Given my bio, here is the piece I wrote for Emerging Cricket last year on Indonesian women's cricket, and the infrastructure that launched the senior team to a T20I ranking of 21 and the U19s to Indonesia's first ever global ICC event.

It's not a Beth Mooney rescue job unless she turns as red as a beetroot #CWC25

Wickets in hand notwithstanding*, Pakistan isn't that far behind the required rate... #CWC25

*Admittedly, quite a lot of wickets to notwithstand

That Sidra Nawaz stumping is truly ridiculous #CWC25

Good to see Travis Head supporting the women's team, not sure why he brought his baggy green though #CWC25

Two spectators at the AUS vs PAK game, one of whom looks a tiny bit like Travis Head wearing a green cap

Good thing for the Aussies that their game vs Sri Lanka got rained off, might've gotten demolished then too

I see England have avoided a shock defeat to Bangladesh in the World Cup thanks to a typically gritty and determined partnership between Heather Knight and the third umpire. #CWC25 🏏

Would've liked to see Bangladesh win this one, but an amazing effort to get this close, they might be close to semifinal contention if they can keep up this form. Hopefully Marufa doesn't miss any games! #CWC25

I am once again appealing for any women's franchise league team to please take a punt on Fatima Sana #CWC25

Love watching Bangladesh play well, but it does sadden me to see how far off the pace Pakistan are. I guess we don't need to worry about knockout matches being played in Sri Lanka. #CWC25

You love to see a middle-aged Aussie bloke watching a women's World Cup match in India wearing Port Adelaide's indigenous guernsey #CWC25

I think other countries are in fact catching up to Australia in women's cricket, but it's in the sense that more teams are able to beat Aus when they play their very best. Otherwise, like the runfest in the 3rd ODI vs India showed, no other team can play as good for as long as Australia. #CWC25

Wait. Stoinis?! I thought he retired. Or was that ODIs? International cricketers need a set of traffic lights that they wear around their neck indicating which forms of the game they still play. #NZvAUS 🏏

Reminder for some commentators. This is a *World* Cup.

You should be celebrating Sri Lanka's achievements at the moment, not adopting this ridiculous, despondent and funereal tone.

Happy #CWC25! Like previous ICC tournaments, there's radio commentary courtesy of the BBC TMS team which you can hear on the scorecards on the ICC website .

Yes it was Aus vs WI!

(I should specify to ask if you've been to a WNCL game at the Junction Oval, I'm aware we met at an international game at the Junno!)

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 13d

Have you been to a game at the Junction? I've been to a men's One Day Cup game there and was charged $5, I've been told that the Junction is the only state league venue that charges admission (the MCG also charges whenever there's a Shield game there)

Adit RS @aditrs.bsky.social · 13d

Do you have a piece or video that's a primer for some of the metrics you've used/developed like True Strike Rate and Match Factor? I get the logic behind them, but wouldn't mind seeing a writeup of how they're calculated. Thanks!
