+x+x+xI’m quite impressed by the standard in women’s Test cricket. I might have to attend the Tas women’s team’s games at Bellerive this next season. Mate isnt it ridiculous that our women dont play red ball cricket at state level. Yet they have been playing Ashes Tests since the 50s. Given the fact they only play a Test every two years I am impressed by the techniques of our two superstars, Perry and Lanning. Haynes and Mooney looked good too. I didn’t realise they don’t play red ball cricket! This current scenario seems absurd. It is ludicrous. Notice we dont hear the BCCI insisting Indian women play Test matches. The ICC needs to get out of the dark ages and introduce an Ashes like format for all the other nations.

In some of the cricket playing countries they don’t take women’s sport as seriously as they do in others.

So did I.. had to sleep. Our best chance is to knock em off before they reach the follow on point. That three hour rain delay will come back to haunt us now.

Gardner and Molineux are imparting a bit of spin on the ball at times.

Only choice is to add another 100. and get them back in.. Still time for a result . Australians dont play for draws.

Marsh with flight and spin has dismissed Healy and Haynes to make Aus 2-15. Dismissals were bowled and LBW.
Aus have have a lead of 160 with 8 wickets remaining.
This Taunton wicket is turning. Spin from both ends from Marsh and Ecclestone with plenty of shine on the ball early in the innings.

+x+xPerry has played for the Matildas, the Australian football (soccer) team too. She was a fringe player. As a cricketer her all round skills in bowling and batting are extraordinary! She was more than a fringe player think you will find. Reason she had to choose between soccer and cricket. Thank goodness she chose cricket. If only our men had a complete cricketer like Ellyse. Fringe at national team level in football, but as a cricketer she must be one of the world’s best.

After a lot of ODI cricket in the WC, I’m loving seeing attacking fielders in close catching positions around the bat, particularly with the spinners bowling from both ends.

I thought Marsh was straying with her line in the first innings, but she has been devastating in this innings, just inducing another outside edge from Lanning.

I’ve never seen this before, but second slip is kneeling on the grass instead of crouching down waiting for a catch.
The English spinners are getting prodigious turn as well as some nice loop.
It would be good for Grazor to evaluate their bowling, but I doubt he can get GEM in Canada.
Shot - nice straight drive for 4!

Shame there is no DRS in women’s cricket.
Unplayable ball sent down by Marsh that nearly resulted in a stumping off Lanning.

Gordon has taken the pressure off.
I spoke too soon - she has induced a catch at cover to dismiss Lanning off a shocking loose delivery!
3-67.

The lead is 212 with seven wickets left.
Do we have enough of a lead?

Baggers, what do you think of Perry's technique?
She looks to be a very elegant and classy batter IMO?
What a cricketer!
