I might have dodged a bullet with Mooney, after she retires in the first over with a dicky knee

Picking van Niekirk may cost me

don't ask her to run and stop a bus for you

seemingly

where on earth has that new Australian cricketer Kim Garth come from? I didn't see her name on the squad lists anywhere. Maybe she's a last minute replacement for Dottin?

Serves Gujarat right for dropping my girl Wareham. They brought Sutherland in instead and not only did she fail with the bat, she threw away the match with her last over by failing to defend the 19 runs required off it. Now perhaps Gujarat will stop being so blooming silly and get my girl back into the side

I'm coming to the conclusion that the scoring for the women may be a little out of date.

The days of one side scoring 120 and the other being skittled for 89 appear to be long gone. Scores of 200 are becoming more commonplace than in the mens game, although these grounds might be tiny for all I know. Still, there were some very good scores in the world cup last month too.

It might be time to score the mens and womens matches using the same scoring rules

If anyone has seen any of these matches, let me know if they're playing on grounds the size of a 5-a-side football pitch
