Schutter McGavin strikers early

8 bowling options and we are giving Voll an over - wtf !

What a shot from Dottin.

Yes - 8 options if you include Voll, as we know that Litchfield, Mooney & Molineux are the 3 we won't see bowling across this series

With a T20 WC coming up in June, they've been open about wanting to use this series to experiment with various line up options, seeing what different players have to offer etc - so not sure it should be surprising to see the likes of Voll & Perry getting overs when they haven't necessarily bowled a lot internationally over recent times

And with Voll having hit her maiden T20 century, why not give her an over while she's on a high

 

[Moonwatcher]

RRR 15 and the covers come on after 10 overs. Only one team is winning this game.

Commentators think the rain will blow over rather quickly

I'm curious to see what the DLS comes up as

don't have an issue with Perry who has 100+ T20 wickets having a bowl.

in the context of the game, it's done and dusted, but i found it strange to give Voll a bowl in the 5th over, especially with rain about.
she's they type to get an over in the last over of the match with the opposition needing 40 or more.

because of the multiple bowling options we have, no one has really bowled many overs in this series.

10 King
8 Garth
7 Wareham
5 McGrath
5 Schutt
3 Gardner
3 Perry
3 Carey
3 Brown
2 Hamilton
0 Molineux

1 Voll

Wouldn't it have been precisely because of the rain about? (push through quickly to get the min overs bowled to constitute a match -- idk I'm not watching)

 

[cats_09]

And rain has called an early end to the match

Aus win by 40 runs on DLS

 

[Moonwatcher]

Litchfield started well in this format at least.

 

[cats_09]

Some solid contributions with the bat, though Gardner continued with her recent struggles - 1 score over 20 from her past 9 innings for Aus

Hopefully there's a better YouTube feed than this

those cartoon faces!

those cartoon faces!

Right

It's really annoying as the West Indies Cricket channel on YouTube allowed us to watch the T20s but we're blocked from the ODIs

I clicked on the next option and up comes that screen - there's no movement, it's only the flashing "4 Leg Byes" which updates after each ball and simply fake crowd noise of a constant cheer

They showed the 1st innings but aren't showing the 2nd.

 

[cats_09]

And the carton avatars get worse

 

[Around the Wicket]

not on Kayo? How do we watch this?

Windies don't even look like there trying to win these games... happy to just plot along

 

[Around the Wicket]

captain moved up to 4... really trying to warrant her selection lol

 

[Cleavy]

at least she made runs to justify the move

according to CA: All matches will be broadcast on ESPN via Disney+ only

Disney+

They're the broadcast rights holder for matches in the West Indies

The West Indies Cricket YouTube channel was showing the T20s and the first innings today but they've now blocked us Aussies from watching - if you've got a VPN you may be able to get around that
