'Hit wicket' dismissals in Youth Internationals: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... #cricket 🏏

Journalists, broadcasters, fans - stop relying on ESPNcricinfo for women's cricket balls faced records, especially slow-scoring stats. Their database is woefully incomplete for pre-2000s women's cricket (this also applies ot Cricbuzz who have just replicated the same incomplete scorecards). #cwc25

Overseas players in Women's Victorian Premier Cricket this summer: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Sophie Bennett, Kira Chathli, Abigail Glen, Elle Golsworthy, Alice Grant, Eliza Heard, Daisy Jeanes, Grace Michell, Alice Noakes, Mia Rogers, Isla Thomson, Rebecca Tyson, Ophelia Watson #cricket 🏏 (1/2)

Nashra Sandhu becomes the second player to be dismissed hit wicket at a Women's World Cup. The first was Lynette Smith, representing International XI against Trinidad & Tobago at Aigburth in 1973. Pakistan 115/9 (34.2) #CWC25 icc-cricket.com/tournaments/...

Today's game makes Anne-Marie Garth (Ireland 1988) and daughter Kim (Australia 2025) the first mother and daughter to have played at Women's Cricket World Cups. #AUSvNZ cricket.com.au/news/4349630...

Fun fact: Of the 129 'obstructing the field' dismissals in official cricket, in 24 cases (18.6%) the batter dismissed has been a wicketkeeper; they only comprise a bit over 9% of a team #cricket 🏏

A 2nd 'hit wicket' dismissal for Meg Lanning, her 1st being for AUS 🇦🇺 v IND 🇮🇳 in T20I in 21-22. It is the 3rd 'hit wicket' dismissal in matches between Victoria & New South Wales in this format; no other fixture has produced more. #cricket 🏏 www.cricket.com.au/matches/CA:2...

Throwback to the very first official limited overs match - played at Old Trafford in 1963 - in which Lancashire scored 304/9 in their 65 overs against Leicestershire. #ENGvSA static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1...

Japan women's international Ayaka Kate Stafford has been selected for an upcoming Australian U19 tour of Sri Lanka. This won't impact her eligibility to play for Japan as U19 bilateral cricket is not covered by ICC regulations on player eligibility. Only the World Cup and its qualifiers are.

Following an 78 run partnership for the last wicket, to which George Richardson contributed 0* from 8 balls, Asa Tribe is finally out for 175 out of Jersey's 261 - 67% of the team's runs. Only Viv Richards and Chamari Athapaththu have scored a higher percentage of runs in a completed ODI innings.

We’re delighted that Cricket Scotland has chosen the National Library to be the new home of their archive 🏏 The records cover the history of the Scottish Cricket Union and Cricket Scotland, from 1908 to the present day.

Having watched the women's T20 World Cup European qualifier and men's ICC Challenge League coverage on ICC TV these past few days, the quality of the scoring for the on screen graphics is leaving a lot to be desired. Far too many mistakes.

Of course some national cricketing boards will go bankrupt if the leading, ah 3, countries hog the ICC revenue for themselves

Most batters out 'bowled' in an innings in Women's List A in Australia: 8 NSW v Vic, 81-82 7 Auck v SA, 73-74 Cant v SA, 75-76 Aus A v Ind A, 2025 👈 #cricket 🏏

Regular reminder to fans, media, broadcasters & historians - you can't blindly rely on ESPNcricinfo's records for women's international or domestic cricket to be complete or accurate. There are numerous gaps in their database. Also potentially, a huge gap in the market. #cricket

Some news from me on new ICC organised regular international events for associate members in Women's T20Is. www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ART...

In fact this is the record for ALL Women's T20 cricket #cricket 🏏

Türkiye scored an unbeaten 57 runs for the 10th wicket in their match against Greece, establishing a new record in Women's T20I www.icc-cricket.com/matches/2624... #cricket 🏏

Eimear Richardson becomes the first woman to both take a wicket & be dismissed 'hit wicket' in T20 cricket. Remarkably, there's nearly 17 years between the two occasions: the wicket was taken on Aug 1 2008 & she was dismissed today #cricket 🏏 cricketireland.ie/matches/?tab...

