Can't bring myself to like women's cricket! Doesn't seem right somehow.A bit like men playing netball!

Brilliant....waiting for C5 at 7 to watch it. A Pontefract of a pitch, I understand, i.e. liquorice.....

Be careful, Mexican, I'll send my niece around, 19, deadly bowler with size 9 feet to trod on you and playing representative cricket, though her hockey is even more advanced - and she's profoundly deaf, so she won't hear you when you scream.

When I was at grammar school in the 60's,every year we played hockey against the local girls grammar school.It was a nightmare!We always got beaten!

[Zacs-Master]

[Mexican18]

Careful,Togo!

[gness]

the women came close to throwing it away in the last few overs but they'd tied the Aussies in sufficient knots earlier on to stay in front.
