So for this game Mankading was still listed in the laws under "Unfair play". Naughty girls. Six month ban for perpetrator and captain I think would be appropriate.

So...... Dean and Jones?

The mankad is listed under unfair play because backing up before the ball is bowled is considered to be unfair. So by all means, give Charlie Dean and Amy Jones a ban.

I have to admit that even in these days of equality and political correctness I'm still very shallow. Grubby dismissal or not, the Indian captain is hot (a little poetry thrown in as well).

Much better from NZ today. We're still hitting a few speed bumps along the way, but I'm feeling reasonably optimistic about the direction we're heading.

Seems like Carson is doing well in her first few games, judging by only the scorecards.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, must say that's a bit of a pleasant surprise for me. I thought her bowling looked pretty decent in domestics, but maybe a bit below the Kasperek/Peterson level that we had in the NZ team before her. She's stepped up really well.

Low-scoring series this, but another good win today to celebrate Melie Kerr's 50th T20I (and 50th wicket).

Already ten hundreds by nine different players in the Australian WNCL. By comparison in the similar English competition there were seven all year, and two of them hit by a Scotland player.

Super Over win today.

Bewildering game, that.

 

[SteveNZ]

That is one of the most insane stats I've ever seen, that Sophie Devine one. What a gun

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Seems like Carson is doing well in her first few games, judging by only the scorecards.

Also great to see Maddy Green stepping up the bat and Fran Jonas had a great series.

 

[_Ed_]

Always really enjoy the WBBL, but it's a shame it clashes so much with the men's T20 World Cup (not to mention the women's Rugby World Cup too). There's no way I'm gonna have enough time to watch as much as I'd like.

 

[cnerd123]

the women's IPL being only 5 teams and 22 games is a ****ing joke

even the FairBreak Invitational has 6 teams!

 

[_Ed_]

Outstanding all-round game for Perry.

 

[_Ed_]

Ooh, could be a late twist here.

EDIT: Or not. But that was a great game to kick off the tournament.

 

[Spikey]

wait someone finally bopped one over long-on to win the game

 

[_Ed_]

I don't know much about Ellie Johnston, but **** she can hit a long ball.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That has to be about the worst bit of third umpiring I have ever seen
