    **Official** County Cricket 2017

    Insane scoring at Headingley - a 49-ball ton for Willey, and Hastings has bowled three overs for 58 - will he get another one?

    *** Official*** ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017

    Does anyone bat left-handed in women's cricket? Don't think I've seen one in the whole tournament. Surprising when you think how prevalent lefties are in the men's game now.

    The Ramprakash Conundrum

    And perhaps he would have done, if the government hadn't effectively driven him out of the country by repossessing his family's farm. Hard to see why he should show any loyalty to the country of his birth after that.

    Sky Sports Mix, if you have it.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    Pakistan's lowest total vs West Indies: 77 (Lahore, 1986). In the Caribbean it's 106. Looks a long way off.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    Just 22 runs from the 14 overs after lunch, but Azhar Ali and Shehzad are starting to pick up the pace now. Shehzad took almost 100 balls to get out of the teens, and even then survived an lbw decision from Gabriel, when the bowler was shown to have overstepped; though, given that he'd...

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    Leinster Lightning beat North West Warriors by 105 runs at Dublin today - the first ever domestic List A game in Ireland? A little bit of history if so. I don't know if Simi Singh and Samarasooriya, who top scored for their respective sides, are eligible for the national team but they could be...

    Yeah that was a pretty good score for 50 overs, never mind 39. Career best for Jennings and only his second one-day ton.

    Lancs in big trouble now with McLaren holing out to Rafiq. Good day for England too, 10 tidy overs from Rashid and though Root and Bairstow didn't make big scores, they've had some time in the middle. The Ballance question won't go away this season it seems.

    Actually from the aerial view it looks as if they've closed some off - fair enough for a county game I guess, as it helps to clean up afterwards. Looks like a reasonable turnout in the stands that were available.

    Acres of empty stands though - sad to see on a Bank Holiday. They're supposed to be one of the better supported counties, too.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    312, but I don't think there's any doubt they'd have grabbed that with both hands at 107-6. Something to bowl with at least.

    Fair to say the first ten minutes have gone Pakistan's way.

    I'm all for Hameed playing some one-day cricket, it can only help him develop his game - but it seems odd to pick him and then not have him open. Wasn't injured was he?

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    Chase looks a cricketer of real character to me - they need to hang onto him, especially as they're effectively playing with three batsmen at the moment.

    **Official** County Cricket 2017

    Only just learned this from reading the new Wisden, but Chesney Hughes has been released by Derbyshire. Doubtless this was all covered here last year but I find it shocking - averaged 53 last year in the Championship for the weakest county, the one which failed to win a single game. Scored three...

    It appears that today's game between Notts and Yorkshire, both sides packed with internationals, is not going to be on Sky - very disappointing, to say the least.

    'A Social History of English Cricket' by Sir Derek Birley is very good on the early stuff as well, though it does continue up to the 1990s, when it was written.

    I think he was a victim of 'Rule number one' (Python reference) He probably has been unlucky but we have three keepers vying for selection as it is. I'm not sure Billings has actually taken the gloves for England yet but he should be allowed to at some point. I don't see Bairstow getting much...

    Hmmm, yes, it's starting to look as if the Saffers are going to see them home there! Goes to show, you should never count your chickens (and I was trying not to!) Yes tough chase for Leics, hard to see them getting close to that under the lights.
