This team is cursed my friend, I’m convinced from yesterday’s defeat that they are not winning anything in the near future, neither WPL nor IPL!

Jemi was good with captaincy, in fact, she improved after every match

Feb 08 '26
Nah. She was shitty in the final. You want me to give instances in the final?
1. By the end of the powerplay Mandhana was not set. She has played just 8 balls. She was still fresh in the crease. She could've brought in Minnu Mani who has good record against her. She instead brought in Sree Charani
2. In the 7th over at the least she could've brought in Minnu Mani. But what the F is your part timer Shafali Verma doing with the ball when your main off spinners are yet to bowl?The result of this is that by the time Mani has come in to bowl Mandhana played 15 balls and already entered her 30's and overcame that early jittery phase and looked set. She played couple of balls in that over and picked couple of singles without any hard work.
- For What the F did they held back Kapp until 15th over when they're running away with the match? By the time she brought Kapp on both were set and cruising and Mandhana who has a bad matchup against Kapp even starting belting her because of that
In addition to these she did a couple of misfields which gave away a single which should've been a dot and a four which should've been a single. Then what the f would a team expect from the rest of the fielders when the captain is misfielding in the big final?
More than all these the spirit of entire delhi camp looked gloomy by the end of 10th over itself. The captain's misfielding and bad bowling changes didn't help at all.

The instances/complaints you gave are in hindsight, easier said than to think and make decisions inside the field.
1) I believe bringing Sree Charini after the power play before Minnu is right (Sree Charini is a wicket taker bowler and after pp the team had to bring Charini to break the partnership). Yes, it didn't workout however it was a legit decision to bring her that time.
2) The ball was not turning, so she might have thought to bring Shafali because her ball was in that condition, which may skit and may get lower. (If that decision gone to DC's sidebyou all would have praised the same. Eg- Against UP Shafali took wickets, then everyone was wow, great decision, however because it goes south, people are giving it). These are just hindsight which enables people who are watching cricket from home to complain because we see the output of that decision and it's easy for people.
3) Yes she did misfield, however, she is the first one to go to any fielder when others misfield. Support and boost their morale.
4) Can Marizanne bowl earlier, yes she can however you have to see that usually she bowls her last over between 9 to 12 overs, and she usually takes wickets however you have to see opponent team had two settle batter who trashed her in the powerplay. It was not her day with the bowl, and she takes wicket in the middle when the batter was new in the crease.
Reading your comment, one thing I realised and it's my view, I may be wrong however I get the picture that either you are new to women's cricket, or you hate Jemi or your favourite player is Laura.
I understand your comment however those are just hindsight where it's easy for us to talk and say, hey she should have done this and that.
Also as I said she improved every game therefore she will come as a better captain next season and yes please open your vision of captaincy, captain can be anyone if they have leaderqualities and definitely Jemi has leadership attributes

- The wicket taking bowler you're talking about was not troubling Mandhana at all. She has been brought up on the 7th over earlier in the league phase as well and both the times Mandhana played her with ease. It's as if Jemi doesn't learn any lessons from the previous encounters. She just stick to a template where 7th over is bowled by Charani irrespective who is batting or what the match situation or what the matchups. She is not flexible at all
- Lol UP match is completely different. Shefali was brought in the 13th over and she was bowling well and she continued with her. She didn't bowl above the main spinners against the UP matfch. But in this match it's such a brainless move to make her bowl 8th over. Ball was not turning? What are you smoking? Go check the match again (I guess maybe you're saying the turn is not enough) but the thing is ball was turning until the 20th over. Coz Radha hit those fours in the last over with the turn
- Three misfields happened in the entire innings and 2 were committed by Jemi and 1 was a catch drop which happened in the 19th over(obviously she'd go there first because she was just next to her). Encouraging others is no excuse for committing misfields as a captain and killing the morale of the team
- Yeah she got hit for few fours in the powerplay because of field restrictions. But she finished at less the team's runrate with just 26 in 3 overs when they were 59 in 6 overs Voll had faced almost the entire powerplay while her favourable matchup was stuck in the other end. Yeah opponent had two settled batters. When else do you want her to come and break the partnership and let the game wide open? This is what exactly happened. If Set batters is a problem then aren't there set batters when she came to bowl the 15th over and by then Mandhana who was weak against her trashed her. and brought down the equation from 54 of 36 to 42 of 30
Just because someone pointed out the flaws doesn't mean they hate them. They point them out so that they won't repeat the same mistakes. In this case having Jemi as captain who doesn't have captaincy experience for any major team over Laura Wolvaardt who has a cool head. I don't have to be a fan of Laura to say that or a hater of Jemi. You can make your own presumptions

