Women are considered a distraction, not strength, Anushka Sharma and I relate to it the most: Sania Mirza

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/women-are-considered-a-distraction-not-strength-anushka-sharma-and-i-relate-to-it-the-most-sania-mirza/

Women are considered a distraction, not strength, Anushka Sharma and I relate to it the most: Sania Mirza

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza said there is ‘deeper issue’ when it comes to thinking that women can only distraction and not strength to sports stars, especially in the sub-continent.

HIGHLIGHTS

Sania Mirza said she doesn’t understand why women are only seen as distraction

Hell would have broken loose if Shoaib Malik had travelled to support me: Sania

Sania had lauded Starc for missing an ODI and travelling to watch his wife Alyssa Healy play

Tennis star Sania Mirza said there is a deeper issue in the sub-continent, especially when it comes to women being treated as a ‘distraction’ to sports stars. Sania said she is unable to understand how the wives and girlfriends of male sports stars are being blamed if they don’t perform.

Sania Mirza had lauded Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc for missing an ODI match to watch his wife and women’s cricket star Alyssa Healy at the Women’s T20 World Cup in Australia earlier this year. Sania had also said anyone from the sub-continent would have been called a ‘joru ka ghulam’ (a man tied to his wife’s apron) had he done something similar.

“Sure thing !! God forbid it would be a guy from the subcontinent, the guy would be called a ‘joru ka ghulaam’ in one second. good on you Mitchell. couple goals for sure!! (sic),” Sania had tweeted during the Women’s T20 World Cup final.

Shedding light on the tweet, Sania Mirza said sometimes humour helps bring out the truth and that she doesn’t understand how a woman can become a distraction and not a strength.

Notably, Sania Mirza had faced criticism in the past for travelling with her husband and Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik on tours. Anushka Sharma has often come under the pump for travelling with Virat Kohli during the Indian Premier League and major overseas tours.

‘Doesn’t make any sense’

Sania Mirza, speaking to India women’s cricketers Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues on YouTube show ‘Double Trouble’ said: “It (Tweet on Starc) was funny because me and Anushka probably relate to this the most. I think whenever our husbands perform, it’s because of them, whenever they don’t perform it’s because of us. I don’t know how that works.

“We are saying it as a joke but I think there is a much deeper issue. The deeper issue is that a woman can always be a distraction and not a strength. Oh ‘if you’re girlfriend is there or your wife is there, he must be distracted because he is going out for dinner’. That doesn’t even make any sense.

“When he (Starc) went back to his wife to watch the World Cup final and everybody was hailing him.

“I truly felt… I was trying to just picture Shoaib doing that for me… hell would have broken loose if that would have happened. They would have said… he is such a joru ka ghulam… he is going and watching a women’s cricket match. I just felt it. I feel humour sometimes brings the truth out.

“Anushka and I had a long conversation about it. We both were like, this is so true.”

Sania Mirza also said she had reflected on her journey, the struggles she had to face when she found success at the biggest stage in tennis. The 6-time doubles Grand Slam winner also wished Smriti and Jemimah luck, saying the World Cup title is not far away from the India women’s cricket team.

Smriti Mandhana Says "Failure Teaches You More Than Success" After India's Women's T20 World Cup Loss

Senior India player Smriti Mandhana called for the team to be left alone after its 85-run mauling by Australia in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup final in Melbourne on Sunday. Unbeaten throughout the tournament, India were outplayed in all departments of the game by the defending champions, who clinched their fifth world title in the shortest format. "This is a time to introspect. Failure teaches you a lot more than success. The team needs to be left alone and think of how we can be better in the next few years," Mandhana said after the match.A sluggish start with the ball and in the field undermined India's attempts to overhaul the defending champions in their own backyard with the support of a 86,174 crowd at the iconic MCG.Mandhana believed India are a transformed team in the shortest format, and she attributed it to head coach WV Raman."T20 was never our best format, one-day was definitely the preferred format. Now we're playing each format equally well. That is one thing the coach has helped us with and we've developed massively," she said."The youngsters coming in have totally changed the set-up and the best part of the tournament was it was a complete team performance. That's one thing Raman has done -- developing us as a team not just one or two players. Today, it didn't work out but we've grown as a team, not just as one or two players."Mandhana's disappointing T20 World Cup -- that saw her manage a top score of 17 in four innings -- continued as India sunk to 99 all out. She also revealed she told a tearful Shafali Verma to be "really proud" of her performances despite a devastating final.Teen sensation Verma was distraught after getting out for two with the bat and drooping Alyssa Healy on nine."Shafali and I were standing together when we were receiving our medals. She was in tears. I told her she had to be really proud of the kind of campaign she'd had. When I played my first World Cup at the age of 16, I couldn't hit the ball 20 per cent of what she can hit," said Mandhana."She has to be really proud of the way she played, but she was upset with the way she got out. She's thinking already how she can be better. She should be left alone, that's the most I can tell her." Read the full article

