2023–24 NZ women's summer

[_Ed_]

And now Jones is smashing us again.

I reckon they've got about 30 too many (especially with Bernadine B injured).

Not looking good in this chase. I hope Maddy Green can at least bat through now after using up 22 balls for her 3*.

EDIT: She did not.

I'm starting to understand why the selectors have put so much faith in Gaze.

Still needs to work on her keeping, though.

 

[_Ed_]

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

 

[_Ed_]

Really good effort with the ball so far today.

So much of a difference between Sophie Devine and the quality of the next best batsman, she really does make a huge difference when in the team. Really going to need her and Bates to keep going into their 50s if we can't produce some decent batting options soon.

Well, at least the home summer finished on a positive.

From my estimation, that means the WFs are roughly one win away from pretty safely qualifying for the WC next year. 1/6, sounds eminently doable in theory, a kind of tough ask in practice.

 

[RMBolton]

So, Bernie has retired internationally. Can we have McFadyen now?

Instead, this is probably cementing Gaze. Boy, WFs HQ is so frustrating. I'm sure I could do a better job of selection.

 

[_Ed_]

Obviously Bernie overcame a hell of a lot to make it back into the Ferns after her experience with RED-S, so she deserves a ton of credit for that. But I can't help feeling that she didn't quite deliver on her potential.

 

[RMBolton]

Just under 55 hours until first ball of the England tour & we still don't know how we can watch it. I remember it was similar when the last England deal was announced, but this is ridiculous.

 

[RMBolton]

ICC.TV? Are you for real?

FFS. None of the broadcasters could pick it up? Not even you, Sky? Embarrassing. How does it even work? (You can tell I've never used it)

That's just shameful.

 

[_Ed_]

Plimmer's making a decent fist of this opportunity at the top of the order.

Edit: Whoops.
