Yes, he is. That was sorted over the summer. One win and a draw so far this season. Let's see how long this lasts....

Had no idea what the rankings were. Just earned my explorer one. Had a look at how many there are to get. Didn't realize how many there were or how you progress...

Carlisle drew. How they threw away a 3-1 lead is beyond me...

Carlisle won their opening match. this season. Hope they can do better this season.

Disappointing start for the England women against India yesterday. Some dodgy fielding, not too sure about the selection and the on field decisions. Could Ecclestone have got into her set of 4 earlier or brought back in earlier? Should they have had Charlie Dean in the XI? Those are the questions I am asking myself.. Like the men, they wore black armbands for the Air India incident.

South Africa have won their first international trophy by beating Australia. England have named their side for tomorrow's test, Bethell will have to wait for his chance. England vs India: Ollie Pope preferred to Jacob Bethell as Chris Woakes returns for first Test - BBC Sport

South Africa are currently in a strong position against Australia in the World Test Championship final. England women have announced the squad for the T20s against India. The ODI squad will be announced later. England's T20 squad to face India: Nat Sciver-Brunt (captain), Em Arlott, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Amy Jones, Paige Scholfield, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Issy Wong. Sophie Ecclestone has returned at the expense of Sarah Glenn. I am hoping Paige will get a chance to shine with the senior squad. She was in the squad last time, but didn't feature. I was impressed a couple of seasons ago in the Hundred.

Since my last post in this thread, I have achieved 10,000 steps a day in the past month of May. 377,521 steps in total and 137.1 miles.

Congratulations Rooney and many thanks Houdini for running the competition. Until next season, have a great summer.

England women have won their first series under the new coach and captain. One more game for a clean sweep. Emily Arlott has picked up 4 wickets in the two games so far (one on her debut). Sophia Dunkley has reached 1,000 T20 international runs and her highest T20 international score so far.

Hoping Sunderland win as one side of the family comes from the North East and are hoping for derby matches with Newcastle (they are all Newcastle fans). On another note, the play-off finals are kicking off at 1 minute past 3. It's part of the British Heart Foundation's Every Minute Matters campaign. Just discovered that.

Final Day Fixtures (All kick of times are 16:00 BST) Sunday 25th May AFC Bournemouth 2-1 Leicester City Fulham 1-1 Manchester City Ipswich Town 1-2 West Ham United Liverpool 2-1 Crystal Palace Manchester United 0-1 Aston Villa Newcastle United 1-1 Everton Nottingham Forest 1-2 Chelsea Southampton 0-2 Arsenal Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Brentford

I remembered seeing this topic. I am doing 10,000 steps (minimum) per day for this month. So far, I have managed this.

England: Sophie Ecclestone out of first Charlotte Edwards squad - BBC Sport The squads have been named for the first series under Charlotte Edwards. Ecclestone seems to be playing well domestically, in the early stages of a managed return? First T20 on the 21st May. Not surprised at the inclusion of Emma Lamb, she seems to be in great form so far this season. She may well move from being a part-time bowler to being a regular. Seems to have acquired a few wickets as well in both formats. Anyway, she seems to be set on giving the England management something to think about...
