There's an interesting women's multi-format series underway between AUS-A & IND-A, with AUS-A leading 3 T20 matches to nil thanks to some good performances from the players below. But the stand-out stat is team catches: currently 19 to AUS-A vs 5 to IND-A. 3 ODIs + 1 Test to follow... #CricketSky

Love the gloved look from ump Paleker. Should be more of it e.g. pink gloves on Jane McGrath day. Even at the risk of one of the T20 leagues weaponising the trend into a third-ump-controlled smart glove that, Dr-Strangelove-style, further dramatises DRS decisions... 😉 #CricketSky

This hasn't attracted much attention, but an interesting tri-series between U19-W squads of Australia, England & Sri Lanka just concluded. The SL-U19W came out on top after a tense spinners-galore final game with AUS-U19W. ENG-U19W had a chastening but hopefully helpful set of matches. #CricketSky

This may seem harsh but, with a test batting average now of only ~24, is Harmanpreet the Mike Brearley of women's test cricket? More wickets, to be sure, but most of them came in 1 test >10 years ago. #CricketSky

Great QLD v SA WNCL match saw SA squeak home via a record 10th wicket chasing partnership between Darcie Brown & Eleanor Larosa. Darcie had already taken a 5fer while Eleanor wasn't called on to bowl, so maybe that's the motivation key. Sianna Ginger's creditable 4fer not quite enough. #CricketSky
