ANALYSIS: Limp end to Women's Ashes Test more proof that something has to change
By lunch and a deluge on day two, Australia had faced 132 overs for 341 runs, a total skinny enough that others had to bat into the third day to put some meat on its bones. Haynes and Perry had been on rations for more than 70 of those overs.
When you look at the disjunct between all of the players' comments above and the reality we saw on the field, you wonder what the proportion of factors at play is — how much of it do they know is nonsense, how much have they convinced themselves is true, how much is media training emerging by reflex?More than the result at stake
This doesn't mean players and teams have to forfeit advantage, but there has to be some consciousness of a picture bigger than the players lucky enough to take the field on rare Test days.