Ellyse Perry cites development of females's sport in Australia as greatest profession emphasize - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

Ellyse Perry points out advancement of ladies's sport in Australia as biggest profession highlight

Upgraded November 07, 2019 08:29:50

With a lot going on for Australian women in sport, Ellyse Perry is soaking all of it up.As a professional athlete who has actually been in the general public eye since she first broke onto the international football and cricket circuit at the age of 16, Perry has grown with all the huge advancements in females's sport and remembers what it resembled prior to it hit big-time popularity.Having simply turned 29 last weekend, and now focusing all her efforts on cricket, the elite all-rounder is among the most recognisable faces in the game-- male or female.She puts it clearly: "I play cricket.

I'm a professional cricketer and I think my job is to hopefully assist Australia win video games of cricket."Bulk of the important things that I get inquired about now is around that and the progress of women's sport. It's in a truly cool place and its so positive at the minute. "There's so many things ahead on the horizon and amazing opportunities. It's good to be a part of it. "With a few of her former Matildas teammates lastly achieving pay parity today, and a whole list of extraordinary achievements by Australian females throughout the year-- consisting of the likes of Ash Barty-- Perry says the increase of ladies's sport comes close to being the finest thing she's belonged of in her 13 years of professional sport." Having success in World Cups is a few of the greatest profession highlights that I have actually had

, however more typically speaking, the greatest highlight is just the development of the sport and being associated with this period of women's cricket, however also in females's sport in basic in Australia, where it's been a little a watershed minute."We have actually got numerous more expert female athletes in the country all of

a sudden since there is such interest in females's sport. There are people following it, there's a lot more money being invested into it and ladies are getting the opportunity to live out their dreams."So to have type of seen the other side of that, where it wasn't quite there for a variety of years, and to have actually lived that progress has been pretty incredible. "Beyond sport, Perry likes to be her own individual and plays down her superstardom with some beautiful modest reflections on her life so far.As someone who has been regularly effective for an extended period of time so early in her career, she has had a significant influence on the method ladies's sport is viewed all around the world." I'm not an especially extroverted individual. I'm quite shy and I absolutely love my job-- if you 'd call it a task-- and I like whatever that goes along with it, however I believe far from that I'm probably no more intriguing or unique than anyone else, and so I truly like just doing typical stuff, as I'm sure many people in our group do,"she said."I think also, Australians are a bit different with the method that we approach public figures, and so I never truly seem like [

the attention] is frustrating or too much to manage. "Perry has actually already been hectic with bat and ball in this season of the Women's Huge Celebration, accumulating 279 runs at an average of 139.5 in 5 matches so far this season, including smashing a record collaboration score of 199 with Alyssa Healy versus the Melbourne Stars last week.Next up for her group-- the Sydney Sixers-- is the Brisbane Heat at North Sydney Oval this Saturday afternoon.

Always going to play more aggressively than others - Healy

Always going to play more aggressively than others - Healy

The past three months have brought two firsts for Alyssa Healy, each of which have had an air of deferred inevitability about them: a maiden Women’s Big Bash League ton in January, followed by her first international century. If the WBBL ton – a 66-ball 106 against the Adelaide Strikers – in her 41st appearance in the league was a statement of intent, her 115-ball 133 against India in the third ODI took shape of a roller-coaster ride and ended up imparting a long-awaited degree of validation to her 136-match international career.

