This Alana King is having quite a week. 1-20 to stall England, and now 7-18 in only 7 overs.

This scorecard is insane..

So England won vs the NZ team. That makes them second.

This means should the semi-final be rained out.. England are through to the final!

I often wondered why they don't play cricket through the rain just like footy.. well I got my answer today.. really really bad injury for an Indian player who slipped in the rain and twisted her ankle.



Never gonna make fun of Nunes slipping ever again!

Cummins has been ruled out of the first test. A big blow but I imagine Scott Boland, his expected replacement, will cause England all sorts of problems in Perth. Quite incredibly, he averages a little over 12 in Australia.

Sir Jimmy was knighted today at Windsor castle by Princess Anne. Well done, Jimmy. The lad from Burnley done good.

I'm watching the ticker report. Seems Ecclestone picked up a bunch of wickets, but the opener is having a great time.

She's got almost as many as the entire England men's team overnight.

Getting batted out of this

Arise Sir Jimmy, well deserved honour for the Burnley Express.

little bit wide there from the bowler.

Awful bowling apart from Ecclestone, average fielding at best. Excellent batting unfortunately

 

[BringBackSwales]

The entire England team rushing to congratulate the batter, good sportswomanship but fucking hell, hard as nails aussies ain’t doing that

Starting to think we could well lose the Ashes 4 or 5 nil again. Our batting isn’t going to be good enough.

It was as bizarre as it was entirely expected to hear Brook talk about going harder at the bowlers in the first match. They only batted for a fraction of their overs, and then did the same today - you're not going to beat many if you you don't bother with 1/3 of the innings.

Seems that an awful lot will depend on Archer in Australia.

 

[GornikDaze]

Not the best start haha

 

[dadnlad]

whats that 0-3

 

[MillionMilesAway]

bit behind the runrate already.
