It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.
Screenshot of the Wisden transcript: Lord Cricket Ground. In another historic moment for the venue, it will play host to the first ever women's Rotterdeck test match at the home of cricket, starting on Friday, July 10th, exactly 50 years since Rachel Ho Ho Flint first led out an England women's team at Lord's.
Having a bit of a giggle over the fact that the Wisden podcast transcription has RHF down as Rachael Ho Ho Flint.
Think she would be having a chuckle too, if she could see it.
Many are the repositories whose digitized collections are held together by paper clips & twine paid for with an uncertain budget that may not get renewed in the next fiscal year because there’s long been a zeal to “just” digitize things but not to invest in their careful documentation & maintenance.

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.
Almost everyone in the room is male.
A room full of men bidding on women.
If you can't see a problem here, you are the problem.
Are England ready to win another home World Cup? It was only a year ago that they were bageled by Australia in the Ashes, a defeat so damaging it brought down the hierarchy. Head coach Jon Lewis was sacked and Heather Watson lost the captaincy after nine years.
Slightly embarrassing that this was a) written and b) escaped the attention of the sub-editors.
If anything, the shop where we bought it on Valentine’s Day is even more gorgeous…
You need the sound up for this one.

Today is a dark day for anyone who believes in sanctuary in the UK.
People who've fled war and torture should be able to rebuild their lives in peace and security - not live under a constant threat of removal.
We must not stop fighting these appalling anti-refugee laws.
a whalebone carving on a little plastic stand. shaped a bit like a child's drawing of a bell but oddly boxy, it has a crooked face made of crude and extremely mismatched holes that together form a look of benign confusion and maybe a coming sneeze. it has an enormous bellybutton (?) but no other features such as limbs or any earthly explanation. i love him and you do too
hey guys? i need you to look at buddo real quick

BREAKING: Due to the political situation, ECB are delaying England Women’s departure to Abu Dhabi for their scheduled training camp. It’s possible it may be called off altogether - that’s TBC.
Another potential blow to England’s WC preparation, given they have no bilateral cricket scheduled.

DIET TIPS 1. If no one sees you eat it, FUDGE has no calories. 2. When you eat a piece of FUDGE with a diet drink, they cancel each other. 3. When used for medicinal purposes, FUDGE calories don't count. 4. Small FUDGE pieces do not contain calories because everyone knows breakage causes calorie leakage.

I picked this up years ago at a country fair in Vermont.
Still valuable advice.

Just seen a video of Jimmy Anderson bowling in the nets with his Lancashire bobble hat on. Cricket season's coming, cricket season's coming 😁 🏏
Great to hear from Odedra in this piece.
I am a bit puzzled as to why everyone seems so puzzled by the lack of South Asian representation in women's cricket, though. Women in sport are subject to racism too.
Combine that with sexism (in a little thing known as intersectionality), and here we are.
Paul nails exactly what annoys me so much about these cases: it is pretty rare to dig on a site and be shocked by what you find! It certainly happens but if you’ve done prelim research appropriately, you should know enough to budget enough.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
