Guerilla Roundup Women's Ashes...
Whoa! Over on BBC Sport English fans are sticking knives into their women's #cricket team. Almost seems like part of the problem, being incensed because they were comprehensively beaten by a better team. And yet, hardly any of them even mention Australia in their comments. It's like a sense of entitlement that they should've been better.
Having watched the whole #WAshes series, I wouldn't say it's a skills/talent issue so much as an attitude problem (just like the men's team). Lots of fine skills on display, but did they think it would be a walk in the park? That they just had to tun up and that was enough?
Annabel Sutherland is duly named Player of the Match for her innings of 163. Alana King's haul of 23 wickets across the series sees her named Player of the Series, and rightly so.

Australian whitewash of England and Alana King gets her much-deserved 5-for 
Congrats!!

An appropriate end to the match and the series as Filer goes caught by Sutherland (Player of the Match designate) off King (certain to be named Player of the Series) to give Australia victory by and innings and 122 runs and a 16-0 whitewash in this multi-format series. Five wickets in the innings for King, bowling leg spin from the Shane Warne Stand end at the MCG.

Filer becomes only the fifth England batter to reach double figures this innings with a four off Gardner.

The two Laurens, Filer and Bell, have now held out together for precisely 10 overs - the ninth wicket fell after 57.2 and we have now had 67.2.

Successive LBW shouts turned down, and Australia go upstairs for the second of them. Ball tracking shows the ball bouncing wide of leg and umpire Sheridan is told to stick to her original decision.

That single takes England precisely halfway to clearing the deficit. The problem is they are nine down.

A horrible ball from Gardner, but Ecclestone sends it into the air and King takes the catch. England 134-9,. Ecclestone gone for the join third highest score of the innings, 18.

Ecclestone into double figures with that four off King.

Ironically Alana King gets her fourth wicket of the innings with probably her worst delivery, a full toss which MacDonald-Gay smacks straight down the throat of Darcie Brown to make it 122-8.

Australia looking on track for 3 innings victories on the same day - Australia A, Aus Men, Aus women! #Washes #AUSvENG #SLvAUS #AUSAvLions
