Was watching this series between Aus and Ind women.

Australia limits India to 225-250 in each of the 3 odi's and they themselves either chase down the target in 35 overs or post a 400. FFS even their wicket keeper is bowling to show what they can get away with.

Unbelievable. Ind women are just so bad.. I cannot fathom how they actually beat Australia in the semis of the WC and are the world champs.

Like how??

Just knew it woud be India in the semi final. Anyway, should be some occasion.

India home advantage we have to be on it and bowl really well

Just looked at the t20 wc bracket after you guys commented..



I'm picking NZ to win it since it's the least likely! :)

For all you Mitchell Starc lovers & haters..

You have to see this (not long)





Edit: Here's the video of the game and the commentary box vs just the audio upstairs..

Astonishing knock by Finn Allen 100 off 33 balls.

New Zealand have absolutely steamrollered South Africa

Fackin ell. What a knock.
Don't mind the Kiwis and if we don't win I'll be happy for them to do so.

They've survived the retirements of Boult, Southee (and Williamson in T20) remarkably well.

Excited for our game, dreading that bloody woman screeching between deliveries!
The worst is when I think she is shouting at all and sundry to “clap, clap, clap! “. Just writing this is winding me up lol

 

[waspish]

Let’s see what we made off

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Was in Mumbai last year for the T20 when we were absolutely thrashed. The most one sided game that I have witnessed. The side hasn't changed much since then. Let's hope for a miracle!

Wtf has Salt done to merit being back in the team? I hope he does well but he doesn’t deserve to be in a position to do well or badly

Edit I missed the NZ match and I mistakenly thought Salt had been dropped, must have been a wet dream

held onto catch the captain dropped

 

[gazinho]

Looking forward to Sanju going onto a century here after Brook dropped that absolute dolly

 

[BringBackSwales]

As I said, what’s he done to be picked? Reyan Ahmed must be fuming

Edit tbf dadnlad you’d have taken both those catches

 

[BringBackSwales]

Hope we don’t have just Indian commentators for the whole match

Bowlers getting twatted with too much width

 

[gazinho]
