Well Done Again Ladies!

A National Cricket Team who do Australia Proud!

A Hat-trick to cap it all Off!

Commiserations to South Africa who played Great Cricket throughout the Tournament including the Final,restricting our Total to 156.In the end,they couldn’t quite pull it off and would have been equally deserved Winners!Not to be and we understand the sentiment from the Captain.If we weren’t in the way,others would get a look - in!

Ellyse Perry’s amazing Test career continues to be amazing

Tahlia McGrath. Love her. So good to watch

[BenDoolan]

Ahh… I went to bed at the rain delay when Ellyse was 82 not out. Devo to wake up and find out she was dismissed for 99

Still, the innings I watched was superb

[BenDoolan]

Annabel Sutherland take a bow

Brilliant hundred batting at No.8

[BenDoolan]

Superb knock by England’s Tammy Beaumont. Dips the lid

[BenDoolan]

Fantastic victory by the Oz gals

Ash Gardner - bloody outstanding

Leave it to you,Benny.

I know the Result,but this is your baby.

[BenDoolan]

Leave it to you,Benny.

I know the Result,but this is your baby.

Wow, fantastic result!

Pity I couldn’t stay up to see the ending, but what a thriller! Needing 6 to win (or 5) off the last ball… only managed to get a single. A four would have tied it up.

Outstanding effort by Sciver-Brunt. She was 40 odd not out when I hit the hay.

Well… I know Alana King bowled beautifully… but they can thank Georgia Wareham who smashed 26 runs off the last over to give Australia that 282 target. Without it, the game would easily be lost. That was great hitting.

ASHES RETAINED
