rusty<p>Whoa! Over on BBC Sport English fans are sticking knives into their women's <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cricket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cricket</span></a> 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. </p><p>Having watched the whole <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WAshes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WAshes</span></a> 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? </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/womensashes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>womensashes</span></a></p>
rusty<p>I"ve never really watched the Australian women's <a href="https://aus.social/tags/cricket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cricket</span></a> team much before, but I'm converted. The men can step aside, the women's side rocks! <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/WAshes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WAshes</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Womerns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Womerns</span></a>'Ashes</p>
rusty<p>Well, England really have folded into a heap. Really kills the series, England's poor showing. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Cricket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cricket</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WAshes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WAshes</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WomensAshes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomensAshes</span></a></p>

(gobsmacked)<p>This has been a wild match. Some early major wickets taken by England, but the amazing Ash Gardiner and the middle order have rescued the innings and are giving England a total that will be a definite challenge on this pitch.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AUWvENW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AUWvENW</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AUSvENG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AUSvENG</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WAshes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WAshes</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ashes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ashes</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cricket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cricket</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/@_hypocaust/113841271505512911" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.world/@_hypocaust/113</span><span class="invisible">841271505512911</span></a></p>
