Thank you, Prime Minister 2:10pm on 28 Oct 2009 One week to go till the first ODI in St Kitts. Oh, how I love talking to myself about it. Come on, Aunty! Do your best to stir the troops. This must be the first England double-World Champions side to leave Heathrow (?) in a blaza of no publicity.
Thank you, Prime Minister 10:12pm on 17 Oct 2009 Who says Taylor is "West Indies best," as suggested by the picture caption in your (BBC's) report from Paarl? I would think Dottin might want to lay claim to that "title."

For some time now, I've had a vague feeling that Windies women's cricket is on the way up. We'll see next month in St Kitts. If I'm right, it can only be good for the women's game, too long dominated by the 'big four:' England, Australia, NZ and India.

On a much lighter level, do you have to be called "Taylor" to succeed in women's cricket?
Thank you, Prime Minister 1:31pm on 06 Oct 2009 Fat lot of interest the public is shewing in the tour of St Kitts. I posted an article on 606 - ZERO comments. MM failed to mention it at the end of his live-text on the Final of the Champions Trophy, although he did publicise the men's upcoming tours. I would add that MM is a staunch supporter of our women's team and the oversight was probably due to the excitement of the moment.

It falls to the BBC to publicise this tour on the main cricket page.
Trophy ends in blazer of glory 1:19pm on 06 Oct 2009 I'm hopeless! I ended the semi-final feeling sorry for Pakistan & the final feeling sorry for NZ - especially minus Vettori.

As for the jackets, maybe the V&A will be interested in a few years. I'd keep them "sale-white."
Thank you, Prime Minister 2:44pm on 28 Sep 2009 Many thanks for the article on our team's schedule. Those two weeks in November will be interesting indeed without our two star Taylors. I'm glad to see Shrubsole back after her injury. Maybe Hazell & Shrubsole will come through as our pace attack of the future. Without S.J. Taylor, I'm guessing that Rainford-Brent will be tested as opening bat (with Atkins?) - and maybe we'll see Shrubsole, Hazell and Beaumont forming a new triangle of understanding. Good luck to that other triangle - Lane, Connors & Edwards. Where would we be without them?

I do so hope we're going to be kept up to date with matches in St Kitts.
Thank you, Prime Minister 2:08pm on 18 Sep 2009 What's happening in women's cricket this winter? I think there's a tour, isn't there? Notice on the list of women's fixtures plus a squad announcement when it becomes available would be appreciated.

And isn't it worth at least a short piece that both Charlotte Edwards and Claire Taylor are on the short list for ICC women's player of the year? My vote would go to Edwards. By her own high standards Taylor did not have a dazzling summer, although the run chase with Morgan v the Aussies at the Oval was perhaps the highlight of the women's international season.
Tuffers in step with TMS 8:58pm on 03 Sep 2009 @6 - I agree with EJ Morgan about Graham Gooch, as good a summariser as he was batsman. Among his many batting achievements, I remember Gooch for his 333 + 123 = 456. Why, the man's got the class of Euclid himself!Bring him on.
The men who witnessed sporting history 00:45am on 22 Aug 2009 Again I read an off-cricket blog and again I found it compelling reading.
England's bowlers face Oval challenge 7:19pm on 19 Aug 2009 Here's a cheery thought. We've already beaten the Aussies at the Oval this season. On June 19, Claire Taylor and Beth Morgan put on an unbeaten 122 runs to register one of the most measured, applaudable run chases of the season and dash Australia's hopes of proceeding to the World 20 Cup Final (women).

Our men can match that, can't they? Eyes down! We'll know the answer soon enough.
They think it's all Oval... 02:57am on 19 Aug 2009 Many thanks Darth_Blader. Your info makes me quite relieved to live in a mediaeval, walled city.
