Week 123 – July 23rd – Northeast
Sam Northeast hit 410* for Glamorgan, third highest score in the County Championship and highest score this century anywhere. Glamorgan actually managed to win the match today.
On this date 5 years ago I watched England women win the World Cup at Lords. One of the best days ever. The atmosphere was unbelievable. ?

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.

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.
