To all those who work across cricket and the thousands of volunteers who give countless hours to make it all happen - thank you

Muriel Maxted is almost unknown these days, but in the 1920s she regularly featured in national and international newspapers as an outstanding woman cricketer and one of the first to play in men's teams. Playing at first for her home town, Ashford (Kent) and then Folkstone, between 1921 and 1926 she took 561 wickets against men at an average of around 5! A short clip of her batting and bowling can be found here - britishpathe.com/video/a-dr-…

Bought a ticket for this final the moment they were released a year ago.
And now I get to take my Mum to Lord’s on Sunday to see England women in a home World Cup final.
It’s not just about the younger generation but the oldies too 😉
Yes, the matching sunnies are coming too

Betty Archdale was the first captain of England's women's side, leading them on the tour of Australia and NZ in 1934-35. She earned the nickname among team-mates of Hitler on account of her leadership style and haircut! She later moved to Australia and in 1999 was one of the first women to be made an honorary member of the MCC
