Two years ago we had our wedding on the opening weekend of the #RHFTrophy

It seems we started a trend 😂 Congrats Tammy Beaumont!

Great piece highlighting why Meg Lanning speaking out is so important.

Yes, Sussex do have a strong history in women's cricket, but it was very little to do with the County Cricket Club.

The volunteer-run Sussex Women's Cricket Association did most of the work, so it's a bit disingenuous to now say 'oh but we developed Holly Colvin & Sarah Taylor'.

Feels like the same people who complained the counties couldn’t afford to support pro women’s teams are now expressing bafflement / anger at the fact that their county hasn’t been awarded a tier 1 team.

You can’t have it both ways!

Me for Guardian sport:

Exclusive reaction from Durham as they pip Yorkshire to the post for a Tier 1 women’s team. (Yorkshire to be added to Tier 1 in 2027.)

Plus, why did Durham’s bid impress the ECB so much?

That is a ridiculously good innings from Chamari Athapaththu. Sri Lanka had no right to win that match from there. Amazing! #SAvSL

Wonderful to be at Lords last night for the Wisden Almanack dinner - and especially great to see the living legend that is Enid Bakewell in attendance 😊

Am staggered that Rashid Khan can’t see the irony in this.

He’s “hurt” that he can ONLY play in World Cups. How does he think the Afghan women’s team feel?

Congratulations to Nat Sciver-Brunt on being named Wisden Almanack’s Leading Woman Cricketer in the World for 2023 👏

Always an honour to write for Wisden, and such great fun reliving those 2 Ashes hundreds. What a year!

Calling it the “Women’s World Cup” is sad - it began in 1973.

My review of the #ENGvNZ tour for Guardian sport:

“The jury on JonBall is still out”

Alice Capsey comes limping out to pose for the team trophy pic on crutches - slightly worrying for England. #NZvENG

That was incredible from Sophie Devine! One of the best moments of the tour. #NZvENG
