2023–24 Australian women's summer

[SillyCowCorner1]

Seven-time World Champion and a Commonwealth Games gold medalist...possibly the greatest cricketer in modern times.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, and just an absolutely natural leader - one of the better captains I've seen, male or female.

 

[Molehill]

One of those unusual instances of a thoroughly likeable Aussie Cricketer. A brilliant leader, the impact of her loss very evident in the Ashes. And a chaser to match the exploits of Kohli. She played in 56 ODI's when Australia batted 2nd, they won 50 of those with her averaging 76!!

Hope she gets everything sorted and is happy.

Devine stealing a bit of Lanning's thunder for the day with a 60-ball century.

Fair play Meg Lanning had a hell of a career. Took the game to new levels, one of the all time greats in a fantastic team and a top leader.

 

[_Ed_]

Wahey! Suzie Bates had a bit of a cruel demotion down the order tonight, but she kinda did okay!

Onya, Suzie.

 

[Himannv]

Sad to hear Lanning retired. I thought she may have had a year or two more in her.

Why are the Stars persisting with Dunkley? Averaging 9.5 so far this season

Congratulations @meglanning7 on such an enormous career. You really have inspired so many Aussie Women to play the greatest game of all. What a true champion of our game. Humble yet ambitious, silent...

The confused reacc would be apt.

"Silent but deadly" was what I was getting at, but I was a few beers deep by that point of the evening tbf.

Sensational performance by Mooney today.

No no, confused at Hayden not you. Although silent-but-deadly isn't exclusive to farts.

 

[Pup Clarke]

The audacity from Hayden to think that Meg Lanning actually farts

 

[_Ed_]

Amazing batting by Lizelle Lee tonight - not many better when she's in that sort of mood.

Hurricanes playing some great cricket at the end of the tournament.
We need Heat to lose tomorrow and then beat Adelaide in our last match to qualify for the finals.

 

[Molehill]

I've not been watching at all due to timings and another comp somewhat clashing with it, does anyone know what happened to Lauren Bell? Played the first couple of games and not been seen since.

She left last week to join an England training camp in Oman.
She wasn't a regular player for whatever reason.

Not sure why you'd sign up one of the world's best seamers and then not play her.

At the ground in time for the 2nd game

Was already in town for the Adelaide 500, so I pretty much figured why the hell not
