India are out South Africa are World Cup semi finalists SF1 Tues @ 2.30pm- Australia vs WI SF2 Thurs @ 6.30pm- England vs South Africa #T20worldcup

Ahh the ICC can’t even organise for the pictures to stay on!! Sums up everything you need to know about the ICC really!! This is why you listen to the radio to follow cricket #T20Worldcup #ENGvNZ

A simply Devine inning this from Sophie. A semi final placewinning knock #Bbccricket #T20worldcup #ENGvNZ

Who says it’s never sunny in Manchester?? Glad someone opened up the shade stand!! #bbccricket #T20Worldcup #SCOTvsSL

With UltraEdge, it's clear people still don't understand the difference between discrete video frames, and a (basically) continuous microphone measurement. Matthews has clearly hit the ball between the still frames, and the spike in the sound signal shows it #cricket #EngWvWIW 🏏

Well that’s the Semi Final spot locked in. Now to wait to see if it will be India or South Africa they will play.

OMG Ellie may keep in a Test!! I’m very excited Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Tammy Beaumont Lauren Bell Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Tilly Corteen-Coleman, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Emma Lamb, Grace Potts, Ellie Threlkeld Mady Villiers Issy Wong,

Small sample size but We’ve had 3 games in the WC now and no side has scored more than 132 in the second innings chasing, and all chasing sides have lost. Could end up being a win toss and bat tournament #T20WorldCup

It’s bad enough that we have 2 drinks breaks, heavens knows why in England of all places (oh that’s right TV!). But constantly having to wait for TV to come back when the players are standing there waiting is getting infuriating! #T20WorldCup

“The BBC is taking around 270 staff to the World Cup, many of whom are expected to stay in a five-star hotel, and 17 commentators.” - Telegraph Not World Cup 2026, but the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the BBC had a studio abroad. Paper also criticises cost of the studio.

We can stop this silly idea of players reviewing no balls and wides right now. We just wasted 5 minutes for no reason and without anyone in the ground having any idea what is going on. #T20Worldcup

This isn't just Scotland's first win at the women's T20 World Cup. It's the first win by any associate member at any women's World Cup in any format since the ICC took over women's cricket in 2005.

They’ve covered up the Alex Hartley Floodlight What are you doing ICC!!!

DANNI WYATT HODGE BEHAVE WILL YA!! That is stunning catch, from the pride of Stoke!!!

GET IN DANNI DWH only the 7th player to hit a century in a T20WC Second England Woman after Heather Knight in 2020 against Thailand England the only country with 2 players in the list. #WT20WC

Have literally never seen any women's professional cricketers complain or be ungrateful about £100K+ contracts. Also in my experience, when quizzed about equal pay, women's professionals in the UK very specifically don't argue they should be paid as much as men's players.

While in Manchester I thought I’d go into Waterstones to buy the new @rafnicholson.bsky.social The Women in Whites book and was very disappointed they are not stocking it, even though it says so on the website. Got to wait for delivery now 😢😢

At Least the ICC aren’t blocking people from watching this!

No rain, clear Skys and dry wicket so what are we going to do. That’s right we are going to take Lunch!!! Long live Test cricket #EngvsNZ

Big shouts to all the cricket people that are retreading the "if this pitch was in India" narrative when people have been criticising the Lords pitch for the last two days. By all means complain that we're going to see three Tests out of 7 on this ground this summer. Now THAT'S bollocks.

Because nothing says "cricket is a game for all" than 4 Tests in London in one summer and an Ashes series with no Tests north of Birmingham. Cheers ECB.

Some delayed starts to the warm up games in Womens World Cup, but we are up and running now. So annoying that they are all being played behind closed doors, this is a prime chance to get kids down to the grounds and watch the womens game. Very poor from ICC / ECB #WT20WC

Sorry Sophia but I think you may have just lost your spot in the side for the WC. This is the kind of Innings from Alice Capsey that says, you want someone aggressive at the top, I can be that person. #EngvInd

Good morning from Chelmsford. Nice double header. The mighty Lancs Thunder vs Essex first Then Derbyshires first ever official T20 against Essex

I wonder where all those who wanted Kemp dropped are? They all seem to have gone rather quiet?? #EngvInd

Now this is how you watch an England win. Much better performance today! #EngvInd

Telling fans England are not good is not going to boost ticket sales or interest in the women's game. The Lioness narrative began with Team GB in the 2012 Olympics. They only made the L8 but got over 70,000 fans to see them play Brazil. Now look where they are. The ECB should be wanting the same.

