✍️ Sorry Surrey struggle to raise their game as Elwiss steers the Blaze to bonus point win Richard’s report from Trent Bridge as he tested out the food festival…and watched some cricket noughtiechildpodca.wixsite.com/my-site/post...

Finished my degree so celebrated by running a half marathon solo ✅🎓🏃‍♀️ A nice way to end three years of living in Manchester where I started running again during first year

Unusual situation: Umpire Amy Clark was struck in the head and was taken off the field. Lancs assistant coach Clinton Perren is umpiring at square leg Lancashire still need 87 to win v Yorkshire

My summer of cricket will be cut a bit short this year but for very good reason! 🇩🇰🇩🇪 Looking forward to exploring plenty of sport in Aarhus & Munich over the next two years as well as developing academically 🎓

Delighted & honoured to have made my Wisden Debut in the 2026 Almanack 🏏 The inaugural Tier 1 T20 Blast Finals Day was very memorable so it was a pleasure to write about it A few years ago I inherited my grandad’s Wisden collection so this is a very special one to add to it

Forecast isn’t too promising but back up in Chester-Le-Street to commentate on Durham v Essex in the One Day Cup 🌧️

✍️ Impressive Lewis continues to dominate as Lancashire crush Durham in season opener Richard’s words from a very chilly Chester-Le-Street noughtiechildpodca.wixsite.com/my-site/post...

Lovely to be back on commentary as Durham started their season against ODC defending champions, Lancashire 🎙️

A new world record 👏

I will say finishing a degree, preparing to move country, moving out of my uni house etc all coinciding with a chaotic cricket season isn’t ideal but very much looking forward to an exciting 2026 season!

This week we are so pleased to be joined by Gloucestershire’s Alice Bird who speaks to us about her new podcast all about cricket and mental health 🧠 The first ep will be out 31st March so please check out her podcast social media [extracoverpod] 🏏 open.spotify.com/episode/2LhO...

As mentioned on the pod, my cricket team are raising money for BEAT, the UK Eating Disorder Charity by running/cycling 1001km in March as a group (I’m currently at 126km & knackered 🤣) Ofc no pressure but please donate if you feel able! www.gofundme.com/f/mmu-womens-cricket-march-beat-fundraiser

New episode out now all about the ‘jumping the shark’ moment for women’s cricket…the Hundred auction open.spotify.com/episode/5ODz...

Almost everyone in the room is male. A room full of men bidding on women. If you can't see a problem here, you are the problem.

Happy International Women’s Day from Toronto where today is only 23hrs long! 🇨🇦 Used my limited hours wisely by attending my first PWHL game 🏒

New episode out now reacting the World Cup fixtures, the many bilateral series happening around the world as well as some of the latest news in women’s cricket open.spotify.com/episode/3bjW...

Great to hear from Odedra in this piece. I am a bit puzzled as to why everyone seems so puzzled by the lack of South Asian representation in women's cricket, though. Women in sport are subject to racism too. Combine that with sexism (in a little thing known as intersectionality), and here we are.

Very grateful Mikhail Shaidorov is the Olympic champion & gets skate in the iconic panda costume on the world stage in easily the most ridiculous but entertaining performance of the gala 🤣 No gold medalist quite like Misha! #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #WinterOlympics

Olivia Smart & Tim Dieck having a kick about on the ice in Spain training kit & skating to Freed From Desire…this is why the Olympic gala is the best 🤣 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #WinterOlympics

Lovely to catch up with @00childpodcast.bsky.social in London last night. Feeling slightly… er… “delicate” this morning tho 😝

Alysa Liu has not stopped smiling throughout the Olympics & finishes with Gold 🥇👑 She came back on her own terms & does it because she loves it. Feel like we all need to take a leaf out of her book #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #WinterOlympics2026

AMBER GLENN, EVERYONE 👏 Her final skate in the women’s singles free skate ends with a BANG.

Stress levels through the roof and I’m neither American or Canadian 🏒 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #USACAN #WinterOlympics2026

Isabel was great fun to chat to! If you’re looking to hear more about any of the European teams that have qualified, we’ve got plenty of episodes from over the years 🇳🇱

The camaraderie in this Women’s Big Air Final is so beautiful to watch. Many amazing storylines so far in this Olympics, the genuine support & appreciation for each other’s quality is so cool to see #MilanoCortina #Olympics2026

New episode out now discussing the Netherlands’ route to the World Cup, RCB’s WPL success & the new (surprising) Australia captain open.spotify.com/episode/1pk4...

Delighted to see the Netherlands qualify for the World Cup this summer 🇳🇱🏆 It’s no secret that we’ve been very keen for them to qualify after seeing them at the European qualifiers this summer 🤣

Netherlands women's captain Babette de Leede: "We're one of the few countries with no contracts at all. We're an Associate country, where cricket is very small, but we made sure that everyone bought into this dream, and our dream has come true" #T20WorldCup #WT20WCQ

A full day of England v Sri Lanka & WPL 🏏💻 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Humorous? We’re now a comedy podcast apparently thanks to some great OOC one liners from interviews 3+ years ago New episode out now with very serious cricket discussion as always

The ECB have sold The Hundred for short-term gain, but long term what are the implications?..... This piece on the dominance of the BBCI and their control of the ICC is worth 10 minutes of your time. www.cricketetal.com/p/mustafissure

Now can everyone learn to pronounce her name correctly? (It's "Ke-steven" not "Kes-te-ven"!)

2026 has begun very well as I’m excited to say that I’ve started freelancing at BBC Sport as a Journalism Researcher 💻 Wrapped up my first weekend in the office covering a very chaotic FA Cup 3rd round (yes my first game was Macclesfield v Crystal Palace!) ⚽️

Been another fun year on the podcast 🎙️ Some really interesting insights from Mabel Reid this week about the role cricket coaches and clubs play in supporting neurodiversity See you in 2026!

Having two Lionesses nominated for #BBCSPOTY was sadly always going to split the vote so it’s not a huge surprise neither Hannah Hampton or Chloe Kelly are not in the top three

Make sure to vote tonight for Davina Perrin who is nominated for the 2025 BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year 🏏 All the details linked below ⬇️ bbc.in/3MRhVKh

Our Christmas episode will be out Friday eve/Saturday morning as we’ll be tuning in to BBC SPOTY & keeping an eye on Young SPOTY 🏏 It’s going to be a 2025 highlights episode plus an interview so if you have any highlights you want to share drop them below ⬇️

It was a pleasure to speak to Davina Perrin, who is nominated for the Young Sports Personality of the Year award this evening, about dealing with expectation, being an inspiration and that century in The Hundred Eliminator.

Great to finally get to air some dirty laundry about the 2021 (ish) Worcestershire Women’s League 🤣

Great to be back after a quick break. Lots of cricket going on globally even if it’s freezing in England 🎙️ Very international this week as we look at the Emerging Nations Trophy & the various concerning situations with Bangladesh

A divided crowd tonight with a significant number of United fans booing & some clapping every time Mary Earps touches the ball #UWCL

Members of the Lancashire Women’s Cricket Team are in attendance and have been celebrated at half time for their success in the T20 County Cup & One Day Cup this season 🏏🌹

Out of office for a week so no podcast out this Friday but the usual schedule will resume next week when the WBBL will be underway 🎙️ 🇺🇸🇨🇦✈️

✍️ Man City 1-0 West Ham: Missed opportunities as City find win over West Ham Missed opportunities is putting it mildly 🙃 www.vavel.com/en/football/...

Ahead of kick off at the Joie Stadium, there’s been a proposal!💍 Probably the most Barclays WSL place to get engaged 🤣
