Not much can be said about Canada's second official warm-up against Australia. Canada were steamrolled by 9 wickets. It only took the Aussies 7.4 overs to surpass Canada's total of 114 with all the Canadian bowlers having economies in double figures. One match they will need to put behind them quick...

Re: Canadian Women's cricket

Hmmm. Brazil appear to think that the women's game is the area for growth of the game in that country. It is awarding central contracts to its women's team.
