Women's Ashes 3rd ODI England v Australia July 18 2130hrs @ Taunton

[Moonwatcher]

1am and 2nd innings just getting started.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Damn

 

[Substance]

Their seam bowlers are superior. Healy fails again.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Openers gone for 8 runs between them

 

[Moonwatcher]

Lucky the test is worth double (as it should)

 

[Doggy]

Their seam bowlers are superior. Healy fails again.

LOL, she's been s**t all round

 

[Moonwatcher]

Job done - Healy 2023

 

[Substance]

Tmac has a tendency to leave a gap & not get her eye behind the ball. This will be interesting.

 

[Moonwatcher]

At least we can all go to bed

 

[Teen Wolf]

Which is fine but why has she only bowled 6. This comes back to team selection surely she can bowl her full allotment and we can play a Grace Harris type. Just seems overkill with bowlers now that’s not only on Healy but it’s in the selectors. We’ve lacked power hitters all tour in these limited overs

Um probably because you can't bowl from both ends. She's less effective when the opposition are just knocking it around through the middle overs, so it's perfectly competent selection and captaincy to rely on spinners who turn it more at that stage.

Harris barely fired a shot in her preferred format... 3 fours 0 sixes in 3 T20Is, so yeah let's pick her for the ODIs with that blistering form. Even though relying on Wareham to slog has paid far greater dividends.

I don’t think you even have a clue what you’re talking about most of the time

 

[Moonwatcher]

There’s 4 decent ones plus SA are just a level below. India have improved massively lately the WIPL will be huge for their development. NZ is always decent going through a rebuild now post Devine, Bates though

That's probably more competitive than the men's competition tbh.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Unleash the McGrath

Is this the day she wins one off her own bat?

 

[Substance]

Really getting tied up for runs now

 

[Moonwatcher]

Poor Ashes from McGrath

 

[Moonwatcher]

Stumped isn't good enough when you're needed to bat long

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rain won't help Australia unless it's a complete washout, then we WIN the Ashes.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Sleep well Bigfooty

 

[Moonwatcher]

Play due to restart 6:50pm local time about 12 minutes from now. 3:50am AEST

 

[Moonwatcher]

269 from 44 overs. DSL making it very tough for Australia lose 6 overs and only take 17 runs off the target.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Perry goes for 54. Getting tough now.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Mooney 16. It's all coming undone.

 

[jhong]

This will be over very quick .

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need 75 runs from each of this pair from here on.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Both are capable.

 

[jhong]

Why don’t they just put up how many runs needed and how many balls left .
