Given my bio, here is the piece I wrote for Emerging Cricket last year on Indonesian women's cricket, and the infrastructure that launched the senior team to a T20I ranking of 21 and the U19s to Indonesia's first ever global ICC event.

This is so good; brief, direct, punchy.

An excellent piece on attitude towards women’s cricket #CWC25 🏏

Misogyny in the Name of Cricket: When Women’s Losses Become Men’s Punchlines

The Indian women’s team has lost two back-to-back matches in the World Cup, and suddenly, social media has turned into a playground for the worst kind of misogyny. It’s not about tactics, selections, ...

My favourite type of dismissal (the 'keeper gets stumped) combined with my second favourite type of dismissal (captain dismisses opposition captain) #CWC25

I had a crack at a Doesn't Normally Get Franchise Deals XI:

Qiana Joseph
Tazmin Brits
Muneeba Ali
Nigar Sultana Joty (wk)
Harshitha Samarawickrama
Kavisha Dilhari
Shorna Akter
Fatima Sana
Nonkululeko Mlaba
Diana Baig
Marufa Akter

Good to see Jhye Richardson having a bowl in the nets during Australia’s training session ahead of the India ODI.

He’s slowly making his way back from shoulder surgery, hopefully a return to the field isn’t far away

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 11h

Appreciate the context. I reckon Dilhari and Samarawickrama would be handy too.

Enthusiastic fan at Pakistan vs England wearing a t-shirt that says "Rain Stopped Play" with a rain cloud graphic

Muneeba Ali who dropped Capsey agrees!

When playing Pakistan, England 78-7 > Australia 76-7 #CWC25

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 1d

I think she got that deal off the back of her starring in an ODI series played there between NZ and Pakistan, but she probably didn't have that much time to adjust to conditions at a completely new team

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 1d

Do you foresee an issue with her being from Pakistan and two of the three WCPL teams being IPL-owned? Maybe if the 4th team isn't it might be easier

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 1d

Either this, or for Fairbreak to come back (or an equivalent tournament where players not from the Big 3 can play in those kinds of high-performance environments)

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 11d

I am once again appealing for any women's franchise league team to please take a punt on Fatima Sana #CWC25

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 1d

Really thought Japan had it in the bag with 3 overs to go and 32 to defend!

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 2d

And objectively a step up from 2022 no matter what happens from this point: their win vs Pakistan this year was bigger, and they have two close losses instead of one.

What a nerd, watching cricket and remembering players' names

I'm disappointed that the options don't go up to 4 - conceding centuries as a bowler

(Apologies if this was mentioned on the pod)

It's not a Beth Mooney rescue job unless she turns as red as a beetroot #CWC25

Wickets in hand notwithstanding*, Pakistan isn't that far behind the required rate... #CWC25

*Admittedly, quite a lot of wickets to notwithstand

That Sidra Nawaz stumping is truly ridiculous #CWC25

Good to see Travis Head supporting the women's team, not sure why he brought his baggy green though #CWC25

Two spectators at the AUS vs PAK game, one of whom looks a tiny bit like Travis Head wearing a green cap

Good thing for the Aussies that their game vs Sri Lanka got rained off, might've gotten demolished then too

I see England have avoided a shock defeat to Bangladesh in the World Cup thanks to a typically gritty and determined partnership between Heather Knight and the third umpire. #CWC25 🏏

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 8d

Would've liked to see Bangladesh win this one, but an amazing effort to get this close, they might be close to semifinal contention if they can keep up this form. Hopefully Marufa doesn't miss any games! #CWC25
