Australian Women v West Indies Women (3 T20s and 3 ODIs) Oct 2023

[NYRB]

Alyssa Healy saying in commentary reckons the West Indies innings is probably over now given that we have already lost overs in this game.

 

[NYRB]

Alyssa Healy also saying she isnt good at maths.

 

[NYRB]

We already have lost overs in this game, so you would imagine with this shower being a relatively long shower, West Indies innings is probably curtailed?

 

[NYRB]

Nicholson reckons they dont get back on the field here (The West Indies batting that is)

 

[NYRB]

Cricket Australia being low budget and cost cutting:

 

[NYRB]

Cricinfo mentioning that the game cannot go past 5:25PM Melbourne time. Currently its 3:47PM and there hasnt been much word out yet.

 

[NYRB]

And thats it for me today, I have to go grab some lunch. Cant sit down and wait for the game to resume.

 

[NYRB]

Got a big night of cricket ahead...this is just the entree.

 

[NYRB]

Weather Melbourne should allow us a completed game :

I know it was Matthews on strike, but why wouldn't you have a slip still in place in the 7th over

 

[Barrybran]

Windies are being shafted here. Both of those decisions were not out.

I saw the Sutherland catch - still trying to work out what the third umpire saw as the call seemed to clearly make contact with the ground with a puff of dust

What else happened?

LBW where it looked like it hit the edge of the bat a fraction before the pads.

 

[NYRB]

West Indies did well eventually to get over 100 .

 

[Cleavy]

are we going for the bonus point?

 

[NYRB]

This ODI series has been a huge letdown given West Indies managed to win one of the T20 games.

 

[NYRB]

Ash Gardner will bat if required as she came off the field .

 

[NYRB]

I honestly reckon if you gave the West Indies 20 wickets in hand, Australia could beat them with 10 wickets in hand. Such is the gap.

 

[jhong]

Wonder why they didn't regig the batting order and give some middle to lower order a hit .

 

[NYRB]

Australia won with 207 balls to spare in Game 3

Agree

I'm happy to see with the opening pair as they try to form a bond & connection in that role, but not sure what we really gained by batting Perry and Mooney

Thinking it could have been a good opportunity to get Sutherland, King and Wareham in thre middle, and thinking that their WBBL teams would have liked to see them given a hit also

Should have played a game of the 100 to round out of the afternoon

I actually feel for anyone that paid a ticket for this series. West Indies batting first, in two of the matches with West Indies batting first and getting ambushed and a washout in 2nd ODI. Not exactly a great endorsement for womens cricket getting lopsided matches like that. More lopsided than what we have seen in the Mens World cup especially.

If today was going to be predicted weather of 25c and blue skies, I bet we bat first after winning the toss - but with the questionable weather around today they decided to play it safe & in a situation in which they knew they'd be able to force a result

I missed the toss as I was in bed at the time but fair enough. I reckon a fair amount of Aussies in that XI will be a tad rusty though with WBBL starting this Thursday. Not alot of them got time in the middle. eg middle to lower order.
