Takeaways...
1. Some delusional views on England's depth of players
2. Some England players may play a few MBODC games in April
3. The NZ & India games will feature the World Cup squad
4. Delusion belief that the large sums paid to players in the 💯 is somehow good for the game.

As we speculated on last week's CRICKETher Weekly, Australia have finally been forced to leave out a clearly unfit Sophie Molineux and show their hand on who the real vice-captain is… and (surprise!) it's Tahlia McGrath not Ash Gardner.

Assuming Eccles (because… she actually is still the best when it really matters and she wants to be) and Dean (because… she's next captain) are now guaranteed picks, even if she gets ahead of Smith, she is only going to get in if they play 3 spinners.

A screenshot of a blog post from Being Outside Cricket, which explains how both women and non-White players are unable to meaningfully sway the decisions of the PCA (the union for professional cricketers in England and Wales) because they are massively outnumbered by the White male majority.

A screenshot of a blog post from Being Outside Cricket, which explains how both women and non-White players are unable to meaningfully sway the decisions of the PCA (the union for professional cricketers in England and Wales) because they are massively outnumbered by the White male majority.

The democratic nature of the PCA is the problem. Because there are a lot fewer professional women's cricketers than men's, any issues specific to women are by definition a minority concern within the PCA.

Here's a post I wrote in 2021 about this issue: beingoutsidecricket.com/2021/06/15/i...

Good to see that Shelley Nitschke agrees with me on playing a specialist captain, even if they don't make the XI for either their batting or their bowling.

(Sophie Molineux carded at 9 (DNB) and didn't bowl.)

I heard they were going to experiment with the pricing this year to see how much scope there was for increases. Guess this is that experiment.
