It’s England v Australia as usual, isn’t it?
Or have I missed something?

Deep Cower doesn’t give a shit about rhyme
But he’ll make an exception this time.
Would be nice to have a bit of women’s cricket coverage around here now and again.
Or, as Charles Colvile insists on calling them, “the girls”.
charles colville
made some cricket fans slightly ill
with his persistent use of a rather outdated and notionally dismissive term
to refer to that proportion of the population which is biologically incapable of producing sperm
(oops. that beer may have gone to my head)
(actually it’s not necessarily such a terrible thing… in principle. don’t people often refer to men’s teams as “the boys” or “the lads”? it just sounds worse when women are up for discussion)
… and yeah, asking india to chase when kohli was on the teasmsheet was just kamikaze wasn’t it. didn’t they do their homework ffs?
oops… bridge too far for “les filles” alors
quick perusal of the final scorecard suggests they may not yet have enough firepower for this format..? no sixes in the whole innings (indeed one comment on the bbc suggestsed they hadn’t managed to hit one throughout the entire tournament)
on the plus side, everyone’s favourite wholesome sportsgirl-next-door ellyse perry had another good game (including a six. if she can do it..?)
Ellyse is such old news, cent. And a bit of a prima now too. So out of fashion.
Although she didn’t play in the final, Holly Ferling is the new Ellyse.
Daisy says she’s both prettier and comes across as a nicer personality too.
Listen to and learn from Daisy – anything else leads to pain:

Sleazed in a haiku there, wolf, don’t imagine these things go unnoticed.
Well done…
…except…
…a syllabub short on the middle line, to my eye, unless the word league is meant to be read leeg-way.
Uh…. yes… that’s exactly how it was meant to be read.
fingers type in haste
brain idling away not used
makes profound regret
Nice little sideshow
Now let’s get back in our whites
And bat for the draw
