White Ferns in England

[Bones]

NZ ripped off a run on the last ball. Fielder with her foot on the boundary pad as she swiped the ball away. They managed to run 3.

Nevermind 1 run never matters in England and we only scored 244 so aren't even maybe in the game, definitely out of the game.

Average score on this pitch batting first is 243.

Need to get one of Knight or Wyatt out quickly...

A wide...she swung around it...

Robbed again! No idea how it came down to the last two balls when we didn't even go above the score that would have had us maybe in the match.

The commentators will spin it as a two wicket thrashing...

@donsteppa yeah just like on the 4 that got "saved".

Ebony: "Well she looks clear with the left foot, there's no contact there"

Boundary padding: "Wheeeeee I'm flying"

A 203 run loss to finish the tour with, glad I didn't stay up late for that one! In some ways the tour finished not much better than we started out - we're still reliant on a small number of key players to do the majority of the work, and if they don't fire...
