THE STATS ISSUE Before we get into the 2020 season statistics, some important news items: The Annual General Meeting of the Cheshire Women’s Cricket League will be held on Wednesday November 18 at 1930. Due the current health situation, this meeting will, for the first time, be conducted remotely via the Zoom platform. Please ensure your club is represented at the meeting, especially as there will be no need to travel to a meeting venue this year. The business of the meeting will include: • Reports from League Officers • Elections involving candidates wishing to stand for League Officer positions for the next 12 months. Please get in touch if you are interested in standing for: Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Press Officer, Web & Results Administrator, Fixtures Secretary, Senior Competitions Secretary, Rules & Disciplinary Secretary, Umpires & Scorers Representative, Welfare Officer • Assessment of applications from clubs wishing to join the League’s senior competitions for the first time in 2021. If you are aware of any interested clubs, please encourage them to get in contact to enquire as to the application process as soon as possible – ideally their applications would be received at least one week prior to the meeting. I am pleased to announce that League President Di Totty has been appointed as an independent non-executive director of the Cheshire Cricket Board for a period of two years, with a specific responsibility for the development of the women’s and girls’ game in Cheshire. CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE THE LAST RESULT - Summer Series Development Division – September 20: Wistaston Village 73-7 (20; Toyin Higgins 13, Zoe Davies 13, Natalie Stevens 2-3, Jill Tildsley 2-15) (25pts) Langley 56-9 (20; Abbey Lamidey 16, Anna Bourne 3-4, Phoebe Howle 2-9) • A series of early wickets for Anna Bourne checked Langley’s reply early on and ensured it would be Wistaston, rather than their opponents, who finished the season with two wins from four. THE FINAL LEAGUE TABLES Summer Series Western Division P w wcn l lcn BatP BowlP NRR Pts 1 Porthill Park 8 7 1 0 0 0 0 2.39 200 2 Nantwich 8 4 0 4 0 6 11 0.36 117 3 Upton 8 4 0 4 0 3 13 -0.48 116 4 Chester Boughton Hall 8 3 0 5 0 11 12 -0.37 98 5 Oxton 8 1 0 6 1 12 17 -1.97 44 Porthill were convincing winners with a 100 per cent record and an 83-point lead in the final standings. After winning their early matches by large margins, Porthill didn’t always have things their own way in the batting department in the later stages of the season, but no team was able to truly get to grips with their varied bowling attack. Nantwich and Upton staged an exciting battle for the runners up spot as these two clubs maintained the excellent progress they have made in a short space of time.

Although the league season was curtailed to just eight matches this year, and Jones herself played just five before departing to play in the Trophy, her runs aggregate of 343 is still amongst the top 20 totals in a CWCL season. (To make the lists below for best bowling average, economy rate and strike rate, there was a requirement to have bowled at least 20 overs in the Western and Eastern Divisions and eight overs in the Development Division) THE BEST BOWLERS – WESTERN DIVISION Total Wickets – Bowling Award Bethan Robinson (Nantwich) 14 Ellie-Mae Davies (Porthill Park) 13 Freya Davies (Oxton), Hannah McGowan (Upton), Philippa Dagger (Upton) 11 (With 10 wickets for Chester Boughton Hall 1st XI plus five more for the 2nd XI in the Development Division, Gemma Rose was the league’s leading wicket taker of 2020) Bethan Robinson was undoubtedly one of the major young breakthrough players of 2020, and she finished with 14 wickets even though she only took wickets in four different matches – in addition to the 4-1 and 4-10 performances mentioned above, she also contributed spells of 3-9 and 3-10. Average Ellie-Mae Davies 3.38 Bethan Robinson 3.86 Becky Cripwell 4.11 Hannah Bratt (Nantwich) 6.43 Phillippa Dagger 7.55 Ellie-Mae Davies finished with the best average across all of the league divisions, and also finished in second spot in the Western Division for total wickets, economy rate and strike rate.

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.

    Porthill Wrap up Western Division with Two Matches to Spare Despite Being

    Porthill wrap up Western Division with two matches to spare despite being given another scare by Upton … Didsbury edge the first of the two top of the table clashes in the Eastern Division, but Trinity remain in the hunt … September is ECB’s Women’s Cricket Big Month CHESHIRE WOMEN’S LEAGUE Summer Series Western Division – August 30: Porthill Park 60-9 (30; Becky Cripwell 29, Philippa Dagger 3-5, Madi Arthur 2-9, Hannah McGowan 2- 10, Sophie Morris 2-11) (25pts) Upton 51-9 (30; Charlie Scudder 12, Amy Scerri 3-12, Cripwell 2-2, Lucy Shenton 2-4, Grace Potts 2- 5) (5pts) • Porthill Park are the winners of the Western Division for 2020, sealing the honours with two matches to spare. The Potteries-based club have undoubtedly been the best team, but once again didn’t have everything their own way as they wrapped up the title. However, despite posting a target of just two runs per over, Porthill’s bowlers took early wickets and never relinquished their grip. Amongst some impressive bowling figures Philippa Dagger’s outstanding season for Upton continued; and Becky Cripwell conceded just two runs in her six overs, having also held the Porthill innings together earlier, and she is a strong contender for the league’s best all-rounder of the season. Chester Boughton Hall 79-7 (20; Ali Cutler 45, Molly Price 3-8, Alexa Harrison 3-14) (25pts) Oxton 32 (18.3; Freya Davies 12, Gemma Rose 3-4, Tilly Buss 2-0, Nandu Valliyil 2-7) (4pts) • Ali Cutler’s innings stood out on a day when no other batsman passed 12.

