Let’s start with the ups… Our brilliant T20 women defeated host nation South Africa yesterday morning to sail through to the World Cup semi-finals. And yes, we’re the top-ranked team and tournament favourites, but it still feels good with our top players firing and those needing to find form, like Tahlia McGrath, hitting the mark. And we won yesterday’s match without opening batter/wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy – she’s injured but expected to return on Saturday. And that’s where the joy ends… Our men’s Test team was whacked by India again, going down to the hosts by 6 wickets after a batting collapse where we lost 9 wickets for 52 runs. The thumping victory means India retains the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, leaving the Aussies searching for answers about their misadventures with the bat. With more than a week off and 3 matches in the series to go, it’s back to the nets…
