3runs short. That last over (26) for Australia won this match. After the previous ODI I am very surprised Glenn came in before Cross. Mel Jones commentating at the end on Australia winning the ashes was particularly grating, horrible
 
Too many failures Glen too slow,Bells last over,Knight all at see with her captaincy,field positions and batting and dunkley not bright enough to keep the scoreboard moving..
 
Not watched all of it admittedly but when I was watching earlier there was a wide where the England batter said she'd actually touched it so they missed out on an extra ball at the of the over. Am I right in remembering that?

I think in the bigger picture the Aussies no longer look invincible. At all. That's the most important takeaway message.

Yep. This is the first time they've come away with a bloodied nose in a long, long time. They barely lose any games at all. Let alone the three on the bounce they have this series.

They're one of the most dominant teams in all of sport if you look at the 'big' sports.

No not really Woeful fielding,dropped catches and so on Makes me fume when they want to be treated as equals Aussies looked fitter,faster and smarter..I think the Iranians have got it right shoes off and a damn good thwacking..

Indeed we can still square the series and pushed them in almost every game

I'm thinking more medium term really. The next T20 world cup (2024),and the next fifty-over world cup (2025), i.e. the proper world cup as far as I'm concerned.

Want to be treated as equals ? Do you mean with men ? Do men not drop catches?

Forecast definitely looks to be improving as it gets closer. Was forecast rain pretty much all day every day when I looked last week. Now bar the odd possible shower we should be getting full days in on each of the 1st 3 days. Good for me as I've got tickets for Friday!
 
First 3 days weather wise looks fine 4th and 5th looks like there is rain around! Hopefully we have rapped it up by the 3rd day and make it 2-2
 
Glad Jimmy is back in for his last hurrah, until his next one!

We had the right balance last time around and hopefully the pitch at OT offers a bit more so Jimmy can take advantage. 700 wickets would most certainly have been his aim before the Ashes, he'd probably have quite liked to have retired post-Ashes having reached that milestone but sadly hasn't managed to do much with the ball. A nice 12-fer at OT will do it!
