If any @AWSCL or @wywgcl clubs are looking to arrange preseason games on Apr 5/6 or 12/13, in-house or against another team, and need an umpire, let me know!

@KBostock_ So pleased to see your figures Katie and congrats on the 5-fer. Chads have clearly improved immensley grom that very hot day at Menston two years ago! For the next game, forget your bat and pads and you'll get a 50!

@LornaUpton97 I did think about upping it to a L2 on the basis of serious dissent by word and action. Words being the jokes and action being your jaw moving!

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@rhirhibeee It takes three to tango for an lbw! Hope it's the first of many Chads wickets....

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

If any @AWSCL or @wywomengirls hardball teams have pre-season friendlies on Apr 6, 7 or 14 and need an umpire..... let me know. First come first served!

@darrengrimes Children cannot legally change their gender. Section 1 Gender Recognition Act says you must be over 18 to apply for a gender recognition certificate.

@LornaUpton97 @rhirhibeee Bit of a short boundary towards to western terrace Lorna🤔? You sure you've marked the right one?😂

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@rhirhibeee I've got your games on the 16th and 23rd so hoping to see something similar live!☝️

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@AlexHartley93 @EllieThrelkeld It's a great stumping but as it appears, the ball passed over the batter's head, making it a no ball and so can't be out stumped. Mind you, if the striker's end umpire hasn't called it, then fair play and a great piece of work reminiscent of Sarah Taylor.

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@KBostock_ Your bowling has definitely improved Katie compared to last year. Maybe a bit more energy through the gather and landing🤷‍♂️? I also noticed once you deliver the ball, the pace of your follow through turns into a little run. Keep going and the wickets will come☝️

@bumbeanbannana @stueymaco The GRA was passed in 2004, during a Labour government period of 1997-2010. Much as the conservatives have got wrong, you can't blame them for the GRA.

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@LornaUpton97 @cricketyorks It looks like you could confuse batters as with your left arm high in the 2nd one, looks like a left arm spinner's action, then out comes the right arm over!

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@howzat_57 @MenstonCricket @wywomengirls Great picture of Tash Sunderland..... one of the fastest bowlers in the west!

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@rhirhibeee Did you hit it, or was it a ball that pitched and passed over your head? The fielder looks like she's trying to stare you out! So looking forward to my first game with the Chads ladies this year.

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@ThePureDrop @hen10freeman @WitchyMcWitch Yes... if they are a registered healthcare professional. Might also be worth looking at s170 Data protection act..... unlawfully obtaining or disclosing personal data.

@LornaUpton97 You missed some in the middle😂🤪

[Martin Staples @MartinStaples78]

@LornaUpton97 Just been in the park and it's totally playable as calverley drains really well. Was looking forward to my first game this year. Craven didn't want to play incase some were rained off and other got unfair advantage - but that could happen any week! Take rough with smooth!
