Cricket: The Women's Cricket Thread

[Dan C]

120-4, hell man, the ladies have been a bit underdone this tourney so far... disappointing...

They should take up mud wrestling. I'm sure we will beat India.

Total collapse after the captain got out...

Luus .. just retire already

 

[Dan C]

Jesus, this umpiring

Luus .. just retire already

Therein lies the rub though. Lee, Mignon, Ismail, Dane all retired and their respective replacements are nowhere near the players they were.

This umpire has had 2 LBW reviewed in one over and both over turned. Utterly useless!!

Jesus, this umpiring

Useless!!! Imagine being that bad at your job and anyone he says anything would be guilty of dissent, fined and potentially suspended?!!!

Really miss Ismail. Dane on the other hand has become one of the best commentators.

 

[sand_man]

2 run outs? Got to at least nail down the basics...

 

[Dan C]

Another run out. If de Klerk got sent off Shangase would have had 2 black eyes.

That happens when you mistreat your best players and they retire well before time. Lee & Dane only 32 & 31 would have made a big difference to this batting lineup.

This batting lineup is Wolfie & Kapp or nothing.

I see Dane & Marizanne have swapped ep for WP.

Give de Ridder more game time. She has potential.

I would like to see her get more game time instead of jafta...

India are 130/0 after 28 overs.. Day 1 of the test match. This is going to be humiliating and embarrassing...

Yeah, women's test cricket is a mess. Laura is right. The first time these ladies experience anything beyond a T20 or ODI is in a test match. Ridiculous! Lambs to the slaughter. It's not fair on the ladies, nor is it beneficial to the sport... farce!!

 

[RunningFromFat]

I feel like we are beginning to lag behind in the women's game. Usually play the same bits and pieces players who dont peform.

It's so strange seeing them in all white.
