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

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

All set up and ready to go!
Time to power through to Lunch, with England batting first.
TV on mute and Test Match Special tuned up nice & loud.
A nice 120-1 by lunch would be lovely!

Tayla Vlaeminck to miss her 4th WBBL season in a row.
Comes a point where DoCs might start turning around and saying they aren’t going to pick you for a squad

That’s Two finals that Lancashire have been in this summer and both of them they have won.
It’s been great following this team round the country, from Southport to Southampton via a trophy at Taunton.
Now the lucky hat goes back up until next year.

Even with either side winning in the Essex Hampshire game the table remains exactly the same positions as if we hadn’t played today.

That is one hell of a defeat right there.
5 ducks for Germany
20 of the Germany runs came in extras and was the highest score.
Only 1 Germany player got into double figures

No real surprises for the World Cup squad going to India later this year.
Shame that Kate Cross and Danni Gibson misses out.

Whether you like the format or not you can not deny it’s brilliant to see a ground like Old Trafford full of families and with an electric atmosphere
This is what we want to see in the game.

While I’m sure you’ve already got it covered but would be very interested to hear your take on the fact that there will be two men’s test matches on in England at the same time as the Women’s T20 World Cup next year!!!

If my maths are correct Emma Lamb is the only domestic player with 1000+ runs this season and we are not even half way through July yet.
Amazing season from Emma.

Things you love to see!!
Ellie Threlkeld keeping for England!!
Things you don’t like to see
ECB not getting the name of their team correct
It’s the select XI not Development XI

Arguably England have put out stronger squads for the India warm up games than they have a full A series against NZ A
Very little senior experience or guidance in the A sides
Can see why the counties aren’t happy about the A games being on during the Return of the Blast, that’s a lot of names out

Some very interesting names being called up for the Development and Select XI squads.
Ellie Threlkeld finally getting her reward for being the 2nd Best keeper in the country!
Josie Groves captaining the Development XI! Certainly one to watch.

This England team really does do odd things
You pick players based on their domestic form, pick the leading domestic batter who is an opener and don’t give her a single game in her natural position!!
I’m all for trying things out but give players a decent chance at least
