*Official* Women's Ashes 2025

It's almost gone unnoticed that this is starting in less than 48 hours. Australia must start as massive favourites, but are they as strong as they used to be? In batting, almost certainly, but not sure they have such a strong pace attack these days. England have fitness issues over Cross who seems unlikely to play in the opening ODI.

It should be high quality and competitive, but hard to see England winning on foreign soil.

Timings of matches not great for viewing in England, surprised they couldn't make the ODI's D/N games, but I guess that would clash with the BBL Circus.

Regarding the Australian pace attack, I wonder how long it'll be before they pick Chloe Ainsworth. She seems to be an exceptional young talent.
