The Women's Ashes

[Swanjaxs]

Starts tonight at midnight.
First ODI for anyone who's interested.
Tammy Beaumont to get a hundred is a good bet

 

[Swanjaxs]

Cross a big miss

Boosh got lucky there, move your feet mun...

No ball wicket off the second ball. Shame that.

That was coming, two opening batters stuck to the crease

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Decent start

No excuse for losing that second one last night. Low score to chase, benign pitch. Shambles really. 8-0 down already, only two games out of seven played and already at the “must not lose” stage.

Watched some of it in my breaks at work, basically the English girls arses went.
Another thing, some don't look fit compared to the Aussies, one or two have piled the weight on...

I just caught up with the BBC report, it’s been written up as an Oz victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.

Genuinely to the people on this thread, do you actually care? Honestly?

The standard is shocking. I just don’t understand why you’d want to watch this beyond getting progressive points.

Ate you seriously comparing men and women's sport where strength, power and speed are a factor?
I thought you had more sense than that.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Nah we don’t care really we’re just talking about it to look cool and inclusive on the internet.

Stupid fucking question.

I’m asking a fair question.

Why is watching women’s cricket of interest?

The drama of “ashes” cricket is seeing the likes of Johnson bowling 95mph bouncers on a sun baked track.

I just can’t comprehend watching a much inferior product. That’s my point.

I can sort of understand if you enjoy the “hundred” as that isn’t really cricket. But genuine test cricket I’m lost.

Surely you must see where I’m coming from? The drama is based on the “edge” and not just the athleticism but the hard edged professionalism. You won’t see the blokes laughing after dropping catches.

I know you think this is sexist. It isn’t. I simply don’t understand as fan of test cricket how you’d be interested in this series.
