*Official* Women's Ashes 2023

Surprising how long it's taken for McGrath to come into the attack.

Aussies missed a trick by not getting McGrath involved more.

Indeed

 

[Spark]

Ah, no carrying the bat. Still, incredible achievement.

 

[Spark]

Not a Test to remember for bowlers so far.

Not a Test to remember for bowlers so far.

Tahlia McGrath averaging 8 runs per wicket disagrees with you.

 

[_Ed_]

Phenomenal innings by Beaumont. This has been a great contest so far. Day four is going to be fascinating.

Not a Test to remember for bowlers so far.

Today & tomorrow might help for both Seam & Spin

Flavell scored the first double century in women's Test cricket in 1996

over the next eight years six more double centuries were scored, by

Joanne Broadbent (Australia, 1998)
Michelle Goszko (Australia, 2001)
Karen Rolton (Australia, 2001)
Mithali Raj (India, 2002)
Kiran Baluch (Pakistan, 2004)

No DBL century 2005-2022 now
*Beaumont (england 2023)

Tahlia McGrath averaging 8 runs per wicket disagrees with you.

Yeah, her taking 60 overs to get a bowl really illustrates one of the risks of having so many bowling options.

 

[_Ed_]

Still can't get over how well Beaumont played. It's especially impressive since it's seemed like they've been trying to gently encourage her towards retirement over the last year or so.

Women’s cricket is different in that way as everyone seems to be able to bowl a bit & it’s not uncommon to see 8 bowlers used in an odi

 

[Shady Slim]

awesome game this and we're beyond the point where stuff like this is seen as "great advertisement for the women's game", because it is its own game and it stands tall

G. S. Kohli with questions to answer about how many of his other stats are wrong

 

[_Ed_]

It'll be interesting to see how Australia approach this session.

 

[_Ed_]

I guess that makes up for the catch that Cross dropped a couple of overs ago.

 

[_Ed_]

Filer makes an immediate impact again!

Edit: Twice. Some spell, this.

 

[Himannv]

Jonassen has played this Test like a batting allrounder. I find it strange that she comes in ahead of Healy.

(now she'll score a massive hundred to prove me wrong).

 

[_Ed_]

This has changed dramatically in the last half-hour or so. Amazing stuff from England.

But this pitch is obviously getting harder to bat on, so it's going to be a tough chase.

[mustardcharlie]

Yes. Ebcellent knock from Tammy

Agree with that. Have seen many test matches but this will stand in the memory. Whether England win or not. This is a cracking game of cricket

 

[honestbharani]

Should be a fun chase.
