Somerset are not having a great off season
Loosing a coach, Captain and Overseas star, is far from ideal.
To lose one may be regarded as unlucky
To lose two may be regarded as unfortunate
To lose three looks like carelessness

Hampshire Signing Amanda Jade Wellington for next season!!
Taking Wello from Somerset, where she’s essentially been for the last 2 years is a big steal from Hampshire.
Somerset are loosing players quite regularly atm, which isn’t looking good for them

Heat have once again failed to grasp a winning position and actually win
They had that game sewn up goon into the 19th and just lost it again.

A classy 64 (40) @160 (8x4, 3x6) for Tammy Beaumont to back up her 51 (33) last game.
Almost as if she’s showing she is a T20 opener and shouldn’t be being ignored.

Grace Harris is just another level.
Splits her hand open, to the point in which she say they can see her tendon. Then just says tape it up, we can sort it out later after the game.
All of this while she is on the player mic!
It’s near on impossible not to love Grace Harris

And a back in form Nat Sciver-Brunt with 48 ball 81
Caines pick well with them at 2&3, they could very easily win this year*

Happy fixtures day everyone
Some good and some not great things out of the womens fixtures
I like the T20 county cup is actually being played across the year, true “FA Cup” style on 1 weekend a month.
Plus the final is on a Saturday in August at the true Home of Cricket- Old Trafford!!

Well I tell I am stunned and shocked at these groups.
India and Pakistan in the same groups.
It’s amazing this draw machine keeps pulling them out in the same group.
25x in a row now, what are the odds on that

Listening back to Grace Harris on the player mic today, she wasn’t holding back.
I wonder if we might be finding another Harris leaving Brisbane Heat next season?

Nice and easy win for Melbourne Renegades!
With 9 overs to spare. Solidifies 2nd place with a healthy NRR boost too.
Really not a good day for Sydney Thunder, top order failing once again and when they fail to fire the team just can not recover it.
Laura Harris isn’t helping either
