I was at day one of the test against New Zealand at Edgbaston in June. 

 

For some reason (distancing?) the Sky pundits walked on their own past where we were sitting, at intervals of a few minutes.

 

Wardy, then Nasser then Holding.

 

The others hardly got any reaction, but Holding got applause as he walked round.

Not having that Cox/Bell-Drunmond incident being six. Cox was well in control of the ball before they made contact?

That’s what I thought 

 

but the wicket they just took where cox pats back into play on the run for the catch is unbelievable

Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has approved an amendment to the game's laws to use the gender-neutral term 'batter' instead of 'batsman'.

The MCC, which is recognised as the sole authority on cricket's laws since its foundation in 1787, say the changes will take immediate effect.

Jamie Cox, the MCC's assistant secretary for cricket and operations, said: "MCC believes in cricket being a game for all and this move recognises the changing landscape of the game in modern times."

Women's cricket has enjoyed unprecedented growth at all levels around the world in recent years.

England's victory over India in the 2017 World Cup final took place in front of a capacity crowd at Lord's, which is the traditional home of the MCC.

And in March 2020, just before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the T20 World Cup final between Australia and India in Melbourne attracted 86,174 fans.

The record for a domestic women's match was broken this summer, when 17,116 watched Oval Invincibles defeat Southern Brave in the final of The Hundred.

In its statement, the MCC added: "A number of governing bodies and media organisations are already using the term 'batter' in their playing conditions and reporting.

"We expect and encourage others to adopt the updated terminology following today's announcement of the change to the laws."

I've had some of the European Cricket Championship on the background today whilst working from home (currently on BT). Interesting in its own way lol T10 format, literally a slog every ball.

 

Portugal managed to beat Netherlands earlier and they've just smashed 160 off 10 overs. One of them hit 72 off 18. 

 

Looks a nice little ground to play at too.

Moeen Ali has retired from Test cricket, probably a good decision given he's been poorly managed and a bit part player for a few years now.

he stepped away for a long time, they probably wanted him in but he wasn't available, came back for this winter tour, got covid, played 1 test then came home to prepare for the T20