“Yeah, it was a big feeling of relief, I guess,” Healy said after Austalia’s win on Sunday. “Played a lot of cricket to not have one (century). Pretty excited to sit here with finally a hundred under my belt. And hopefully get a couple more before I pull up stumps. It’s obviously been a long six months for us. I feel lucky I have been hitting the ball well.

“It was probably just about adjusting to the conditions a little bit better and the spinners. So, yeah, obviously got off to the flier in the first game and got myself out. [I] did a lot of work to spin in the last few days. To come out today, and play positively was something I’m pretty proud of and hopefully I can take that into the tri-series.”

Even though she started off in a scratchy manner, scoring only 13 off her first 22 deliveries, Healy got her eye in and shot her strike rate over 100 by smashing 14 runs off frontline quick Shikha Pandey in the eighth over and went on to score 43 off 34 against her overall, evading two dropped catches on 23 and 125.

“I guess the pace was comfortable to me,” Healy said about the fluency she found against Pandey. “I enjoy facing spin, but with pace coming on, I feel quite comfortable with that. It was about attacking that end. I got some balls that I thought I’d like to hit and gave it a good whack. So obviously that pace change-up got us going.”

After clobbering two fours and a six in Pandey’s fourth over, Healy left the medium-pacer’s line and India captain Mithali Raj’s field placements in disarray as she cracked four fours off five deliveries off Pandey’s eighth over. First up, she backed away and slashed at a wide one that flew over Harmanpreet at mid-off. With five fielders patrolling the off-side inner ring, Healy then followed it up with a square drive off an offcutter, and slapped the next one through the cover-point region.

One ball later, Raj would push the cover fielder back, only to invite Healy to loft over mid-off again for a fourth four. The sixth delivery, a back-of-a-length offcutter, had Deepti Sharma back pedal from extra cover to chase a skier, but gave Healy her third life of the innings and another two runs to her tally.

“You need a bit of luck to make runs in cricket,” Healy said of her three chances, including a drop by Mona Meshram at deep square leg in the 20th over. “You can’t go through your career, hitting the ball along the ground and being safe.

“For me, it was probably just the luck I needed. I’ve been hitting the ball all summer, so yeah, to come out here and get a bit of luck in this series is really handy. Obviously, it helped me get there today, but unfortunately, Mona Meshram didn’t have such a great game, but I’m sure she’ll bounce back no doubt. She fielded really well, the ground fielding. So hopefully she comes back out in the T20Is”.

Despite losing opening partner Nicole Bolton in the sixth over and Meg Lanning in the 11th, Healy sustained herself for 40.2 overs without tweaking much of her approach. It is a method, she said, that is rooted in her role, which “isn’t too different” from what her game is best suited to.

“Naturally, I will take the game on. For me, it’s about choosing the right time to do that and obviously we lost the couple of wickets early but we’ve got such a great batting line-up that we know we don’t want to take a backward step when that happens. So it’s important that we keep going and keep pushing and keep manipulating the field movement. Yeah, fortunately it came off today. You build big totals by continuing with that momentum and I think we did that well today.”

Dwelling upon Australia’s much-vocal intent of posting totals in excess of 300, Healy said it was an aspect much of their pre-tour discussions had been centred on.

“It’s a goal for us to consistently hit that mark,” she said. “We did that quite comfortably in the end today. We have got so much power right down our batting order, which is really exciting. For us at the top order, it’s just about setting up the game and then let them do their thing at the bottom. The 3-0 result is something we have spoken about a lot, so yeah, really pleased.”

While stating that a deep batting order helped her stay true to her attacking approach, she also said it aided her in turning things around after a vapid performance, as was witnessed in her 37-ball 19 in the second ODI.

“Naturally, I’m a fairly aggressive cricketer. For me it’s about playing that way, having that intent all the time. When I dig myself into a hole like I did in the last game, it’s about getting out of that smartly. I’m always probably going to play more aggressively than others but yeah you’re right in saying that we’ve got such a powerful line-up that I could push a bit at the top.”

