Australian Women Cricket 2023

[BenDoolan]

Oz girls retain the Ashes, but it was a disappointment to draw the series.

Nat Sciver-Brunt is in some sort of form

[grassy1]

Must have mentally relaxed after securing the ashes.

Cracking partnership between Litchfield and Sutherland

Nice work,though I dare say our Irish friends are still learning the Craft on the International stage.

Small victories for them,like good individual innings of bowling.Orla Prendergast and Georgina Dempsey may have the potential to form the backbone of the Irish Team for the next 10 years!

West Indian Women Tour of Australia

1st T20i

WI-W 3/147 off 20 overs (Hayley Matthews 99*) defeated by AUS-W 2/149 off 13.2 overs (Tahlia McGrath 60*, Alyssa Healy 56)

Well played Hayley Matthews but the agony for one more run

Tahlia McGrath loves T20i. Her batting average in this mode is extraordinary

[BenDoolan]

2nd T20i

AUS-W 6/212 off 20 overs (Ellyse Perry 70, Phoebe Litchfield 52*, Georgia Wareham 32*, Beth Mooney 29, Hayley Matthews 3-36, Shamilia Connell 2-35) defeated by WI-W 3/213 off 19.5 overs (Hayley Matthews 132, Stafanie Taylor 59, Megan Schutt 2-30)

I just witnessed one of the best international hundreds ever. Hayley Matthews take a bow. That was absolutely sensational. She just caned every bowler In true cavalier West Indian style. Beautiful to watch. Took 3 wickets as well. What a bloody sensational performance

[BenDoolan]

3rd T20i

AUS-W 9/190 off 20 overs (Tahlia McGrath 65, Ellyse Perry 40, Phoebe Litchfield 36, Shamilia Connell 3-25) defeated WI-W 143 off 19.5 overs (Hayley Matthews 79, Aaliyah Alleyne 26, Darcie Brown 3-20, Ashleigh Gardner 3-32, Kim Garth 2-24)

Hayley Matthews AGAIN!

She is phenomenal. Absolute delight to watch. 310 runs in 3 innings. Off only 178 deliveries. 43 fours, 13 sixes. Just brilliant.

She is.But the problem for The West Indies is,when batting,when she goes,they go and that’s the ball game.Something for them to work on,before the next 20/20 World Cup.

Yep, there’s not much beyond her.

She has now won 8 player of the match awards in a row - win or lose.

Amazing.

[grassy1]

8?

Amazing!

I’d be curious as to how much they add up to,….

If she feels like Daffy Duck in a Gold Mine,good luck to her.

[BenDoolan]

1st ODI;

WI-W 83 off 27.3 overs (Aaliyah Alleyene 35, Kim Garth 3-8, Ashleigh Gardner 2-17, Georgia Wareham 2-30) defeated by AUS-W 2/87 off 14.5 overs (Alyssa Healy 38)

Windies struggled without Hayley Matthews. But the ball was doing plenty in the air…

[grassy1]

They really do struggle without her.

[BenDoolan]

2nd ODI;

WI-W 8/107 off 25.3 overs (Aaliyah Alleyne 28*, Annabel Sutherland 3-6, Alana King 3-16) v AUS-W - no result

Reckon if we can eke out another 120 - 150 runs,India may falter trying to chase it.

Seems like a Million things have gone wrong in this Test,yet we possibly can steal it.

I reckon they’re cooked.

Unless Ash Gardener can do something extraordinary with both bat and ball from here on in… they’re going to lose.
