Another Americanism in one of today's reports - "two wins clear".
Part of a match report that includes the phrase "two wins clear".

Some very odd phrasing and some even odder grammar.
Part of the match report. The phrases “the world’s best bat” and “her knock help Stars” are highlighted.

From the BBC piece on The Hundred auction.

Worth noting that Gads was very-much saying the quiet part out loud here, 'cos in theory the players didn't have any say with the draft either, but in practice… well… let's just say that for a senior player the outcome of the draft was rarely a surprise!
Georgia Adams cast doubt upon an auction format in August, stating that "players want to have some say in where they go".

This is a really good point on what England need to do bringing through the next generation. #CWC25 🏏
There is an irony here. If Beaumont and Wyatt were starting out now they would never become the stars they have become. In their early England days they were, well, crap. But, in that era, the media were miles away and had no idea where various club grounds were located. There was no media clamour or BBC HYS burying your career. They had time, had opportunities to fail, but learnt, and boy did they learn. Now, women’s cricket has what it has craved; coverage but there’s no free lunch and that comes with pressure and the demand for instant success. An object lesson in patience is Wolvaardt. Not hers but South Africa’s. Her early career wasn’t brilliant (and very slow scoring rate) but they stuck with her, nurtured her and look at the diamond they have now. Don’t envy Charlotte Edwards’ job one bit.
