*Official* Women's Ashes 2023

[_Ed_]

Quality ton.

 

[Molehill]

Makes sense since it's a five day game tbf. If it were still four days then yeah they would probably want to be slogging by now.

Doing nothing for the welfare of cricket though!!

Of course they are not. Would be ridiculous if they were even thinking about it.

 

[Gremlin]

That is outstanding. Well played Sutherland. Sublime batting.

Aus are exceptionally good at this aren't they? 11 All rounders in a side!

 

[_Ed_]

Would like to see Filer pick up another wicket. 2-90 doesn't really do justice to how well she's bowled.

Women’s cricket is a lot more advanced in Australia than other countries and it will be a while before they catch up

 

[Pothas]

No doubt. Expect England will score plenty of runs on this though.

 

[_Ed_]

Looks like Sutherland has broken the record for highest score at #8 in women's tests.

Looks pretty flat so could still be a draw, but Sutherland has probably batted England out of the game. Pretty morale-sapping stuff to knock over Jonassen, Healy, Perry in such quick succession only to run into this ridiculously strong tail.

Presumably Sutherland will bat in the top six as the old-guard moves on.

I don't think this team even has a "tail". It's just a top order, a middle order and a lower order. I guess Darcie Brown is a good old fashioned #11 but I've honestly never seen her bat.

 

[TimAngas]

To be honest I didn't really know Alana King could bat.

 

[Pothas]

Have really seen enough Australian 9th wicket partnerships for one week now.

 

[social]

Gardner is the highest paid female cricketer in the world and is mainly known for her batting

She’s at 7 without Lanning

Pretty much sums it up

 

[Lefty]

473 by the Aussie girls, the Pommy girls will need to bat well or this game will not even be close.

 

[kevinw]

Not sure why TB fell out of favour in the shorter forms but she's a lovely batter.

 

[ripper868]

so, twice Australia don't review, and both times they were out...when you NEED a wicket, take the review gamble...

 

[Spark]

Aus bowling does look a bit thin tbh - not a huge amount of experience up front and McGrath not bowling feels weird.

EDIT: Wow did they need that.

 

[Ashes81]

Good fightback this from England after Australia's monster score.

Still a long way behind but its vital we get near their score as this is a must not lose match.

 

[loterry1994]

are these tests still 4 days for women? Would suck if it is

5 day match
