*Official* Women's World Cup 2022

[HeathDavisSpeed]

How Cricinfo deal with women's cricket stats annoys me. They only show stats from international games. I think they need to start including numbers from outside of that from particular domestic tournaments. Yes, the quality is likely to be variable, but to not recognise any of these games as anything other than "Other T20/OD" means you can't get an at-a-glance idea about a new international's domestic background that's brought them to selectorial attention.

Lanning with a spectacular grab at slip to remove Dottin. What a grab

Oof just opened up live scoring. Aus OP. Taylor still there though, and her record is world class.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Another big win coming up for Australia. Will be bad for WI's NRR after the big loss to India.

Aus womens team is a deadset machine. Production line of champion players

Wow, Healy and Lanning both gone cheaply. The depth of this batting line-up means it probably won't matter, but it still adds a bit of interest to this chase.

There’s just no weak link is there. Most of the other teams have a few stars with decent players around them. Australia have about 15 players all of that star quality and their one or two standouts are really legends of the women’s game.

Even at 3 down, AUS look like they have loads of batting left.

This tournament so far is a fantastic advertisement for women's cricket in which all the established nations play great, exciting cricket games to fight for the right to get absolutely demolished by Aus at some point.

**** I hope Aus go through unbeaten. They're only ever gonna lose one game this tournament, if any, so I know which one I want it to be.

We do not, under any circumstances, need them dropping a game and coming out determined and angry.

I remember telling myself the same things in the 2003 and 2007 men's WCs.

Yeah very real vibes of the 03 and 07 WCs here. They are a level above, easily.

NZ beating them in the warm up match might have already done that, of course.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, that crossed my mind too. An exhilarating scorecard to read at the time, but it might have done our chances in the actual tournament more harm than good.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Wasn't that warmup match 14 a side or something?

 

[anil1405]

England are back in the tournament ladies and gentlemen. India are on their way to a meek surrender.

 

[_Ed_]

This is a dreadful collapse.

 

[Himannv]

Just tuned in. Impressive from England!

 

[_Ed_]

If England bowl and field as well as this against NZ (along with the added confidence of a likely win here), I don't love our chances of beating them.

 

[_Ed_]

Amazing catch.

 

[_Ed_]

Ooh, 4-2!
