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.

Also great that the ICC recognises that women's cricket can be a growth engine for the game (now India has won the World Cup). Any chance of letting more than 16 teams have a chance of qualifying for it? How about some proper financial support for Thailand and the Afghan refugee teams? Anyone...?

Adit has slowly but surely built himself an excellent series of interviews. Check it out if you haven’t already (skip episode 11, though).
Today's episode is with Steven Stern, the man in charge of calculating DLS targets! Steven talks about learning the game after moving from the US, working with Duckworth and Lewis, what's next for DLS, and if Herschelle Gibbs really dropped the World Cup.

Timor Leste play their first international cricket match tomorrow, against Indonesia.

As one of my first political campaigns was against the sale of British military jets to Indonesia for use against he Timorese independence movement, it makes me a little emotional to see them play each other.

The worst thing about the World Cup ending is that there's no cricket every single day between 4 pm and midnight like there's been for the past 3 weeks 😭

That is the best possible catch anyone can take to win a World Cup #CWC25

My partner and I went for the outrageously simple Halloween costume of Nora and Hae-sung from the movie Past Lives, but we made sure to bring a roll of aluminium foil to the party so we could recreate this iconic scene

Hi @wernerboucher.bsky.social, I host a podcast where I talk to fellow cricket obsessives, would you like to be a guest sometime? Would be especially good to ask you about how SA women have rebuilt after losing key players and improved performances in tournaments. Let me know if you're keen, thanks!

In case anyone was wondering, there's no forecast of rain in Guwahati for the rest of today or the potential reserve day (England would advance if this semi-final is abandoned) #CWC25

Is this what the expression "getting their ducks in a row" means? #CWC25

Not sure I've seen this discussed, but are there reserve days for the #CWC25 semifinals and final? Probably relevant given it's raining lots in Navi Mumbai.

I also imagine that positions 1 and 2 on the table are important in that they're the ones who win if matches are washed out.

"...a spokesperson for the International Cricket Council said the Australian side had "breached protocols" by allowing players to leave unescorted."

To date, the only response the ICC I could find is a spokesperson blaming the players for going to a cafe at 11 am.

Worth noting as the ICC pat themselves on the back with a video of children playing cricket in Sierra Leone, that the ICC specifically excluded Sierra Leone and all other African Associate nations from even entering the qualification process for the Women's World Cup.

Hi Chris, big fan of indie rock and your book! My tiny podcast usually interviews cricket fans, but would you be interested to be a bonus guest to discuss your book and whether following the MLS parallels indie fandom? Let me know if you're keen or have questions, thanks!

@liebcricket.com The umpires at India vs England have just reviewed whether the batters made the T-sign before the timer for making a review ran out! This feels like it would happen more often in your proposed review economy.
