A good day for Zak Crawley, as he managed to remain unbeaten in Kent's second innings. We'll ignore the fact that he scored 1 from 2 balls against a part time bowler, and just give him some credit for once.
What I also find nuts is we can’t pick Englishmen playing in France but can pick South African playing in England. Bonkers…

The defence of Benhard Janse van Rensburg call up is making Steve Bortheick look even more robotic than usual. And it’s already unraveling https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-u...nse-van-rensburg-kids-would-question-england/ https://www.thetimes.com/sport/rugb...ck-janse-van-rensburg-england-squad-j5l7wsnh9 Sam Underhill is expected to have surgery over the summer and miss the tour, and Borthwick is considering resting the captain Maro Itoje and scrum half Ben Spencer for all or part of the July Test window. ‘The Harelequins prop Fin Baxter will miss the summer Tests, as he requires further surgery on his foot. He missed the Six Nations with the same injury.’

Women’s cricket team are embarrassing with the bat. Worrying that Heather Knight looks a bit past it now. She pretty much killed the innings with her slow paced scoring. I wouldn’t trust them to beat anybody with that batting lineup.
The team is a bit of a mess. One of the commentators said through no matter what happens at the World Cup Charlotte Edwards will get a long stint as coach?
Charlotte Edwards' track record as a domestic (in multiple countries) coach is probably better than anyone else in women's cricket. Unfortunately the batting is just not up to scratch to be challenging for a World Cup at this stage. Should probably bring Perrin into the team, that 100 in the Hundred last year is as good a knock in T20s as any of this team has produced in years.
Ben Stokes set to move down to No7 and Jamie Smith up to No6 in England's batting order. Brendon McCullum says no final decision taken but England "leaning towards" the switch, with the skipper slipping down the order after a difficult period with the bathttps://t.co/2diDydwUYN— Will Macpherson (@willis_macp) May 29, 2026
