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....
so why so poor?
Honestly, it's grade cricket level, and poor at that. There are some good catches, but it's the regulation ones going down that must make the coach's head explode.
It will take a long time before women's cricket out rugby is anything near mens's level. Men are pros, who do it for s living, until that had been going on for women for a decade or so, they'll be relatively shit

I disagree. Young mens players catch way better. I know there's a whole infrastruture that needs work, but fielding seems an area that is ripe for exploitation. Lift that part of the game, and you make a real difference.

Go hard early in the over, I do not want this going down to the last ball!!!!
... or super overs?

In a case like the TMO LBW review what would have happened to the leg bye if the TMO overturned the out decision as the fielding team had given up going for the runout once the umpire's finger went up. It looked like a runout was more than a possibility had they kept playing the ball instead of celebrating the wicket.

I can’t remember watching a worse attempt from a cricket team needing 6 from 6, with 3 wickets in hand.
They’ve had an absolute shocker!
That's pretty harsh, Dottin bowled a perfect yorker just at the right time. Amazing that she hadn't bowled up to then as she showed up their other death bowlers.

I wish I was surprised at the result, but unlike the "surprise loss" Stuff headline for tonight's game, unfortunately it has been the warm-up results over the last three weeks that have been the pleasant surprise for the White Ferns - based on the last couple of years of performances.
Still, here's hoping for much better results from the rest of the round robin!
