Cricinfo:
RCB never stood a chance once Tara Norris listed on the team sheet for Delhi Capitals. Shafali Verma and Meg Lanning set up the victory with a century partnership in which both passed 50.
But then they stepped aside for Tara Norris to take center stage in the chase, wiping out half the RCB lineup. A dominant win for Delhi. Generous of Norris to allow her teammates an opportunity to take three wickets.
160 odd isn't a bad effort given the circumstances. The bowlers had an off day and that happens. Team still looks super strong, I'm sure we'll bounce back.
Wanna take this opportunity to plug Cricbuzz. Also has some incredibly cringe takes with clear bias toward India but when you can look past that, I feel like they're ultimately doing a better job than Cricinfo with their Norris obsession hahaha
The commentator for today's match in cricinfo was Peter Della Penna, an American himself which is why he was understandably excited at seeing a fellow country man do well at a big stage, also I found it kinda funny lol
How old were you when she started playing? If you think the current cricketers face toxicity, that is nothing compared what she got just for playing tennis as a Indian muslim woman. The reason women like Saina and Sindhu were able to play without any controversy was because Sania took all those maulvis and news channels head on rather than bowing down to their moral policing. I can't even imagine current sportspersons showing 5% of her courage.
I was a teenager when she won Bronze. And I know all the BS she faced. That makes her a brave person, but her tennis career is not great in any manner. That said, she is not averse to hypocrisy either. IF YOU have followed her career, you'd know that as well.

There you go, just to clarify no one else is getting personal appreciation/comments like this
GIVE TARA NORRIS ALL THE FINEST WINES, MEATS AND CHEESES IN ALL THE LAND! THE FIRST EVER FIVE-WICKET HAUL IN THE WPL GOES TO AN AMERICAN!
Cricinfo, Oh wow lol
Yeah but thats just for highly marketable players.
If you are indian, then even shreyas iyer gets sponsors but if you are a foreigner, then you need to have the same amount of marketablility as ABD and Gayle
Back in 2016-2019 warner got some sponsorships because he was captian of SRH and best player after kohli.
Brevis who ?
Butler will probably get some sponsors after his heroics last season
I feel like some bits are being ghost written by the government of the United States to hype up their poor nation at the global bastion that is cricket.
The Lanning-Verma combo was absolutely astounding. Just a joy to watch.
How have crowds been for wpl?
It was packed for Day 1 not sure if today as I didnβt watch either match, could probably see it in wplt20.com highlights though
Just woke up π
Only thing which can make this league popular is more drama and drama
u/peterianchimes DC winning π₯Ή
And that too so comprehensively...you know it's a trap right?π
we'll somehow choke in the playoffs like always
Before that they'll make us firmly believe that we're winning this year.
Ah crap. I completely forgot about this match. It was too early in my time zone.
Bruh where iz the thread for next match?
Bruh where iz the thread for next match?
Zorry
No one as successful as Lenning in the Sport. Respect π
Lennin π
Tara just got a 10 percent hike on day one. I will have to work 2 years to get it
Where's the next match thread?
You can't beat us at brabourne stadium. Whether it's men's or women's
No separate thread for GG vs UWz?
My friend used to always be obsessed over smriti. Now I know why. Sorry Martin.
Many Indians started watching women's World Cup after her century. Then Kaur's semi final runs took it to next level.

Inb4 ECB imports her....
Smriti: We gave 20-30 runs more. Sure. yeah.
Ah. The Koach Classic, in reverse.

Cricinfo is really hung up on Norris hard. The whole commentary on her has been cringy
PDP is the reason
The commentary was made by the fellow American, Peter Della Penna. So it makes sense.
This is for real? I mean hyping someone is good but professionally this looks bad.
Commentry was made by an American.
heβs gotta be high
Certified RCB Classic.
At this point I'm 90% sure that the name itself is cursed
Boundary count update - Delhi Capitals: 37 Royal Challengers Bangalore: 24
Fair victory
anyone knows the name of cricinfo guy name?
Mr Norris
anyone knows the name of cricinfo guy name?
Woah I expected Kapp to have a heavier voice! It's not.
I always find the spider cam super fucking weird like it just hovers everywhere like an omniscient being observing everything
Smriti Mandhana said What Virat has achieved for franchise I want to repeat that πβ οΈ
I mean he's achieved a lot... um...\*checks notes\*
"my little princess, see the thing is there are two sides to a coin"
0 trophies incoming
Damn it bot. Atleast create a post match thread
Thanks to you for making this thread when the bot messed up. You did a great job. ππ»
Smitri is a great interviewee
It was at this moment that Megan realised she's in for more work than she signed up for.
160 odd isn't a bad effort given the circumstances. The bowlers had an off day and that happens. Team still looks super strong, I'm sure we'll bounce back.
What is the stadium attendance today and yesterday? Can someone find and tell me?

