While they don't have the glaring issues of England (that seem to have little short to medium term remedy), worth noting that world #1 Australia have now failed to make the last two finals of ICC women's world events.

A refresh in leadership seems likely.

If the last 10-15 years of women's cricket seemed to develop at a dizzying rate, it will look like nothing compared with what's about to come.

If most boards don't find ways of rapidly professionalising their domestic systems, they will very quickly fade from being remotely competitive.

Also if you think the Australian era of dominance (which hasn't seen back to back ODI World Cup wins since 1988) got a bit samey, you're about to see what happens when a multi-billion dollar machine goes up against a sport in which domestic players in most nations don't have professional contracts.

Remember when everyone seemed to be complaining a couple of weeks ago there was no point in staging (or watching) Women's World Cups, because you knew who would win?

If you're unaware of Ash Gardner's issues with the short ball and history of concussion, you probably shouldn't be employed by the ICC to commentate on the semi-final of the Women's World Cup.

It perfectly sums up modern sport/business to make great play of having a UNICEF ambassador in attendance, at an event sponsored by a company whose activities United Nations experts have highlighted as being a threat to human rights.

Laura Wolvaardt has 470 runs at 62.12 in this World Cup.

If she scores 40 more in the final, Wolvaardt will break the record for most runs scored at a single edition of the Women's World Cup (509 by Australia's Alyssa Healy in 2022).
