Regular reminder to fans, media, broadcasters & historians - you can't blindly rely on ESPNcricinfo's records for women's international or domestic cricket to be complete or accurate.

There are numerous gaps in their database. Also potentially, a huge gap in the market.

Excellent thread

Some news from me on new ICC organised regular international events for associate members in Women's T20Is. www.cricketeurope.com/DATABASE/ART...

Leah Paul, who took her wicket, has also been dismissed 'hit wicket' in an ODI

Eimear Richardson becomes the first woman to both take a wicket & be dismissed 'hit wicket' in T20 cricket. Remarkably, there's nearly 17 years between the two occasions: the wicket was taken on Aug 1 2008 & she was dismissed today

No choke, no joke. Congratulations to South Africa, world champions of men's Test cricket. #WTCFinal #AusvSA

Munsey's innings of 191 is the best by an associate player in ODIs (previous best 177 by Paul Stirling v Canada in 2010) and also the best against an associate team, beating a record that had stood since the 1996 World Cup - Gary Kirsten's 188 against the UAE. And it wasn't enough.

12-0 for England v West Indies across the men's & women's white ball series.

As expected with the enormous inequalities in the game.

How long this is sustainable, and whether the Big 3 boards who run the game have any interest in meaningful reform is the question (spoiler - they don't).

By my research, it is the 15th instance of a non-striker being dismissed & the 1st time any batter has been dismissed for obstruction from a wide, but happy to be corrected on either.
