The fielding from both sides has been terrible, shelling basic chances and allowing big boundary misfields
Honestly, arguably it can be the difference between sides - so surely you'd train for it?
The interesting aspect is that they do train for it - based on the small parts I've seen of the Ferns in their training camps at Bay Oval....

so why so poor?
Honestly, it's grade cricket level, and poor at that. There are some good catches, but it's the regulation ones going down that must make the coach's head explode.

it's a smaller ball, right. I don't know - genuinely - but I expect more.

It will take a long time before women's cricket out rugby is anything near mens's level. Men are pros, who do it for s living, until that had been going on for women for a decade or so, they'll be relatively shit

I disagree. Young mens players catch way better. I know there's a whole infrastruture that needs work, but fielding seems an area that is ripe for exploitation. Lift that part of the game, and you make a real difference.
