Womens' Cricket Records - First-Class and Other
The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians has compiled a list of womens' first-class matches, plus a womens' cricket records database. The term "first-class" isn't one that is normally associated with womens' cricket. *Post April 2005, the definition for a womens' f-c match rests... -

Random Cricket Videos
I came across this on youtube, nothing beats a good collapse, particularly when it is Australia inflicting it. Anyway, as a result, I thought I would start a thread for cricket videos that people encounter and want to post. -

Launceston Newspaper Gets Caught Publishing Letter About Non-Existent Transgender Incident
Having grown up in Launny, I've got extremely personal reasons for thinking The Examiner is a low rent rag. It would appear that things haven't improved, given this stuff up. Who the editor is is illuminating though. "Mr Westfield was appointed editor of the Examiner — Tasmania's second-largest...- sherb

Tassie Takes WNCL Title In Remarkable Finish
Tassie has won its second WNCL title in amazing circumstances. The Tigers batted first and were 3-244 and in a strong position, only to lose 7-20 to end up all out 264. In a rain affected reply, the Scorpions entered the final over needing 4 to win (under the D/L method) with 5 wickets in hand... -

Alan "Froggy" Thomson Passes Away
Former Australian fast bowler Alan Thomson has passed away. He had a unique "windmill", wrong foot, bowling action. He played 4 tests in 70-71 against England, but couldn't replicate his first-class success unfortunately. He holds a couple of records - he took the first ever wicket in ODI's... -
Big Day For Tassie Womens' Cricket
This belongs on the domestic board but I'll post it here until Gough moves it. ;) A big day for Tassie today with the women taking out the WNCL 50 over title with an emphatic win at Bellerive Oval. SA 8-242 were defeated by Tassie 1-245, with both Manix-Geeves & Villani both scoring unbeaten... -

Vale Keith Bradshaw
At the sadly young age of 58. He only averaged 25 in f-c cricket, but it needs to be remembered that he retired from the game when he was only 24. But he is fondly remembered as an administrator in his later years, both with the MCC & the SACA. RIP... -
The Greig/Kallicharran Incident
I came across this recently, regarding a very famous (infamous) incident in 1974 involving Tony Greig and Alvin Kallicharran. I knew of it well, but had never seen footage of it - it's in here. I'll let people make their own judgments. Greig was a great cricketer but he was a bit of a Richard... -
