You might remember this pic of me holding the bats of Don Bradman and W.G. Grace from couple of weeks ago. Well, the full story of how I found them is below. It was a pretty crazy trip to the US! 👇🏻 ✍️

Two days of champo cricket at New Road is genuinely good for the soul. Couldn’t have asked for a lovelier time.

Gordon is gas. Triple-wicket over skittled Ireland’s middle order in the chase. Had a great chat with her in Edinburgh. 👇🏻

Scotland Women have just recorded, I believe, their first ever win over Bangladesh. Whisper it quietly, but they look a very good, and well-drilled, side. I think they might surprise a few people at the WWC. 👀

It’s gonna take a while to accept I won’t see Kane Williamson bat in a Test again. Even watching him bat for hours in the nets was always soothingly hypnotic. Williamson running the ball late past the slips to the deep third boundary is a tableau of understated, exquisite beauty.

Ditto.
I fear Ben Stokes is going. And I hope he doesn't:

Katherine Bryce is in some serious form with bat and ball. Really looking forward to seeing how Scotland fare in their group.

"Many questions remain unanswered, and the true gauge of England's current standing is yet to come, both at home and away.

Thoughts from the first Test. England dealt with the conditions better than NZ and won. In normal times, that would be enough to satisfy most people. These are not normal times. 👇🏻
"Ollie Robinson, the biggest English comeback since Oasis? Bazball 3.0… keep going or kick it to the curb? How much does all this matter?"
A chaotic opening Test leaves several questions unanswered | ✍️ @melindafarrell