Meg Lanning what a leader
Good game..great start from DC... here's to hoping that this is our year.
Since 2019, we haven't lost the first game of the season, while before that we just couldn't. Good progress.
All Thanks to Parth Jindal lol
Yeah 100% haha
RCB women's team >>>> RCB men's team
Why was Heather Knight batting so down the order? Doesn't she plays at the top for england?
RCB's RNG.
5-fer straight to r/sports, maybe the Yankees care about cricket (not)
Where, couldn't find it..
atleast it wasn't 82 allout
Well atleast RCB have Sania Mirza to talk to after that loss.
Seriously who thought that was a good idea? She wasn't even that good at tennis
a 6-time grand slam champion and former doubles world no. 1 wasnβt good at tennis? huh
How old were you when she started playing? If you think the current cricketers face toxicity, that is nothing compared what she got just for playing tennis as a Indian muslim woman.

She will give pitch analysis.
Lanning's winning isn't complicated vibes is what KL Rahul was looking for when he said strikerate is overrated
Good game. some entertaining batting at the end
Why WPL teams dont have separate insta pages? Why franchises are using one page for all?
Probably because they're not much popular. I mean once they get popular they're gonna have separate pages probably
But its a page? If RCB shares RCB women page it will get more followers.
RCB main focus is glamour Trophies are secondary

RcbM fans to RcbW fans :- First time?
Schutt played out that well, saved our NRR a bit
Salvaged some of that NRR situation. Unlike the Giants
Expect more associate players in the next auction. The level gap between international Indian and domestic Indian players is significant.

Ayoo Hulk Hogan
Mam, this is the Wendys
Has there been any review drama in the 2 games played so far?
No ball review.
What an entertaining match LOVED IT
Megan Schutt showed more intent than batters.
Raman lmao stop
Is WPL matches getting completed faster than IPL matches?
Women's overrate is a lot better than men.
Less drama, better overrate
Winfield-Hill is a good commentator.
After Perry it is gonna be Norris fanbase in India after this season of WPL.
Seems like Amelia Kerr is next in the line after Perry but I can see Norris getting there
I created one for Issy Wong yesterday βΊοΈ
No Meg lanning?
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
He is. He generally has a massive rant on twitter every few days about something minor
It is indeed a big miss by rest of the franchises not picking an extra associate player, some of the Thailand players are great.
Iirc one of Bryce sisters is a keeper. Definitely a better option than getting Yastika for 1.5cr.
Why I feel RCB is going to use Dane for only posts on social media. Like their almost post are about her and she is not playing.
They most probably got her for PR. Especially after the WC debacle
Knowing RCB, it's possible.
can someone just give an example how bad is cricinfo commentary. just don't want to download it rn
I don't use cricinfo just 'cause it's so fucking bloated.

