This wasn’t meant to be unkind. About a year ago #Bouchier looked class. Stylish - much more so than #Bouchier - & a ‘natural’. She won’t have lost all of those qualities. But she will have to dig deep & produce.

Feel for #Bouchier, a little. Looked intense & strained from the start. Has slogged badly & timed nothing. Lucky to have survived more than a few balls. Commentators talking pressure. Disastrous Ashes left its mark? Probably.
#Eng #India #cricket
#Ashes / #WAshes pressure. #Glenn joins the list of players who look all over the place. Would it be harsh to stick all of #Filer #Beaumont #Bouchier #Kemp on that list?
Who, in fact, has played up to form, for #Eng?

#Schutt’s first two balls. *Smack on* inswingers.
But WTF is #Bouchier doing??? Incredible that she could pick out the fielder in the deep. Incredible. Dropping offence.

Concerns, ahead of #Aus #Eng?
* Our lot looked like they’d never seen away-swing. #Garth was outstanding but made mincemeat of #Beaumont, #Bouchier & troubled #Knight etc.
* Nerves & bad decision-making are simply not easy to cure.
* Aus are - yaknow - better & mentally stronger. Unless...
#WAshes
#Garth gets #Bouchier. Deservedly. Good bowling: batter befuddled by Ashes nerves.

Big inswinger. #Bouchier wooden at the crease. Chops on, first ball. It’s a no ball!!

Bouchier and Sciver-Brunt's centuries lead England to success in Bloemfontein

Bouchier shines with a debut century, leading England's charge in Bloemfontein
With Cross sidelined by back pain, MacDonald-Gay steps in for his first Test appearance

Felt like she had a fairly mixed shorter-format series but #Bouchier has always looked like she has quality. This is a quality knock: fixes her in #Ashes side.
One or two poor moments of non-communication with #Beaumont but this has been good.
She has 43 not out, with #Eng on 75 for 1.

Pretty scandalous misfield at the boundary, from #Hlubi. Then #Bouchier drives #Dercksen nicely to bring up 50 for no loss. So #Eng going well. (That #Beaumont Moment getting bigger by the over)...
#SA #women’s international #cricket
Not always in command but #Beaumont & #Bouchier spanking everything half-volley length to the boundary.
38 for 0 after 8, #Eng.
Oof. Then great first over from #Dercksen: no joy.

Hellova catch to remove #Bouchier, who struck the ball more cleanly, today but then drove high at mid-off. #Eng in command at 61 for 1. #Dunkley and #WyattHodge must surely look to see this out? Otherwise, a limited success?
#SA #women's international #cricket
#Bouchier and #Dunkley both failed again, with the bat, at a time when they will know that they need to show us something. Something consistent. Something compelling.
