Sunday.
Australia v. England.
Hagley Park Christchurch, 11am AEST.
Women's ODI World Cup Final.
-
23 YIPPEE!!!
This, from Cricinfo, on Healy's innings:
299 in her last two innings - the semi-final and final of the World Cup. And that takes her into first, all-time, for the most runs scored by any player at a Women's World Cup - 509 (just nudging out Rachel Haynes, who held the record for a few minutes today with her 497 for this tournament). She's the first woman to get more than 500 runs in a single World Cup tournament.
The Australian batting record for this World Cup is stunning:
Mooney 330 runs at an average of 110
Haynes 497 runs at an average of 62.12
Healy 509 runs at an average of 56.55
Lanning 394 runs at an average of 56.28
Perry 163 runs at an average of 54.33.
It was crazy-good watching her, when she took the hand-brake off. She was like a volcano - she kept increasing the pressure and upping the rate until she couldn't accelerate any more and eventually collapsed in on herself.Healy has played many cracking innings in her life, but this one is right on top, in the World Cup final and her second one in a row. Her attacking intent as soon as Charlie Dean came on was clear: attack, attack and attack. She came down the track often, she rocked back to cut and drive, she scooped as well, she drove down the ground, and she bisected the gaps as if she had herself set the fields.
