Jacob Bethell becomes the youngest England player to reach a century in all 3 formats

Beating Harry Brook who achieved the feat 10 days ago.

So the listing is apparently based on how much interest there is for the players

Goes to show my fear as suspected that those picking the players in the womens game don’t actually watch or know the womens game

Someone needs to have a word with who ever has done the classifications for The Hundred long list

Seren Smale a higher WK than Threlkeld!!

AJW a Tier 2 spinner!!

Pep Guardiola didn't back down about the boos at Elland Road as play paused to allow Muslim players to break their fast for Ramadan.

“It’s a modern, modern world, right? You all [saw] what happened in the world again today, right? Respect the religions, respect the diversity, that is the point.”

Zimbabwe Women have fought back well to post a score against New Zealand.

From 10-7 in the 8th over to post 64-9

Adel Zimunu 20 (23)
Audrey Mazvishaya 20* (37)

Gives Zimbabwe something to defend

Did someone put the NZ anthem on 1.5x speed just then, certainly sounded like they were rushing through that.

I really need to try and get to this next year.
Looks like some really interesting research has been completed.

Not a great start for the new captain to be injured already after only doing 1 series.

Does bring into question again if she was the right choice.

I will be singing O Flower of Scotland with great Gusto.
My family originally come from Scotland so I have a soft sport for them.

I was always doing a double header at my home ground regardless of who was playing in the games.

But those last 3 tests where they did well had one thing on their side.
They were playing at home in their own conditions, which are very very different to those they will face at the WACA.

Plus I don’t think you can really use the South Africa results as a measure of a Test team.

What a knock from Pathum Nissanka!

Brilliant 100 (52 balls)

That’s a knock that has almost knocked Australia out of the World Cup.

As much as I want Ireland to go through, I’m a Zimbabwe fan tomorrow

That victory makes Scotland the Linear World champions and holders of Raeburn Shield, and back in the original holders hands.

Oh Flower of Scotland!!!
