I asked a bunch of English spinners, anonymously, about the challenges facing them in county cricket and the realities of their position.
What followed was hours of revealing insight that the game could learn from.

This is Danni Wyatt-Hodge's eighth T20 World Cup, her third century in her 181st T20I appearance; England have only ever played 46 without her.
After becoming a mum last month, a career highlight on a near-perfect night.

As expected after the final warmup game, Amy Jones opens for England with Danni Wyatt-Hodge. Nat Sciver-Brunt at three, Alice Capsey at four. The rest is as had become clear through May.

Your XI to kick start our home T20 World Cup! 😍

And it all looked to be going so well...
JB Bruges vs Antwerp Anchors had conspicuously not started despite clear skies. Word is we're looking at a no-show forfeit. That usually only means one thing.

Cool to see Sheridon Gumbs - on a one-month contract - making his first-class debut today for Leicestershire, four years after a couple of One Day Cup appearances for Surrey as an 18-year-old.
17 Aug 2022
A piece on a day well spent watching Sheridon Gumbs and Nico Reifer. Maintain that the Royal London Cup isn't a 'development competition' per se, but if it offers opportunities for quality youngsters like these guys, then that could never be a bad thing.

Charlie Dean has become the leader that England have been crying out for.
Cool to chat with her ahead of the T20 World Cup, having spent the last month as stand-in captain.

Ethan Bamber is the second-highest wicket-taker in Division One.
Watching him grow from an overly-apologetic youngster full of self-doubt into one of the best seamers in the country has been a joy.
So pleased to have this chat:

A pleasure to spend four days watching Dan Lawrence, the leading run-scorer on the circuit, with the most hundreds in the country.

Keith Piper obituary: “the most natural keeper of his generation; maybe of all time”:

"His keeping, so agile, so sound, so apparently effortless, stood out almost immediately.

As in here, Gloucestershire have signed NZ seamer Kristian Clarke for the next two Champo games - Liam Scott still due to arrive for the next Blast block, replacing Duan Jansen, who's the leading wicket-taker in the competition:

Has added a fairly silly 62-ball hundred to this - now the leading run-scorer in Division One. Would, again, recommend the highlights.
Jun 7
Would highly recommend finding Dan Lawrence's highlight reel from the first double hundred of his career.
Outrageous knock - 218 in 190 balls - including all his greatest hits. Also has the most Champo centuries in the country. 4,400 in to see it.

Sad news of the passing of Keith Piper One of the most naturally gifted keepers you’ll ever see Great hands Made it look so easy. Instrumental in @WarwickshireCCC success in the 1990’s Would have graced any international team, any. Above all, such a nice guy. RIP my friend
