Stats highlights and trivia from match 14 of the Women's Cricket World Cup. South Africa dealt a heavy blow to Bangladesh, as they once again rose from the brink of defeat to seal victory in a dramatic run chase. #CWC25 emergencycricketblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/14/b...

The only way to read any book is prime numbered pages first, then even numbered pages working backwards, then any remaining pages ending with a 3, then whatever’s left over, but in alphabetical order of the first word on the page. Only then can you discern the author’s true intention.

We are painting the library so very many books are now stored in a guest bedroom. But this one I just had an overpowering need to re-read. It really is terrific.

Next week (Weds 22 October) we visit historians at the University of Suffolk to learn about their research and to discuss collaborative working with archivists and public historians. The visit includes a guest lecture by Tim Grady to which all are welcome bit.ly/4pWzBDu with a reception from 5pm.

Accurate. #academia #academy #philsky #philosophysky #philosophy #science

Bangladesh will be heartbroken - but once that recedes, hopefully they can take a moment to absorb just how close they came to beating 2 of the world's best sides in this tournament. They only gained ODI status in 2011 - a result like today's against South Africa is pretty remarkable. #CWC25

I had completely missed that Simon Harmer is in the SA side playing Pakistan. Excellent news and congratulations to him. Looking forward to seeing how Pakistan manage to lose this one in style from this position. Always an adventure in viewing. #PakvSA 🏏

So the result is a foregone conclusion (surely?) but that second WI innings is another plea to get these players more experience, more opportunities to develop. #IndvWI 🏏🏝️

We all love a Test match fight! 💪 John Campbell and Shai Hope became the first two batters to score a half-century on this Indian tour ✅ Their unbeaten 138* stand is now West Indies’ highest partnership for any wicket in Tests this year ✅

5/40 off 9.5 more boringly definitive. Shame on you, Annabel Sutherland. #CWC25 🏏

Eit av mine høgdepunkt med høgtideleg opning av Stortinget er å sjå korleis den utvalde statsråden handterer å lesa talen om rikets tilstand på nynorsk. Landbruksminister Sandtrøen ser ut til å ha øvd og ta oppgåva like seriøst som Hoksrud i si tid gjorde — terningkast 6!

3 for 4 off 5 overs now, for #Ecclestone. Utterly transforms the game. Some of this undoubtedly brilliant bowling. Some of it her reputation as the best - further confirmed. #Eng #SriLanka #WomensWorldCup2025 #cricket

Congratulations to Namibia M for a fine win against South Africa

Well played Nat! England's captain does it again in the Women's World Cup with 117 against Sri Lanka out of 253. Absolutely fantastic batting setting her team up for their third win in a row... #TheCricket #CWC25 #SLWvENGW

@somersetccc.bsky.social This is another lovely interview. somersetcountycc.co.uk/news/club-ne... The account of the concierge in Manchester tells me an awful lot about the character and team spirit at the Club.

The Edinburgh Journal of Botany now has its entire archives freely accessible online (if you go back far enough, you can read Beatrix Potter’s papers…) journals.rbge.org.uk

Never before have Namibian cricketers had their own facility to train and play at. Now, that's changed 🙌

What an innings by Nadine de Klerk. How on earth is she batting at number 8, and with that confidence and ability how is this her highest score? Remarkable #CWC25 #SAvIND

Nadine De Klerk you absolute monster! Having previously ground the Indian bowlers into the dust to not quite save a test match, she now pounds them to snatch an unlikely victory in their home World Cup! Cat amongst the pigeons! #CWC25 #INDvSA

ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL FINISH. #DeKlerk brings #SA home, in some style - & against the earlier flow of the game. Tremendously enjoyable match. #India #WomensWorldCup2025 #cricket

Mind you, I'd ban Jude the Obscure for being so fucking miserable.

Some time ago @kentremendous.bsky.social recommended a basic test for anything in life, from launching a new cereal to, say, building a new data center was to answer the question “Will it make Mookie [Betts] happier?” After last night’s bottom of the ninth inning, this still seems safe advice.
