Ex-England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWest Indies have got to exploit the bounce here. West Indies have a very special coach with them - Courtney Walsh is here, so I expect the seamers will get some good advice from him.
Thai 2-0published at 1 over
A dinky late dab gets Nattaya Boochatham off the mark, before Natthakan Chantham goes fiddling outside the off stump. That's a better line from the bowler.
Oh, and again! Back to back plays and misses to end the over. Just a bit of extra bounce there for Chinelle Henry...

Ex-England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialThere doin't seem to be any nerves around the Thai girls at all.
Thai 1-0published at 0.1 overs
On to the back foot hops Natthakan Chantham, and she cracks the first delivery away off the bottom half of the bat for a single.
Thailand are up and running!

By the looks of it, Chinelle Henry will open the batting for West Indies, with Natthakan Chantham to face it.
This is such a huge moment for Thailand. Here we go...

Ex-England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWest Indies will be a difficult team to beat here for the Thai girls. You're playing on one of the world's best grounds against a team who has won the competition - I'm not sure they'll get past 100.

West Indies have a final huddle on the edge of the boundary, high-fiving each other as the Thailand openers make their way out to the middle.

Ex-England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialI'd have bowled first, there's a bit of moisture in the air. I've had a look at the pitch, even though I wasn't supposed to! The pitch looks a lot different to yesterday's game we saw in Sydney.

Ex-India seamer on BBC Test Match SpecialI would have thought Thailand would have gone with their stronger suit, which is bowling. But if they can put 100-plus on the board, they can fall back on their bowling. It's a positive move.

I brought a jacket out today because it looked a bit grey and rainy.
I basically forgot I was in Australia. It's WARM.

Hello from Perth!
Saturday morning, warm weather, a World Cup on your doorstep... and there are not a lot of people here. I suspect it'll fill up as the day goes on.

Poonam the star of the showpublished at 06:40 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2020
Poonam Yadav was India's player of the match yesterday with 4-19, was denied a hat-trick by a dropped catch behind the stumps, and was denied a fifth wicket when she was no-balled for a double-bounce. Something that's happened to a few of us in recreational cricket...

Look how excited Somnarin Tippoch was at the toss!
