I say nothing about the Men’s Ashes second Test at Lord’s ☹

This evening, BBC 2 Is showing four hours of women’s cricket. I mention this because, when I was at school, one of our games mistresses played cricket for England. There’s a site which lists everyone who has ever played for England and I checked it, to make sure I wasn’t misremembering. Yup, there she was. I liked her; she was nice to people who weren’t brilliant at games. My point is that in the sixties, women playing for their country needed a full-time job as well. They probably had to buy their own kit and pay their own expenses. Now, they’re stars. Women’s cricket has come a long way.
