, England and New Zealand and then daylight, India were slower to get behind women's cricket but now they have look out.

India made the world cup final in 2005 and finished 3rd in 2009.

I'm not a fan of Kimmince either, but Sutherland has potential. I think is capable of being a very solid all-rounder, she a competent batter and in time should consistantly bowl around the 115-120km mark.

 

[DEVO]

Australia have more problems than just the bowlers, the likes of Healy, Perry and Gardner struggle against the spinners, India exploited that weakness.

I thought Healy and Gardner were okay against the spinners tonight, it was Lanning, Haynes, Perry, Jonasson and Mooney who struggled. I also think India's spinners are quite unique in that they bowl around 10km slower than any other countries spinners. It seemed to suit the pitch tonight, especially in the second innings.

 

[Teen Wolf]

Meh, it needs to be said. There are players in the Aussie team that need a kick up the arse after that effort.

Some of those ladies are earning 500k playing cricket and to waltz up the wicket first ball with an 18-inch gap between bat and pad is absolute bullshit in an international tournament.

Lanning and Perry need to be far better than the s**t they brought tonight, don't sugar coat it, their dismissals were disgraceful...and Healey can't be content with a 50 and then get out to a s**t dismissal. We have the best players in the world but if they are going to play like country league players, we are not going to win this tournament. If Matthew Mott is earning his cash as a coach, he better be bringing a reality check to those three in particular.

Apart from the fact the bullshit off-spinner they got out too...they should be ashamed given the situation they were in, they deserve to be criticised, it wasn't a brave effort, it wasn't a choke, it was a disgraceful effort

Yeah because the renowned slackers Lanning and Perry have dominated for 10 years by accepting mediocrity.

Bringing up money is just petty and jealous stuff. But if we really want to get into it, they would have earned even more money last year if they were allowed to play domestic cricket in India... except CA's greed and incompetence got in the way. Too bad, a little extra experience in those conditions against those bowlers might've come in handy tonight.

You might also want to rethink your disgraceful "bullshit off-spinner" description of a leggie with 89 wickets at an average of 14.

 

[Cleavy]

so we really need to beat NZ, otherwise we're not making the semi-finals?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Competent bat? Pushing it. I don’t rate her though

 

[gordo2016]

The 16 year old Indian opener Shafali Verma, is going to be a very special player. Gee the ball makes a nice sound off her bat and she makes it look easy. Great story how she once disguised herself as her sick brother to play against other boys and she won the player of the series.

 

[brucetiki]

Thailand limp to 9/78 in their 20 overs

 

[Cleavy]

they're holding their own with the ball too.

 

[Teen Wolf]

What's. with. the rugby? Gem supposed to be showing NZ-SL right now.
