Charlotte Edwards: the best captain in England?

“Strauss, of course, has just retained the Ashes by winning a series in Australia. Charlotte Edwards had already done that. Strauss is about to try and win the 50-over World Cup. Edwards has already done that too. Strauss does not get in to England’s Twenty20 team, but Edwards does. She has won the World Cup in that version as well. At the age of 31 she is one of the most successful sportspeople in the country. The shame of it is that you can’t call her a ‘sports star’. Edwards’ achievements dwarf the rewards and recognition she has earned.”

Women’s cricket underrated, Charlotte Edwards a cricketing legend.

sumande: This is the most amazing scorecard in the history of cricket. The winning team won with 296 balls remaining!!! Bermuda’s women carved an unwanted niche in the international record books with one of the most abject performances in the game’s history. In their opening match of the World Cup Qualifiers at Stellenbosch University, they were bowled out for 13 and then South Africa took only four balls to sweep to a ten-wicket win. Bermuda’s men haven’t made much of a positive impact in the game either - eleven months ago, they conceded 413 for 5 against India in the World Cup and lost by 257 runs, the biggest margin in one-day history. But their women have just lowered the bar by several notches. More Bermuda are awesome at cricket View high resolution
