In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

    Talk Innovation Nepal NCO May 2015 Social Policy and Economic Analysis Section UNICEF Nepal Preface 'Talk Innovation' is a series of inspirational talk events by distinguished influencers in their respective fields, to share knowledge on innovation and its significant role in development. The heart behind this initiative was found on the goal to inspire and motivate the country and its youths that solutions to their community's problems are found within themselves and not from the outside. UNICEF Nepal Country Office partnered and joined forces with multiple actors - government, private sector, academia, media house, and students- to realize knowledge sharing that can eventually lead to new knowledge generation for Nepal. The power of innovation has vast potentials to unlock new social and economic opportunities and lead to sustainable development. UNICEF Nepal is committed to supporting and working towards meeting the challenges of today and shaping a better future for Nepal. We hope the individual talks on innovation left positive impacts and brought new wave of ideas on the minds of the thinkers, planners, and doers of Nepal. Tomoo Hozumi Representative UNICEF Nepal Country Office Acknowledgements This report documents the Talk Innovation program, a collection of talks on social innovation by distinguished influencers in their respective fields.

  • Leach Takes Three Wickets but Australia XI Build Strong Lead Against England Lions
    Jack Leach celebrates with Sam Hain and James Bracey Jul 16, 2019 19:36 BST Leach takes three wickets but Australia XI build strong lead against England Lions SCORECARD: https://www.ecb.co.uk/matches/10411 England Lions trail the Australia XI by 353 runs going into the final day at Canterbury after a day of mixed fortunes. The first hour of day three was almost a carbon copy of the same period on day two. This time, though, it was England who lost quick wickets to bring their innings to a close, 130 behind the tourists. Lewis Gregory and Jack Leach went for ducks, while Sam Curran reached 50 and then got out stumped to spinner Jon Holland. And Jamie Porter was the last to fall, lbw to Chris Tremain. Porter delivered with the ball early on though, having Joe Burns caught in the slips by Sam Hain. Marcus Harris and Kurtis Patterson added 73 before Harris gave Somerset spinner Leach his first wicket of the match, chipping the ball up to Dom Sibley. Leach then dismissed Patterson in his next over thanks to a smart catch from Ollie Robinson at slip. Robinson also picked up his first wicket of the match, and first for the Lions, trapping Mitchell Marsh in front for 26. Test captain Tim Paine batted patiently for 38, only to then get a leading edge to Leach, which took an eternity to come down into the bowler’s hands, bringing reward for bowling unchanged for the entire evening session. Matthew Wade, who scored a century in the first innings, retired hurt over the tea interval having taken a blow on the elbow from Lewis Gregory.
