***Official*** Women's World Cup 2013

Surely if you were the Aussies you'd be doing a bit of a collapse here? Face Windies in the final instead of the winner of England/NZ?

 

[stumpski]

That must have occurred to them I'm sure, but given that they've never lost to the Windies before it would cause a good deal of suspicion, to say the least. As it is they're making hard work of it, 97-4 chasing 165. England batting first and making a steady start. Sarah Taylor has made three ducks so far! Might be a few nerves when she comes in.

 

[stumpski]

Australia 131-7 now!

 

[Bahnz]

I'm on tenterhooks over this. Will Australia be ruthless and throw the game? Or will they chicken out and wrap this one up?

 

[stumpski]

147-8 - anyone's game ...

Just switched over to watch 5 minutes of this. Comm says "Holly Ferling has been delighting the crowds with her effervescence"

Looked her up- yep, babe

 

[stumpski]

Pity she wasn't able to get her team home though - West Indies won by 8 runs.

No use England blaming the Aussies though, we should have beaten Sri Lanka.

Australia to smash West Indies in the final, naturally.

 

[Howe_zat]

Well that's probably the most suspicious loss I've ever seen, but really there's no getting away from England having an awful tournament.

 

[Bahnz]

Haha, yeah. 35 needed of the last ten with 6 wickets in hand. Also 3 run outs at the end.

Still, fair play to the girls for going through with the dive so brazenly.

 

[Dydl]

Well, I know our batting has been a tad inconsistent and prone to collapses this tournament, but such a drastic deterioration does raise some eyebrows. Should have won that game. An England vs Australia final would probably have been better viewing, no matter the result.

Hope Perry and Coyte are fit for the final. Mainly Pez, I've missed seeing her bowl. Few actions better to watch in the women's game. Admittedly harder to appreciate when standing at the other end trying not to get clean bowled, but it's great through a TV set.

West Indies to apparently rise up the ODI rankings from 5 to either 1 or 2 depending on the result on Sunday.

 

[Himannv]

I have to say, this Super Six thing has worked really well.

Sadly we're at the bottom of the table, but I credit our players for making it this far. Hopefully we can use this as a stepping stone and improve.

 

[Viscount Tom]

The umpiring in this tournament has been pretty dire.

 

[ajdude]

lanning for 200

 

[Burgey]

Oh poor Jess....

 

[Cevno]

Decent score by the Aussies at the End.

 

[ajdude]

don't cry ellyse you're too beautiful

 

[ajdude]

jesus ****ing christ that's a classy over

like especially after the start

 

[Cevno]

Good over. Slightly dodgy decision though.

She clearly isn't 100% either.

 

[Cabinet96]

Hero.

 

[Cevno]

And she picks up another!!!!

Big wicket of Taylor too.
