Bermuda's women's team have been handed the sort of walloping today that usually only happens in nightmares, losing by ten wickets with 296 balls to go.
In a World Cup qualifier against South Africa in Stellenbosch, Bermuda batted first and were bowled out for 13 (their captain, Linda Mienzer, making a gritty 1 off 48 balls). In reply, the Bermuda opening bowler, Terry-Lynn Paynter, sent down nine wides and a no-ball before eventually getting one ball to land on the strip, which was hit for four. There was a grand sum of five scoring strokes in the match. Brilliant.
