Good effort by the ladies with the bat . Scoring 299/6 from 48 without Wolfie.

Take away from the tour fielding and fitness need mayor work. We also need to find a penetrative bowler.

I want to see more of Smit and shangase. Meso also needs more opportunities but please don't bat the 17 year old at 4. The senior players should take responsibility.

I am happy to see Dercksen making good progress after a good first year in international cricket.

He has been using Ashwell Prince & Neil McKenzie I think so wouldn't be surprised if they or at least one of them would be on the panel.
I don't think its a panel. The England setup has the convener, coach, director of cricket and captain.
Ashwell or Neil would be a good convener.

I do wonder where this leaves the Klaassen situation. They had a falling out over the test team.

Hattrick by Chloe Tryon :-O :-O :clap:

Well done ladies on the consolation win. Nice to see other batters making runs especially when being in the poo
Batting has been good this series. Dercksen has really stepped up and Chloe has returned to form. Luus days are numbered I think.

Bowling and fielding outside today still a big worry. Kapp will make a difference not sure how much.
