The slightly more toy version (who wouldn’t sit still for the photo)

A black standard poodle being conspicuously indifferent to a very good cricket book that you should definitely buy

The time between those wickets is also old enough to vote (and older than when she took the first wicket).

Yesterday, Ellyse Perry became the oldest player to take a wicket in a women's T20I for Australia (35y 140d).

Remarkably, Perry now holds the record for being both Australia's oldest and youngest wicket-taker in the format, having taken 4-20 aged 17y 90d on debut against England in 2008.

Matt Page and his 10mm of MCG grass is the true hero here.

The worst part about commentating cricket via CB radio is not just all the Smokeys on your tail but also the inherent confusion in ending every sentence with 'over' or 'over and out'. "Wait, is he out or is that the end of the over?" "That's a big 10-4." "They're 10/4??"

Why didn’t Liam Livingstone get the message that “Who cares?” wins?

Hey. Remember that men's #T20WorldCup? Not really? Can't say I blame you. Turns out that India won that overnight. Good for them. A tiny consolation for the women's Test match defeat. #AUSvIND 🏏

It is in my nature.

She was obviously concerned about this too. #AUSvIND 🏏

I don’t want to be mean, but it would be darkly amusing for Healy to open and be out first ball. #AUSvIND 🏏

Dropped catch from Sutherland. For how long can Australia afford to carry her? #AUSvIND 🏏

Quick! You can just about read this before the third (and final?) day starts. #AUSvIND 🏏

They need to make a musical about this debut. I’d call it ‘Lucy’. #AUSvIND 🏏

Hmmmm #AUSvIND 🏏

Do you want to see another two day Test?
