Really interesting to hear about the history of women and girls’ cricket in England - 3:29 - 4:17 - a fantastic listen - with your help can we find out more about Scottish women and girls’ cricket - “Honouring our Past” campaign could make a fantastic exhibition and book.
I was honoured to be invited onto BBC TMS last weekend to talk about my book, The Women in Whites: A History of Women's Cricket in England.
The interview is still available for a few hours, so do have a listen here if you missed it (3.29 onwards):

Not a bang, but a whimper: T20 Blast finals day draws women’s summer of cricket to sparse end
It has been a brilliant, record-breaking summer for women’s cricket – but it was a shame it had to end on a Friday to an empty Oval, writes @RafNicholson

Not really on Twitter anymore (except to post links) but given that I am being sub-tweeted today I am just going to say this: if we want equality for women's cricket, we cannot just be cheerleaders. We have to be able to express an opinion.

Tomorrow, England will take on India in the first ever women’s Test match played at Lord’s.
