Why? As a cricket nation we do well very very often. The Women's team has been the elite of the elite for a long time.

I thought a World Cup Semi Final probably deserved its own thread.

ODI - South Africa Women v England Women (World Cup 2nd semi final) @ Christchurch, Thurs 31 March @ 12pm local (10am AEDT)
I thought the semi final probably deserved its own thread even though Australia aren't involved in this one. It was South Africa who finished the higher of the two after the group stage and they also won the meeting between the two earlier in the tournament. However it is England who go in to...

Been a tournament of superb cricket from go to whoa. Ratings for Foxtel have been good too (like, better than what the A-League gets on FTA). Certainly worth keeping in mind when the next knob comes along and complains that Ch10 could have been the saviours for the sport. Well, yet again, they had their chance and instead decided to spend $200m on soccer.
One of a few other regrets about the tournament would be the disgraceful absence of Sri Lanka because neither Bangladesh nor Pakistan, despite having come a long way in a short time, possess a player half as good as Chamari Atapattu. These missed opportunities are inevitable when you deprioritise your women's program to the point of not playing a match for a year or more--see also the ongoing downfall of India.
And while there remains no greater downfall in the last 10 years than the West Indies, I'm not so bothered by such a blatant faux-triumph because it meant Stafanie Taylor (seemingly their only player who didn't over-celebrate the fortuitous qualification-via-weather) got another shot to go deep into a major tournament. That's something she won't have later in the year when it's Barbados, not Jamaica, competing in Birmingham.
Make no mistake, the Commonwealth Games will repeat the tale of 24 years ago by being much less kind to the Caribbean than to South Africa who continue to chip away at something big (and will eventually get there if they can sustain their unparalleled rate of improvement, which is fuelled by the ingenious premise of playing more cricket in the last decade than anybody else).
Another regret is that England can be a bit sloppy in the field, rely too much on finger spin, and keep rolling out the Golden Girls pace attack... which, sure, is still getting the job done against most teams most of the time. However, if you're a supposed women's cricket superpower, you can a) field a team that isn't as good as Australia, or b) field a team that doesn't have as much upside as Australia. But you can't do both! With players like Mady Villiers, Sarah Glenn and Issy Wong to work with, option B really shouldn't be an option.
Final regret worth mentioning: Absence of Tayla Vlaeminck. Not that the absences of Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham were great. Nor should the ups-and-downs of the younger Darcie Brown be seen as anything besides natural. But if Vlaeminck was present and bowling as well as she was in the last WBBL, all the comfortable victories (and the couple closer ones) would've been bloodbaths.

Aust depth in the women's game is amazing....Redmayne is a class bat and keeper, she will seamlessly replace Healy or Haynes in the opening bat when they retire. Pllus all those bowlers mentioned above out injured easily could of played in that team for Australia...
