rant incoming..... I've no f****** idea who won the second warm up game - been faffing about with apps and tickets for the world cup as part of T&Cs you have to use your phone, have downloaded the app, have signed your life away to google play with paypal or a credit card

anyone else loving the karma that India get when retiring Yastikaa....? and if anyone holds stats on batters retired out, she must be top!

interestingly, Somerset live stream of their blast game has a lot of adverts in for local businesses, events, sponsors etc been done in a controlled way, no issue with it, but confirms cost of putting on live stream and team

reminder of this podcast I missed at the time from @acscricket.bsky.social , but found on @hypocaust.bsky.social site, an interview with womens ICC statistician Marion Collin before the last T20 WWC in south africa podtail.com/podcast/the-...

some interesting discussion on TMS with Ali Mitchell, Katey Martin, Isa Guha covering lots of pre-WWC topics incl, teams, conditions, Ecclestone, Capsey, NSB, Knight

The queen of English cricket seeks another crown "For over 30 years Charlotte Edwards has been at the heart of the women's game in the country. Now she stands on the verge of one of her biggest challenges" A (very) long read by @rafnicholson.bsky.social

great to hear some of julia price on the feed from ireland for the tri-series, today Pak v WI great cricket feel, info and detail, but runs the risk of things tripping of the tongue such as AUSTRALIA 114-3...!!! 😂😅🤣

@englishheritage.bsky.social thanks to the team at Eltham today, first through the door this morning, finally out after 2pm, great members week tour, great audio guide to pick up the other bits, managed to see some of gardens before it got too hot AND a tea pot that didn't drip - what's not to like!

whilst it is constantly annoying when a commentator piss-pronounces an unfamiliar name, even more so when its THEIR side.... nick from essex beleives it is shrivens and lizzy opening....🤦

Very excited that The Women in Whites: A History of Women’s Cricket is out on 1 June! 🏏📖 To celebrate, I’m doing two launch events: 💻 Online launch Wed 3 June, 7–8pm BST Email [email protected] for the link

On this day in 1951, we became the World's First Preserved Railway. 75 years ago a group of amateurs ran a train, it wasn't a very long train and it only went as far as Rhydyronen - but it became the starting line for the global heritage railway movement, kicking off the idea...

Do you want your money to work for positive change across the UK? Across the UK, communities are watching the places that once brought people together disappear: the last pub in the village, the post office on the high street and the youth club keeping young people connected. ⬇️

#acscricket is taking over the website of ‘Women’s Cricket History’ & we are delighted that we will be able to maintain & enhance this wonderful historical record of women’s cricket via womenscrickethistory.org #RafNicholson #AlisonMitchell #NickFriend1 #cricketcounts

@mrandrewcotter.bsky.social with you a bit, if gonna have two finals, do big and small like winter sports.... but also, don't take the sitting around from them, esp when need to prepare for next round....

NEW: This new report, from BBC, is the best takedown of the insanity of Trump you will see anywhere. Calm, coherent and repeating only Trump’s own words. Devastating. Brilliant work once again from Roz Atkins. (🎥 BBC News)

Many congratulations to Marion Collin for winning the 2026 Brooke Lambert Trophy the annual @ACScricket award for contribution to cricket statistics. She has been player, scorer, umpire & statistician for 60+years. Her work for IWCC, WCA & ECB has been of the highest quality. #cricketcounts

sometimes I wonder about my musical sub-concious.... yesterdays sound track was anything you can do I can do better, and today christmas dirge I came upon a midnight clear....🙄

There's been a huge failure in our education system if this many people believe that only white people can be British. It's the bigotry of the worst form. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

not seen any mention of these fixtures or our team in uk... good experience, wonder if there'll be any coverage...?

a depressing thought, that you know but hadn't fully realised.... next winter games are in 2030, that's twenty thirty!!

bruuuuuuuuuuuce

c'mon kirrrrrrsty (but a different one!)

Repeating our appeal for anyone who can help @acscricket.bsky.social fill the gaps in scorecards for many of the 1,583 women's first-class matches (especially for Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa and the West Indies) so that the records can become even more comprehensive! #WomensCricket

yes matt weston!!! first medal, first gold! (happens to be first mens gold since robin cousins.....!)

@kwoade.bsky.social just seen your post re-used on insta, have commented

#winterolympics why use drone footage, when noise annoying to watchers and competitors, picture is worse and most of the coverage can already be acheived.... downhill maybe, but the rest - just stop!

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This has been on the horizon for some time. It's the culmination of Wakefield and weaponisation of mRNA vaccines by RFK Jr, Malhotra, Malone etc etc... @independentsage.bsky.social put this out last year. We hope it helps. Please, vaccinate your kids 🙏 independentsage.org/wp-content/u...

umm tisn't peace just cos one old white person says so......
