So is this a one day series then?
I wouldn't expect chicks to be physically able to do any more than that.

Because of some rather idiotic scheduling, there's three ODIs in between the Tests. Don't ask why.Samuel_Vimes said:

And another absolutely pathetic, spineless collapse from England. No wonder they get such pitiful attendances generally.

A few things for you guys to read.
In england there is a team called west of england under 15's and that is selected from 100's and hundreds off normally boys. It has just been named this year and a 13 year old girl has been included in it as opening bowler.. Write up in the paper the other day saying she is the fastest bowler of that age (boy or girl) in the west of england.
Birch??? If you setting up a club I dont think she will be in the squad for that much longer. She is only a very average player. Certainly no secure position. I play with or against these girls so I know

Very well thank you. In England now playing a county season here and loving it. Not long till heading back for my New Zealand season. Great to see this place is still going strong. Disappointing to see that womens cricket is still not respected by some people. But for those who do thanks heaps and try and get down to see an ODI or test if they in your area. I'm sure you wont be disappointed. Good days entertainment for 5 quid

Why just the poster?PY said:Good to hear things are progressing.
Ignore Shane Warne (poster), he was a pleb.
Interesting to hear about that 13-yo girl - maybe she'll break Colvin's record of youngest Test player soon!

Blasphemy, she is awesome, you don't average 25.77 with the bat and 16.66 with the ball by being a average player. Here test record is not that great but she has only played 4 Tests.Tamara said:
Whatever you say then. But if she is so awesome why isn't she playing the ODI's? She is a fring player. She will get a few games but not like the connors/Taylors/ Edwards etc who have secured places. I have faced her bowling and seen her bat and you wouldn't know any different to any other good club player

I read an article the other day that it's poor marketing which is hurting the women's game so much. For example, when this girl was on the front page of The Times after making her debut loads of reporters went down there to get an interview but the big article from The Times was left to get quotes from her mum (I think) and her coach because she wasn't allowed to talk to the media.Tamara said:
What an opportunity wasted..

No doubt she is not in the league of those above listed players. But for the selectors to drop someone that averages just under 17 with the ball and can bat a bit is kind of stupid. If you say that she is crap, cus when you faced here she might have been bowling that well then ok. But i remember bowling to Matthew Phelps, a NSW player, and he didn't look much better then your average grade cricketers. That doesn't mean he isn't good enough to play 1st Grade or First Class cricket.Tamara said:
I heard that Holly didn't want to talk to them for the reason that any 15 year old would. They dont know how to deal with media pressure etc. Her mum also said no after media started asking for baby photos etc. This girl is just a school girl and wants to be able to live a school girls life. She could have a huge future but at the same time if not dealt with properly it could ruin everything
