From provinces to the World Cup: How women's cricket has brought Indonesia to the world stage - Emerging Cricket
Women's Cricket in Indonesia has rapidly outgrown its Men's counterpart, now the Persatuan Cricket Indonesia targets the Women's World Cup
emergingcricket.com
Given my bio, here is the piece I wrote for Emerging Cricket last year on Indonesian women's cricket, and the infrastructure that launched the senior team to a T20I ranking of 21 and the U19s to Indonesia's first ever global ICC event.

Today's ep talks about the 2025-26 #Ashes! (kind of)
@liebcricket.com discusses how the current Aus men's team has a claim to being great without being the greatest, and why some of the Aus cricketing public is resistant to that idea.

My discovery of 2025 was PTFO and its relentless pursuit to scratch whatever itch Pablo has, no matter how important or stupid. I love that it starts 2026 with an episode reminding us that the goal and the purpose of whatever we do are (usually) different things, and not to lose sight of the latter.
I needed to start the new year with this conversation with the remarkable philosopher C. Thi Nguyen (@add-hawk.bsky.social) about scoring systems; outsourcing values; and the game that you — and me — shouldn't be playing: youtu.be/7AdbePyGS2M?...

As the Marnus Labuschagne Diaries draw to a close, their relevance to what is actually happening in the #Ashes gets further and further away. Still, there's lots of in-jokes about Australian cricketers here for people to look at and be confused by.

I wanted to know how South Africa's women's team got better and made ICC finals after losing 4 legends, so I asked @cschiwanza.bsky.social, who talked about the improved professionalism of domestic cricket and crucial changes in management.
