McGrath has had some impact since she made her debut. Looks like a player for the long run.

 

[Burgey]

Indian skipper missed a trick not bowling her spinners for a couple more overs there. Always easy in hindsight though.

The field placements today were a bit weird too.

16 overs into the game this was set for an easy Aus win but decent comeback from India to make a contest out of it.

I'm honestly amazed that Lanning dismissal doesn't happen more often.

 

[Spikey]

just goes to show you should only ever charge at a spinner

 

[Burgey]

Really doesn’t look like any of these WBBL games today in Launceston will be completed. Hosing down.

This years WBBL hasn't really caught fire yet.

This years WBBL hasn't really caught fire yet.

What do you mean by caught fire? Viewership is MASSIVELY up this season and the quality of play has been fairly decent with some great batting and bowling.

Some clutch performances got Bangladesh over the line:

 

[Burgey]

This is a low game between the Thunder and Sixers.

****, what a catch by Lauren Smith.

And a couple of superb innings by Indian internationals.

 

[_Ed_]

Bloody hell, 79 to 101 in five balls.

EDIT: Amazing innings, 114* (64), but came up just short in the chase.

Now I know the losing side rarely gets " Player of the Match", but I'm not sure how Elyse Villani didn't get it in their match which they lost to the Scorchers off the last ball 6-123(20)
84(66) 9x4, 2x6 out of a total of 7-122, next best score off the bat 9.

Heather Graham won it with 4-0-16-3 plus 13(22) with the bat.

There wouldn't have been a game if Villani hadn't done what she did.

 

[_Ed_]

Villani's in monstrous form. A casual 94* (63) at the moment, making a tricky chase of 176 look easy.

Only one run needed to win now - wonder if she can finish it with a six.

EDIT: Yes!

 

[Spark]

I genuinely cannot remember seeing someone bowl right arm to one batter and left arm to another before

 

[honestbharani]

A guy in Indian domestics has been doing it and going pretty well for a few years now. He did well in this year's SMAT too, including a spell of 4 overs for no runs and 2 wickets, admittedly against one of the minnow sides.

HK going well vs Nepal atm. Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers live streaming on icc.tv

 

[cnerd123]

c'mon girls just land it straight. What's with all these wides.

 

[cnerd123]

27 runs in extras with 3 drops, 2 missed stumpings and a runout. 105 to win, but would have been so much less if we had done the basics right. Sigh. Missed chance there.

Should still chase this with the batting quality we have.
