*Official* Women's Ashes 2023

[Spark]

Can't believe England were really considering bowling first on this. This pitch should have @Spark all over it....

Would have liked this on Friday tbh

Three reviews available. I think she just thought she was out, batters often do when not playing a shot.

Probably also the fact she's a kid on debut contributed too; wouldn't have wanted to burn one as her first significant action as a Test cricketer

 

[Himannv]

Mooney could have made a call from the other end though. Could be she thought it was out as well.

 

[_Ed_]

Mooney's looking a lot more comfortable now. Those drops could be costly.

Or not.

Filer deserved that. She's been impressive. It'll be interesting to see how long she can sustain the pace.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Completely missed this thread.

I feel like the Aussies are missing another specialist bat without Lanning in there. But what do I know.

I wonder why Mrs Starc (Healy) way down to #6.

20 year Litchfield debut something new for you for Aus

Mooney Gone

Aus 83/2*🫀

I need to surf near 8 minutes to finds Live Games Thread everyday. Its Hidden mostly

 

[Molehill]

I wonder why Mrs Starc (Healy) way down to #6.

Because she's skipper and keeper. Probably would've opened if Lanning was playing, although the emergence of Litchfield means she doesn't have to.

 

[Himannv]

Lots of flight from Ecclestone. I think pace is better against Perry though, she seemed to be struggling against it earlier.

 

[_Ed_]

Ecclestone is looking threatening in this post-lunch spell.

 

[Molehill]

Rubbish from Bell. Even though she's a local girl to me, I struggle to see how she got picked ahead of Wong.

This is starting to look pretty worrying for England.

 

[_Ed_]

One-way traffic at the moment - 61-0 from the last 10 overs.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Certainly been going at a decent clip this session have Australia

 

[_Ed_]

Perry's surpassed her ludicrous test average again.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Phenomenal cricketer

 

[Molehill]

Not really the kind of day this series needed so far, can see many switching off from it quite quickly.

 

[_Ed_]

Breakthrough for England! Stating the obvious, but that was desperately needed.

 

[_Ed_]

Jonassen coming in ahead of Healy and Gardner surprises me a bit.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Jonassen coming in ahead of Healy and Gardner surprises me a bit.

It does surprise me a little too, seems like the logic is wanting a bit more of an conventional style bat at 5 as opposed to Healy and especially Gardner taking a more aggressive approach

She does have a Test 99 tbf

 

[G. S. Kohli]

now Aus w Grind English w back to back week

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Perry's surpassed her ludicrous test average again.

Why she not remove her Helmet even vs Spinner

 

[Yeoman]

Force of habit probably. At least in England, and probably beyond, young cricketers have for some time been required to wear helmets.
