Women's Ashes Only Test England v Australia June 22-26 1930hrs @ Trent Bridge

[DEVO]

It was on a wet pitch at the Junction Oval - England asked Austraia to bat and bowled us out for just 38, Wilson top scored with 12.

From the related article:

"But it was Betty Wilson who had the last laugh.
She tore the England batting line-up apart with her off-spin, taking 7-7 as the tourists were dismissed for 35 during a spell that included the first ever hat-trick in women's international cricket.
Then, she scored a century as Australia posted 9-202 declared in their second dig.
The game ended in a rain-affected draw but Australia came close to stealing a win when Wilson collected 4-9 in England's second innings, finishing the match figures of 11-16.
In doing so, she became the first cricketer, male or female, to score a century and take 10 wickets in a Test, a feat not matched until 1980 when Ian Botham hit 114 and picked up 13 wickets against India in Mumbai."

I must admit I found it interesting that when they lost the first day to the weather, they didn't play on the rest day.

11/16 is probably more influential than 12/165. We would have won by an innings.

They're not cutting games and, I'm sorry to say, they won't be playing more than 1 Test per series for the foreseeable future. Adding 2-day red ball games to the WNCL, and getting the likes of NZ to join in on the multi-format idea, is doable and on the agenda though.

100% think that’s what I said earlier. Maybe 2, but I like the current format and I like how we can play both Ashes concurrently

Won't see 11/16 again now they cover pitches and go off for sun behind the clouds.

Then again, NZ just lost to essentially one Sri Lankan by 9 wickets, so those kind of results don't really help their case.

Use this thread for the rest of the "multi-format Ashes" or?

Good to see Schutt back on deck and bowling accurately to start with in this first T20 at Edgbaston

 

[k31th]

how the F did that bail stay on? ball fair clattered into the off stump, but nope, no bails fell off

 

[k31th]

cracking delivery from Schutt to knock over Wyatt

 

[k31th]

great throw by Brown to run out Capsey, unlucky that her bat bounced

 

[k31th]

nice outfield catch Wolfy Jonassen gets Nat Sciver-Brunt

 

[10Dulkar]

These two going well and will be eyeing 160. Need to break this partnership.

McGrath a good option.

 

[10Dulkar]

And there you go

 

[jhong]

She hit that , fair enough.

 

[10Dulkar]

Massive wicket for Schutt. Dunkley was going beautifully.

 

[10Dulkar]

Aussies applying the squeeze here. Great to see Jonassen bowling!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Schutter McGavin would be disappointed with that drop

 

[jhong]

A better throw to Healy and that would of been a run out . And now we put a catch down .

 

[Substance]

That drop is costly now

 

[Moonwatcher]

Expensive over as a result of the drop

 

[jhong]

There has been some wild throws this innings

 

[10Dulkar]

Brilliant batting against the premier strike bowler. Felt she could have taken more pace off as Jones had lined her up.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Defendable total now. Australia should win but won't be a walk in the park.

 

[10Dulkar]

Some knock that!

 

[10Dulkar]

Is Capsey good? You'd surely want Nat Sciver in the top three with her hitting power.

RIP Healy