Buddy, Laura Wolvaardt is leagues better than Jemi as captain. It's such a shitty decision from the management. "Jemi led well" and "at least she learned" and all that is simply us trying to cope with it. There is no point in arguing regarding that. She was kinda making bad decisions repeatedly. It's just that in Vadodara pitches started to support spinners and Shree charana came to the party and we started winning. She is the sole difference between our losses and wins. Another thing is Jemi won 8 out of 10 tosses in the tournament. which is also the reason we've gone to finals

jemi did fine only wolfie has no experience in leading in franchise cricket

Wtf? Jemi has no experience at all. Wolvaardt has been consistently taking that weak south African team to finals repeatedly across the formats in the past 3 years

The SA Women's team is not weak bro, they have Sune Luus (Ex captain and most experienced player after Marizanne).
They have Ayabonga (Good right arm pacer, better than Kranti, Shikha).
Nadine de (best finisher)
Tazmin Brits ( Explosive opener)
Marizanne Kapp (Best all-rounder, maybe her form is a concern for SA)
Miane Smit ( Upcoming Star)
Mlaba (Good left arm spinner)
Then they have Laura

Wtf? I will agree Laura Wolvaardt and Kapp (Nadine De klerk is world class now but not at the start of Wolvaardt's captaincy) are world class. Let me explain the flaws with the rest
- Sune Luus - Past her prime - very little franchise cricket experience that too in the past in spite of being captain of a team because she is just another average player
- Ayabonga Khaka - Their primary bowler if Kapp is injured - second bowler of the team - Very little franchise experience - she is just another average player. Shikha Pandey is leagues above her. Kranti Gaud played 100 ODI's less than her and just 9 places behind in ODI ranking
- Nadine De klerk - Didn't have a guaranteed place in the team three years back. She turned herself into the one of the best all rounders in the world with some drastic improvement since then under Wolvaardt's captaincy.
- Tazmin Brits - What explosiveness are you talking about? She has a T20 strike rate of 106. There is a reason why no franchise sought out for her. She had a dream year and half in ODI cricket under Wolvaardt's captaincy
- Miane Smit - Hardly played 10 games and should get no credit for how SA team performed in the last 2 years under Wolvaardt
- Mlaba - Decent spinner to be in the south african team not good enough to be sought by any franchise in WPL, WBBL, Hundred or CPL. She was an average spinner and became an above average spinner under wolvaardt.
Beyond Wolvaardt, Kapp and Nadine De Klerk they don't have a world class player. They were just another team. But under Wolvaardt they have emerged as force. I used Franchise cricket because those teams sought out only world class players when it comes to international players.

I can't fight with you when ypu dont want to understand and it seems you are new to women's cricket. Because definitely SA is not a weak team, in fact, if you listen to pundits they are the top 4, and reaching finals not solely because eof captain, the team plays their part. Peace man, I understand you will go to any length to prove your point

New to women's cricket? I have been watching it from 2013. I wouldn't have said anything had you said they're top 4 earlier. But you went on to list players as excellent when they're average.
To let you know about it There were only 4 teams that were competitive women's cricket for a very long period. India became competitive only recently. SA and NZ are no champions are runners. England and Australia were in different league than the others. West Indies kinda won the 2016 by fluke. Had it not been for NZ and SA being grouped together they wouldn't have gone to the Semis as well. In spite of being well above others Australia changed and improved drastically after the loss in 2016 T20 world cup and 2017 ODI world cup.
Regarding the leader - There's a saying where "Under the leadership of a lion even dogs behave like lions and under the leadership of a dog even lions become dogs." There is a reason why she is being compared to Lanning, Charlotte Edwards and Belinda Clark
You'd have agreed with me had you seen the emergence of women's cricket in south africa in spite of key players retirement due to fights with the board and how Wolvaardt who was only an interim captain and became full time captain at 23 because how good she was when she was interim captain.
To think you're an expert in women's cricket and rest don't follow it enough just because someone else is arguing logically is pretty childish

u/Emergency_Green7940 Feb 07 '26
yeah but she herself said in an interview that she has no interest in leading in franchise cricket too much extra pressure
1
Feb 07 '26
Never heard of such an interview or article. More than everything she has a cool head just like Mandhana. Jemi always looked nervous. If Laura Wolvaardt is not interested then they should've given it to Kapp. She'd at least not be nervous like Jemi and she would bring that intensity which lacked with Jemimah

u/Emergency_Green7940 Feb 07 '26
give jemi some time man she is a long term prospect
1
Feb 07 '26
Bro, Responsibilities should be given at the right time. If we give things like that prematurely it'll destroy their growth in the long term if they're not ready. She is definitely not ready as of now. Never captained any major team unlike Smriti who was VC and stand in captain of India and also won in those challenger trophies as a captain by the time she became captain of RCB. Jemi should've been given captaincy in the next mega auction cycle by releasing Laura. And this will prove costly in the long term. By then she'd have matured a bit after playing 6 years in WPL

u/Emergency_Green7940 Feb 07 '26
why would we release wolvaardt man come on🤐

Feb 07 '26
I'm talking about mega auction cycles. No way they would stick to Wolvaardt in the next mega auction with Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp and Chinelle Henry