  • Glenn Takes Four but Last ODI Washed Out

    Glenn Takes Four but Last ODI Washed Out

    Sarah Glenn has impressed in Malaysia. Photo: Malaysian Cricket Association Dec 14, 2019 09:48 GMT Glenn Takes Four But Last ODI Washed Out SCORECARD Sarah Glenn took four wickets but England's hopes of a series whitewash in Malaysia were dashed by rain, with the third ODI abandoned after just 37 overs. Glenn's fine spell had swung the game back towards England after an impressive start by the Pakistani openers, and the hosts had fallen from 96/0 to 145/8 when the rain came. Along with centuries for Danni Wyatt, Tammy Beaumont and Nat Sciver, Glenn's form has probably been England's find of the tour. The young Worcestershire leg-spinner has taken eight wickets at just 11.62. Sussex's Freya Davies was presented with her ODI cap before the game, becoming the 130th person to represent England Women in ODI cricket. Captain Heather Knight - who made her 100th cap in Thursday's second ODI - was awarded Player of the Series. Attention now turns to the T20 series - which gets underway on Tuesday December 17. It represents England's final three games in the shortest form before selection for February's ICC Women's T20 World Cup in Australia. All three games will be live-streamed on the Pakistan Cricket Board's YouTube channel. QUOTES Sarah Glenn: “I was really happy to get four wickets today, but it’s a shame the rain came and the game had to be abandoned. “We came back really well with the ball after Pakistan had started on top.

    The Dazzler Extra – on This Week – May 31

    THE DAZZLER EXTRA – ON THIS WEEK – MAY 31 May 29 2007 Laura MacLeod announced her international retirement after playing 13 Tests, 73 ODIs and three IT20s over the previous eight years. June 3 2010 Hyde beat Bowdon in the T20 Eastern Division with a successful chase of 111-1 in only 13 overs. Jo Hurlston, Lucy Makinson and Rebecca Griffin were the batsmen reaching 25 very rapidly. Leesa Mellon also took 3-22 in this match. May 31 2011 Was this the warning shot? Possibly the biggest upset in the history of the League’s competitions was Hyde’s Knockout Cup elimination of Chester Boughton Hall in 2012, but in the previous year’s quarter-final, Chester survived a scare from the same opposition to win by just seven runs. June 2 2013 Six years on from the international retirement announcement, Laura made her debut for League newcomers Wistaston and took three wickets for seven runs in their victory over Oxton. June 1 2014 This was a day where there were three incredibly close finishes in the division one/two cross- divisional matches, with all three eventually going in favour of the second division club. First division pacesetters Oakmere lost their 100% record, with Astley Bridge taking the final wicket with the first ball of the 40th over to win by one run. Chester missed their opportunity to make up ground on Oakmere here, going down to Wistaston on the last ball after Laura MacLeod scored 75% of her side’s runs (91 in a score of 123-9) to lead the Crewe side to victory.

Madi Hudson was the hero, leading the way with 71 at almost a run a ball, being joined by Charlotte Neal for a century partnership. Leyland lost regular wickets in reply as they struggled with their imposing target. A trip to Yorkshire to play Sessay – the club that defeated Didsbury at the same stage in 2018 and 2019 – now awaits the Vipers.

This is the first time a League side has been beaten by a club from another league in this year's competition.

Cricketers invariably look for a fresh feature to introduce them to the analysis of the previous summer’s work; and, although the present volume contains no such heated controversy as “throwing in first-class cricket,” dealt with in the last annual, those who follow the great national pastime will find something of which the true cricketer never tires of hearing – the genius of W G Grace. In a year made famous by the champion’s completion of his hundred hundreds the editor of “Wisden” found his special subject almost imperative, and called in the aid, in the way of contributions, of Lord Harris, the president of the Marylebone Club, and Mr A G Steel. Both given their reminiscences of the greatest of players, and both will e read with interest. But one would have liked them longer. Mr Steel writes cricket almost as well as he played it, and more might well have been acceptable from the gentleman who helped to give the cricket volume of “Badminton” its great popularity. Mr Steel describes Dr Grace’s style of batting, and in closing his chapter pays the following tribute: - “There have been some who for a short period have given reason for the belief that his position as champion batsman was being dangerously assailed. I allude to such names as W L Murdoch, A Shrewsbury and A E Stoddart. That belief was, however, fleeting. W G Grace has proved his batting to be immensely superior to every other cricketer.” Lord Harris believes that W.G.’s later style of batting is quite different from what it was between 1870 and 1880, and explains in what way.