Looking back on the 3-0 scoreline, Healy, with her trademark candour, acknowledged that exacting “revenge” for the knockout defeat in the World Cup semi-final was on top of the visitors’ agenda coming into the series.

“Yeah, look, there’s a little bit of revenge there,” she said, “I won’t lie. To come out and beat them 3-0 is really special. They’ve got a really exciting, talented group of players and they showed that at the World Cup. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get over the line in the end, but they pulled our pants down in the semi-final. So for us to come out and play the way we did, play aggressively, put it back on them, I think the group is proud of that.”

Shafali Verma breaks down after T20 World Cup loss, consoled by Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol

Shafali Verma breaks down after T20 World Cup loss, consoled by Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol

Shafali Verma couldn’t control her tears as India’s campaign at the Women’s T20 World Cup ended with a crushing defeat at the hands of Australia in the final.

HIGHLIGHTS

Shafali Verma got out for 2 in the final with India managing just 99 in reply to Australia’s 184 for 4

Shafali broke down after the defeat and had to be consoled by Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol

The 16-year-old opener finished as the 5th highest scorer with 163 runs from 5 matches at 32.60

India opener Shafali Verma was reduced to tears after their 85-run defeat against Australia in the Women’s T20 World Cup final against Australia in Melbourne on Sunday.

The 16-year-old Verma, who was easily the find of the tournament, failed to fire in the summit clash as India got bowled out for 99 during their 185-run chase against the Southern Stars at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Amidst the heartbreaking scenes in the Indian camp, Shafali had to be consoled by teammates Harmanpreet Kaur and Harleen Deol on the pitch even as they saw the Aussies celebrate their fifth title triumph.

Shafali though, was one of the biggest talking points in the tournament after her exploits in the group stage during which she amassed 161 runs in four games but could only add 2 more runs to her tally in the final to finish as the tournament’s 5th highest scorer.

At 16 years and 40 days old, Shafali also became the youngest player (female or male) to feature in any ICC tournament final. The record was previously held by West Indies’ women’s cricketer Shaquana Quintyne when she played the ODI World Cup final in 2013 at an age of 17 years and 45 days old.

It’s ok Shafali verma, you’ve achieved more than what a 16 year old can do don’t be sad We are proud you shafali #T20WorldCup #INDvAUS #TeamIndia #T20WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/smd68dEp5s

The final was a match which Shafali would like to forget as quickly as possible as not only did she fail to fire with the bat, but also dropped an easy catch of Alyssa Healy in the first over of the game at extra-cover.

The dropped chance proved very costly for Harmanpreet Kaur’s team as Healy went on to score 75 off 39 balls with 7 boundaries and 5 sixes.

Her opening partnership of 115 runs with Beth Mooney (78 not out) laid the foundation for the hosts, who eventually managed to post 184 for 4 in 20 overs after electing to bat first.

India in reply lost Shafali in the 3rd ball of the first over bowled by Megan Schutt, who ended up grabbing 4 wickets in all. Schutts and Jess Jonassen (3/20) ran through the Indian batting lineup and bowled out the visitors inside the 20 overs.

ENGLAND BEATS AUSTRALIA TO MOVE TOP OF THE TABLE AS WEST INDIES RECORDS FIRST WIN has been published at http://www.theleader.info/2017/07/10/england-beats-australia-move-top-table-west-indies-records-first-win/

ENGLAND BEATS AUSTRALIA TO MOVE TOP OF THE TABLE AS WEST INDIES RECORDS FIRST WIN

England records its fourth consecutive win in the competition by beating Australia by three runs in Bristol

The host is now top of the standings, with Australia second in the race for the knockout stages, but the top five teams are within one point of each other

West Indies beats Sri Lanka in Derby for its first win of this year’s ICC Women’s World Cup but neither team can qualify for the semi-finals

Video and audio interviews of captains and players, photographs available on the Online Media Zone for free download and editorial use

Jenny Gunn held her nerve as England inflicted Australia’s first defeat of the ICC Women’s World Cup, while also replacing its opposition at the top of the points table, with a thrilling three-run win at Bristol.

