The Numbers are in for the latest rounds of the One Day Cup. Somerset's Katie Jones currently the No. 1 performing Jones on the circuit!

Well that went out of date quicker than a petrol station sandwich!

We now go live to England T20 World Cup prep!

Worth going back and watching the cracking Grewcock catch - this should take you straight there (at 6:53:05).

A look back at yesterday's 6th Round of One Day Cup matches which took The Blaze to the top of the table..... womens-cricket.blogspot.com/2026/05/on-w...

Raf was on Radio 4 this morning along with the 2005 Women's Ashes team. Not sure Isa Guha will want to be reminded of one particular moment - you'll know which moment I'm talking about when you hear it!!

On the CRICKETher Weekly: * England’s World Cup squad… we have views! * England quick-march off to an army bootcamp * Charis Pavely & Alexa Stonehouse impress in the One Day Cup * What can cricket learn from Formula 1?

F1 doing the thing the ICC told us it was totally impossible to do when several games in Sri Lanka got rained-off at the last World Cup.

✍️ Strength and charisma of Pavely see Warwickshire over the line Richard’s thoughts from Edgbaston noughtiechildpodca.wixsite.com/my-site/post...

@rafnicholson.bsky.social of @crickether.com & Tina Gough & @mrscricket.bsky.social on the free Warwickshire livestream for their Metro Bank One Day Cup game v Somerset cos it’s #HerGameToo

"As part of the preparations for the ICC T20 World Cup the England management have arranged for the squad to attend a multi-day programme with the British Army to help in their readiness for the challenges ahead."

A recap of a remarkable Wednesday in the One Day Cup womens-cricket.blogspot.com/2026/04/rema...

"We shall fight at square leg, we shall fight at long off, we shall fight at midwicket and in the slips, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength through extra cover; we shall never declare."

A brief round-up of the weekend's One Day Cup action.... womens-cricket.blogspot.com/2026/04/roun...

On the CRICKETher Weekly: * Controversy at The Oval: a wrong dismissal and a too-big bat * Is Lauren Filer in our World Cup squad? * Was it right to withdraw England players from the ODC for a camp? * No women in The Wisden Five

One-Day Cup: Surrey v Durham - Filer's Flurry in Surrey Featuring Charlotte Edwards, a beamer and a whole heap of wickets. crickether.com/2026/04/18/o...

Durham 256-8 v Surrey 258-7 #ODC 🏏

We've got a nail-biter at The Oval - Surrey need 10 to win; DWH needs 10 for 💯! 🏏

Durham 256-8 v Surrey 162-5 #ODC 🏏

Surrey v Durham at The Oval 🏏

Feel like this is a little bit under par - think there are more runs in this pitch and a bonus point win is there for the taking for Surrey.

Watching this Canadian documentary report, the main thought is, how rare this sort of coverage of cricket is in more 'traditional' cricketing nations. So much coverage of the game now is produced in house, or by those with a vested interest in not lifting the lid on a sewer of corruption.

We are “working from home” at The Oval today to watch Surrey v Durham. It’s 17 degrees ☀️ and the Durham players are very unaccustomed to this sudden change in conditions 😁

Look back at Round Two of the One Day Cup, before this weekend's fixtures womens-cricket.blogspot.com/2026/04/roun... On Saturday..... Essex v Warks at Chelmsford Surrey v Durham at The Oval Yorkshire v The Blaze at Headingley And now on Sunday.. Lancs v Somerset at Old Trafford

Wisden dinner!

At the Wisden Dinner.

I've written some words on the Wisden Male Cricketers of the Year award - thanks to @crickether.com and @hypocaust.bsky.social for their posts that I screenshotted as part of the piece.

Since Claire Taylor became the first woman in the "Wisden 5" in 2009, 11 women have been included alongside 78 men; meaning 88% of winners are men and just 12% women. I'm not sure exactly what equality looks like, but this isn't it.

ONE DAY CUP: Hampshire v Essex - Young Guns (Go for It!)

Essex 265-8 v Hampshire 266-5 #ODC 🏏 They don't get much closer, but Hampshire come out on top with 2 balls to spare.

Essex 265-8 v Hampshire 105-1 #ODC 🏏 Essex ahead at the halfway mark, but they need the wicket of McCaughan who is on 61 and building what looks like it could be a match-winning innings.

Essex 265-8 v Hampshire #ODC 🏏 After the loss of two early wickets, a big partnership between Grewcock (80) and Macleod (46) set Essex up for a decent total at the Hampy Bowl.

The Women's One-Day Cup this year has one fewer qualifying spot, despite an extra team being added Last year, 4 teams went through from 8 This year, 3 teams go through from 9 It's a weird change, because it will create more dead games and some teams will quite quickly... 1/7
