Yes I forgot it was 2 not 1 point for a tie.

Lancashire vs Yorkshire is game for pride and the battle of the Roses. More importantly it’s Kate Cross and Fi Morris last ever professional game, so important for a win to see them out

Surrey placed in 3rd (36 points) & Somerset 4th (35 points) They play each other on Saturday, who ever wins that goes in to the Semi against Blaze/Hampshire. Surrey can make the Semi with just a Tie.

Metro Bank Women Tier 1 One Day cup Permutations One round of group games left Hampshire and Blaze tied on 56 points each, both through to knockouts however Hampshire have no more games left so fate rests in Blaze hands on who goes straight to the final.

Just walked past Lords There are members queuing to get in, and more and more England shirts arriving. The gates don’t open for another hour or so and already and atmosphere is building. This is going to be a good day. #T20WorldCup #ENGvAUS

Today 9 years later I’m making that same journey and today feels like it’s going to be an even bigger day for the game in this country and the one that put the game on the map. There really is only one top appropriate for today #T20WorldCup #ENGvAUS

23rd July 2017 I made the same journey I’m making today for another women’s World Cup final at Lords That day felt like it was a going to be a turning point for the Women’s game and we were treated to a final fitting of the game

Playing 5 openers probably wasn’t the wisest of choices

Not sure a Thursday school night will be much better tbh. No coincidence the best crowds have been Friday Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons

Although in some respects it would have been good to get a day time practice game in before the final. They’ve only played night games so far

The only one left would be Knight. Wouldn’t be my choice (I’d drop Jones) but it’s the only other left.

She will be lucky to get away with that. It was clear and serious descent that would be level 2 in any other game. The decision was correct, the sound wave is continuous and pictures are not, a frame either side is part of the decision making.

With UltraEdge, it's clear people still don't understand the difference between discrete video frames, and a (basically) continuous microphone measurement. Matthews has clearly hit the ball between the still frames, and the spike in the sound signal shows it #cricket #EngWvWIW 🏏

Small sample size but We’ve had 3 games in the WC now and no side has scored more than 132 in the second innings chasing, and all chasing sides have lost. Could end up being a win toss and bat tournament #T20WorldCup

Jack Rule @jackrule.bsky.social · 13/06/2026
It’s bad enough that we have 2 drinks breaks, heavens knows why in England of all places (oh that’s right TV!). But constantly having to wait for TV to come back when the players are standing there waiting is getting infuriating! #T20WorldCup

“The BBC is taking around 270 staff to the World Cup, many of whom are expected to stay in a five-star hotel, and 17 commentators.” - Telegraph Not World Cup 2026, but the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the BBC had a studio abroad. Paper also criticises cost of the studio.

We can stop this silly idea of players reviewing no balls and wides right now. We just wasted 5 minutes for no reason and without anyone in the ground having any idea what is going on. #T20Worldcup

This isn't just Scotland's first win at the women's T20 World Cup. It's the first win by any associate member at any women's World Cup in any format since the ICC took over women's cricket in 2005.

Have literally never seen any women's professional cricketers complain or be ungrateful about £100K+ contracts. Also in my experience, when quizzed about equal pay, women's professionals in the UK very specifically don't argue they should be paid as much as men's players.

She shouldn’t be establishing an anchor when you’re opening the innings, that just sets a tone that falls down the rest of the side.

Who they need is Meg Lanning, I wonder if we can get her fast tracked to an English passport

Jack Rule @jackrule.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Her technique is all over the place. She inconsistent, her running between the wickets is poor. She hit one score of 85 against a poor Surrey attack, yet has been getting out cheaply rest of the time. I watched her against Thunder and she was all over the place.
