Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 05/08/2025A series of such magnificent fun. Best since 2005? 0130
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 16/05/2025A story that needs sharing far and wide. Scotland’s Team of the Year for 2024 haven’t played at home in three years, and have not a single fixture scheduled anywhere. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...bbc.co.ukCricket Scotland: How women's team have gone from team of the year to no fixturesScotland women were named as their nation's team of the year in 2024, but less than six months on they have no games. BBC Sport looks at why and what needs to be done to support the associate nation. 1124
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Happy new season one and all! Remember, every ball of the County Championship is available to listen to with BBC Sport. Glorious weather for it - who can stop Surrey? #bbccricket 2210
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Considering that 30 is considered the benchmark for a big score in T20s (often seen as the equivalent of a 50 in other formats), Nat Sciver-Brunt's WPL form has been incredible. in nine innings, she's gone past 30 on eight occasions: 80* 57 42 75* 18 37 38 69 77 #bbccricket 1130
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 27/02/2025A lot to get off various chests in this podcast: t.co/DhcKGP7lnb Why does everyone enjoy England losing so much?t.cohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0ktyv8t 550
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Filled up once the crowds could beat the traffic! 110
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 13/02/2025As was discovered by England’s women during the recent Ashes, public perception on a squad having a relaxed atmosphere can become brutal very quickly if results go badly. Unfair criticism or not, getting the message right is crucial for how the team is viewed. 172
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Remarkable numbers for the Hundred sales: £470m with a valuation of the franchises of around £960m. For context into the scale, the hugely successful Surrey filed 2023/24 profits of £7.6m. The ECB for the same period had profits of £22.85m. These figures are astronomical. 3121
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Have tried to work out how Australia have got so far ahead in the last decade. Lots of possible reasons, no definitive answers. t.co/5lDqP52bMrt.cohttps://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/c04nepk34pdo 4113
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 11/01/2025He doesn’t play in it that often, but Steve Smith is elite in BBL cricket. His last seven innings have seen scores of: 101 125* 66 18 61 0 (oops) 112 Averaging 98.8. If and when he leaves Test cricket he’s got a world of T20 contracts awaiting him. 3241
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Around 24 hours until the start of the Women’s Ashes! Can England win the trophy for the first time in over a decade? www.bbc.com/sport/cricke...bbc.com 4182
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 09/01/2025One of those very frustrating days so far in Sydney. The fourth rain delay and we’ve just had the conclusion of the first innings (5.5 hours after scheduled start)! #bbccricket 063
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 05/01/2025On cold days like this, seeing footballers in their matching official gloves, I’m reminded of a simpler time. And that time was Nicolas Anelka wearing goalie gloves playing up front for France. 0100
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 03/01/2025A slightly alarming reminder that the week Luke Littler was born the top 20 included: Patience by Take That Rehab by Amy Winehouse I Don’t Feel Like Dancing by Scissor Sisters And Wayne Rooney had been playing for England for nearly four years. 5173
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 03/01/2025The 22 (17) from Jasprit Bumrah is the highest score from an Indian captain during this #AUSvIND series. It’s been a wild few weeks. 0101
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 30/12/2024What a great game of cricket, everything you could wish for from a Test match. A crowd of 373,691 across five days smashes a record held for 87 years, too. 0130
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 26/12/2024How can you not enjoy the impudence of the young modern player*? (*When it works) 4100
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Ben Stokes ruled out of all cricket for three months and will require surgery on a torn hamstring. Clearly a big blow, but given there’s no Test cricket until May there are worse times for it to have happened. Like his knee, England will hope this is a chance to get it sorted. 4135
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 17/12/2024So many really exciting performances from England Test sides in the past few days and weeks: - Carse, Bethell, Atkinson, Brook - Bell, Filer, Bouchier, MacDonald-Gay Much to be enjoyed (despite Hamilton disappointment) #bbccricket 0140
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 16/12/2024A bit ragged at times from England in the last half an hour. All a bit easy for Kapp and Luus to keep things rattling along. #bbccricket 031
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 16/12/2024One of the great slip catches from Ecclestone. Ding dong what reactions! #bbccricket 180
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Lauren Filer bowling some serious heat at Bloemfontein. You can forgive a few loose deliveries when the wicket-taking ball is just around the corner. #bbccricket 040

Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Thrilling to see the ebbs and flows of the opening day of this women’s Test match. England flying at 357-4, suddenly 391-8. Pitch turning, ball nipping about, could be a good one. #bbccricket 0131
Henry Moeran @henrymoeran.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Janette Brittin’s 137-ball ton was an England record. It happened this day in Perth in 1984 and lasted exactly 40 years. Maia Bouchier’s record of 124 balls for hers lasted exactly 29 mins. Nat Sciver-Brunt 100* off 96 has the fastest century in women’s Tests. #bbccricket 0143
