***Official*** Women's Cricket Australian Summer 2020/21

[Spark]

Not sure the short and wide tactic is a wise one

 

[stephen]

Glimmer of hope for NZ with that wicket.

 

[ataraxia]

well, well, well...

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Damn, two in two balls. Australia in a bit of strife here

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Not entitely convinced Molineux ahead of Gardner was the wisest move

 

[stephen]

Great response from Lanning.

 

[Spark]

Did they forget to signal? Bit confusing.

 

[stephen]

Kerr's been bowling beautifully but since the 2 in 2 she's dragged a couple short.

 

[Spark]

Not a bad shot to start your ODI career

 

[GoodAreasShane]

El Presidente's daughter does seem to be pretty good under pressure, scored clutch runs on T20I dayboo iirc

 

[Spark]

the expression on Nicola Carey's face when she hit that for four

 

[Spark]

She really is a terrifyingly dominant batsman in this format though. Not actually the most consistent, but on another level once set.

That whole over was just gold


Also, someone needs to bump the Brad Hodge thread for some of his commentary there

Meg lanning is just too good, especially vs new Zealand.

Lanning has 14 odi tons in 82 games, next best in the women's game is 10 in 119 games. Don't know an absolute ton about the women's odi game but lanning has to be bordering on GOAT territory right?

 

[stephen]

Lanning is a beast, but so is Kerr! Great watching today.

Like I said before she actually isn't that consistent compared to other great bats in the women's game and isn't as technically watertight as, say, Perry, which means you can nick her off early before she's set. But you better do that because once she is, I can't think of a more dominant or looks-a-class-above-everyone-else bat in the world in my time following women's cricket (admittedly fairly brief).

 

[Nintendo]

Kerr should have 5 right now, plumb lbw on mooney turned down and a dropped catch off gardener in that last over.

 

[stephen]

Huge total for AB Field regardless of gender.

 

[Spark]

Pretty scary that this was done with no Lanning and no Perry.
