Some interesting points raised in this. 👇 Personally, I wonder where Hampshire, for instance, will play their home matches bearing in mind the heavy demand on the Rose Bowl and the Vipers playing home matches ata number of venues in recent years.

The biggest issue for me with Kapp being bowled out here, is due to the game situation the batters are under no pressure to score runs against her - they know after this they have more than 50 of their balls left, therefore are less likely to make mistakes.

As ever in English cricket, Hampshire suffers from Schroedinger's Executives.
Both well run by the finest business minds in the country and in dire financial straits requiring more money from the ECB, debt relief from its creditors and new billionaire investors to stay solvent.

Good that my assessment from 4 days ago is being repeated by others.
FWIW although the current situation is dire, the initial vigour of the student protests is slowing and 2 months is enough time for “normality” to resume.

We’d already made the decision not to travel to Bangladesh for the T20 WC but we don’t see how the ICC can guarantee the safety of anyone under these circumstances.

Just to be clear I have no personal issue with Craig McMillan and wish him the best in his coaching endeavours.
However I have loads of experience playing, coaching, selecting, administering and recording women’s cricket.
