Australia has a seriously good side. I have seen some of the se young ladies in the WBBL.

15 yo Caoimhe Bray and 18 yo Lucy Hamilton were outstanding performers in WBBL.

Chloe Ainsworth, "the bull" is seriously quick

Stay, Stacy, Stacy???????

Australia begin with huge win against Scotland

Will be rough

Samoa-Nigeria and Pakistan-USA matches abandoned without a single ball bowled.

Ireland-England: England 144 for 7 - Davina Perrin 26 (19) runout. Ireland 28-2 (3.5 ov) no result.

Guyana Amazon Warriors, bring Davina into WCPL. She is the first major graduate/representative of former England player Ebony Rainford-Brent's African-Caribbean Engagement (ACE) program. You may remember Ebony from the famous Michael Holding BLM exposition.

Ebs is a biochemist by training and a wicked drummer. Love to hear her on commentary.

West Indies play in less than five hours. Looking forward to seeing the growth of our 15 yo from two years ago, Naijanni Cumberbatch.

I thought last World Cup, she shaped up like how I imagine a young Stafanie Talor might have looked in her younger days. In other words, I think quite highly of young Ms Cumberbatch. Barbados, please help her growth as a person and cricketer.

Also looking forward to seeing how Samara Ramnath and Jahzara Claxton.

What happened to Nyia Latchman? Was she injured, not picked or aged out?

18-4 end of powerplay

39-7 (10.0)

three runouts

WI bowled out for 44 (13.2)

We need to put straight to the second tier. This lot we sent, simply cannot bat, judge a single. They don’t even understand an intermission between innings. Come out early than West Indian dew to defend 44 runs. Everything looks pathetic from the players to the management team.

In reply to Raggs

you make me laugh

India 47-1 (4.2) just before rain!

Selena Ross, left arm pacer has something to work with - height, swings ball, reasonable pace. Get her int o an academy

In reply to Fantom

5 ah them mek duck

4 ah them mek under 4

WIWU19

INDWU19 47/1 (4.2)

India Women U19 won by 9 wkts

In reply to shivnotout

WI might have to tek Raggs advice and move to second tier

In reply to Fantom

That’s minnow behaviour. Cannot bat, can’t bowl a decent length or line. Can’t even have the very basic ability of ground fielding. If Nigeria came out there performing like that you guys would laugh them off the park calling them primitive cricketers.
So West Indies were a powerhouse in world cricket been dipping since and now can’t even produce grassroot talent?
Put us in a second tier program to develop. No fun or games about that comment. If the ICC are investing money in the region expecting us to handle ourselves as full members in their organisation then what should they do with us? Be objective in your thoughts.

First three matches on deck today:

Australia - Bangladesh
Ireland - USA
New Zealand - Nigeria

Nigeria have done some things right in promoting schools cricket and attracting a good coach. Learn How Nigeria's women put West Africa on the cricketing map and at the Under-19 World Cup . Will be interesting to see their progress.

Nigeria buss dem rass!!! Win by 2 runs. Some good spinners and a fantatsic last over by pacer Lilian Ude.

Wins for Australia, USA and Nigeria

In reply to Fantom


Really good win dat

In reply to Chrissy

Will WI get to the Super6's? We have to beat Sri Lanka now to guarantee that spot or get into a shootout with Malaysia later.

Toss: Sri Lanka, will bat.

No changes to WI team. Samara says just go out and back our abilities.

Again I say, Selena Ross has some good elements to her. Need an academy spot for the youngster.

11-0 (3.0)

48-0 (6.0)

Two catches dropped, Raggs

Great bowling Selena, great catching Jahzara

Second tier, here we come! Nigeria would beat us today!

In reply to Fantom

Send dem home. Back to basic. Teach dem to play the game before sending them aboard.
Effing disgrace, utter nonsense.

In reply to Raggs

If the best we can do is send girls that ‘like cricket’ then We in big trouble

In reply to Halliwell

I watched 15 minutes of that Sri Lanka game and you could see they weren’t up to the task. They looked like a set of girls playing rounders.
I would like to be a spider on the wall to listen to top ICC personnels discussing the fact that the windies are full members and are unable to produce talent enough from the grassroots level to compete in tournaments.
Whatever money invested in the region from that sport body is not put into use in the right areas . Some people in the Caribbean are swindling off their funds.

In reply to Raggs

You are correct
They looked out of their depth

In reply to Halliwell

England v New Zealand clash.

Semi-Final place up for grabs

NZ 33-0 after 6 This umpire says ABE. Two lbw's not given.

In reply to Brerzerk

What is beautiful to watch is how thiese young bowlers relentlessly attack the stumps

Karabo gone bowled 10

44-5

Saffie # 4?Meso definitely cannot bat an average numberv8 for this tournament capo didn’t look much better

In reply to Brerzerk

Meso can bat. She actually looked better to me two years ago as a 15 yo. She should play straighter more often

Same advice to our WI women.

Player of the tournament Gongadi Trisha

I notice something across formats at all levels men’s and women’s. Too many stay leg-side of the ball even if it means trying to pierce a packed
off-side. Get behind and close to the ball. Gives option to play either side. Two on legside but fighting to beat 6 on off. Give them tapes of Kanhai, Viv and CGG
