*Official* Women's Ashes 2023

[Ashes81]

I think Jones assumed she was going to be stumped so slightly hesitated before trying to make her ground.

Then when she slid her bat in, it slightly caught in the ground. Even so she very nearly made her ground.

It was pretty poor all round from Jones.

Eccleston and Wyatt need to take us more or less to the target, and that's a massive ask.

 

[Burgey]

Gardner has been amazing this dig

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

No, it’s good to hear what she is saying. I have not heard her swear so far, so there is no problem.

No problem with hearing her saying the same inane comments you hear on every cricket field in the world - but it's too loud, at least on the feed here. At some points she was louder than the comms.

 

[_Ed_]

Wyatt has batted really well in both innings of this game - fair effort on dayboo.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You don't really get more plumb than that, really.

 

[_Ed_]

It's a big mountain for Wyatt to climb pretty much single-handedly now.

 

[_Ed_]

Gardner has matched Ecclestone's 10 for the match now - might be edging ahead for POTM honours.

 

[Molehill]

Gardner has matched Ecclestone's 10 for the match now - might be edging ahead for POTM honours.

She probably does win it, but in the context of the entire match, I feel like Sutherland's ton was the key to changing the course.

 

[_Ed_]

Seven!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Absolute weapon.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You don't really get more plumb than that, really.

I suppose you do.

 

[_Ed_]

Outstanding.

 

[Lefty]

Eight for Ash. Best all time figures for Australia! Wow.

It was not even close. England outplayed in the end.

 

[social]

Gardner’s bowling has improved massively in a very short period of time

 

[Burgey]

Another thumping handed out by Australia to England this northern summer. Really looking like both the men’s and women’s teams will go through their tours undefeated.

 

[ashley bach]

If anyone couldn't understand why she's the highest paid women's cricketer, that should clear things up.

 

[Burgey]

Eight for Ash. Best all time figures for Australia! Wow.

It was not even close. England outplayed in the end.

If only they hadn’t declared on day one, thrown away all their wickets and their keeper had held her catches; I’m sure they would have won

 

[CartyDurham]

Well played Australia. Deserved winners

well played Beaumont on her double hundred

 

[CartyDurham]

If only they hadn’t declared on day one, thrown away all their wickets and their keeper had held her catches; I’m sure they would have won

Silly sausage. They would have though

 

[Ashes81]

Another could have, would have, should have performance from England.

The game was there for the taking at 55-0 bit a combination of some excellent bowling, poor batting but also some marginal LBWs have cost us.

There's not alot between the teams, the biggest difference is in the fielding.

A long way back from here.
