Yeah she was rare mix of Talent ability and mental fortitude in a Indian Women's player.

I watched her in that CWG final as well.  She looked a cut above the rest of Indian players in sheer skill and ability.  I admired her for that knock.  It was just awesome and only our bad luck that we ended on losing side.

 

Purely based on eye test I haven't seen anyone of her ability in Indian side.

Even her washed up version 

 

Richa Ghosh has brute power and that's good but damn that finnese and gift of timing with that power is what made Harman different.

Jemima has the attitude. But she doens't have power. Her career strike rate is impressive 88. Only Smriti (89) and Richa (102) have better strike rate than that.

Taking it deep?

 

Yes. definitely instruction. India is a batter light. SO they are not taking risks. Also INdia has collapsed 3 times in this world cup so far. Against Australia India was all set for 360. Then they lost 6 wickets for 36 runs

More like 2017 women's world cup final  India vs England. India was 191/3 chasing 228.  Then they collapsed to 219.

These two should bat till 45th over for India not to mess it up.

This is another tossiya WC. Only Aussies are immune to that, they will score 50-100 runs above par and bury you under scorecard pressure. 

[vvvslaxman]

That looks not out. may be borderline.

Dean dishing out pies and getting wickets 

[nitinbwj]

Stupid umpire was very fast to raise the finger.  

[Gollum]

Come on, you can't give that out, poor umpiring. 

[vvvslaxman]

phew.... edge!!

[Gollum]

Has been an enjoyable chase till now. Beautiful batting conditions, get this home girls 

[Vickydev]

Does Smriti's stance and backlift remind anyone of Shivam Dube

[vvvslaxman]

I am glad Ronak responded "it was an innocuous decision" from umpire lol

lol No dude. She is modern day Ganguly.

[Gollum]

Best case scenario is Aussies finishing 1st, us 2nd or 3rd. Then Aussies will play SF in Colombo where they can be taken down by Eng/RSA/NZ, in a rain affected game or courtesy opponent spinners.

My worry is collapses.  

[vvvslaxman]

Smriti is playing agianst her nature i presume. Commend her for that.

[putrevus]

Look at their left arm spinner and compare it Charani.Her action is so classic and is so consistent.

 

Look at the body  behind Dean's action, she is getting so much purchase .Any offspinner would be proud to have her action.
