Alicia Healy is a poor keeper. I'd say she's chosen because she's very useful with the bat. She has poor glovework. I've watched most of the Ashes and she drops the ball a lot. Doesn't have to be a difficult take either.

Just muffed an easy run-out chance. It's like watching Wade on a bad day.

On the other hand, Sarah Taylor is excellent. I am not sure there is a better example of wicketkeeping technique on display at the international level right now - in either the men's or women's game.

We will be getting the T20s by the looks of it so I will definitely take a look at those before the men's ones start. Would have preferred to watch the test though.

Yeah, that chews up way too much of my data allowance so I had to give that a miss.

I watched a fair bit of the test as Sky showed it. Good game.

Yes, friends of mine in the UK watched it and enjoyed it. Hopefully next time they are on over here we will get coverage.

Congrats girls.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well done Aussies! Didn't think they had a chance when I heard how low their score was so surprised to wake up and hear they had won!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great stuff! They really are a fantastic team.

She's excellent, quite brilliant standing up to the stumps but I'm not sure that she has been up to her usual very high standards in this sereis.

Well done girls. Brilliant effort.

Final game in progress..
A couple of the AUS team look like members of the East Germany shot-putter team..
some sex tests need to be carried out here.

Really? I was thinking exactly that about the English players, they seem a fair bit beefier than than the Aussies!

Am being subjected to watching it

Shrubsole is a sexy name...

Healy looks like Ian Bell when she has a helmet on. Gives the same little snarl when concentrating.

Geez, Grace Harris has some power!

The Mitch Marsh of the women's team!

You can't help but be impressed by how little of a f*** Edwards gives when she's fielding

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ha! First ball, first wicket!!! Perry strikes again!

I think her brain cares a lot but it also knows that her body is not willing or able
