W. H. Ferguson, who scored (and carried the bags) for the England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand teams between 1902 and 1957 — the inventor of the “wagon wheel” — has a derelict grave. Let’s help restore it with this crowdfunder.

Iceland’s cricketers – all immigrants – want to launch women’s cricket, junior cricket, and to play international games. The ICC won’t give them any funding at all (or support of any kind) so they need our help.
Can you help? We are going to do things differently and try to become the first ever crowdfunded Associate Member of the ICC. @ICC won't help us so we will use fan power. See more: All donations gratefully received. Please share this post if you can.

Here is my finished hand-drawn infographic scorecard of India’s victory in the 2024 Twenty20 World Cup final. What do you think of it? You can get a full size (A2) version from my website:

@SomersetGrockle Dickson, in the post-match interview, indicated they’d more or less decided from the outset that Leach wouldn’t bowl, except if there were two right-handers in.

What a good idea. And the neutral venue could be Bristol, which would work well for both teams and their supporters.
If the Royal London Cup Final is rained off today and tomorrow, surely the organisers should play it during the first six weeks of next season. Sharing a trophy doesn’t get anyone anywhere! When you look back at your career it’s about medals you’ve won not medals you’ve shared 🏏

@edwardbcooper69 @EdBevanCricket @RDBCroft10 @onedaycup @SophiaGardens It may be heresy to suggest this, but how about Bristol?

When I went to university, “27 years ago” was 1970. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” was about the golden-oldiest a song could get. Now, “27 years ago” was 1997. The year I started university. To the freshers of today, “Men In Black” and “Barbie Girl” are golden oldies.

Metro Bank One-Day Cup playing condition 16.10 — “In the final, if it is not possible for both teams to receive the minimum number of overs necessary to constitute a match (20 overs) then the trophy shall be shared.” Could this be the first county final with a shared title?

I do hope the Championship doesn’t hinge on this umpiring decision.

@antgib @SomersetCCC @bbcbristolsport If only Somerset had, say, an off-spinner who bowls really well at left-handers.

@ashutosh758 @icelandcricket We used it once, and the batter’s reaction on having “not out” overturned earned him a lengthy ban.

Wonderful to see Syd Lawrence with Gloucestershire’s trophy. It’ll be a pity if Somerset come second in everything — but this picture suggests the Blast was worth losing. #GoGlos

Losing semi-finalist team: 223 England caps, Hundred franchise, professional women’s team, Test match ground. Champion team: 3 England caps, and one rained-off late-autumn international game per year. Hats off to them. #GoGlos

Easy. It’s Víðistaðatún, owned by Hafnarfjörður town council in Iceland.
Musing—there are lots of beautiful UK cricket grounds, but which is the most attractive council pitch? (One for @WG_RumblePants, perhaps)

Chasing anything over 140 is a big challenge when the tail begins at six and you have debutants at three, five and seven.

Further entertainment from the Worcestershire PA: “Tea and cakes will be available in the Ladies’ Pavilion from half past two, but not a second earlier. Those who arrive early will be punished by being locked in a small room with Kevin Pietersen”. #WORvWAR
