Stats like that are to remind us that women's cricket has really only just become very professional, lol.

I did have to laugh in the other thread about people wondering if Aus not turning up in the warmups actually meant they were vulnerable. We've seen this movie before, people.

pound for pound probably the GOAT sports team. Aus Men 1995 - 2007, WI 80s and All Blacks 2008-2017 all up there but they could be and were beaten, and often had to fight very hard for victory.

The current Aussie women are just a stupidly unfair team. It's not like England, NZ, India or SA have had bad teams the past few years. The likes of Sciver and Kerr are pound for pound white ball greats across both genders.

Like, any argument for any other team can immediately be countered with "Tahlia McGrath batted 7". Just a ludicrous and totally unprecedented amount of depth in the squad, even if they've come a little off their peak.

England made heavier work of finishing that match against Ireland than they should have. But what a talent Capsey is. I think overall this tournament has come a couple of years too soon for England, they are a side in transition with some very talented young players.

In the second match of the day I'm favouring NZ, primarily based on the bonkers SA selection policy.

There will be one every couple of years, don't worry. But yeah it's encouraging to see youngsters like Capsey and Dunkley settle in so well.

Shrubsole has moved on and KSB will be gone soon. Bell, Wong and Kemp have loads of potential though. Spin isn't likely to be an issue for a while. England really need a couple of extra batters to come through. There's a huge drop off in talent below the top tier, from say Knight to Bouchier.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

NZ having another nightmare tournament. Looks like a 2nd thrashing coming up.

 

[nzfan]

It's looking highly unlikely now to turn it around but as long as Devine is around anything is possible.

 

[nzfan]

Sophie gone too ?

 

[anil1405]

Wow. Didn't expect this from NZ. Two heavy defeats.

 

[Gremlin]

Quite a drubbing.

 

[anil1405]

Goodbye NZ. See you in next WC.

Jeepers New Zealand, that was pitiful 67 all out. I guess well done to my ladies but their batting was also dodgy

 

[ataraxia]

will Sri Lanka get through??!

 

[Zinzan]

Hang your heads in shame NZ, utter disgrace. It's not the 2 losses, it's the humiliating margin of them.

Doubt there'll be any accountability sadly.

Top order has to wear alot of the blame, both games 2 of the top 3 have copped ducks. You don't often win games at 2/0.

 

[Heboric]

I hope New Zealand havent completely fallen off the wagon, need them to beat Sri Lanka

 

[CricAddict]

Srilanka look well placed to qualify for semis here. iirc they did not even qualify for the previous T20 world cup.
