EnglandvIndia Women Cricket on 16 Jun

[anil1405]

I just wanna see Sehwag-esque fireworks from Shefali.

And why are we gambhiring the women here? Its pretty much a given that England and Australia have an advantage in the longest format in the women's game, right? Mainly coz of BCCI neglecting women's tests but their boards have been better.

Wouldn't blame BCCI alone here. A grand total of 8 tests were played in women's cricket in the last decade.

Keeping tests in cold storage is a good idea. If the goal is to make women's cricket commercially viable then T20 is the way to go.

Why not both? It's not like Women play too much cricket like men do. Besides lots of women cricketers have expressed their desire to play test cricket.

Sneh Rana bowled well looks like. Good selection by Powar here & also selectors as she had performed well in domestics.
Poonam Yadav has fallen away a bit & is a slower through the air leggie which doesn't works in Test cricket that much these days.

 

[Noumenon]

Jhulan with the best name for a swing bowler. Literally Swing Goswami lol

 

[anil1405]

Great session for England. Pretty good batting from Dunkley and the lower order.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea just tuned in, seems like a gun recovery. 400 on the cards.

 

[anil1405]

The intent is clear post lunch. Go all guns blazing.

 

[Noumenon]

Restrained from Shafali so far.

 

[Noumenon]

Come on the Shafali. Get that 50 and restart.

 

[anil1405]

50 for both openers now. Yes, the pitch is pretty easy to bat on but didn't expect this start from India.

 

[Noumenon]

 

[anil1405]

All the hard work to give it away like this.

 

[honestbharani]

Shefali Hopefully many more 100s to come. That was such a milestone shot when the field was set like that.


But such a character. Makes the game so watchable.

 

[anil1405]

What a pathetic lollapse. 187/6 now and soon to be 200 all out.

 

[honestbharani]

And we were 167/0 at one stage.

Our women's team's tailender issues have been around forever. It needs a cultural change to be fixed.

 

[grecian]

Verma deffo could be a thing, certainly better than watching Sweden.

Solid peach to bowl India out, hopefully there's some play possible tomorrow and weather from So'ton doesn't drift NW

 

[Magrat Garlick]

India batting well to save the draw, by the sounds of it

bring on Dunkley to make sth happen

 

[honestbharani]

Shefali I dunno how many tests the girls will get. I hope to God we play at least 1 test every tour, which would give us a minimum of 6 tests a year maybe.
