Sorry ... silly question time ... but is there a bloke's T20 at the CG? And if not why not?
They're (the boards) too
richbusy for it. Can't fit it in, if there is a 3 match T20I series some nations could be playing, somewhere, at that time.There's also no ICC Womens T20 World Championshipi so this doesn't become a rehash of something almost identical.
Que? 80,000 at the G last year watched the final?

Just watched Eng v NZ in SF Woman's Hockey
Shootout
Should be called Shitout
Spectacularly bad from both teams

NZ thrashed by England in the women's T20 cricket so play Aust in the SF.
While I can't see anything but an eventual Gold/Silver final between Oz and England, I'd hoped we'd put up a better fight than the customary batting collapse.
Our former selector/coach apparently ending Amy Satterthwaite's international career comes back to haunt us on batting days like that...
Well I thought that would be the case... except England unexpectedly bowled pies to India. And then Nat Sciver led the English chase like she was anchoring a 1990's ODI, rather than a T20I knockout...

The girls are halfway there. 58-1 after just 5 overs. No need to take risks now
Risk with Bates bashing it straight down the fielder's throat is we only really have three batters that I trust to get this done safely. Now Plimmer has barely troubled the scorers, so Kerr joins Devine, and hopefully...

We have plenty of time. No need for these two to take risks. Just guide the ship home. Run rate is 3 per over

We lose another wicket after Plimmer guides a ball into the slips. I bet they wish Satherwaite was there to help Devine guide us home!
Yep, it's disturbing how much a "high performance"coach and a flea-brained selection panel can shoot a team in the foot sometimes...

All of the above... I think peak carnage would be Bob Carter joining Ian Foster as an Assistant Coach, and Emily 'we didnt miss Kasperek' Drumm joining as a selector...
Back to the game at hand. Despite that 3 an over required run rate, Kerr looks in a hurry.
