2022 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand
-
Tahuhu pulling a Lance Cairns would also be handy!
-
I guess if we can scrape our way into the top half of the draw we still have a chance of jamming our way through two knockout games...
It's interesting having a World Cup with only eight teams... Bob Carter took over the coaching role two and a half years ago from a relatively divided dressing room. His win-loss record with the White Ferns has been poor, and he's made a couple of interesting selections at times... yet he still has a starters chance of being a World Cup winning coach if the Ferns can put a couple of top drawer performances together at the right time.
(And ideally avoiding Australia...)
-
Sadly, I was expecting a result like this. The big win in the warm-up game gave us false hope. Probably need to beat both SA and England to avoid Aust in a SF.

Witg the greatest respect to the Australian team ,
Some of shots the Kiwi team were playing looked like something you would see watching social cricket down at your local park ..
Is this more of an indightment on the local game ..? -

Is this more of an indightment on the local game ..?Absolutely. Huge difference between the two countries with one being well paid full time professionals (players and staff) the other cobbled together with players that stand out among poor competition

like the rugby - professionalism trumps attitude
-
Absolute shocker, lack of concentration & focus really cost NZ - we bowled well until the last 10 overs, then fed the Aussies too much loose bowling where they scored over 100 runs in that period, the batting was atrocious... need to have a big change of mindset if they're going to have any chance of making the top 4.
-
England plays SA later this afternoon. An important match.
Surprisingly (to me anyway), SA is actually 2nd in the ODI rankings. They seem to have struggled to put Bangladesh and Pakistan away. England will be in a deep hole if they lose again.
Rankings:
Aust
SA
England
India
NZ
Windies
Bangladesh
Pakistan -
Those rankings look about right to me, though home advantage should still be enough to elevate the White Ferns a place or two in this tournament. From the very little I've seen of South Africa over the last couple of years, they seem capable of rising or falling to about the level of their opposition. They looked very nervous in the field those last few overs against Pakistan...
-
South Africa have England 19/2 in the 6th over. Nervous times loom for the English batters...
-
Beaumont and Jones have well and truly steadied the ship for England.
-
Over at Seddon Park, Sidra Amin's 104 looks like being in a losing cause as she's the ninth wicket to fall with Pakistan still needing 20 off 13 against Bangladesh.
Pakistan went from 183/2 to 187/7 in the space of two overs.
Update: Bangladesh win a World Cup game for the first time by nine runs.
-
@donsteppa That's a real choke!
Meanwhile England's catching has been sloppy - two drops and an edge wide of slip that Dottin would have grabbed!.
-
South Africa now 158/4 needing 78 from 85. Laura Wolvaardt almost got a bit panicy and started hitting in the air off Kate Cross, and the field eventually obliged. 147/2 becomes 158/4...
-
South Africa win by 3 wickets with 3 balls to spare. England now drinking in the last chance saloon needing to beat both India and NZ. Likewise those 1 need to beat England etc etc. Great format and mostly great games.
-
@kiwipie Very similar format to the 1992 CWC format, which was probably my favourite.
I think we're probably best off if India beats England to probably send them home and we end up with a dogfight vs the Windies, where we should have the better NRR, but they'll have a somewhat easier finish.

I agree, good format. Simple.
Not pools, with super pools, where you carry some points over, but only against other teams that came through, so the weird incentives are ... weird.
The last over brain explosion vs WI and our capitulation against Aus mean we're up against it. Ideally win it all from here, but it looks like we may get through with one more narrow loss.
-
@nzzp We've ended up in a little triangle with India and Windies - each beating another - but, we won the NRR in that triangle.
2/3 should be enough, but it won't be easy. Botching that last over vs Windies has the pressure on.
-
It's ironic that England have come closest to beating Australia so far despite their 0-3 record.
-
Windies win the toss and batting first against Oz.
Bloody cold day for it. If the aussies thought the Basin was a bit chilly the other day they'll be really feeling the southerly today.
-
Ellyse Perry promptly has the Windies 4/2 with two wickets in two balls in the second over...
-
West Indies 70/5. So basically this is a round robin series to see who has the best chance of beating Australia in the knockout games...
-
West Indies are showing some fight.
7/2
-
Australia vs West Indies.
Matthews a spinner bowling to Haynes an opener!

Never stop.

Looks like England has finally turned up.

To be fair they have lost three tight ones in a row.

surprised they're playing this tournament in Autumn where the weather can be a bit up & down.

They've started batting like they plan to keep that perfect record!

Yep, despite the three losses so far being close, today was the first time that England have looked genuinely sharp in the field. Looks a bit same old with the bat so far from the defending Champs, but they should still be good enough to win this one.
-
@donsteppa Yeah.
To be honest, I have them as slight favourites to beat us as well - which will likely put them on a path to scrape into the semis at our expense.
-
NZ win the toss and will bat. Halliday in for Jensen.
-
@bovidae Bates already gone, NZ are struggling at the start here.
-
A terrible shot. An angled bat and playing down the wrong line.
The slow RR won't be an issue if they cash in later. These two and Satterthwaite will need to score the bulk of the runs.
-
Wow that changed quickly (I can't actually watch at the moment) - suddenly 74-1 after 16.2 from 19-1 after 9. Now these 2 need to stay in a long time.

Appears SA don't have a plan b at the moment. Plan A worked well initially.

Is Amelia Kerr the most talented young cricket we have seen on the women's game?
Did Bates and Devine show so much at Kerr's age?
She is sensational
