Only Test (womens) : Australia v India @ Carrara D/N Sep 30 - Oct 3 3021

Lanning dropped, straight to gully

A difficult chance.. a shot Meg will chastise herself over.

 

[baggygreen man]

This giantess Goswami kinda meanders to the crease but knows how to put a ball on the spot and ask questions. Much like Abbas of Pakistan. Pretty sure I first saw Goswami on Aussie soil well over a decade ago. She has to be in her late 30s I'd imagine.

4 Down at stumps isn't too bad. Get passed the follow on total tomorrow and cruise to a draw.

Aust 4/143
India 234 ahead

Wonder if we have a chat with India overnight to make a game of this?

Agree to bat for 10 overs tops then declare, and ask they do the same for 10 overs
India have all their guns available so most likely will score more runs in this period
Lose 4 overs for change of innings twice

76 overs left in the day, Chasing about 250+

Could set up a terrific test, and most likely a result

Even if Australia ended up winning, The indian team would get so much more respect and this test would be renown for their sporting declaration. And of course if India ended up winning, would be enormous, so much better than a lame draw, which is probably what is gonna happen "sniff"

Elysse Perry 27*

Now averages over 81.00 in test cricket, this her 9th test

 

[baggygreen man]

4-143 is a satisfactory result from the more difficult batting conditions during the evening session. I had visions of us being all out. Still some batting to come in the day session from the Aussie girls with our champion all rounder still at the crease..

Hey guys rather that just post randomly why dont we quote each others posts. Much more fun this way.. plus is more personal. Always been the way in the 15 years that I have been posting on cricket forums.

 

[baggygreen man]

DRS to be used in the Ashes Test. Needs to be as the two umps in this match have made the odd howler leaving either skipper with no way to formally challenge a bad decision.

No.

 

[baggygreen man]

No.

Why. Is that what the others will say.

 

[baggygreen man]

Why no early start like yesterday? Still has to be 108 overs of play in the day.

 

[baggygreen man]

Forgetting all cricket now starts an hour later with DS. ggrrr.

 

[Pass like Artie]

Australian team became a bit pampered. Spoilt. Arrogant. Like to see a team like India win. Knock them off their pedestal.

 

[baggygreen man]

Perry a class act. Leading the way yet again. @78 Test average.

Gardner a good support act but easy to see she has not played much red ball cricket. Feet anchored and uses hard hands. But knows how to put away the loose one.

 

[baggygreen man]

It is so plain to see that our girls need to be playing state level red ball too. Some have virtually no clue how to play a moving ball, move their feet or play with soft hands. Some of the Indians were the same.

 

[baggygreen man]

Meghna only medium pace but she has the skill of swing. Like many Indian bowlers. Gets Sutherland and Molineux cheaply.

 

[baggygreen man]

Now the follow on has been avoided what is the chance of Meg declaring behind then give her bowlers a crack at the Indians in the twilight zone.

 

[baggygreen man]

Meg does declare on the point of dinner. The Aussie brains trust have also worked out this is our only chance to stay in the contest.

 

[baggygreen man]

Hard to watch some of this amateurish bowling. Offering India easy runs. Where is the discipline.

 

[Eelectrica]

India should declare with 50 overs to go and try for the win.
No way we're risking the game going for it.
