Interesting series between Zim and Afghanistan at the moment. Afghans got rolled in the first test by 10 wickets, now crushing the Zimbo bowling attack and declaring on day two at 545/4.
Pitch could be a road, though, Zim are 50/0 in reply. I've got half an eye on this as love the Afghan team. They overcame massive odds to fight their way to international status

I didn’t even realise Mark Waugh had test status

So no- one watching the Chick Caps?
Crowd seems to have gone home too.
Anyways Aus 38-3 ... make that 44-3 (Aus chick finds the rope!!) In the 9th, chasing 131
No one was watching the men deal to Bangladesh. I don’t think the women are particularly high on anyone’s list of priorities.
I don’t think I’m sexist, in fact I know I’m not but I truly couldn’t give two fucks.

Me neither, but for some reason I'm watching.

@booboo ... and that's all she wrote
I watch it if I can - but as I wrote elsewhere, the standard was pretty poor, particularly in the field. Simple catches being dropped consistently.
Catches win matches. We had a golden opportunity to deal to Aus, and threw it away (or shelled it, depending on how bad dad joke you want to go)

I can't say I watch every game, but what I have seen of the White Ferns this summer adds to my "flat track bullies" impression of them on the whole. There were some great individual domestic performances this summer, but they get put into perceptive once the White Ferns come up against any international team ranked above them. Perhaps we need more depth in the domestic game.

The Ferns look half a team with some making up the numbers - if the big guns don't fire, there isn't much else and with Bates out, that's a lot of pressure on Devine and Satterthwaite. And lots of dobblies, it's like Larsen and Harris all over again.
In my insomniac time last night, there was an exciting conclusion to the India v England ODI series made exciting by India shelling some absolute sitters. I thought the fix might be in, it was so bad ....

Just a typical Kiwi international cricket team then?
