Always pleasing to see evidence of my work contributing to ACS's publications
Every now and then a trend/meme pops up that I have no clue what it's about, and my reaction is "I think I'll just let this one pass"
We seem to hear a lot in general from senior Labour MPs who don't sound like Labour MPs, so it's good to hear this. As ever I have zero interest in the internal politics of the Labour party
My club.
Last year, @acscricket.bsky.social adopted a definitive list of women's first-class matches.
Thanks to Cricket Archive, we have now supplemented the existing women's international records on our website with an extensive range of women's first-class, List A and T20 records.

When England play Scotland, it comes naturally to support the team with closer Gloucestershire connections
Trying to remember how far ahead of the start of the last women's world cup the fixtures were confirmed
Beyond my wildest childhood fantasies!
A couple of months back I was wanting something different to read so thought I couldn't go far wrong trying one of your recommendations. Thanks for this suggestion, I loved it! Such smart writing, never quite knew where it was going next
Love this, although George Grace is usually referred to by his middle name Fred
I rather like this older stuff of theirs!
Thank you, that certainly helps. Interesting, definitely not a dive or a run, so the only thing that counts is if the bat was grounded or not
I'm trying to piece together what CricketHer are referring to: this is the first I've read of it. That law has always seemed to work well up to now, so a counter example is always going to be illuminating. Sounds like Lee's bat bounced up but she was only placing it down?
Are there any available pictures of Lee's dismissal?
I don't subscribe to The Cricketer so don't know what this says, but it can only be a good thing!
The UK National Health Service has very clear information on all major medical conditions.
It is browsable by all
Never EVER rely on an LLM for health advice

Club and county priorities can differ (I'm thinking particularly of youth cricket). This creates an "us and them" vibe, but understandably both parties are just trying to survive.
By "members of private clubs", is Emma referring to county cricket, or something different?
I'm more of a county fan, but the job of ECB is to work wholeheartedly for both.
I wonder, looking at this, if there might be a rethink - in either direction - about what matches are considered women's List A
You're probably right, but the Glos attack that day wasn't the worst. CE Phillips, CR Phillips, Dolman, Hill are still with the county. Robbins is with Somerset. Only Lucy Gladdy has moved on, and she had an economy that day of 6.71, and took Kelly's wicket
I started listening to it after your previous recommendation. Thank you! This season has been particularly stunningly good.
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.
Nice to stumble across fellow Brookmyre fans.
That sounds a real shame, and not what I expected at all
That is an article I'd very much like to read
At first glance thought it was someone with head in hands, which feels about right
I'm glad you recognise Cheltenham College as a bona fide 1st team venue.
