*Official* Women's Ashes 2023

Proper howler there. Standard of umpiring not improving

 

[mackembhoy]

I wasn't paying full attention I thought that was out.

Need to get this rate up. Going to fall too far behind.

Well played Nat

 

[Spark]

Alanah King is just so much fun

 

[Himannv]

Bad time to lose a wicket for England - these two were looking good for a big match winning partnership.

She'd got too bogged down since the power play.

But gonna really need Nat to bat through now.

 

[Aidan11]

Miles behind on the run rate. Need something from NSB now.

 

[Molehill]

Capsey should be opening, she’s a player who makes the most of the power play when fielders are up. Another consequence of the continued dismal Dunkley selection.

 

[mackembhoy]

Absolutely nothing shot by Capsey

 

[Himannv]

NSB is the best bat in the the women’s game I reckon. She can win this game but she needs someone to build a partnership with and the rate will not be an issue if she has support. Shots like the one Capsey played are not needed.

 

[kevinw]

Tame. It's like nobody wants to stay in to try the win the game.

 

[mackembhoy]

Start the car.

Rate is too much that last over just gave them too much to do.

Had to play daft shots to try and chase the rate.

 

[Molehill]

They didn’t need to play daft shots, just needed to rotate the strike. But the batting order is all wrong. Why did Knight come in at 3? Why isn’t either Wyatt or Capsey opening?

 

[kevinw]

80odd runs between overs 11-30. Just let the innings stagnate.

 

[Aidan11]

50 partnership off 50 balls.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Whatever happens from here it has been a very enjoyable series. 2 good sides.

 

[Aidan11]

Jones gone now. It was always going to be a tough ask for this pair to see it through. Into the tail now and it really is too much for us to do.

I can take the despair, it's the hope I can't stand.

 

[mackembhoy]

Was far too early to be taking risks like that.

Just handed the Aussies the game.

Not really sure why they didn't review that. Was just like the Nat one earlier that skidded past leg.

 

[kevinw]

60 off 50. If you had 5-6 wickets in the hutch you'd say this was a cakewalk.

 

[Himannv]

Glenn looks totally stressed out. NSB needs to get her calm down lol.
