Suicidal run!!!

Shrubsole was injured?

Where would Shrubsole normally bat?

[canefan]

Oh my god. This will be an epic choke if they lose this. Surely the Poms won't lose from here?

9, 10, 11... from what I've seen she's liable to try slogging it out of the ground like Timmy at any stage...

[booboo]

Get behind stumps Martin

[canefan]

Fucken wide!

[booboo]

Don't bowl there

[canefan]

What are the chances they come off for rain?

[booboo]

@canefan Too high for my liking

[booboo]

Rain has eased considerably though

[booboo]

Scores tied

England would win on DLS... even before that boundary to tie the scores as I type...

[booboo]

Poo

[Bovidae]

The 2 experienced players didn't want to take responsibility and bowl.

[canefan]

Never made enough runs. England generously made it far closer than it should have been

[Donsteppa]

England as defending champs are a slightly better performing version of the NZ squad. A weak middle and lower order batting lineup, and with 2-3 players in their squad on long term reputation rather than form.

Yep, I'm sure that there's something not quite right in that squad and leadership/coaching setup...

[Stag]

Embarrassing stuff from the White Ferns at home. Makes the ad with Bates saying nothing can stop them look pretty lame now.

Picking Jonas ahead of Kasperek looks a pretty poor decision in hindsight. Probably with foresight as well, but I wasn't paying any attention.

Three close losses - can't afford that.

However, would have been a miracle if we'd been able to beat Oz in the play-offs - especially with Tahuhu and Devine probably broken.

We could have called in Kasperek!

It was an insane selection decision by Bob Carter and his sidekicks. I read and reread the squad list before assuming that the NZ Cricket social media team must have made a typo.

6/46 would have been very handy! https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-women-in-new-zealand-2020-21-1249224/new-zealand-women-vs-australia-women-2nd-odi-1249242/full-scorecard
