it's a sticky situation to be in when you're playing a poor team. you can bat forever and it looks mean and pointless, or you can declare before you've made as much runs as you possibly can and look conceited. there was a few grumbles when ricky ponting would declare before making 500. this match could be one of them?


nathan hauritz with a very nice 75 as nightwatchman. declared while snorks, haddin and johnson were still in the shed.
You can beat a team and not tap dance all over their head. JFC…
 
What's extreme pace for a women?

Ignoring Perry’s reported 130kph from last year, which has been question in regads to speed gun accuracy, the last part of this article gives a good idea to who’s seen as genuine, consistent serious pace options in the womens game:



South African veteran Shabnim Ismail, rated as one of the meanest and quickest pacers in the world right now, was the previous holder of the record for bowling the fastest ball in women’s cricket.

Shabnim Ismail clocked 128kph (80 mph) in the 2023 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final match against England in Cape Town. She produced an inspiring performance in the match with the ball and helped South Africa qualify for their maiden ICC World Cup final.

Ismail consistently clocked above the 125kph mark in that match to claim the wickets of Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey and Heather Knight and finished with the figures of 3/27 in four overs.

Lea Tahuhu of New Zealand and Shikha Pandey of India are among the other top bowlers in women’s cricket who bowl consistently around speeds of 122 to 126kph.


 
At what point does Annabel Sutherland get a massive batting promotion.. she is the stand out every game while the likes of McGrath keeps stinking it up.
