T20I Australia v Pakistan women - 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is

[Teen Wolf]

Won't be a issue much longer?

If they change the date there will still be carry on, if they change to name there will still be carry on.

Victim card will live on.

Well, in this thread, it's pretty clear who's carrying on.

This match was originally announced as a Jan 27 fixture. It was later moved forward a day, which was revealed within hours of the headline-grabbing BBL fixture announcement. CA were clearly uncomfortable about the scheduling and, after Ash Gardner speaking out, won't even think about putting the national women's team on this time next year.

As for the victim card... weren't you just in another thread shedding a tear for the mistreatment of poor David Warner.

I respect the indigineous people but we live in a free society and in constant need of sport. I say Cricket Australia need and should have some sort of fixture on Australia Day.

I would be shocked if Cricket Australia didn't have a cricket event whether it be BBL or some national form in either men or women next year.

We have had cricket in the 90's on Australia Day in fact it was a marquee cricketing day just like the Boxing Day test and New Years test. I don't see the need to change that.

It’s just a day meh, if anyone feels so much they can just not play. They have to make the most of public holidays for attendances. Every year we have this debate and guess what nothing happens aside from people protesting being pork chops.

Brown has been the attackable bowler for the Pakistan so far this T20 series.

batsman will be targetting those 51 metre boundaries today. Ropes have been brought in.

Pity we will only get 14 overs at best of our batting

Standing room only

4 an over when you already have been gifted over of Brown…

This is very ordinary batting

I agree with you. I respect the first nations people.

We cant keep on leaving in a woke society. If you can play games on : ANZAC day, Christmas day, Martin Luther King Day ( a day to celebrate Black Americans) then you can play on a day like this.

I remember back int he 90s when Adelaide OVal used to get the Australia Day fixture from men's side and no one talked about the 'invasion' back then.

This is where I believe sports and politics don't mix.

The first Aboriginal Day of Mourning was held on 26 January 1938.

It's just taken a long time for people to start listening.

Is Healy injured or dropped?

What was Muneeba thinking? there was never a 3 there

 

[NYRB]

Muneeba pretty lucky too, bat bounced up at she crossed the line.

 

[NYRB]

that was a beautiful cover driver from Muneeba for 4 off Schutt

 

[danielnajdek]

Whats it cost to sit in the stands for one of these games?

I wouldn't pay $1 to watch Pakistan bat first.

 

[NYRB]

Ricky Ponting would have been proud of that one

 

[DEVO]

It is like watching an international side against an underage side, the Pakistan team is outclassed, and outmuscled but you would hope they would learn a great deal from the experience.

 

[danielnajdek]

Already 7 bowlers bowled in 8 overs. Surely we are taking the piss.

And King hasn't even bowled a over yet.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Are Australia and England the only good womens sides?

India are OK came close to beating us in Commonwealth Games gold and round robin match.

England is alright. Id still have the pecking order as: Australia, India , England

 

[cats_09]

Is Healy injured or dropped?

Recovering from a calf injury

 

[Around the Wicket]

4.6 an over after only losing 1 wicket on a out and out road, call me sexest but no wonder womens sport isn't popular.

 

[NYRB]

maybe not a bad wicket for Pakistan to lose.

Muneeba never really got going, 33 off 43.

Selfish senior player strolls out in Dar, hitters down the order left waiting.
