Was originally supposed to be the Ashes test pitch apparently...
Anyway probably have to take into account this spin is coming from balls bowled in the low 40's mph...if a spinner tries to bowl that speed regularly this afternoon the batsmen will have about half an hour to get to the pitch.
It's swinging considerably as well...but at 65mph

She's been getting some unbelieveable swing!
Will the Kiwi captain raise a question about it with the umpires and the match referee?

Been reported before, got banned from grade cricket in Australia but got cleared before the world cup. Looks dodgy to me, Guha should be in the side before her anyway.
Yeah I'm surprised Guha is not in the side, watching the matches in both world cups she seems like one of the better bowlers around in women's cricket to me.

She's right up there in the rankings (think she was no 1 before the ODI WC) think the reasoning is that they want Marsh to open the bowling and Gunn adds a bit more to the batting given there are maybe slight concerns over the middle order

No surprises there.
Do disagree with this comment by Cricinfo though: "They've been outstanding and are so far ahead of their competition."
Not the outstanding part, just the so far ahead. Reckon we're pretty evenly matched when we both play well. That's the key, I suppose, but I don't understand how he can say that they're so far ahead after that semi-final...
Anyway, congratulations to England. Claire Taylor finishing it off again with a four. Really looking forward to the Ashes now.

*eyes light up* ... too easy
Anyway from what I've seen the women's teams are very top heavy (I'm sure I could phrase that better), the top 3-4 batsmen are usually leagues ahead of the rest - so early wickets are absolutely huge and generally decide the match.

Nah, the match was a big let-down. Semi-final was a cracker though, should have watched that instead.

Isn't Gunn sort an an all-rounder though?
