One things for sure, England won't be declaring with 2 wickets in hand in this test

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Their As and Full strength team flogged us around in the warm ups. Bazball style

 

[the_interloper]

I’ll probably watch, did enjoy the test in Australia last time (shocking captaincy by us towards the end in that match from memory)

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is it on Foxtel?

I don't think the men's team will in future either

...stuffed up the declaration, didn't win. Yep, checks out.

Both teams in the Aus v Eng-A match scored at a run rate of 4.8, one team just did it when conditions were harder to bat. And probably fair to say Jess Jonassen was flogging the full-strength English team around with her 173*. Might be enough to get her selected in the full-strength Australian team.

Even though the weather forecast looks decent, and they're playing 5 days now, it'll all count for nothing if it's on a pitch similar to the warm-ups (and the last 3 drawn Tests between the 2 teams).

Thanks for putting up this Gough as we cant neglect our girls. We have a terrific Test record against the Poms.

Teen Phoebe Litchfield is a huge prospect. Tahlia McGrath is now one of our most consistent all rounders while everyone's favorite Ellyse Perry is, simply, a CHAMPION. We will miss the strong leadership of Meg Lanning tho.

[smasha]

[NYRB]

which is likely to be a better batting wicket between these two sides? the game they last played in Canberra or here at Trent Bridge?

 

[NYRB]

Surprised to note 4 of the last 6 tests between the two sides have ended in draws.

4 day games most likely did not help.In all 4 days I have often thought they should look at if a side is not all out after 120 overs in the 1st innings it should be a compulsory closure.This being women and mens cricket.

I only noticed through looking at past game it was a 4 day test match. Im not sure if Women given how much ratio of white ball matches: red ball matches, know how to 'grind ' innings . Ill be interested to see the style of game played over the first couple of days of this test match.

 

[NYRB]

With my comments about 4 day games compulsory closure 1st innings both sides it depends a lot on the wickets of cause.I

The problem with that idea, is it almost becomes an ODI within a Test match.

And looking at the last three test matches between the teams, it was a single test match was squeezed in between a T20 series and ODI series. Under a points based format , for the overall series, there would be no incentive for the team to declare , especially for the team leading the points based system.

 

[BGman]

This Ashes to be played over five days, first time the English Dukes will be used and a Tier One ground will be the venue. Female Test cricket is on the up.

Aussies win toss and batting. Litchfield and Garth to debut.

 

[danstar]

No idea who these scrubs are, hopefully they provide more insight then SOK lol
