  • 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.
