Is that Nathan Smith in the crowd on the left of Katie Martin?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Are Bates and Devine retiring after this match?

 

[Himannv]

Convincing win in the end - well played New Zealand!

Back to the drawing board for England I think.

Shocking performances in tournament.surely Beaumont is better than some of the batters..wyatt never performs but keeps getting picked.Sciver very poor captain and her bowling has gone to pot.We do miss Knight .Some of the youngsters learning of their deficiencies in a hard lesson.

I've not checked her form but Beaumont has been one of the world's best batters for a period so I'm amazed she's been cut when they gave someone like Winfield Hill loads of rope. Wyatt is surely less reliable and I assume there aren't many decent keepers out there since Jones doesn't score that often for someone batting in the top five.

yesss

battled to stay awake tbh (been up since 3 and watched the sport through to end of the wallabies) but bronze is good reward for a young side, and a great way to send bates and devine off if the retirement murmurs are true.

Congrats on continuing to punch above your weight, kiwis.


But seriously, a good win. I thought Aus and Eng were locks for medals and even though the White Ferns have been quality, this is still a bit of an upset in my book. So well done to them.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yeah I wasn't expecting a medal here so it's been a good tournament for us.

A miserable tournament for Healy this.

 

[Himannv]

Really unexpected run of form from Healy. I expected her to at least turn up for the finals.

 

[Himannv]

Big over that. Australia running away with it now.

 

[Himannv]

Run out! Just what India needed. Not sure who comes in next since McGrath has Covid. Perhaps she bats anyway or they send in Haynes.

 

[Himannv]

McGrath it is.

 

[Himannv]

Bit unusual that McGrath was allowed to play, but she's out now anyway.

 

[Himannv]

Massive wicket there. Getting Gardner out before the last few overs is a big plus. Some pressure on Grace Harris to come in and partner Mooney in the death overs.

 

[Himannv]

I totally forgot that Australia still have Haynes to come in.

 

[anil1405]

What a stunner from Deepti.

 

[Himannv]

Haynes is key to Australia posting a winning total now. They've stuttered a bit in the end.

 

[srbhkshk]

Me thinks this is already a bit too much for us to handle unless Smriti gets going.

 

[MW1304]

Been a bunch of direct hits. Great fielding performance, but still a hefty chase.

 

[anil1405]

At one point 180 looked inevitable.