In the current Hants v Worcs match, Adam Finch dismissed Ali Orr 'hit wicket' for the 2nd time in their careers. It's the 41st instance of a bowler dismissing the same batter multiple times in Men's FC cricket & the 1st time since 1994. #cricket 🏏 www.espncricinfo.com/series/count...

ECBD v India 50 overs ECBD 353/5 Heath 18* Threlkeld 4*

All 10 batters out 'caught' in a Women's ODI innings: AUS 🇦🇺 v NZL 🇳🇿 , Mount Maunganui, 2015-16 WIN 🏝️ v RSA 🇿🇦 , Cave Hill, 2025 Also the 10th time in all Women's List A matches #cricket 🏏 www.espncricinfo.com/series/south...

No choke, no joke. Congratulations to South Africa, world champions of men's Test cricket. #WTCFinal #AusvSA

Munsey's innings of 191 is the best by an associate player in ODIs (previous best 177 by Paul Stirling v Canada in 2010) and also the best against an associate team, beating a record that had stood since the 1996 World Cup - Gary Kirsten's 188 against the UAE. And it wasn't enough.

12-0 for England v West Indies across the men's & women's white ball series. As expected with the enormous inequalities in the game. How long this is sustainable, and whether the Big 3 boards who run the game have any interest in meaningful reform is the question (spoiler - they don't). #ENGvWI

Vinushka Silva dismissed 'obstructing the field' in the Ace Capital v Kurunegala Youth T20 match in Colombo as non-striker & from a wide. www.espncricinfo.com/series/major... #cricket 🏏

Have attempted over the years to find and catalogue as much women's cricket footage available online as possible. This now amounts to links to over 4,000 videos. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... This newsreel of Muriel Maxted is the earliest dated piece on the list. bsky.app/profile/hypo...

Last time each ICC full member played a men's bilateral game against an associate side: Afghanistan – 2025 Bangladesh - 2025 South Africa – 2025 Australia – 2024 Ireland – 2024 New Zealand – 2023 West Indies – 2023 Zimbabwe – 2023 Sri Lanka - 2022 England – 2018 Pakistan – 2018 India – 2007

You won’t see a scorecard like this very often:

Extraordinary scene at Women's T20 World Cup Asia qualifier. With rain already hitting several games, UAE raced to 192/0 (16.0) vs Qatar, and with declaration not an option in T20, padded up & retired out 10 batters in succession. Qatar 29 ao. UAE won by 163. www.icc-cricket.com/matches/2593...

Trent Boult is the 4th bowler to have 'hit wicket' dismissals in all 3 formats. The others are Wahab Riaz, Lockie Ferguson & Mitchell Starc. #cricket 🏏

2026 will see Lord's host a women's Test for the first time, and England host the Women's T20 World Cup. It will also be 100 years since the foundation of the Women's Cricket Association. Would be great to see governing bodies, media & institutions go all in to commemorate a landmark summer.

9 years since the last 'hit wicket' in Women's FC cricket & then 2 in a match, taken by the same bowler. 4th instance of 2 dismissals in the same match; 2nd time a bowler has taken 2 'hit wicket' dismissals in the same game. www.bcci.tv/domestic/sen... #cricket 🏏

Apparently there was a women's tournament in Dushanbe, the Tajik capital, in 2012. It involved Tajikistan, Afghanistan and at least one other team. Does anyone at all have any details for this? I have not even been able to find dates. Scores would be great too!

Good News - Cricket Archive have reclassified 17 women's matches played in New Zealand in the 1930s as first-class - agreeing, finally, with my assessment and list for those matches.

There's no full stream on the CA website, but there's a fixed camera/no commentary stream available on YouTube: m.youtube.com/watch?v=niBF...