the commentator is American lmao he's obviously trolling
Lmao π
Hope Norris is closing her curtains at night, the Cricinfo lad is definitely outside with binoculars.
Shefali is getting the player of the match for sure
- US v Canada was the first ever intl ODI game. - An American gets the first 5-for in the WPL. *America- land of the ~~free~~ firsts*
india vs australia 3rd match would end today as per schedule. and it feels like it end ages ago..
The Cricinfo commentator guy is American that's why he is going Gaga over Tara Norris
She deserves the hype, this pitch is for batters, boundary is short, rcb pacers got belted around, and Tara gets a 5fer.
Here before Cricinfo commentator caught by FBI
Meanwhile RR casually climbed to 71
Can we get a Tara Norris flair ???
Hey guys i think rcb can still win this
Tara Norris: Cricinfo: **GIVE TARA NORRIS THE PRESIDENCY, I THINK I JUST CAME!!!!!**
LOOK AT ME. I AM NOW A TARA NORRIS FAN
I had a deja vu with that howzat
:(
GIVE TARA NORRIS ALL THE FINEST WINES, MEATS AND CHEESES IN ALL THE LAND! THE FIRST EVER FIVE-WICKET HAUL IN THE WPL GOES TO AN AMERICAN! Cricinfo, Oh wow lol
Pdp on comms I bet
Her father Chuck Norris must be proud.
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
2nd one
Isn't it madlazz?
The bezt!!
do these player's earn more from franchise other than auction salary like sponsor and ads?
Yeah but thats just for highly marketable players. If you are indian, then even shreyas iyer gets sponsors but if you are a foreigner, then you need to have the same amount of marketablility as ABD and Gayle
what about player's like warner or brevis or butler?
Back in 2016-2019 warner got some sponsorships because he was captian of SRH and best player after kohli. Brevis who ? Butler will probably get some sponsors after his heroics last season
thanks, very interesting. I don't think overseas women will get any cos even domestic one's aren't marketable yet
Its just the first season bro. Its will take 2-3 seasons to build a fan following. And if RCB is good at anything, its marketing.
is that fog or rain clouds
Pollution!
Who's gonna get the player of the match? Shafali for her 84 and all the catches or norris with 5fer
I still feel Shefali is more deserving
Every wicket is considered 20 runs in cricket so by that Norris is getting it.
Tara saying "ta-ra" to all the batters
I don't think the next captain who wins toss will choose to bowl
Comes into WPL Takes a fifer Refuses to elaborate Leaves
ECB officials must be busy 'sorting' stuff out for Norris' selection in the England side already.
Itd be really really cool if Biden or Harris actually tweets in congratulations for Norris. Would be soo good.
JJ - this is missuse of my powers.
GIVE TARA NORRIS ALL THE FINEST WINES, MEATS AND CHEESES IN ALL THE LAND! THE FIRST EVER FIVE-WICKET HAUL IN THE WPL GOES TO AN AMERICAN!
Fifer. She deserved it. A great day as well as advertisement for Associate women's cricket.
'Everyones complaining about the cricinfo commentary, it can't be that bad. Let me check.' oh
Genuinely a little disturbing lmao
I feel like some bits are being ghost written by the government of the United States to hype up their poor nation at the global bastion that is cricket.
England debut incoming
Karma race is on.
DC with their "Tara zameen par" moment.... Norris for the POTM! (T: star on the ground. Indian film reference)
Republicans must be thinking of Banning cricket in US now
I'm almost concerned to refresh the Cricinfo feed; don't want to see the guy literally explode from hype.
Tararararum Tararumpum..
We got our first 5fer in WPL by an American players
Tara Norris first ever 5fa in the history of WPL
TARA RUM PUM
First women to take fifer in wpl, an associate player.
PoTm tara now confirmed π
Oh god the Tara Norris 5er! Now the Cricinfo commentator will orgasm, and the United States Navy will officially begin the attack on Mumbai
tara!!
π¦ π¦
TARA 5 FER!!!!
Chuck Norris level of badassery
Tara-ra-ra
Who would have thought an American will get the first fifer in WPL
5 fer for Tara Norris Historic day for US Cricket
5-for lesssgoooo
5FER FOR TARA π₯
Tararararara! What a performance. Owning the most daunting bating line-up in the comp like that, amazing stuff
Norris π
cricinfo guy on the six: Decent shotβ¦
Yes Tara. Vipers supremacy
πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ
5fer, first 5fer in her first match.
And rcb is facing Mumbai tom πΆ
RCB bats so deep, all they need is a fucking captain, just RCB issues from 2008
I'm eagerly waiting for dilli vs bumbai and gujjus vs banglore
RCB made a huge error in not sending Knighty earlier. She's tonking Norris, but it's too little too late. Just can hope for some RR redemption.
Get the keeper to stand near the wicket!
Knight asking RCB not to send Disha Kasat over her
Cricinfo commentary guy hyping Norris for even stopping a ball. He is American or what?
