Australia equalled 2 catching records in the Test against India - 8 in India's 1st innings & 15 for the match. It's the 12th time 8 catches have been taken in an innings (8 by Australia); 15 in a match has occurred 3 times - all by Australia.

Some confusion on the last ball, as Ramharack seemed to be out obstructing the field, but the scorecard hasn't updated.
West Indies restricted to 101 or 101/9 (20.0)
Matthews 28 (36)

According to my research, Dottin is just the 2nd batter to be dismissed 'obstructing the field' off a wide.
A very messy decision. Sri Lanka were appealing for handled ball, then hit ball twice and the umpires dug themselves a hole which they couldn't get out from.
Deandra Dottin has been given out obstructing the field v Sri Lanka.
It's been a busy few days. Some reminders:

Repeating our appeal for anyone who can help @acscricket.bsky.social fill the gaps in scorecards for many of the 1,583 women's first-class matches (especially for Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa and the West Indies) so that the records can become even more comprehensive!

Anyone interested in cricket stats should see women's cricket as a great area to get into, as it's still in the exciting, pioneering stage men's cricket went through a century or so ago - compiling and defining the foundational stats - combined with all the tools of the digital age.
@acscricket.bsky.social Committee agreed a list of women's matches to be judged as first-class. The list can be found at archive.acscricket.com/research/wom... .
Comments welcome.
We don't have full scores for some of these matches, so any help in doing research to find them would be very welcome.

Journalists, broadcasters, fans - stop relying on ESPNcricinfo for women's cricket balls faced records, especially slow-scoring stats.
Their database is woefully incomplete for pre-2000s women's cricket (this also applies ot Cricbuzz who have just replicated the same incomplete scorecards).

Fun fact:
Of the 129 'obstructing the field' dismissals in official cricket, in 24 cases (18.6%) the batter dismissed has been a wicketkeeper; they only comprise a bit over 9% of a team
