It always surprises me when a commentator on international cricketer says they haven't seen a bowler bowl. I think Jodi Grewcock is better than a part-time leg-spinner even if her first international wicket was from a full-toss

More than half of these books have been read in the last year. Always interested in expanding this collection

“Whenever you feel comfortable in an environment, whenever you're really made welcome, it relaxes you and lets you play your best cricket. “I certainly feel like I have had that with The Blaze. It feels like coming home." Welcome back, Tammy 🧡 #FiredUp 🔥

It's the start of the women's county cricket season! There are nine men's games receiving BBC radio commentary, and one women's game. All of the men's games happening are being covered, but 25% of the women's.

This season, I will be writing for The Trent about all things The Blaze and a few things Notts. My first article for them is an interview with The Blaze head coach Craig Cumming. thetrent.counterpress.media/news/the-bla...

JACK LEACH IS OPENING THE BATTING FOR SOMERSET

Yep

Dillon Pennington deserved that 5 for 65, Olly Stone could have had a lot more wickets on another day as well #SOMvNOT

Watching the stream this morning! Sophie Luff on comms as well. Great start from Notts this morning

If you're thinking about doing an April Fools joke, just don't.

Amazing scenes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as cricket and rugby nation Italy come within a kick of making the football World Cup! The fairytale wasn't to be, but maybe these players can inspire a generation of Italian kids to look beyond Tommaso Menoncello and Anthony Mosca as their sporting heroes.

A good collection of left-arm spinners there!

So they put up a picture of Sarah Bryce instead of Kathryn Bryce!!!

This has got to be really embarrassing for the players

Tazmin Brits missed out on the Olympics because of a car accident. Also has this guy never heard of New Zealand Basketball Olympian Suzie Bates?

I dislike so much about this auction business

Looks like I will be buying tickets to see Scotland play in a cricket World Cup!

Surely this would help rather than make things worse?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You can't grow an audience if you put the majority of games on when people are at work!

This should be a reminder that enough isn't being done to promote cricket in state schools. It shows a complete imbalance. That is compounded when you look at the top state schools as there is still a hint of elitism there.

The Portsmouth accent takes a bit of time reacclimatising to after so long away

Whale Island is largely a cricketnl ground by the looks of it

Made it!

On the way!

How about this HUGE six from Tom Kohler-Cadmore over the Hollies last night!?! 💥💥💥 #WeAreSomerset #FinalsDay

The best day to have a birthday!

Somerset v The Blaze is the only game today where both sides aren't wearing the same or similar colour!

If you are going through a drought, just invite Somerset and The Blaze to play a cricket match against each other. You are almost guaranteed rain!

How is it cricket teams seem to all choose the same colour for kits? It wasn't long ago when everyone was playing in black and now blue seems to be the colour!

My match report from a fantastic performance from Northern Superchargers deepextracover.com/2025/08/wome...

Phoebe Litchfield! That's all!

Southern Brave's highest score in a Hundred final is 139 for six against Northern Superchargers in2023. Their other final scores are: 73 all out v Oval Invincibles 2021 101 for 6 v Oval Invincibles 2022

Great view of the fireworks!

While you should never turn your nose up at free food. It's the over complicating of italian flavours that ruin a lot of food!

That is quality from London Spirit's players shaking Davina Perrin's hand as she departs the field after a fantastic century! I think everyone watching knows how spectacular that was.

Here is something i'm working on. It's the first chapter of what I hope will become a bigger project thefamousstrauss.blogspot.com/2025/08/ther...

I think it's going to be difficult to love up the Commonwealth Games experience! Those were such good times, and volunteering at Edgbaston was fantastic.

There are some things you never thought you would write! Last Sunday was a little surreal.

This might be my favourite international fixture!

At Lord's for the tier 2 clash between Middlesex and Sussex

If you want to join

My cricket draft squad, would anyone be interested in joining a private league, or do you feel you couldn't compete with that team?
