A 5-match series drawn 1-1 (in reality both lost to the Rain 3-1-1). What a joke.

Nice to see Bates join the 4000 Club. Been a bit sad watching her as of late.

Those boundaries in the WBBL are ****ing ridiculously tiny!
makes no sense, little if you prefer, they'll be the same distance for both sides so essentially they are saying boundaries are the be all and end all of entertainment and/or good cricket

hitting the ball to the boundary isn't necessarily a feat of strength as much as timing

I always did laugh at the commentary "that was four as soon as he hit it" which would suggest the batting crease and boundary were almost touching!

It was just an observation, I made a thread pointing this out during the Women’s 16.4

If it tilts it towards the batter & that is what the organizers want, then it tells a lot about the direction in which the want to go…

the comments under Athapaththu’s instagram post for winning pott are disgusting
So many betters are pissed by it, hope they lost plenty of $$$$$$$

They really are sad people with a miserable life to go to her instagram and post there.
You should go to any tennis players insta after they have lost, that's even worse.

Whatever it takes!!!

Good close A series in India against England A.

Think our girls can be proud of the fight they showed. Good coverage on TV as well. Maybe the new deal with Jio does help. I could see sponsorship, ads etc. during the breaks for an women's A series. Hopefully good signs for the girls playing cricket in India and maybe even around the world.

This series completely passed me by. From an England perspective, great to see Kemp bowling again. Fair to say every match was really tight and I'm sure both teams will benefit considerably.

India v England kicks off today with the first of 3 T20's followed by a one off Test. Ecclestone returns from shoulder surgery for England

India win toss and bowl. England's seamers are aged 17, 18 and 22!!

Considering they were 2-2 in the first over, a strong comeback from England mainly thanks to Wyatt, NSB and a late blitz from Jones.

197-6 will take some beating.....

Huh, no bids for Chamari in the WPL auction. Can't understand that.

AJ Wellington and Alana King unsold too. Did these teams not watch the WBBL?

Much in the same way overseas spinners don't get bought in the men's IPL?
