Watching South Africa v Ireland - producers clearly didn't realise that the "random member of the crowd" they were interviewing is an international captain with nearly 100 caps!

April Fools came a bit too late in 2025 courtesy of Sky Sports…

We believe that The Blaze game allegedly taking place at New Road is in fact at Trent Bridge instead (which makes a lot more sense 🤣)

Anyway, for more factual information see our most recent pod ep

Linsey Smith out in the middle for England at No.10, which makes her the first left-handed batter to face a ball at a World Cup for England Women since Lydia Greenway in 2013.

By ending 5*, she becomes England's fifth-highest left-handed run-scorer at Women's World Cups, ever.

What a massive own goal for the ICC to refuse to make post-match World Cup press conferences available to join via Zoom. They cannot realistically expect overseas freelancers to travel between 5 grounds & 2 countries?

A cynic might say they don't actually WANT independent press coverage 👀