No, the media should push the tournament everywhere. Get the public behind the England team. Encourage people to go to the games & create an atmosphere. Why the Lionesses narrative? Because people know it and understand it. Something to believe in. They might not win but that isn't the point.

As I have stated elsewhere, this is a ridiculous take; So what should the English media do, just turn round and say “You know what this WC we have in England, don’t bother with it the teams crap and won’t win anyway” That’s really a way to inspire others to watch a home WC.

Ryana McDonald-Gay behave will you 4-1-11-6 against Durham And on a hatrick 3 times They are ridiculous figures

Very very poor from England today. Having a side at 11-4 and letting them end at 170-5 isn’t good enough. Dropping Devine twice, and 20+ extras in the field. Then batting equally poor, no boundaries for 6 overs, poor running between the wickets Won’t be winning a WC like that #ENGvNZ

England v NZ on a glorious Saturday in Kent New Zealand win toss and bat first NZ change Tahuhu in for Mair Patel in for Bates England changes Wong in for Ecclestone (tight quad) For those that don’t have sky, game is also live on Channel 5

Glorious Cricket weather this weekend Remember when you are your club games, whether it be playing or watching Take a minute to think about your umpires in the middle all day with no rest bite. Buy them a drink or an ice cream to say thanks, those little things go a long way

Look at that weather across the Bank Holiday weekend. Peak cricket weather for the start of the Blast. It’s almost as if we are playing the comp in the prime summer months.

Abbey Freeborn with 86* from Warkwickshires 164-8 Which is 52.43% of the sides runs. This will probably need a @hypocaust.bsky.social check on it but I believe it may be the highest percentage of runs scored in a Women’s T20

For me now, you have to plan to go into the World Cup without Nat. Going in without any proper T20 games under her belt since January isn’t good at all.

Some great results in the T20 Knock out cup, including a bowl off! So round 3 with the Tier 1 sides enter the comp will be; Middlesex v Warwickshire Essex v Gloucestershire Yorks v Somerset Worcestershire v Surrey Glamorgan v Hampshire Lancs v Buckinghamshire Derbyshire v Northants Blaze v Durham

I am all for keeping the game going for as long as possible during the rain but this is all getting a little farcical now and unsafe out there

Let’s not forgot today is Suzie Bates final ODI game -183 Matches- 4th all time -5970 runs- 4th highest ODI (23 runs to over take Charlotte Edwards to go 3rd) -13 100s & 37 50s -HS 168 -38.02 Average with 79.41 SR - 83 W @ 34.13, Best figure 4-7 - 94 catches What a career from Suzie

Think I definitely made the right choice to go to Durham on Sunday instead of Northampton today. The weather looks bleak at best today, I don’t think we will be getting much play.

So that leaves English Womens cricket with no woman in charge of it come July!!

Alexa Stonehouse to be added to the England Squad, with Issy Wong looking to be out and reassessed. So that’s another injury for England!! Almost as if not playing games and playing soldiers hasn’t worked!!!

If England are going to play like that all summer, they are not winning a World Cup. The game management at points was poor, taking a single of the first ball of the over and leaving 10 & 11 to face the rest! Maybe a camp at school rather than the Army next time!

Very disappointing to see that BBCsport having an England Women full international fixtures being placed underneath mens county championship Not good at all

England win toss and bowl at Durham Lamb Grewcock Knight Boosh Kemp Jones Gibson Dean Wong Bell TCC Team feels a bowler light to me, can see why they want to bowl first.

The start of the Womens T20 County Cup kicks off in earnest today Some really interesting games going on around the country, keep your eye out on the games today. www.ecb.co.uk/womens-count...

So at Lancashire we’ve just had the standing umpire hit flush with a delivery back at her and looks like she may have to go off with concussion Lancs coaching staff will now perform Square leg duties for the remaining 9 overs

Not a cloud in the sky, Manchester in fine glorious weather Roses Derby taking place That warm that the Panama is making its first sighting of the summer Weekends don’t get better than this.

Cricket doesn’t get much better than this really. Beautiful ground, Sun shining, Kate Cross & Mahika Gaur bowling in tandem Ellie Threlkeld & Fi Morris in the runs What more do you want??

England women have not played a competitive game since October last year. Had no cricket over the winter due to the FTP being full and have been playing games between themselves since. Now rather than playing competitive fixtures they are in another camp, baffling way to prep for a WC
