[grassy1]

Nothing against the Players here,but I'm at the point where 20/20 almost gets a Total Wide Berth.

Just got an ABC Cricket Mag and earmarked the Sheffield Shield and ODD's for the rest of the Season.

[BenDoolan]

Beth Mooney the star of our two victories in the 3 T20i’s. She was pretty crook prior to this last match, but hit a brilliant 82. Great performer

[BenDoolan]

SAf-W 105 off 31-3 overs (Marizanne Kapp 50rh, Alana King 3-19, Kim Garth 2-18) defeated by AUS-W 2/106 off 19 overs (Beth Mooney 52*)

[BenDoolan]

Big win by the ladies in the final ODI. They now have a 4 point lead in this mutli format series. 4 points are up for grabs in the upcoming Test starting Thursday. The best Saffas can do is draw the series.

I hope Alana King gets a gig. She’s a damn good bowler!

[BenDoolan]

ONLY TEST v South Africa

SAf-W 76 (Sune Luus 26, Darcie Brown 5-21, Annabel Sutherland 3-19, Tahlia McGrath 2-4) & 3/67 (Kim Garth 2-8) v AUS-W 9/575 dec (Annabel Sutherland 210, Alyssa Healy 99, Beth Mooney 78, Ashleigh Gardner 65, Masabata Klaas 3-39)

[BenDoolan]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaarking hell Alyssa

Bloody stiff. Pulled a short ball to the boundary where the fielder just stopped and released the ball in time before the foot touched the rope. Basically a millisecond / centimetre between 99 and 101. Out next ball.

So now the Starc / Healy household have something strongly in common. Highest test scores of 99.

Great innings though. In the searing heat.

Beth Mooney looked like she was cruising to a ton as well, but nicked off to slips.

Big pat on the back to Darcie Brown who bowled beautifully. And Annabel Sutherland… wow, what a star - 3/19 and 54 not out. Done it easy!

[grassy1]

Can't blame the Aussie girls,but this is waytoo easy!

Embarrassingly so!

[BenDoolan]

Annabel Sutherland

Magnificent innings. So good to watch. Phenomenal effort
