Dublin, July 23 (Ians) All-rounder Heather Graham has been ruled out of Australia’s upcoming women’s Odi series against Ireland due to a calf strain. Cricket Australia (CA) added that uncapped allrounder Tess Flintoff will be Heather’s replacement for the three-game series.
Heather was in Australia’s squad for the Odi leg of the Women’s Ashes and retained her spot for the tour of Ireland as a replacement for pacer Megan Schutt, who has gone back home after the end of the multi-format trip to England.
“Graham will remain with the Australian team in Ireland to commence her rehabilitation before returning to Australia to continue this with Cricket Tasmania,” said CA in a statement.
It added that the injury also means Heather won’t take part in The Hundred in England, where she was supposed to play for the Northern Superchargers. Tess, on the other hand, had recently...

Southampton, July 17 (Ians) On retaining the Women’s Ashes after a three-run win over England in the second Odi at the Ageas Bowl, Australia captain Alyssa Healy commended her team’s pride and conviction in themselves of winning the key moments in the match.
Australia’s thrilling victory at Southampton sees them lead 8-6 on points and retain Women’s Ashes despite losing their last three white-ball games in the series and Nat Sciver-Brunt hitting an unbeaten 111 in the second Odi. But Australia’s ploy of playing four spinners meant they were able to restrict England to 279 in a chase of 283.
“We pride ourselves to win key moments. We came here to win the Ashes and we’ve retained them, it’s exciting and huge congratulations to the group for getting it done. Nat Sciver-Brunt played a pretty incredible innings. I thought she was going to take it away from us in the end.

Melbourne, March 29 (Ians) Teenage batter Phoebe Litchfield has been rewarded for her recent white-ball form by winning a place in Australia’s 15-player squad for their Ashes tour of England.
Australia will play one Test match, three T20Is and three ODIs in the multi-format women’s Ashes series, to be held in England from June 22. The Meg Lanning-led have held the women’s Ashes since 2015 and won by 12-4 margin in 2021/22 at home.
Litchfield, the 19-year-old batting prodigy, who caught attention by hitting back-to-back half-centuries in her first two ODIs against Pakistan in January, is the only addition to the Australian squad who secured a record-extending sixth T20 World Cup title in South Africa in February.

Cape Town, Feb 24 (Ians) Following a tight five-run win over India in the first semi-final of 2023 Icc Womens T20 World Cup, Australias left-arm spin all-rounder Jess Jonassen said the side being on the right side of the result showed their resilience and belief within the group.
By stopping a stern counterattack from Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Australia managed to seal their place in the Women’s T20 World Cup final for the seventh consecutive time by restricting India to 168/7 in response to their 172/4 at the Newlands Cricket Ground.
“Alyssa Healy brought us together and was saying there’s a few people who may have thought that we coasted through the group stage in the World Cup, but today’s (Thursday’s match) effort proved that we could get the job done, whatever way.
We had our backs against the wall, we were down and out for a large part of that bowling innings.

Cape Town, Feb 23 (Ians) Australia captain Meg Lanning has won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the first semi-final of the 2023 Icc Women’s T20 World Cup at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town on Thursday.
Hours before the semifinal, India’s fast-bowling all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar was ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with an upper respiratory tract infection, with Sneh Rana named as her replacement in the squad. There were concerns over Harmanpreet Kaur’s availability due to fever but is now fit to play in the semi-final.
After winning the toss, Australia’s captain informed that left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen and fit-again Alyssa Healy have come into the playing eleven in place of Alana King and Annabel Sutherland.

Cape Town, Feb 22 (Ians) As expected, India have made it to the semifinals of 2023 Icc Womens T20 World Cup in South Africa. But to get their ticket to the final, scheduled on February 26, they must overcome the challenge in the form of mighty Australia in the first semi-final of the competition on Thursday.
Australia, also the defending champions, head into the semi-finals as firm favourites, especially with a 3-2 upper hand over India in Women’s T20 World Cup matches. Moreover, Australia got the better of India in the 2020 T20 World Cup final and Commonwealth Games gold medal match last year.
Australia had also won a five-game T20I series in India 4-1, apart from a warm-up match victory earlier in the month. But they will be wary of India’s giant-killing instinct, a glimpse of which was seen when they secured a thrilling super-over victory in the second game...

Mumbai, Dec 14 (Ians) Star all-rounder Ellyse Perry (47 off 75), Grace Harris ( 41 off 18) and a disciplined performance with the ball guided Australia Women to a convincing 21-run win in the third T20I against India and a 2-1 lead in the five-match series at Brabourne Stadium, here on Wednesday.
Batting first, Australia posted 172 for 8 in 20 overs. In reply, India were restricted to 151 for 7 despite a 41-ball 52 by Shafali Verma.
Chasing a challenging total, last game’s star performer Smriti Mandhana struggled to get going before she got out to Darcie Brown for 1 off 10. After her wicket, Shafali and Jemimah Rodrigues struck regular boundaries to maintain the required run-rate.
Rodrigues (16) struck three fours off Annabel Sutherland but couldn’t continue longer and got out to Brown in the 5th over. Shafali, who was dropped by Ashleigh Gardner off Megan Schutt, helped India to 41/2 at the end of the powerplay.

Manchester, Aug 14 (Ians) Australia leg-spinner Alana King paid a fantastic tribute to the legendary Shane Warne in epic style, claiming the first-ever hat-trick in women’s edition of The Hundred, propelling her team Trent Rockets to defeat Manchester Originals by 43 runs.
Apart from finishing with figures of 4/15 from 20 deliveries, Alana took a spectacular diving catch and was also handy with the bat in hand, scoring 19 from just nine balls as Manchester’s chase of 120 was ended at 76.
Alana began by castling Cordelia Griffith (12). She then trapped Sophie Ecclestone for duck and clean bowled Kate Cross yet again for a duck to complete a spectacular hat-trick. She could have bagged four wickets in four balls if the Trent Rockets had gone for the lbw review against Ellie Threlkeld.
After the match ended, Alana hoped that Warne, the legendary leg-spinner who died in March this year, was looking down and feeling proud...

It’s the end of an era. The CW’s seemingly-immortal Supernatural is reaching the finish line with its upcoming fifteenth season. The horror-infused show following the monster-hunting adventures of brothers Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) is the last series still on the air that began on The CW’s forebear The WB, which closed in 2006. As of season 15’s finale, it will have aired a historic 327 episodes, which makes it the longest-running sci-fi/fantasy series in U.S. television.
As you might expect, then, this news comes with an outpouring of grief on social media. A huge reason why Supernatural has lasted so long is because it has an intensely loyal and devoted fanbase who’ve followed it through its highs and lows, the multiple deaths and resurrections and that Scooby-Doo episode. And here’s just a smattering of the reactions from fans on Twitter.
