A reminder that clamouring for a Japan cricket jersey was a 2020 thing too!
A big regret in life was sorting myself the blue one before the pink one. Gonna change that.
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.

Pumped to be in Zimbabwe for the #U19WorldCup!
Another spin of this before the tournament begins 👇

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?
Reminder that Thipatcha Putthawong is a star 🇹🇭🏏

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about Steve Tikolo? 🇰🇪

“And X, and X!!!! *obviously rehearsed line written down*!!!”
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.

The U19 ICC Cricket World Cup picture looks clearer after Scotland's qualification and Americas action underway.

This is a stellar idea. Nick will be up for this too hahah
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.
Does another thrilling League 2 finish loom?
The #CWCL2 state of play as we push past the midway hump 👇
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.
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!
Japan inching towards ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup qualification!
I know I’m an absolute consumerist when I say this but I will watch more Premier League games purely because of the throwback ball Nike have put out
Pumped to be Pakistan bound for the #ChampionsTrophy!
Here on Bluesky for now because Twitter doesn’t work there lol
It was a successful week for women’s Associate cricket, but as one observer saw, members aren’t exactly acting like they’ve been there before 👀
The EC Weekly Round-up 🗞️

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.
Representing "The 685" as the smallest team but also the loudest, channelling the power of goddess who cut down a tree to build four weapons to slay some bloke and save her village 🇼🇸
There's a lot to love about the Samoa story 🤩

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
Not gonna lie, over the moon with how this turned out. A huge thanks to Tuaoloa Helen Semau, Stella Siale Vaea-Tangitau and the Samoa International Cricket Association on this one!
