ODI Australia women vs England women, (World Cup Final) @ Christchurch, Sun 3 April @ 1pm local (11am Syd/Mel)

[Santana]

This would be one of the all time turn arounds for England to win from here

Edit: My bad, wicket is on me

 

[Moonwatcher]

160 run partnership. You'd take that at the start of the day.

 

[DEVO]

Pointless shot Haynes, not necessary and pays for it. Great innings though and has the Aussies of to a fast start.

Easy to say that any given shot is unnecessary.

 

[DEVO]

Haynes finishes the Series on 497 runs. The most ever in a women's world cup.

With less than 20 overs to go, here are the remaining batting options in the top 7:

Series Strikerates:
https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...y_team.html?id=13629;team=289;type=tournament
Lanning 87
Perry 71
McGrath 88
Gardner 139

Career ODI Strikerates:
Lanning 92
Perry 76
McGrath 90
Gardner 117

Career T20 Strikerates:
Lanning 115
Perry 105
McGrath 156 (from 113 balls faced)
Gardner 129

Based on the above data, and that Australia have less than 20 overs remaining with the loss of only 1 wicket, I'd like Perry to come in at number 7.

(If I was making the decision, and)
if the 2nd wicket falls before the 35th over, I'd bring in Lanning next.
if the 2nd wicket falls between overs 36 and 40, I'd bring in McGrath next.
if the 2nd wicket falls after the completion of over 40, I'd bring in Gardner next.

But most importantly, Perry should come in at number 7.

Beg to differ - at 0-160, go big or get out is the usual approach, plus smacking Ecclestone out the attack leaves England with very few other bowling options..!

 

[k31th]

Fantastic hundred from Healy! So good!

 

[Allezjuel]

Knock Heals! Established herself as the big match player following her 75 off 39 in the 2020 T20 WC final and back to back centuries in the 2022 ODI WC semi-final and final.

Officially best player in the family

The innings was already accelerating nicely, Ecclestone was accurate but they were comfortably scoring off her at around 4.5 to 5 an over. There was no need to play a stupid shot like that when placing the ball into the many gaps was doing the job nicely.

Congrats to Healy for another wonderful 100. Anybody who thinks she is unworthy of a spot in this team has rocks in their head.

Will we see a congratulations from LP1.

 

[Santana]

330+ hopefully

 

[k31th]

Absolutely scooting along now... If Healy stays in and/or Gardner/McGrath get in and hit 'em well, 350 is on the cards.

 

[DEVO]

330+ hopefully

I'm thinking 350+ is a possibility.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bowl Dean please

Regards

Me

 

[k31th]

now that is ridiculous confidence from Healy to play that paddle from well outside off over her left shoulder and just over the short fine leg for 4

 

[Moonwatcher]

320 my prediction

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rock 'n' roll that one more time.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pad up Gardner

 

[Moonwatcher]

Brunt almost up to a run a ball.

Pad up Gardner

[Moonwatcher]

Brunt not happy.

Great to see

What is Mooney's average for the WC right now?

What is Mooney's average for the WC right now?

Closing in on 150. Needs to reach 32 to become the 4th Aussie to reach 300 runs for the series.
