WINNER - WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE YEAR ๐
Shabnim Ismailโs all-format excellence saw her reap 13 Women's T20 wickets at 23.15 and 13 ODI wickets at 13.30, scalps that managed to pull games over the line for womenโs side.

One of four cricketers to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same men's ODI, and what a time Bas de Leede chose to do it #SCOvNED#CWC23

๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ง๐
Was Jonny Bairstowโs dismissal at Lords a breach of the Spirit of Cricket? This is a question I have been inundated with, so I thought it best to share my thoughts publicly by asking everyone a question or eight to considerโฆ
1. Have you seen any umpire tell a fielding side that the keeper standing back is not allowed to attempt a stumping?
2. Was there a complaint from anyone when Bairstow tried to stump Marnus exactly the same way in the first innings?
3. What has Jonny Bairstow said about his dismissal? He has been very quiet. Why?
4. My experience is when people donโt like a dismissal under the Laws of Cricket, they cite the Spirit of Cricket to support their view.
5. Which part of the codified Preamble (the Spirit of Cricket) was breached by the fielding side?
6. What did the fielding side do in effecting a legitimate dismissal that unfairly impacted the ability of the batter in their attempt not to be dismissed? (Did they run into him or distract him or prevent him making good his ground?)
7. Should a batter be immune from dismissal as per the Laws by simply being negligent (and leaving his ground too early)?
8. Did England retire Ben Duckett when they disagreed with the Starc catch decision as per the Laws and umpiresโ decision?
The hypocrisy and lack of consistency from some people and groups is quite interesting and concerning for the future of our game.
Maybe I am the odd one out here?
The good news is that we are actively engaged with Test cricket, the best form of the game.

Thanks for the heads up @YallopDiana ๐
Well, well, what's all this then?
Some interesting footage has surfaced of Jonny Bairstow waiting for a batter to lift his back foot before initiating a stumping in a County Championship game!

๐ The left-handed opener follows in the footsteps of Sanath Jayasuriya, who was the only Sri Lankan player to achieve this feat in the men's ODI rankings. ๐ READ: https://t.co/1Etg8tMFsv #LionessRoar
Starting a crowd fund so we can buy out Keven Pietersenโs remaining contract with Sky. Then we can at least watch the last 3 tests without his mindless ramblings. Whoโs in? #Ashes2023
