Let’s not forgot today is Suzie Bates final ODI game -183 Matches- 4th all time -5970 runs- 4th highest ODI (23 runs to over take Charlotte Edwards to go 3rd) -13 100s & 37 50s -HS 168 -38.02 Average with 79.41 SR - 83 W @ 34.13, Best figure 4-7 - 94 catches What a career from Suzie

I'm going to take credit for inspiring her

Charlie Dean for PM!

So... All those below-the-line people on the BBC Sports page are going to be praising Edwards for her blooding of new players, right? #ENGvsNZ

What better way for Charlie Dean to prove her captaincy chops than doing a "captain's innings" right now. #ENGvsNZ

The wild ragged edge country rock of #Florry was quite magnificent yesterday at the Moth Club. #GigGang

Pop punk max out last night. #Currls are always a joy to see live. And they do great merch. #GigGang went home very satisfied.

Unlikely, but a gentlemen on McClusky t-shirt bought a fair few records off of me at the gig in wales and something had gone awry with the payment. Undoubtedly my fault but if you could get in touch.

I can’t wait to experience another home World Cup 🏆 Please get in touch if you need someone to cover it!

England have named their squad for the Women's T20 World Cup, with uncapped left-arm spinner Tilly Corteen-Coleman included as Charlotte Edwards' side set out to retain their record of having never failed to win a World Cup staged on home soil | @nickfriend.bsky.social

Friend of mine told me earlier that she'd witnessed people playing quidditch on an Oxford cricket pitch today. The end times cometh.

England's opener at the Women's T20 World Cup – and the final at Lord's – will be broadcast on free-to-air television.

Here's Lauren's post match thoughts following a pretty stellar performance by her yesterday

Danni doing what Danni does! 😍 An important 5⃣0⃣ to back up her century last week 👊 Surrey are 195/5 after 28 overs, requiring 62 more to win. Stay updated 📺 www.kiaoval.com/match-centre... 🖤 | #OneDayCup

Fab day at the Oval. A very exciting game where Armitage's century and Filer's fivefer wasn't enough to stop Surrey's rampage marshalled by Danni Wyatt-Hodge.

Right time to catch the bus... Looking forward to watching my first game in the flesh this year.

Nat Sciver-Brunt is again one of the England players "managing their workload" this weekend by not playing. Over the past 3 seasons she has played just five T20s (4 in 2023) & just one 50 over game for The Blaze.

Rushes towards the YouTube to see what she did...

The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know but you can talk about artists other than Geese josaleighpollett.bandcamp.com/album/in-the... aplaceforowls.bandcamp.com/album/how-we... perennialtheband.bandcamp.com/album/perenn... elliottgreenmusic.bandcamp.com/album/s-t

Danni Wyatt-Hodge is definitely in the mood. 50 of 35 balls.

This is the right benchmark. The question I have is whether the right infrastructure is there. What I saw during the rugby world cup was amazing use of social media/podcasts to demonstrate both the technical side of the game and the personalities within it. Not yet sure cricket has that covered.

A very special day for @isaguha receiving her MBE for services to inclusivity and Cricket. Congratulations from all your friends & colleagues in the BBC Cricket team. #bbccricket

Not good enough to be considered for a place in The 100 or even county cricket though. Worth underlining several of these boundaries by Fatima Sana have been hit off the same South African bowlers that Melie Kerr is rightly earning acclaim for taking apart.

ICYMI:

Amelia Kerr’s 179* helped New Zealand women’s team chase down South Africa’s 346/6 which is the highest successful run-chase in a women’s ODI. Kerr’s 179 took a mere 139 balls with a strike rate of 128.78. New Zealand won with 2 balls to spare. #cricketcounts

If you see this post a gig photo you took.

bad news from London this morning: you're dressed wrong for this weather

Great to see

Wong's extra pace doing for Lamb, in contrast to Gibson being carted to the fence by Capsey?

50 ball hundred for Sophia Dunkley. Team Brittin 185/2 (17.3) with 15 balls to go. #ENGvENG live.nvplay.com/ecb/?tab=m_s... livestream youtube.com/watch?v=jwty...

Great century by Dunkley for Team Brittin. And then out!

Gibson is the captain of #THF over Scrivens today. I'm expecting some #Bingo on Sunday @crickether.com
