Sad to see Shrubsole retire from internationals. One of the greats. I loved the late swing she generated.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Judging by the World Cup it was probably the right time to go mind. Good that she had one last trick in the bag.

 

[Flem274*]

yeah good on her for a good career.

also random comment we need a colouful world XI vs australia super test for the women. i will happily watch australia's crushing victory.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, a good time to end it I think. The delivery to get rid of Lee was a beauty.

SLW are touring Pakistan at the end of May apparently. I strangely know more about the Pakistan team than the Sri Lankan one.

Strange scorecard for Zimbabwe against Namibia today. They scored 156-0 batting first, and 30 of them were extras.

Some weird scores all round this series, Namibia defended 68 in an earlier match.

all these games are being live streamed too no? CricTracker or Womens CricZone or some YouTube page like that. Seen a few screenshots.

Speaking of live streamed women's cricket:

From 1st to 15th May, six teams comprising of cricketers from 35 countries will compete in the SDG FairBreak Invitational T20 2022 in Dubai, the first ever privately-funded women’s cricket event! The event is co-organized by Cricket Hong Kong, and was originally scheduled to be held in Hong Kong, but has since been moved to the Dubai International Stadium in the UAE. The list of key players taking part includes the captains of New Zealand and the West Indies, Sophie Devine and Stafanie Taylor, Marizanne Kapp, Laura Wolvaardt, Shabnim Ismail, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana and Rumana Ahmed – all of whom took part in the recently concluded Women’s World Cup! The tournament also features players from Associate nations, including 12 players from Hong Kong, who will play alongside the full member representatives in the six teams.

Hype

 

[cnerd123]

HK off to a poor start. Sigh.

Also the broadcast and Cricinfo have listed Emma Lai as opener but it's Mariko Hill batting. Commentators don't have a clue either.

 

[cnerd123]

HK 0-1 down, need a win tonight. Alison Siu replaces Iqra Sahar.

They're a good team just need more players to put their hands up and perform to potential. Hopefully we see more from them tonight.

Great quality coverage. Pre-game analysis, pitch report, toss, 5 cameras, replays, very nice on screen graphics, and fairly educated commentators (even tho they don't know what any of the players look like and mixed up Mariko Hill and Emma Lai through the first few overs in the first game)

 

[cnerd123]

quality start by Kary and Betty with the new ball.

Still some rustiness in the field, but at least they're playing.

 

[cnerd123]

oh dear that's a terrible drop. First time under floodlights for many of the girls.

First boundary of the innings follows the drop! Oh no

 

[cnerd123]

floodgates have opened since that drop. Bowling has gotten sloppier. It's just 42/0 in 10 overs but HK are the team looking under pressure. We need a strategic time out.

 

[cnerd123]

Marina gets the breakthrough! Kavisha -50* last night- has finally been dismissed!

Plenty of hitting to come for UAE tho.

 

[cnerd123]

Another drop and the overthrow on the same ball! Third of the night, Esha Oza has benefitted off at least two of those.

Big no ball by Alison to follow, oh dear. Free hit for 4, Esha finding her range. Getting ominous now.

 

[cnerd123]

yea okay the plot's officially lost. Great recovery by UAE, superb knock by Esha Oza. HK will need to chase well over 120. UAE were 22/0 in 8 overs!

 

[cnerd123]

Finally a wicket. Loose shot by Esha.

22/0 in 8 overs to 105/2 in 16.4. 83/2 in those 8.4 overs. HK's fielding and bowling hasn't been the best, they're better than this.

Need to end really strong and then bat well. Najeeb Amar predicting a 4-0 win for UAE; he's a big loss for HK cricket.

 

[cnerd123]

excellent catch by Maryam. Much harder than the one she dropped off her own bowling.

132 to chase. 109 runs in the back 12 overs. Yikes. Catches win matches...
