*Official* Women's World Cup 2022

Well done ladies another great win...


now just stop these silly last over wins, get it done earlier... lets make it easier on everybody.

So the next game for NZ (v Eng) is pretty much like a knock out for both teams.

If WI win their next two games against Bangers and Pak they will have 8 points and will most likely go through.

Assuming India lose to Aus and win against Bangers their final game against Proteas will be a knock out.

 

[Heboric]

Well done ladies , another close one

 

[Bahseph]

Kapp has BMT. Could she have a chat with the men's team?

 

[_Ed_]

I guess all us NZ fans can do now is keep the faith that we can beat England this weekend, but that won't be easy after their big performance yesterday.

du Preez hasn’t really convinced me this tournament. SA need to rethink their middle order a bit but I don’t think they have the resources to change it up. Kapp and Luus have saved them a few times now I think.

Could do with Lee finding some form as well.

The Protea women are the opposite of their men literally huh? The anti-chokers

damn, i was hoping Tryon's derpy shot to end all derpy shots was the beginning of the end.

mckay had a good game after i made doubtful noises when she came on to bowl offies towards the end. i would have preferred jess kerr to bowl the last.

we're going to miss devine when she's gone. carried this team today, kerr excepted.

south africa's top order are formidable. their rise in general over the past two years has been impressive. they have discovered some high quality players.

The knockout games haven’t started yet.

It's fair to say at least ONE of NZ & England won't make the finals, and potentially both may miss if other results go the wrong way for them.

The most disappointing thing is with a very quiet summer in the men's program, it was set up really well for the White Ferns to gain a bit of following. The cricket has been enjoyable but if they miss the semis, which is a very real chance, obviously a fickle public isn't going to have a lot of interest in paying attention in the future.

It just doesn't look like they back their skills when the pressure is on - not sure whether that's a lack of big matches or what it is. The Windies game obviously they couldn't execute at the death, they folded to Australia after the 300-1 game in the warm-up, then yesterday they had it for the winning again but tactically and skills-wise couldn't shut down Kapp. Was quite telling that Tahuhu didn't bowl out and Devine chose to bowl herself, and the inability to get Kapp off strike with the field set was what cost them.

 

[tony p]

Not sure whether Suzie Bates is just out of form , or she's way past her best, Satterthwaite isn't getting any younger, Maddie Green get's out at very inopportune times.
Katey Martin can take a blinder, but drop a sitter, just saw that she is 37, who's the next best wicketkeeper.
Hannah Rowe looks pretty useful though, but they can't rely on Devine and the excellent no3 & leggie to win all their games.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

In hindsight we should have picked Kate Ebrahim for the World Cup. Her results for NZ in the past were poor, but she was the best player in the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield (451 runs @75.16 - 5 50s in 7 innings) as she led Otago to the title. More batting at 5/6 would've given us 2 more wins. Anyway, huge game vs England.

 

[loterry1994]

From what I’ve seen this has been a great World Cup so far

 

[Pup Clarke]

That Laura Wolvaardt cover drive should be on billboards. Absolute perfection

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

52 for 4. All the big guns back in the pavilion. Make hay Bangladesh!

Choking the life out of the Windies batters. Nation 2 off 19, Campbelle 1 off 14

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's the 22nd over and already 109 dot balls.

This is **** batting.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Wow, imagine if Bangladesh beat the Windies! Also the WI already have the worst NRR of all the 8 teams.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

International cricketers playing like village cricketers. This is so so poor from the Windies batters.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

60/5 after 29 overs.

Even if they somehow go at 6s for the last 22 overs (which looks incredibly unlikely) they'll only get 186.

Go at 4s, which is possible, they'll only get 144.
