die hard doonhamer Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Watched some of the women's test between England and India yesterday. India's 17 year old opener, Shafali Verma, looks like an unbelievable talent (although as I type I see she's just got out). 96 and 63 on debut, and she played some lovely lovely shots through all parts of the off side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice way to treat the English women as they play their first home test in nearly two years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few tweets before it started that they had put the match on a used pitch. Nice way to treat the English women as they play their first home test in nearly two years. It had only been used for something like 35 overs, so that was much ado about nothing really. She hit 3 6s across her 2 innings, which already makes her the leading 6 hitter in the history of women's test match cricket. No one else has more than 2 in their career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 More overnight rain at Southampton means it looks like another delayed start. Should have played it at Titwood imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Big wicket for the Kiwis there, the next half hour will be pivotal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 The Kiwis looking good now, hopefully get a batting masterclass from Ross Taylor & KW while the pitch does nowt for Jadeja & Ashwin, although I think Ishant Sharna & Mo Shami will be very dangerous on a seaming & swinging track like this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 5-31 from Kyle Jamieson off 22 overs, going to be a struggle now for India if the Kiwis get a decent total as Ashwin & Jadeja will not have the scoreboard pressure on a day 5 pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Cautious but steady start by the Kiwis, 36-0 from 21 overs.We had the shortest rain delay ever earlier, lasted all of two minutes, the batsmen went off but the Indians didn't bother leaving the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's been a long slog for the Kiwis but they are now just 8 behind India with 3 wickets in hand.Williamson's strike rate this morning was the lowest of any test batsman who has faced 40+ balls in a session for over 10 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 NZ all out for 249 for a lead of 32. The difference was really down to what the respective tails managed to add, with India scoring 12 for their last 3 wickets while the Kiwis got 57. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 They should have a bowl out to decide the trophy just to see Kohli's head go into orbit if India lose. The WTC is a noble idea but needs a bit of refinement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 India in trouble, lost wickets steadily today but Pant was posing some problems for the Kiwis, he's just skyed one from Boult that Nicholls did well to get across from gully to catch. 7 down with a lead of 124 and only the bowlers left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Fair play to India, they are putting huge pressure on the Kiwis, that's 21 dot balls in a row. 46-2 from 22 overs, Williamson and Taylor at the crease. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
