At Lords for 1st ever Women’s Test Match (with RHF looking down benignly) To paraphrase another famous Midlander “And gentlemen (…gentlewomen of course) in England now a-bed, Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here” Go well @BCCIWomen & @englandcricket #HistoryMakers

For those asking about Nat Sciver-Brunt’s future, I asked her about it after the game:
Nat Sciver-Brunt hopes World Cup career is not over after England heartbreak
The captain, who broke down in tears after the T20 World Cup final defeat by Australia, said: ‘I tried to do everything I could … I’m really proud’

Last time I saw an Eng v Aus WT20 live it was at the Oval during the last home Ashes. One of my greatest cricket watching experiences. Please let tomorrow be that again.
Watched the highlights twice and the full game once. Very nervous about tomorrow. It’s Australia’s to lose. But… I’ve seen this England team beat them here. Last time they played a T20 series here, England won. They’re as good as I’ve seen them. 🏏🏴🇦🇺 #WT20WCFinal
Chris Addison@mrchrisaddison.bsky.social · last mo.Might rewatch the semifinal now, actually.
For the first time in years I’ve barely seen a point of the first week of Wimbledon. Cause: too much cricket. Maybe I’ll start paying attention after tomorrow. That said, the women’s test starts on Friday, so…
Sometimes the cricket season is travelling to Wales and back to bring you comms on the biggest Tier 2 game of the summer! Glamorgan vs Middlesex. 1st vs 2nd. A win for Glamorgan confirms their qualification for the final. Tune in this afternoon!
On our way to the Oval for the first semi final & we reflect on Sunday with the final group stage games at Lord’s open.spotify.com/episode/6ujo...

The end of an era ❤️ A guard of honour for Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu as their New Zealand careers come to an end 👏
It sums up Suzie Bates, that she signs off her exit interview from her extraordinary 20 year career by congratulating former team-mate Tash Farrant on her burgeoning media career. #T20WorldCup
