This has snuck up on us. Me, at least - with the CWC on, and being away.
I first look at the score with Aus needing 20 runs, England needing 3 wickets, overs aplenty remaining. Tight.

Disappointing end, for England, Brunt bowling wide to the boundary with 5 needed by Aus.
Looks like a very exciting match to start the series. Go Aus.

I knew nothing about this, yet I know everything about the Women's World Cup
FTECB should have promoted it more by advertising it to the 40 or 50 million people who subscribe to Sky Sports
oh wait!

and all out for 75 runs.
I think it is a couple of weeks until the one off test, but England are right behind it now. A draw in the test (and I don't think they happen too often in Women's tests) and the Ashes have been retained.
Aus are keen to win, not just retain, the Ashes though. They were very disappointed at losing all the T20s to only tie the series, after guaranteeing the retention of them, last time around.

Just saw this stat grab on Cricinfo:
Tests: 7 matches, 432 runs at 61.71; 30 wickets at 17.33
ODIs: 103 matches, 2748 runs at 51.84; 134 wickets at 26.13
T20Is: 102 matches, 951 runs at 27.17; 100 wickets at 19.19
(Ellyse Perry)
Imagine how much in demand this cricketer would be if she was male.

After that cleanup of the ODIs , Australia will be understandably confident re the Test Match. Don't know what has happened to the England women ? Even if the 75 all out is just a bad hair day , they seem to have dropped off rather dramatically lately - especially the bats...

Is it a drop of from England, or is Woman's cricket improving and England has yet to take the next step?
