ICC Women's T20 - West Indies - 2010

Looks like we may be 0-2 today. Aus Women currently snailing (*cough*) along at 5-68 in the 15th.

Wasn't that Rod Stewart??

"SNAI----LING
We are SNAI-----LING ....."

Is it late Pete? The quality of you puns is declining at a seriously fast rate.

Ooh, NZ Wimmin struggling at 4-29 after 8 overs. RRR up to 6.5 which seems to be a bit of a benchmark for the chicks in this form.

NZ Wimmin crashing. 5-37 after 11 overs. RRR now almost 8. Aus Wimmin maybe upholding the nation's honour after the Poms smacked the lads' @rse.

Yes, yes, I know, It makes me look desperate (and I am).

Good partnership building for the 6th wicket for the Snoozer Wimmin. But RRR is now 10. 5 overs to go.

I was actually thinking of the heavy melancholy undercurrent to that song ....

"Dying, we are dying ... " or something to that effect.

It seemed to match your elegiac mood of Australian sinking and decline ... (to my mind way OTT, FWIW ....)


(puns sometimes try to be deeper than a couple of words which sound vaguely similar, y'see )


But then, I am not paid very well by Dello to do this job ...... so phurt it is. .... a phurt to fill your doldrum sails, perhaps ....

And in any case, the weemen seem well ont he way to redeeming a nation's honour, as you suggested .....

(all possibly a bit too solemn for me, the old "saving the nation's face" perspective etc., when it comes to the T20 pyjama game especially ... but there ya go :p )

Dickinfo commentator getting excited:

"17.2 Perry to Browne, no run, inexplicably, Browne has left this one alone outside off stump. It was full and a little wide, but the leave was never on, especially with almost two runs needed every ball

Snoozer chicks now 6 down with 2 overs to go and needing 29. Do they have a hussey in their ranks?

Nice to see this match being given pride of place at the end of the tournament. It's obviously the most important match. Who cares what happened in the curtain raiser?

Ellyse Perry has 3-8 off 3 and will bowl the last over, with Snoozer chicks needing 14, after a couple of hefty swipes (4 and 6 off balls 5 and 6 of the 19th).

NZ still in it but.

Excellent fielding off the 5th and 6th ball winning the Aussies the match.

Ellyse Perry keeps it to 10 off the last over and Aus Wimmin win by 4 runs.

Well done them.

Well done the Sheilas...

Where's the bass?

Or possibly where's the organ? But don't answer that ....

You're the ferkin Moderator. Add some more emoticons to the ones you've added recently.

This is best I can do from the current lot.

What's a good chant the Aussie girls can lob at the Aussie boys tonight??

Don't know if it was discussed elsewhere but

Blame the Bannies

The men were on early to suit Bannie TV

1 billion possible viewers. How many watched? 100,000 expats?

When they did the schedule I assume they didn't contemplate quite how crap the Bannies would be.

Apparently some of the pre-lim games started at 9:30am local time so they would be prime-time in Southern asia

Ah well, sucks to be them.

And congrats to the Mighty Aussie Women's t20 team. World Champions.

Oz . . World T20 champs . . . maybe Pup can join the ladies next time around . . .

Wozzat? I am no more a Mod than Dellboy is Obama!

It took you a bit long to disown that, Pete.
