I dont think its lack of passion, its inhibition caused by years of facing medium paced seamers on soft green wickets.

| Quote GT="GT"To be fair, it is a pointless, tinpot trophy taking place before the biggest event in cricket, nay the biggest sporting event of the year. I'd struggle to show any passion and enthusiasm for it as well. Hell, I've not even been bothered about watching the damned thing.
Save the complaining until we fail miserably in something meaningful.'"
Had England won it would hardly have been a "pointless, tinpot trophy". As they are out of it and were rubbish throughout then........

Just seen the result on the BBC. That's a very, very big total to chase down in the women's game, even at Taunton. Given we were 43-2 as well, that's even more of an accomplishment.

| Well that was a cracking match in the 2nd woman's semi final between England v Australia
Australia made 163 - 5 in there 20 overs
England made it for the lose of 2 wickets with 3 balls to spare mainly thanks to a partnership of 122 from 75 balls Claire Taylor 76no and Beth Morgan 46no
Which now brings a repeat of the woman's ODI world cup final with New Zealand

| I nearly switched off after 10 overs of England's innings, thought we were well out of it. Great knock by Taylor.

To be fair mate, GT's opinions on this competition (and the domestic version) have been clear from the start.
The fact that England didn't play well has absolutley no relation to the Ashes.
The truth is though, this version of the game can make players very, very rich, so some players may see performing well in T20 more importantly than some England followers.
Well done to the ladies. The fact that my sister has the same name as the best female cricketer in the world never fails to amuse me. The, now customary, "Good knock 'r kid" text has been sent. She hates cricket, in fact she hates all sports, so does not see the funny side.

| If the women win the final that will be 2 world cups in a few months,surely they'll be the team of the year in the BBC sports awards later on this year.

Agreed.
We didn't lack effort or passion, we lacked runs and big hitters in the middle-lower order.
Our whole tournament was summed up from about over 11 until we had batted 19.4 overs against the West Indies in the Super Eights when we hadn't hit one boundary in that period!
Simply not good enough in this form of the game.
