Tuned in to watch upcoming players in Australia A v India A & the Australian captain & vice captain are batting? Pathways hey? Feeling for whoever missed out so these two could belt kids around the park

Australian and England U19 Cricket teams bundled out of the @ICC World Cup at Semi Final stage. Two very talented teams, unfortunately not suited to playing conditions, a reflection perhaps of the experts not reading where the series would be played and selecting accordingly?

Feel sorry for @ECB_cricket Women but this is a reflection of women’s cricket at present in general at all levels. The basics are just not there. Too much focus on cash and grab high volume short format leagues even in club land.

[Mackay Hurricanes @mkyhurricanes]

Watched a bit of the @ICC U19 Womens World Cup. Appreciate these girls are doing their best for their countries and some have minimal programs but seriously there are better standards in Australian junior club sides. Is this really growing the game or is there a better option?

Queenslands U19 women are sweeping the National Cricket Championships, currently undefeated, and one of their own is the leading wicket taker while 2 bats sit in the top 10 run scorers and another bowler also in the top 10 wicket takers.

A privilege to chat with such a talented, humble, friendly young man.

@sportznut67 Correct. Its the ‘10,000 hour principle’. Lots of 15yo have now completed the hours this day and age, plus in Bray’s favour she is quite athletic to start with. The question is this their peak or will they improve. From experience a lot peak and that’s it. Bray looks special but.

Still waiting to understand this in #WBBL10
- the reduction in matches
- playing no games in regional centres
- playing games mid week and of an afternoon in empty major stadiums / neutral venues
There must be some logic, surely.

More forfeits in the lower grades of Qld Premier Cricket Women’s Competition this weekend. A combination of scheduling clashes with school state championships and a reduction in player numbers. Areas of concern for administrators surely, scheduling also needs some review.

@brentcostelloe No ill feeling towards Audrey here but lets look at the big picture. Tasmania Premier Cricket reduced the number of women’s teams due to a decline in standards. This isn’t the results they were after I am expecting. Very concerning for the sport.

@WBBL One of the most ridiculous things we have seen in Women’s cricket in the past 10 years, at a ground with 2000 spectators, possibly acceptable, at a near empty stadium, absolutely ridiculous.
