Aussie women off to a good start in the final

The rain has stayed away so far despite it being forecast. Hopefully the lads dig in today and put the match beyond doubt.

Jesus that was a terrible ODi team selection last night.

Oh Dear , Shield final on the edge now !!

What a choke after dominating day 1

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would give back every BBL and ODD title just for one Shield title. Don’t blow this FFS.

Probably , we're brittle and our strength is in our bowling depth but 50/50 game now .

Philippe has covered himself in glory when the pressure is on.

To be fair, this is close to a second XI that we have out there.

I've been impressed with Hardie's bowling at least since the tail end of the BBL. Something seems to have clicked for him.

He seems to have been getting some lovely shape away from the right hander. Looks to have found a yard of pace too.

Promising signs if his elbow holds up.

Double century in play for Healy.

 

[southcoast]

Maybe they've done a Dazzler9 and forgotten it's a 4 day game.

Interweb saying five day game.

If correct we’ll need to bat for a long time to save/win this final.

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah 5 days for the final. Need to bat all of today which looks unlikely

 

[Dazzler9]

Get to 270 to 300 to give ourselves an even chance. A lot riding on Whiteman after lunch.

Big total racked up in the WC final. England under a lot of pressure after choosing to field.

England's strength is their bowling. It wasn't a poor decision. The two dropped catches will be what they rue and now they have to have the highest ever successful run chase and in a world cup final.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Sure if we can get to a 300 run lead, we should be in the box seat.

I think if your strength is bowling you bat first and defend. Good bowling + scoreboard pressure = wickets. Good bowling without a target sees basically what happened, Australia gave themselves time to settle in and accelerated as the game went on.

Australian womens team is too good, everyone was playing for second this WC.

This is one hell of an innings by Whiteman

Hey guys, apologies from the grainy picture, but does this look like a no ball? The VIc spinner. I am not sure if he grounds his foot during his action. This is just before he releases the ball.

No the front foot can be in the air as long as the heel is raised behind the crease.. fair ball.
