There is a clear gaping divide between AUS/ENG and the rest I'm afraid.

Yeah. Two best teams made the final and that is usually the way it should be.

I don't think the women's game in SA, is in a particularly healthy state.
Other than Kapp and Laura, who else would be picked or even considered for a World XI?
And it doesn't seem like there is anything of significance coming through the pipeline, in so much as a like for like replacement for Kapp and Ismail who are both on the brink of retirement.
We've battled to replace retiring players, Lizelle Lee, Mignon and Chetty. Dane and Ismail were lured out of retirement and/or considered for selection but have failed to really fire at the tourney.
Dercksen has shown glimpses of brilliance but is incapable of any sort of consistency, whether it be with ball or bat.
Anneke Bosch same story.
I'm sure there are a number of promising young players, but with the exception of Kayla and Meso, we're yet to see them...
I'm also wondering if Mashimbyi hasn't reached his sell-by date?
Goodish coach but perhaps time for new ideas and new energy...
Anyway...
I still love and support the ladies team.
They've been the source of much joy, excitement and entertainment over the years.
They seldom disappoint, if we being honest.
Once again, advice to myself and my fellow sports fans, TEMPER EXPECTATIONS....

Disagree regarding Ismail. She did her job and picked up wickets. 8 wickets for the tournament same as kap and top 7 wicket takers for the tournament.
They were probably the best opening bowling pair in the tournament but didn't get the needed support from the other bowlers or batsmen.

Fair enough...
It is Australia, there is no such thing as enough against them, even in a final...
