🏏 A little bit of history as 🇲🇳 Mongolia get their first win in international cricket. The Women's team beat Bahrain by 3 wickets in the ACC Premier Cup!

It is utterly baffling to me that following the Laws of the game is perceived as being contrary to the much-lauded Spirit of the same game

If the number three isn't ready for the second ball of the innings then they should be out. Pathetic for CAN to apologise too. Back your players!

New record (10) for most batters dismissed 'lbw' in all Women's T20s in the MAW 🇲🇼 v ZAM 🇿🇲 match in Botswana. 7 Zambian batters were dismissed 'lbw', equalling the record for the most in an innings #cricket 🏏 www.espncricinfo.com/series/bca-k...

Australia equalled 2 catching records in the Test against India - 8 in India's 1st innings & 15 for the match. It's the 12th time 8 catches have been taken in an innings (8 by Australia); 15 in a match has occurred 3 times - all by Australia. #cricket 🏏 #AUSvIND

Non-strikers out 'obstructing the field' in internationals: Mhd Hafeez, PAK v RSA, 12-13 JJ Roy, ENG v RSA, 2017 AA Patil, IND v BAN, 2018 XM Marshall, USA v UAE, 19-20 H Lin Oo, MYA v INA, 24-25 K Ramaharck, WIN v SRI, 25-26 #cricket 🏏

Some confusion on the last ball, as Ramharack seemed to be out obstructing the field, but the scorecard hasn't updated. West Indies restricted to 101 or 101/9 (20.0) Matthews 28 (36) Taylor 14 (24) Madara 3-16 De Silva 3-20 #WIvSL espncricinfo.com/series/sri-l... youtube.com/watch?v=aVDu...

According to my research, Dottin is just the 2nd batter to be dismissed 'obstructing the field' off a wide.

A very messy decision. Sri Lanka were appealing for handled ball, then hit ball twice and the umpires dug themselves a hole which they couldn't get out from.

Deandra Dottin has been given out obstructing the field v Sri Lanka.

Anyone interested in cricket stats should see women's cricket as a great area to get into, as it's still in the exciting, pioneering stage men's cricket went through a century or so ago - compiling and defining the foundational stats - combined with all the tools of the digital age.

@acscricket.bsky.social Committee agreed a list of women's matches to be judged as first-class. The list can be found at archive.acscricket.com/research/wom... . Comments welcome. We don't have full scores for some of these matches, so any help in doing research to find them would be very welcome.

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

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.

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
