This match may be over tomorrow.

With the inconsistency of our batting it could happen for sure like Gabba 2 summers ago.

 

[icyflakes]

5fa from Brown to wrap up the innings

 

[troybe]

It’s a Michelle for Darcie Excellent bowling

 

[big_e]

Lowest innings total by South Africa in tests, and the third lowest of any innings this century, ahead only of Pakistan's 53 vs Ireland in 2000 and the Netherlands making 50 vs South Africa in Rotterdam in 2007.

Has Litchfield been found out a bit this series?

6 innings for a total of 41 runs, a high score is 14 with 12 her only other double digit score & she hasn't passed 5 in her other 4 innings

Looks like she has a few things to go back and work on, but also SA have shown opposition teams how to bowl to her

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't want to slam women's cricket, as a matter of fact I'm a fan, but this Test has been some of the worst batting displays I've ever seen.

Yep it's been shocking. Now Australia getting out to awful shots

 

[Plugger35]

South Africa might end up with a first innings lead.

 

[jhong]

Some really impatient batting from our top order has the Saffers back in the match

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Another s**t shot. That's it, time to turn off the TV, can't watch this garbage anymore.

 

[010203]

Today, 89 runs have been scored.....for the loss of 13 wickets.

 

[danielnajdek]

We have too many stroke players for a test match. They wanna smash every second ball for 4.

 

[Cleavy]

This may be a silly question - why isn't Kapp playing?

Surely she's been SA's best player this series, so thought we'd be seeing her today

She's basically been an injury test every game so assuming they didn't want to risk her for a potential 4 days straight.

injured

illness they're saying on cricinfo

 

[Santana]

This could be a match-winning partnership the way this game is going.

 

[DEVO]

Brilliant innings from the Captain, especially in the extreme heat, she has looked very focused and very controlled.

Excellent support from Mooney as well.

She’s young we can afford to be patient. I’ve said it before though whilst she CAN open she’s a natural 3. Our batting seems one short in pure batsmen not helped by McGrath barely making a run lately

 

[troybe]

Well done Midge

 

[jhong]

2 of our most experienced test players steady the ship , well played so far ladies

 

[Gethelred]

This is some beautiful strokemaking from Healy at the moment.

Edit: and Mooney joins the party. That's a glorious cover drive.

 

[Taylor]

These two are our version of Kapp, but she counts for two because she also bowls. Rising above and taking the game away from the opposition.

 

[cats_09]

Mooney will be annoyed with herself

And Sutherland showing a few others about patience early in an innings - took 16(?) balls to score her first run, but didn't try to force anything in those previous 15 balls, played what was in front of her and waited for the right ball

 

[troybe]

Some lovely shots from Sutherland

 

[DEVO]

Australia scoring at 4.7 an over.

 

[Plugger35]

Healy has done a Warnie, out for 99 at the WACA.
