@crickether The only reason I can’t agree with you about Taunton is that it’s the only 1st Class ground to ban flags!

On the CRICKETher Weekly: * Making the most of the Women's Blast * Reflections on England v West Indies * World Cup venues announced… but won't someone think of the freelancers? * After visiting every ground in England, which are our favourites? youtu.be/b9RmS3xwMAo

END OF SEASON AWARD: FAWNL Division One Midlands Golden Glove @LeafieldAthLFC's @ColetteBellii has won the Division One Midlands Golden Glove award with 9 clean sheets from 21 games!

@Spenglar @refsupportuk Ref admits his mistake & changes his decision on the pitch. And yet here we are 48 hours later still waiting for Liam Roberts or Alex Neil to apologise… “I don't think there's any intent”!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@refsupportuk This is why people dislike refs. No accountability in the community. Never make a mistake never hold their hands up. Yet professional players have openly said that refs who have said they've got one wrong have been more respected

A good insight into the state the game is in, is that people are complaining more about a ref not immediately sending a play off more than complaining about a player actually kicking someone in the head. Madness. 🤷‍♂️

@WFootballChat @LeafieldAthLFC @FAWNL @NTFCWomen @Lightningfootbl @theposhwomen @BarnsleyWFC @SCTFCWomen @LincolnUtdWFC Assuming you only count WNL games then I only count 7 clean sheets for @NTFCWomen ?

@LeafieldAthLFC @FAWNL @NTFCWomen @Lightningfootbl @theposhwomen @BarnsleyWFC @SCTFCWomen @LincolnUtdWFC Yes that is true however in the event of a tie the player with the fewest appearances is the winner, sadly I ran out of characters to highlight that!

AWARD RACES: @FAWNL Division One Midlands Jade Bell holds a commanding lead in the Golden Boot race and it will be difficult to catch her from here. She is also tied in the Player of the Season race and Northampton Town are close to a sweep with McLean leading the Golden Glove.

Happy Birthday, Belly! 🎉 Taking it back to your maiden international 5fer in 2024! 🖐 #EnglandCricket | @_laurenbell2

@westburyutd @Bax19518Charlie “We never point the finger at individuals”… oh, except the ref of course. We always point the finger at him because we are never big enough to blame ourselves! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Bax19518Charlie Disagree. Charlie has been brilliant recently, scored two away at Willand and played a huge part in us winning the game last week. We never point the finger at individuals, Charlie Walton is a brilliant player. 👊🏼

It’s just a shame that a derby is ruined by a poor refereeing decision, we’ll let you all make your own mind up. 👍🏼 🗣️“Honestly there was no contact and your keeper has dropped it in his own net”🗣️ 🗣️"You can send me the veo, however I don't want to sound arrogant but it's just going to prove that I am right" 🗣️ @swsportsnews

What a performance from Lauren Bell 😍 8 wickets in the match, and match-winning spell in the final session 💪

@Airwolf54321 @ESPNcricinfo Each team only plays 8 other teams (same as currently) icc-cricket.com/tournaments/ic…

@ESPNcricinfo How will the round robins work with 11 teams?

The ICC Women’s Championship will expand to 11 teams for the 2025-29 cycle, with Zimbabwe entering the competition for the first time 🇿🇼 🔗 es.pn/3YSUG6p

What a run @LeafieldAthLFC are having! 😮 They finished October unbeaten in all competitions and without conceding a single goal, and started November with a bang after defeating Derby County, who sit a tier higher in the pyramid in the #AdobeWomensFACup 💥

@NoBallsTCP @Sue_redfern @a_y_harris Not sure if these were the stats you were looking for?

It’s the one we have all been waiting for!! THE UMPIRES V THE PLAYERS GOLF DAY ⛳️ Thank you so much @Sue_redfern & @a_y_harris for being such great sports! See you next year for the rematch 🫡😉

@DCross_psycho9 W G Grace’s bat in the Lords museum has nails in the “sweet spot”. At the time these were called screws. So in vintage bats “hitting the screws” meant hitting the sweet spot

The commentator just said ‘the batter’s just hit that right out of the screws’ ! I’m pretty sure that there are no screws in a cricket bat! Anyone know what that statement means ?

How is that not out? #teapot

Our family’s 1st ever visit to Lords. So glad we’ve now had quite a few enjoyable days there since…

@jeffyoud23 @andrewp538 @NonLeagueCrowd @JoeShep4 @CiaranMorri @HungerfordTown @DanRobbo1986 @bradhooperr6 @nigelshepherd19 @oldcasual1871 @studavis84 Then surely you should know that a still photo provides no useful evidence of anything. Do you have a video to show the full sequence of events? And did the referee make a “cut the grass” signal?

@andrewp538 @NonLeagueCrowd @JoeShep4 @CiaranMorri @HungerfordTown @DanRobbo1986 @bradhooperr6 @nigelshepherd19 @oldcasual1871 @studavis84 I have refereed at that level when I was younger and hope came up better answers

the referee did not see it ? the linesman said could not flag it, because ref told him not to bring it to his attention useless the pair of them @JoeShep4 @CiaranMorri @HungerfordTown @DanRobbo1986 @bradhooperr6 @NonLeagueCrowd @nigelshepherd19 @oldcasual1871 @studavis84

This team 😍 Unbeaten in every game, that is quite special. #EnglandCricket

@nicb878 I am lucky to have a sufficiently good education to be able to understand the pros & cons of the scientific method and make risk-assessed life choices for me & my kids. It’s so sad to see children die because of religious or pseudoscientific fanaticism

@andydinger You are lucky to not be affected x

‘It is my sincere hope that this will make the world be open to looking at the much broader consequences of the vaccination program and what can be done to heal the ever-increasing damage it has inflicted upon society’ Me too 😔 midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-do-vacci…

@rosatalksball @crickether Sometimes the heavens can be quite nice!

@crickether Wowzas! Nice change not to be in the heaven's!!!

Other grounds have their own charms, but this is by far the best view of the match on the circuit, at the Oval.