Defending 16 from the last over, Gunn did just enough to secure the victory – despite Ellyse Perry’s 70 from 86 balls as the Southern Stars narrowly failed to chase down the target of 259 for eight.

No Australian batter other than Perry was able to cash in on their starts as it ended on 256 for eight, with England registering its fourth successive victory as qualification for the semi-finals was blown wide open.

In the day’s other game at Derby, the West Indies recorded its first victory of the competition after beating Sri Lanka by 47 runs, although both teams are out of contention for the knockout stages.

West Indies put on 229 for nine at The County Ground, with Merissa Aguilleira’s patient unbeaten 46 leading the way, before Sri Lanka was skittled for 182 from 48 overs.

Anisa Mohammed was named player of the match after taking three for 39 with the ball, as Sri Lanka remains winless in the tournament.

 England v Australia

Katherine Brunt’s quick-fire unbeaten 45 and a dogged two for 42 with the ball led the way for England to record a first ICC WWC win over Australia since 1993, a narrow three-run triumph in Bristol.

The host country now looks well-placed to reach the semi-finals as it tops the table with just two games remaining, but only one point separates the top five as a mouth-watering conclusion to the group stage beckons.

Chasing 260 to win, Australia had put on 56 for the opening wicket at The County Ground, but when Beth Mooney and Nicole Bolton fell in the space of three overs, it was precariously placed.

Ellyse Perry battled on for Australia with a half-century.

Meg Lanning and Perry put on 57 together though the run-rate kept increasing, as Alex Hartley’s brilliant spell of two for 31 resulted in her bowling the captain.

Natalie Sciver then caught Perry just a few moments after a vital drop, and with too many runs needed, Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner couldn’t do enough as England ran out narrow winners thanks to Gunn’s nerves of steel.

Tamsin Beaumont had led England’s batting effort with 49, as she and Sarah Taylor motored along after Lauren Winfield’s early dismissal.

At 174 for six, England was in danger of not fulfilling its overs when 13 still remained, but Gunn and Brunt, who made a career-best 45 not out, gave them something to defend and Brunt was delighted to come up trumps in front of a packed crowd in Bristol.

“It’s always a show with England v Australia and I am happy I performed well,” said player-of-the-match Brunt.

“I think 200-220 was good, so to finish with 259 gave us a lot of confidence. As a bowler, I don’t really like bowling on these flat pitches but both sides varied their pace really well and it’s just a case of executing your skills.

“It’s always nice to get one up on the Aussies but this is just one game – there’s a fair few more to come. That’s the first one they’ve lost and you can never count them out.”

 Sri Lanka v West Indies

Meanwhile, three wickets in nine balls from Anisa Mohammed steered West Indies to its maiden victory at the ICC Women’s World Cup with a 47-run triumph over Sri Lanka.

Posting its highest total of the tournament so far, West Indies saw the majority of its runs come in the middle order, Aguilleira’s 46 not out the highlight of the innings.

But a masterclass with the ball from Anisa Mohammed heavily contributed to Sri Lanka’s fifth consecutive defeat as both teams are now unable to reach the semi-finals.

“I said to the girls before that I was going to get three wickets today,” said Mohammed.

“It’s good to see the spinners coming to the party. We have a lot in our team and they really stepped up today.”

Despite a strong start with 12 runs in the opening over, Hayley Matthews was the first West Indies casualty at the crease, before her captain followed after being caught behind.

Kycia Knight and Deandra Dottin were both trapped leg-before wicket, the latter having made an explosive 38 from 25 balls.

The West Indies looked to be rebuilding with Aguilleira and Kyshona Knight in the middle, before the latter was dispatched to start a lower-order collapse.

Just two balls after hitting her 1,000th ODI run, Shanel Daley was the first of three quick-fire wickets as Sri Lanka increased the pressure on its opponents at the end of the innings.

A slow start in response saw Sri Lanka lose its openers within the first six overs, and after a lengthy lull in play, Mohammed sparked life into the match with two wickets in two balls.

Her third came shortly after, clean bowling Shashikala Siriwardena, as West Indies took control before she also ran out Prasadani Weerakkodi.
