Has anyone told the WI team they've got 50 overs?

It's a great T20I start...!

Think they got the memo - 6 dot balls in a row.

I assume this is on a platform I don't have in Oz (Kayo?)

[Donsteppa]

A relatively more sedate 119/3 after 24 overs now.

[Bovidae]

So much for working on the fielding...

[Donsteppa]

Great to hear Smithy back in the commentary box.

[Donsteppa]

Fielding and decisions to use DRS not so good in this over...

[Bovidae]

Catch one, drop one for Rowe.

I struggle the most with that in Women's Cricket. It's good to watch, but seeing sitters dropped regularly is just unacceptable. You're pros- do better.

Same as rugby, tackling is appalling, most 1A teams would beat them. Gotta start somewhere tho

[KiwiPie]

Interesting battle this one. NZ guilty of spraying it around bowling too short or too full. WI really bowling to a plan and bowling to their field. But they dropped Devine when she gave a chance so the game is still in the balance.

[Donsteppa]

Yep, the game is nicely in the balance. So far, luckily the West Indies are making more mistakes in the field than us.

[Machpants]

I think windies have got this

[KiwiPie]

All on Devine now it seems. Although Green is decent. But the Windies aren't offering many freebies.

[Donsteppa]

Devine seems to be able to hit in the air at will, given the West Indian inability to catch anything off her bat so far.

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....

[Crucial]

That was just looking like an interesting finish coming. Damn.

Still run a ball with a handful of extras

[Gunner]

I’m not seeing enough urgency here, too many balls being blocked or hit to fielders.

It’s time to swing the bat ladies!!!!
