    They'd have wanted 10 to 20 more, but with their bowling attack, in these conditions, I think that's alright.

    That has to be one of the worst PP’s in the history of white ball cricket.

    The only good thing about this horror show is the amount of swing on offer. That's a good sign for later.

    Just a shame about the impact it's having now.

    And this is why I don't watch women's cricket. For a final to be this **** is ridiculous.

    If you were an Oval Invincibles' womens supporter, and a Saints supporter, you would still expect Southern Braves to turn this around...

    So ban women's cricket ? Take it off tv / radio ?

    What chance have they got . If the braves were winning would you be saying the same thing ?

    I just don't find it entertaining. Tried it, don't like it. Same with woman's football. I'm not saying ban it, I'm just saying I don't find it entertaining.

    To be fair, the men’s eliminator last night was equally one-sided and only lasted 160 balls. At least this one is going the distance, more or less.

    Congrats Oval. In bowler friendly conditions, the best bowling side easily win.

    Fingers crossed that continues later!

    OK fair enough. I'm not into it either .

    I just thought your comment was a bit OTT

    That's the trouble with the Internet I suppose.

    Not massively upset with being put in. If we can get a good score we can really put them under pressure with our bowling attack.
