I watched most of that match between the West Indies Women and England Women.

The issue, in my view, is that the women’s game is professionalising so rapidly that players and techniques can get left behind. Danni Hazell has been playing international cricket for best part of a decade and has to some extent been carried by that wave of professionalism. But the younger players coming through – especially some of the young spinners, look, to me, to be in a completely different (by which I mean much higher quality) league.

I’ve not yet seen Lindsey Smith play, but Gordon and Ecclestone look like seriously class acts to me.

Meanwhile, KC, phrases such as “YO!” and “We wondering…” do set me wondering too.

The answer to a selection conundrum is always 11

I think some of us noticed it, but worried it might be the early stages of a mid-life crisis, so kept quiet in case it transpired that the author was now writing all posts whilst wearing a backwards baseball cap and ‘pretty seriously looking into getting a motorcycle’.

We wondering what we’d have to do to get people to notice that section and sign up to stuff. A month of YO! and one person has eventually noticed it. Success.

At least one more, Miss Swann, as always.
