Second biggest chase ever in World Cups. Damn impressive against that Aussie team.

Is that the highest successful run chase in Women's ODI cricket.. well in a world cup too..

Yes.

Second highest ever in any sort of World Cup from what I've read. And the highest one is a 'low' quality one between Pakistan and Sri Lanka a few years back.

They just showed this on the screen:



Women's cricket is starting to get a lot better and the girls are a lot easier on the eye.. well at least my eyes ^^

it's quite mad that they've played each other twice this tournament and 330 was the lowest score, with both chases winning.

Can I admit I find Lauren Bell easy on my eyes? ;)

It would be stranger to say the opposite

England a mess yet again.

At least when England aren’t competitive down under, you can just go to bed and forget that it’s happening.

The ashes could be painful.

Forgot it was on, glad I missed most of the game

The first five batters scored 30 odd between them. Awful. Again.

Wait until the Aussies get hold of them.

Jacob Bethell is a strange one.
Played that stunning innings v SA but he's not good enough, YET.
Another one they've fast tracked. before they are ready.

Are we having an Ashes 2025 thread or are we posting in this thread, Mods

If it's going to be like the last Ashes down under, it was over after the first ball in the first test, so maybe leave it all in here

These new young batsman don’t know how to bat against a swinging ball or bouncing ball! Needs to learn quickly

Maybe they should get better scouts..

You know there are cricketers and there are social media sensations that model playing cricket for ads and sponsors!

Maybe, and I know this is utter madness and will never catch on, he plays some county cricket and learns the game, there?

Tbf the one day team and test team are not remotely the same.

Holy smokes!!!

I was watching the City game.. didn't realize the Indian gals didn't choke up/ bottle it for once..

They beat South Africa in the World Cup final!

Fully expected them to lose as they lost to all the big teams this tournament..

Can't get my head round it. Happy for Jemimah.. she won me over as a fan with her semi final performance!

Well done gals!
