Australia v India Women’s series

[NYRB]

Commentator did make a good point about Richas fitness, if your batting at the number 3 spot- you need to be fit, need to be aggressive. He has had a go at her strike rate throughout the innings eg saying she doesnt have gears . Its boundary or nothing pretty much with her, very little singles.

 

[NYRB]

Weird take to say Steve Waugh after recent happenings.

I just think back to the Ashes where he was injured and had a way of scoring despite in the wars.

Steve Waugh was one of those batters, you knew that if he was more in pain- he would somehow perform better.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dropping Richa might bite us

 

[Moonwatcher]

For every small over India have a big over.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Terrible fielding

 

[Moonwatcher]

Litchfield with a great catch. Richa misses her hundred.

 

[NYRB]

Richa goes on 96 and thats a big wicket again, it keeps Aussies interested.

41 needed off 37 with 5 in hand.

 

[NYRB]

Another 2 overs of Richa and you would have sensed it would have been game over.

 

[NYRB]

if your Healy right now, you be tempted to bowl Sutherland straight out here.

Yeah I remember it well, but Maxwell's innings was uncanny, and more recent. Just thought it'd be the first to spring to mind.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Effectively two new batters at the crease

 

[NYRB]

one thing with Richa your probably going to see faster running between the wickets.

 

[grumbleguts]

if your Healy right now, you be tempted to bowl Sutherland straight out here.

If you're Healy you haven't got a clue and you'd start seeing people like McGrath and Perry captaining in the field.

Could make a case that Maxwell and Steve Waugh are on a par in terms of being courageous Aussie players.

 

[NYRB]

I used to hear the term 'stand-and-deliver' alot from commentators when Tugga was batting. Meaning he would back himself to play shots rather than niggle and nurdle his way when in the wars. Its sort of what I remember him for.

 

[NYRB]

Australia have researched Deepti batting, all leg side fielders.

 

[NYRB]

I wonder if Deepti would be brave enough to play offside with no fielders out deep?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Sounded like an edge to me

 

[Moonwatcher]

Grassed

 

[NYRB]

Healy wasnt sure if she caught it on the full there. It did look like it bounced though.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Dot ball at least

 

[NYRB]

Now we hear Healy say "it went straight in" lol.....damn she would make a pretty bad poker player.

 

[NYRB]

Full toss from Gardner and that deserved to get spanked for 4.

 

[NYRB]

India are going to leave this chase down to the last over you sense in this 2nd ODI.
