Australia certainly restricted India to singles after they got the seemingly dangerous Verma out for 29 of bugger all balls.
Seems to be an easy target. But we’ll see.

I’m not really happy with this run in and not release tactic. Second time used tonight, a muted mankad in some ways.

Australia get there in the end thanks to brilliant knocks from Rachel Haynes and Meg Lanning.
The Nine network is only showing the games the Aussie women play, it seems. Disappointing, to say the very least.

There’s a leggie from one of the countries, not NZ/Aus/Eng, she gives the ball a shed load of flight, loved watching her bowl for the short time I was watching.

It’s raining in Sydney. Unlikely to stop any time soon. Thailand scored 150 against Pakistan putting themselves in a Very Good Position, but play was abandoned due to rain.

If it remains washed out each team gets a point and therefore the Jarpies will go through to the semis.
It’s been raining in Sydney most of the day, but it isn’t at the moment (according to the radar) SA v Aus game has been delayed due to the rain. Lets hope they can get the field cleaned up very quickly.
Today’s first game was abandoned without a ball bowled. India will go to the final. England is eliminated.

5th over, Australia 0-29 (Healy 18*, Mooney 10*)
That was glorious! Beth Mooney leans into one and strikes it smoothly to the boundary on the off-side for four.
No run off the second ball, but Mooney clips the next ball short on the off-side for a quick single.
WICKET! That was a solid ball from Khaka, but Healy tries to clip it over the field but only hits it to mid-wicket. She’s out for 178, Australia 1-34!
Out comes skipper Meg Lanning…

The rain has stopped. Just doing some quick calculations on the back of a toilet roll.
I’d say there should be 13 overs with 98 as the revised target.

Well, they could have had reserve days for the semis.
But they cost would have been a factor. They’d have to book staff for the stadium and security and all that. People expect money even just for being on-call for a day and not being able to plan anything else.

Now, Mr V…… We’ve discussed this “rope inside the fence” issue before. That (at the MCG) is NOT a WHS issue to stop you running into the fence. The “rope” is miles inside the fence, and it’s also got a fence around it as well.

The womens games often have the rope in much more than the men. For the mens game it was an OH&S thing.

It’s not to reduce the risk of players running into the fence – it’s to reduce the risk of head-first diving into the fence.

They are probably some special no-injury designed fence. Not like the old fences.
I think it was Ricky Ponting who got injured, broken ankle or lower leg or something sliding into the fence, which prompted the chance from fence to rope. The players union kicked up a fuss.

In my childhood cricket was always played with tennis balls. Until I reached high school and they used those horrid hard balls. I thought: “Stuff this for a lark”, and never returned to cricket.
