Women's Ashes 2025

To be fair it was only a couple of matches ago that bouchier was piling on the runs however....knight and Jones definitely need moving on ....ecclestone dosent look fit and has been off the pace for a while, Charlie dean isn't consistent enough

ecclestone dosent look fit and has been off the pace for a while,

Alex Hartley says she's been blanked by England for suggesting that fitness might be an issue.

ecclestone dosent look fit

I was thinking this the last game, and the next thing I saw was Hartley saying she's snubbed

[Durhamfootman]

she made these comments during the world cup last year, seemingly

Ecclestone has never looked 'honed'. It hasn't stopped her becoming the best bowler in the world.

I haven't seen any women's cricket recently, so I'm in no position to judge whether fitness is an issue

I think the fitness comments are a compliment if anything. Far better than suggesting the truth.... that Australia are lightyears ahead in quality.

Poor start again from England today...Australia 43-0 midway through the 5th over...both sides unchanged

Here we go again

Voll run out much needed! Mooney is in the form of her life though

[andy]

Ecclestone gets the big wicket of mooney!

[andy]

Been disappointed with Lauren bell...she is such a talented bowler gets it to move a long way but she's been so off the boil in this series they need her to sort it and quickly

[bigfluffylemon]

Jones actually didn't stuff it up, for once. Big wicket, but Australia are still going nicely with lots of batting to go.

England really don't have the intensity or speed in the field that Australia do. At least they're taking the pace off now - at Manuka you have to do that.

[andy]

Bell has gone off the field dosent look in a good way at all....90-4 after 12

[andy]

Sutherland taking sciver brunt apart putting her foot down now

[Durhamfootman]

says something that Australia can lose Healy and Gardner and can still bring in Grace Harris at 7

England can 'channel their inner mongrel' all they want, but I don't see them chasing down 186

inner mongrel........ if they even have one, they shouldn't have waited until the series was gone before deciding to channel it

[GarlicJam]

inner mongrel........

it may have been out-mongrelled by Australia's outer mongrel
