They’ve shut up shop go for the win.

A couple of ramps should do it for the poms.

 

[hineyrulz]

Surely field has to come up?? 6 on the boundary ffs.

 

[Sphagnum]

Smart ball to end. Absolute lolly but she didn’t fall for it.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol, ahh straya. Least they managed to get a draw

 

[hineyrulz]

What a game!! Shame about the tactics but as Aussies we should be used to it.

The Poms gave it an almighty crack kudo’s to them. Got more balls than their male counterparts.

 

[Bazal]

Great match. Great work from both teams to get so close to a result in pretty much a 3 day match, too.

 

[simmo1]

Great game. I know it probably got a bit close for comfort for Australia, but seeing as they nearly got home, I hope this encourages teams to be a bit more aggressive with their declarations.

 

[Twizzle]

loved this test match but seriously, why was it not a 5 day test match, we should have got a result either way

Fantastic game even with the rain with all 3 results in the mix deep into the final day.

Can't believe they only play one test.

More T20's weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Valheru]

3 T20s and 3 ODIs are completely reasonable, just have 3 tests as well.

Who knows. Perhaps it’s fashionable like the skirts they used to play in all those years ago. Hopefully it changes soon.

The reason why women's tests are 4 days as opposed to 5 is that traditionally they have been able to bowl more overs in the day then men due to shorter bowling run ups, more spin bowlers etc. The minimum overs per day is 100 rather than 90 which gives you 400 over 4 days as opposed to 450 over 5 days.

Compare it to Sheffield Shield where there is 96 overs a day or 384 overs.

A result still should be possible if you don't fart arse around or bat negatively.

Rain happens, unless we get money to cover every ground in Australia (hopefully @baggygreen man is continuing this plan) then that's life.

Ashes continues today at 2pm ODI

We win, we retain the ashes

 

[TheParraboy]

Mooney to the rescue once again
Aust 7/190 - 48 overs
Mooney 60no

Poms will be chasing small total around 200

Series should be level after tonight

 

[_snafu_]

You would think England will knock these runs off by the 35th over.

 

[TheParraboy]

210 to win
Mooney out on the last ball 73

 

[TheParraboy]

Starting to crumble a bit for the poms

3/39 in the 11th over

 

[Twizzle]

poms struggling a bit

 

[AlwaysGreen]

PB using his powers for good for once.
