@booboo ... and that's all she wrote
I watch it if I can - but as I wrote elsewhere, the standard was pretty poor, particularly in the field. Simple catches being dropped consistently.
Catches win matches. We had a golden opportunity to deal to Aus, and threw it away (or shelled it, depending on how bad dad joke you want to go)

I can't say I watch every game, but what I have seen of the White Ferns this summer adds to my "flat track bullies" impression of them on the whole. There were some great individual domestic performances this summer, but they get put into perceptive once the White Ferns come up against any international team ranked above them. Perhaps we need more depth in the domestic game.

The Ferns look half a team with some making up the numbers - if the big guns don't fire, there isn't much else and with Bates out, that's a lot of pressure on Devine and Satterthwaite. And lots of dobblies, it's like Larsen and Harris all over again.
In my insomniac time last night, there was an exciting conclusion to the India v England ODI series made exciting by India shelling some absolute sitters. I thought the fix might be in, it was so bad ....

Just a typical Kiwi international cricket team then?

I suppose it could be argued our current team is atypical.

Absolutely, this amount of class players all in the same era is unheard of.
Get on the bandwagon while you can everyone !

@donsteppa Thanks for letting us know. Yours being the only post about the game (and only after it has concluded) perhaps indicates exactly how much interest there is in women's cricket. Still jamming one up those Aussies is something to be mightily pleased about.

I commented but just to humour him.

@mn5 Hell, just found out it was at it was at McLean Park as well. Wonder what happened to the rain that gererally falls to ruin cricket there? Still there is the Mens game to come so maybe there is still a chance of a rain washout. As the old saying goes "to end a drought in HB just schedule an international cricket match"!

The White Ferns win game two with a French cut off the last ball of the innings for a four wicket win.
they bowled really well, and should have won by more. Made a mess of the last over after getting 4 off the first ball and only needing 5 off 5. Still, a win is a win, we'll take it particularly missing Suzie Devine

@bovidae Goodness, that's a massive percentage of the total in a one day game. Did he take a walking single off the last ball of ever over to hog the strike?
He did face about half of the total balls bowled, allowing for the 11 wide deliveries and no ball.

An interesting scorecard for Pakistan in ODI 2 against SA overnight. Pakistan lost by 17 runs chasing 342, but Fakhar Zaman gets 193 of their 324 runs (off 155 balls). Their next highest scorer got 31 with the ever dependable extras on 25.
I see South Africa wore pink last night, after both teams wore the same uniform the previous game.
