Alyssa Healy shifted the dial to propel women’s cricket to its modern heights | Megan Maurice

Some reflections on Alyssa Healy’s immense contribution to Australian cricket from me www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2...

Final update tonight. Andrew Denton is also out. Have also crossed out Michael Veitch & Tracey Lee Holmes as they were part of Better Off Said, which is out. Remember the list is a not final. Don't assume those not crossed out are going Others to be found here www.artshub.com.au/news/news/ad...

…it should break your heart to kill.

Let's be clear: it takes a village to protect & enable sexual abusers & anyone who continues to have an active account on X - including elected officials, journalists & government agencies - are now part of that village

On the day that a Palestinian writer is dropped from Adelaide Writer’s Week for being *checks notes* Palestinian.

Perth crowd having a normal one. #BBL15 🏏

I’ve said for years that what Australian cricket needs is enormous Tasmanians. Maybe 4 of them. #ashes

what if we could come up with a head band technology or something that made Starc always think it is the first over? #ashes

As Achilles heels go, this is probably not the worst one you could have. #AUSvENG #Ashes

Burnt the reviews. Job done. #Ashes 🏏

Incidentally, MARNUS LABUSCHAGNE is an anagram of BEN'S HUG CAN ALARM US. #Ashes #AUSvENG

Love a team that uses two reviews on the night watchie #Ashes

Ahead of Day 3 of the "pink test" In 2022-23 the McGrath foundation spent about $8.8m on “foundation-funded breast care nurses”, but more than $9.1m on fundraising and marketing, and a further $2.2m on administration." www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024...

Anyway, semi-related, my brother thinks slow over rates should be punished by the availability of the new ball being delayed by however many overs they’re behind and I think I’m in favour of that. Especially if it gives us more Head-Labuschagne tandem filth. #Ashes 🏏

Brook out sixteen minutes before the scheduled start of play. What a precocious talent he is. #Ashes 🏏

We should play the Big Bash games now and come back to the Test later tonight. It's the Pink Test, let Starc bowl with a pink ball, ffs. #Ashes 🏏

According to the available stats, there have been 19 recorded fifties brought up off 19 balls or fewer in women's T20 cricket. Laura Harris has made 6 of them (and these account for all of her 50+ scores in the format). No other player has made more than one in their career. #SuperSmashNZ

What a gift. Nightwatcher Boland v seven slips. #Ashes 🏏

Scott Boland got a golden duck, 3/30, a catch, and more runs than Root/Duckett/Bethell combined today

This and the discussion about how academics can now just read AI summaries of things really drives home how much these guys always confuse the product for the goal. You don't do a coloring sheet because you want to have a colored sheet at the end!!! The coloring is the point!!!

Congrats to Australia, this is really cool! report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au

As a Jew, I find it bizarre that people are forcing a 'Palestine' narrative onto the Bondi Beach shooting. The shooter openly claimed inspiration from ISIS; an organization that actually despises Palestinian nationalism in favor of their own global caliphate.

John Howard has done precisely two good things in his wretched life - institute gun control and disappear from the public eye - and this week he’s pissed both up against the wall

If you haven't read @jeffsparrow1.bsky.social's article for @overlandjournal.bsky.social yesterday on the politics of what's happened in the aftermath of the Bondi massacre, let me recommend you do so now. overland.org.au/2025/12/on-t...

The murder of Jamie Smith will be the next Knives Out mystery. And, spoiler: Ben Stokes will be the one who did it. #Ashes 🏏

It was never about protecting women, it was never about women's sport.

Interesting piece by @meganmaurice.bsky.social - ngl, I hadn’t clocked that the system was different in the men’s comp!

Coming out of writing hibernation to rant about the WBBL finals system

God I hate researching year end episodes

Can someone tell Howie that if we’re having conversations about the youngest players to score a 50 in the Big Bash, Phoebe Litchfield was easily younger than both Peake and Konstas. #BBL #BBL15

Oh good, ball tracking is unavailable again. Looking forward to seeing all these issues become miraculously fixed once the MBBL start #WBBL

Ooo look at me, I’m Mitchell Starc and I’m going to win a day/night test match all by myself. Grow up.

There we go. Everybody into double figures. Nobody sullying it with triple figures. Proper innings. #Ashes 🏏

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Women’s Cricket World Cup – Australia v Sri Lanka – live

Love the optimism of the score predictor that thinks South Africa are going to get to 103 #CWC25

The women’s Cricket World Cup starts tonight! I spoke to two of the Australian team’s young stars about the future, as we sit poised at the end of an era

People keep "debunking" the claim that Charlie Kirk wanted to stone gay people to death but I'm pretty sure he meant it.

Wes Agar has lived with OCD since childhood - he spoke to daisy about the impact it's had on his life and his cricket. Long read - lots of insight into a complex and misunderstood condition. Grateful he could be so candid for the first time 👇🏻 daisycutterzine.wordpress.com/2025/06/18/w...

I thought the whole point of Perth is that it doesn’t rain there? #Origin

Clearly Hazlewood wasn’t expecting to bat this test, he’s left his arm guard at home and has had to fashion one out of a bit he cut out of the change room wall #WTC25 #SAvAUS

"We are sad that the journalist didn't dodge the projectile that chose to go towards her" said her employer. Read more: chaser.com.au/general-news...

The most maddening thing is that it would be perfectly fine to write "9News reporter shot by police" because it is it accurate, true and backed up by the video footage. Even *if* the cops want to claim it was accidental, to word "shoot" says nothing about intent. We're using passive voice to lie.
