2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand

For significance:

[nzzp]

This game sums up our tournament.

Brainless batting decisions, throwing away strong positions, and just not good enough.

Frustrating to watch

[Bovidae]

Comical in the last few overs and likely to be bowled out with overs to spare again.

Smithy is really having a crack at them too. Fair enough. He’s pissed off

[Donsteppa]

Katey Martin makes up for being a run-out queen earlier with several boundaries at the end. 265/8

Do we have any chance of progressing now?

So Bob Carter gets to go back to working at a higher level at NZC... talk about failing upwards: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/women-in-sport/128180263/disappointing-world-cup-tournament-not-the-reason-for-bob-carters-white-ferns-exit

Perhaps a TSF collective application, with a CV outlining our track record of brilliantly conflicting advice from our respective couches? WHITE FERNS Head Coach (flexible location)

What the last ball win by the South Africans meant to the West Indies last night:

[Bovidae]

I ended up watching the last few overs in the India-SA game. What a costly nb from India.

NZ finished where they deserved to by losing to all the semi-finalists.

[ACT Crusader]

I’ve watched a few of the games and highlights of a few others, some quality cricket.

But surely this is one of the longest cricket tournament’s ever?

@act-crusader ha ha ha, have you met icc?

The odi have lasted nearly two months at times

Yep, by the standards of some of the past mens CWC's, this almost seems like a short tournament.

Pity they couldn't have played the games in Summer instead of early Autumn

Architects of our own demise, but - aside from Australia - we didn't need much to change to turn 3 wins and 3 close losses into 6 wins and qualifying comfortably.

In the end, 3 wins was enough for the Windies to qualify with the help of some well timed rain.

Basically, Australia's tournament to lose - I doubt the Windies has the firepower to trouble them.

England vs SA will be interesting.

Same as the last one, but in a knockout crazy things can happen!

[Donsteppa]

Raining in Wellington for the Australia v West Indies semi final. Australia without Ellyse Perry for this game.

And meanwhile on Cricinfo...

[KiwiPie]

Bit of a drubbing handed out by Australia today. They seem to have 5-6 players who can play match-winning innings so not all of them have to go big. Hard to make a case for anyone beating them in the final

@kiwipie Nice to see Healy back in form.
