I would definitely see Aussies as clear favourites, but then again I am as pessimistic about England cricket teams as I used to be about City, back in the day. They are middle class English giggles, Lauren bell just bowled a wide and giggles about it, not exactly a hard winning mentality
Edit hopefully England win and piss Nasser off
To be fair a Lauren Bell playful giggle might unsettle some of the Aussie ladies in the same way I might find it distracting...
More cunning than you think.

They fucking giggle about everything mate. I want them to do well but I wish they’d develop a tougher edge

Australia are missing Healy today/maybe the rest of the tournament - do England have the depth to replace someone as important to their own side?

Looks like Brunt has had a large wedge on Australia at 68/4...
Yes. Tammy Beaumont is a wicket keeper as well. Then bring in Danni Wyatt (who I'm surprised isn't playing). Would be just as good a team imo.

Needing less than 1 a ball, England give Australia an easy single, off almost every ball. Surely getting beat trying to take wickets is better than this slow, guaranteed death?

Your quote about them always laughing is particularly prescient and I still have no idea why they do it.
Wide? Funny.
Misfield? Hilarious.
Dropped catch? Side splittingly funny.

Think the difference maker in this game today was Alana King's bowling.. 10 overs for 20 runs. That's insane.
That gave Aussies a manageable score too chase even when they were 4 wickets down.. and they are a solid batting lineup. They still had Mcgrath, Molineux, Garth, King who can bat down to #10 really.
This tournament is going to be largely decided on bowling.
I'm sorta fond of the Indian gals but they're horrible bowlers. Australia and South Africa bowling has been the best in the tournament. Would not be surprised if its those 2 in the final.

We normally manage 4 years unbeaten, 5 with COVID.

India are through to the semis.
They can bat.. they can actually bat beautifully and they should have won by over a 100+ runs.. but won by 53..
Their bowling is shambolic!

Looking pretty certain the semi finals are Australia v India and England v South Africa
