A reminder that clamouring for a Japan cricket jersey was a 2020 thing too!

One more plug of this with Japan playing their final #U19WorldCup match.

Won't lie, it's been bittersweet being in Bulawayo and not in Windhoek on their ground for the tournament, but so glad the boys have shown their quality to the world.

A privilege to tell Japan’s story, having been in Sano for their World Cup qualification and taking in everything about the game and its culture in the land of the rising sun.

I could be wrong, but this is the only international flight into Saint Helena that’s permanently on the calendar (once a week) and in niche areas I’m in the same terminal to see it.

Also a seasonal one that goes from Cape Town via Walvis Bay but may be wrong?

At the risk of “old man yells at cloud” areas here but we need to crack down on people using apostrophes in plurals. It’s actually woeful.

Hakeem Jeffries speaks for 8 1/2 and is hailed a hero, but when I want to talk about Associate cricket for 8 1/2 hours I'm labelled a lunatic.

Scotland post the highest total in #CWCL2 history!

380/9 also is Scotland’s highest men’s ODI total, beating the 371 they made *that day* at the Grange against England.

Three quality innings in that effort.
May 16, 2025 at 12:58 PM
First ball of the South Kanto innings at the JPL is BBL and Australian pro James Bazley bowling to former elite professional baseballer-turned international cricket Shogo Kimura.

Who would have thought we’d see that matchup!

A proud moment for Japan as they qualify for the 2026 U19 men’s Cricket World Cup!

Pretty powerful this: local junior and U19 international Ryuki Ozeki interviewed by local news in Sano explaining the game to new fans!

Peak cricket nuffy behaviour here but I sit here watching a free to air overseas Test series in a place that isn't England and think to myself, "10-year-old me would have been looking at the clock all day to race home and watch this."

This is so so good for everyone @7cricket.bsky.social

There is a yellow thing in the sky in Johor!

Good chance of two results here. Outfield a little soggy but everything else basically good to go!

USA v Ireland just under 90 mins from (scheduled) start.

There's a lot to love about the Samoa story 🤩

The smallest team at the tournament in terms of population and in cricketing stature, Samoa are in no mood to also be the quietest at the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup in Malaysia.

Toss delayed in Johor just with a soggy outfield in patches. The pitch looks mint though, they’ve done an immense job on that with the rough weather over the last couple of days. #U19WorldCup
