  • Week 117 – June 7th – Part of my cricket project

    Still doing the survey for the ICC.

    I sent a screen shot of one my cricket projects I started during the lockdown in 2020.

    Updating the spreadsheet from one the Netherlands v West Indies ODI.

    One of my cricket projects, I’ve been doing since lockdown in March 2020.
  • Week 116 – June 3rd – Lunch

    Maybe this is part of the reason, why the cost of a ticket is so high at Lord’s?

    Look at the lunch time player’s menu. (Lord’s is famous for their food)

    Part of the ICC survey I was doing for the week.

    Players lunch menu, i’m sure part of the reason a ticket is so expensive.
  • Week 116- June 3rd – England v New Zealand

    Today we should have been at the 2nd day of the test match, but the price of the ticket was crazy, plus adding the travel, food and drink on top, it becomes a very expensive day.

    Only in the week leading up to the match, was there comments made by people that Lord’s was charging too much and they wonder why not all the seats were sold, especially with all other events going on and the cost of living too.

  • Week 116 – June 1st – Taking part

    As mentioned in a recent post, I filled in a survey for ICC cricket.

    They had got back to me yesterday and asked from today, if I could record and update on what I do regarding cricket for the next 7 days.

    I was happy to do this.

  • Week 115 – May 26th – ICC survey

    In the weekly email I get from the ICC, it asked for a survey to be filled in regarding cricket and what I do regarding cricket.

    There could be more, but where have to wait and see.

  • Week 107 – April 3rd – Woman’s Cricket World Cup Final

    Australia 356-5 in 50 overs (Alyssa Healy 170, Rachael Haynes 68, Beth Mooney 62, Anya Shrubsole 10-0-46-3) beat England 285 in 43.4 overs (Natalie Sciver 148*, Megan Schutt 8-0-42-2, Alana King 10-0-64-3, Jess Jonassen 8.4-0-44-3) by 71 runs.

    Delayed by a year due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the Woman cricket world cup final was played today.

    Somehow England managed to make the final, after becoming the first team at any World Cup to lose their first three games.

    Though they came up against the mighty Australian team who had been unbeaten and have only lost two games since the last World Cup in 2017, which we had seen England win at Lords in one of the most enjoyable days of my life.

    Alyssa Healy (player of the match and tournament), made the highest score in any World Cup final (women’s or men’s) with hitting already the ground after a steady start and was given great support by Rachael Haynes and Beth Mooney.

    Anya Shrubsole the player of the match in 2017 final, was the only England bowler to really trouble the Australians. 

    In reply only Natalie Sciver made any impact with the bat in scoring a brilliant 148*, but no real support from anyone else as Australia rightly won the final by 71 runs.

  • Week 105 – March 18th – Stats Perform

    After having few email conversations with Rob Carter, I looked at this company again and there was a job for “In-Ground Cricket Analyst – London.

    I put my CV forward and also answered the cricket questions they asked, I believe I got them all correct accept for the 20/20 question.

    I realised afterwards I made a mistake as I didn’t send any of my cricket project’s I have been doing, silly me.

  • Week 92 – December 13th – Lords

    Today I put in for tickets at Lords for test cricket next year.

    Was meant to go this year, but Covid19 restricted the crowd size.

    Let’s see what happens next year.

  • Week 80 – September 26th – England v New Zealand at Canterbury – Part 4

    An enjoyable day as England thrashed New Zealand in nice late September weather, shame the season in general couldn’t be as good as it has been in September regarding the weather.

    England 347-5 in 50 overs (Lauren Winfield-Hill 43, Tammy Beaumont 102, Natalie Sciver 39, Amy Jones 60, Sophia Dunkley 33, Danni Wyatt 43, Hannah Rowe 10-1-65-2) beat New Zealand 144 in 35.2 overs (Sophie Ecclestone 8-1-32-2, Kate Cross 8-0-44-3, Heather Knight 5-0-24-3) by 203 runs.

    Great comment at the presentation by the New Zealand caption Sophie Devine – “It’s one of those games you just flush down the dunny. Full credit to England, they completely outperformed us.
