Looks like end of the line for the women...to many missed chances while in the field

Things ent looking too rosy for the WI there. They gave up a lead albeit a fairly small 78 runs but batting last I feel anything around 200+ will be difficult for them to get.

India Australia washed out this morning. Woke up thinking I would get to see some action before heading out.

Probably, the turn today was sharp. Even Warrican looked dangerous and nobody on that side could bat spin to a comfortable degree

Shakes, yuh real hopeful there yuh know.

It was a 2-0 defeat in the 2 test match series against Bangladesh.

It was the first time Bangladesh won a test by an innings.

WI created history AGAIN (Powell did in the 1st test by being the first opening batsman in test history to be stumped for a golden duck) by being the first test playing nation to have their first 5 batsmen all BOWLED.

Great is the P ... err ... sorry mods ...Dave Cameron and his selected coaches and players for the WI.

In a WC played on favourable batting pitches (subcontinent) I wouldn't give them a chance. In a WC played in England in early summer definitely no.

If they are going with that crew (I really cannot call them a team) that Bangladesh and India just massacred, they might as well be snowballs in hell with similar chances of survival.

NO! They do not have the mental fortitude to win.

What other crew they have? If we look at the stats when they had Bravo, Gayle et al the win percentage wasn't really much higher. The chance to have a one off upset was increased but overall they didn't win any more.

Good win to level series.....I often wonder tho....if teams do this to ensure spectator turn out throughout series and to maximise profitability ? Whether it's Australia, England, WI, India etc etc. I think if the series is won too early , ticket sales drop drastically ?

What y'all think ?

Premchand...arent u the same guy who was fighting it down for the cpl when we suggested it was all.about ticket sales....

I don't think so...especially when Aussies, England and India(especially India) involved....just have a look at the ongoing India series....no matter the outcome of the series(even if determined up front after a couple games) stadium will be filled...On the first day of the boxing day test match, place be ram crammed...I already reserved my seat in front the TV for this test match
