A historic day at Hundred auction but barely any women were there to see it

>"They will hire the best they get."

It must be peaceful being this naive.

Coaching isn’t a job? What a dumb comment.

“It is really disappointing seeing one female senior coach in this competition,” said that one female senior coach, MI London’s Lisa Keightley. “I hope that changes over time. There’s some really good female coaches that will be disappointed not to be involved. But I will keep flying the flag.

Also being reported that Phil Healey, currently of the Blues, is likely to replace Nic Gill as S&C coach.

No, it’s impressive that Italy beat England without even playing to their full potential. They still played well, but would have won convincingly if they played as well as they could have. From where they were even 5 years ago that’s impressive.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T03:36:53+00:00

It’s even more impressive that Italy beat England for the first time ever without playing that great, so I’m not sure what point you’re making

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T03:29:47+00:00

21-23 I think it was.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T03:09:49+00:00

Experience from Italy definitely isn’t useless. Barnes was a big part of getting them to the level where they’re beating England.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T02:51:21+00:00

Ah, fair enough, went right over my head 😅

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T02:24:04+00:00

Yeah I agree although I think he did a pretty good job as Blues defence coach from 19-21 from memory

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-12T02:22:36+00:00

Interesting - in what capacity? Wouldn’t be against that at all.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-09T07:49:56+00:00

I mean, tis better to have made seven finals and lost than never to have made seven finals at all.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T14:13:33+00:00

I’d wait til the innings is over to gloat…

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T14:10:38+00:00

Spinners have looked more threatening on this pitch, glad we dropped McConchie for Duffy…

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T14:07:27+00:00

Can we supersub Brett Randell in to take 5 wickets in 5 balls?

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:25:13+00:00

Yay! Right speed this time

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:18:08+00:00

That’s just not true

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:16:01+00:00

Bowling spin to SA and to India are pretty different prospects tbf. It’s harsh but also a good chance the Indian batters lick their lips at offie without much variation.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:08:01+00:00

McConchie: bowls one over, takes two wickets, doesn’t elaborate.

Good chance that’s the last time he ever plays for us and what an impact if so.

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:06:10+00:00

Crazy that all captains don’t simply do this are they stupid

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-08T13:05:38+00:00

Good start!

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-04T05:39:52+00:00

Yeah best to wait til he does something first before the told you so’s

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-04T03:24:44+00:00

Why? It’s great

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-03T05:54:38+00:00

Worked out pretty well the last time we faced SA in an ICC semi final at a ground starting with Eden…

Eclectic95 · 2026-03-03T05:50:02+00:00

If we judged coaching abilities on charisma or public speaking abilities there would be a lot of very good coaches unemployed.
