Darcie Brown really is very good indeed

 

[_Ed_]

That ended up a little bit closer than I expected.

 

[Spark]

not going to go the distance, this one

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, this is poor from England. Disappointing after such a great test and a pretty competitive first ODI.

 

[_Ed_]

That was going down leg, surely. Shame they don't have any reviews left.

 

[_Ed_]

England's bowlers have done a decent job. This could have been interesting with 40-50 more runs on the board.

1st women's T20 NZ v India on TVNZ (free to air) on Wednesday when Kiwis are at work/school. Why not play it today when it is a holiday so we can actually watch??

 

[_Ed_]

Watching today's game in about a two-hour delay (so no spoilers, please). Really encouraging start from Devine and Bates - hopefully a sign of good things to come from them over the next few weeks.

 

[_Ed_]

IMO Maddy Green is just about the most naturally gifted batter in the White Ferns, but she has an amazing ability to do something stupid and get herself out - thus the dismal stats.

EDIT: Right on cue.

 

[_Ed_]

Good win for the Ferns in the end - onwards and upwards from here, hopefully.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good to see them get a win. Need to keep building.

The men's team were written off and in horrendous form heading into the 92 tournament and then were the best side in it, so would be nice if the women can do well.

 

[_Ed_]

Can't watch today's game, but got a very pleasant surprise when I just checked the score. Great to see Bates score a ton.

 

[ataraxia]

It's funny how literally everyone in this side bats top 7 and often top 6 domestically, and everyone except the keeper are bowlers. It makes selection bloody annoying though.

 

[_Ed_]

Oof, disappointing collapse in the last few overs.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Should've got to 300 after that start, but great they got that start.

 

[anil1405]

Yeah 300 looked an absolute certainty at the 35 over mark. India will be happy to restrict them to 275. Hope they make a contest out of it.

 

[anil1405]

Looked good while Yastika and Mithali were at crease but now it's done.

 

[anil1405]

The dangerous Devine gone. Game even now.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh no, and Satterthwaite first ball.

Kerr and Green need to do a lot of work now.

Nice to see the Indian Women take inspiration from the Pant/Saha and Pant/Bharat swaps by the Men's side in Tests. Let Ghosh score a fifty then have Bhatia take the gloves in the fielding innings. Smart play
