Australia v India First Women's ODI Report Card

Baffling Over Rate Graphics
Grade: B+
I knew going into this ODI between the Australia and India women’s sides that I’d only get to see about two hours of the match. So, when Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and demanded Tahlia McGrath’s side field first, my request was simple and reasonable.
Seven wickets before I left, please, ladies. In the end, I settled for four wickets and a screenshot of the most baffling over rate graphic I’ve ever seen.
‘Innings Timer 01:60 - 10 mins behind’ - what could that possibly mean?!? I don’t know, and I may never know, but I knew I had to have it.
It’s called negotiation, people.
Daskalos Off The Short Run
Anyway, no need to worry about incomprehensible over rates when you bowl the opposition out for an even 100 in 34.2 overs.

‘Who should score the runs?’ was the spectator poll
The votes came back: ‘The new girl, young Georgia Voll’
So she led Australia’s chase,
Scored at frenetic pace
With five consolation wickets the unlikely toll
