I'm baffled as to what's just happened in the Woman's T20 against Australia.
The last ball of the over is on leg stump. The batsman sweeps to leg and is given out LBW. The ball went down to long leg.
The batsman was given out but reviewed. On review it was found that she'd hit the ball and wasn't given out.
By the umpire making a mistake it cost England 2 runs.
MCC need to look at this rule
^^ This has happened before, once a decision has been made the ball is dead, so any runs made don't count. It's a flaw in the review system.
I would like to think that even if the England Women lose the Women's Ashes series, I feel they have performed better than the men's team sometimes, and I also feel they shouldn't be too disappointed wirh their overall performances.
6-6 with two matches to go.
England can't afford to lose either.
Three wins on the spin have levelled matters.
The latest by 2 wickets this evening.
Have to say - T20s aside - this series was as good - in terms of the quality of cricket played - as we would see from any men's equivalent!
Tammy Beaumont finally made her 100th T20 appearance in Dunedin, after being stuck on 99 for 2 years.
England posted a competitive 160-4, with skipper Knight top scoring with 63. Dunkley made 32 & Bouchier finished 43 not out.
Captain Bates scored 65 opening the innings, & Halliday made 27 not out, Lauren Bell removed opener Gaze in the 1st over & returned to dismiss Bates to finish with 2-29 as the Kiwis came up well short on 133-5 as England ran out winners by 27 runs.
England are playing Pakistan in a t20.
It probably the worse batting performance that I've seen from the women's team.
They were at one time 11-4...
^^ A great fightback by England, who scored 100 runs in the last 10 overs to post a par 163-6. Pakistan started strong, but from 50-1 after 5 overs they were bowled out for 110 in the 19th over.
