Never run on a misfield

I live a Virat Kohli appreciation life.

“The previous women’s Ashes Test (i.e. one Test match ago), in Perth in January 2014, produced a closer match than any of the last nine men’s Ashes Tests. It twisted and turned through three and a bit days of ratcheting bowler-dominated tension. If it had been a men’s match, played out on television instead of an internet stream, it would have been revered as a classic.”

This is a must read for the entire fam. 

“Women’s Test cricket will need commitment from its authorities, good pitches that do not Nagpurise batting, patience from its followers and its critics, and an acknowledgement that positive cricket does not have to equate to recklessly flinging the bat at everything.”

Remember, if you’re in the UK, all matches are on Sky and BBC radio, and the more viewers they get the more likely it is that this will continue.
