They definitely lost their marbles a bit in that last over. Needless overthrows, missing simple run outs, fielders not in the right positions etc. It's a shame because Jhulam put in a very good over apart from that colossal beamer, certainly good enough to defend 13.

7 off 44 balls in a t20. I thought that was interesting in itself, but it's almost a carried bat.

This is a shocker of a fielding performance here

India trucking along pretty nicely at the moment.

Squeaky bum time now with Mithali Raj throwing it away...

 

[Spark]

Both sides cracking here.

 

[Spark]

Man, what a two games that was

 

[Shady Slim]

goswami sealing it with a massive four a real ball don't lie moment reflecting on game two

 

[Burgey]

Unacceptable from australia.

Been a big few weeks for sport in Mackay though. Locals would be loving it

There are signs that the Indian women now are like the 70s and early 80s Indian men's side. Things should only get better from here.

The loss Australia needed actually.

Wins always paper over a few cracks, they shouldn't have won the previous match, not so lucky this time.
Injuries giving Australia a chance to play their mid tier players, good opportunities for them.

If India had lost that, they may have flown home. LOL

Unfortunate that redmayne didn't get a game with all the injuries. Was crazy good for QLD last season.

 

[Noumenon]

Amazing that AUS needed a bit of hometown umpiring to seal the series playing at home.

How many chips have you got on your shoulder? Dozens?

very keen for thursday's game

alyssa healy who's on the hot mic has noted that it's always difficult to adjust at the start of a test for the women because they don't play the format enough. it is the same problem as countries like zimbabwe and the new nations when they get the odd match - we need more women's tests (and those with those other countries)

While your point stands, it is technically tougher for India to adjust here (to foreign conditions) but they are off to a decent start as it stands.

It doesn't need much adjusting to hold on to your chances that come your way and Aus have dropped two catches in the last three overs I've watched.

don't disagree with your point generally however i should add (and this is my fault for not including it with the original post) that she was talking specifically finding the test length vs the length they bowl in the LOIs which is what they're used to

The fielding and catching by ALL Women's cricket teams is with the odd exception THE BIGGEST PROBLEM with the game, and it's the easiest to fix, practice, practice, practice.
It might be the least enjoyable part of cricket, but it's the most important one.

the solution here imho is the boring but correct one that being they need to be paid more, especially those on the fringes

if you are ellyse perry you're probably getting enough money to focus most of your time on cricket if not all but the girls on the fringes of the squad, who aren't in the top setup, they aren't getting paid enough to devote every day to that sort of practice - they have to use that time to do other work so they have food on the table still
