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.

    To sign on to this letter as an individual with ties to UW: https://bit.ly/DecrimUWind To sign on to this statement on behalf of an organization (RSO, academic unit, etc) , please go to: https://bit.ly/DecrimUWorg Decriminalize UW #GeorgeFloyd #CharleenaLyles #JTWilliams #TommyLe #ShaunFuhr #MannyEllis As members of the University of Washington (Seattle) community, we call on President Ana Mari Cauce and Provost Mark Richards to take immediate action to ensure the health and safety of people on campus, particularly Black and other persons of color, by protecting them from police violence by 1) the Seattle Police Department and 2) the UW Police Department. The national Movement For Black Lives has given the UW community an invitation to uphold our values of justice, equity, and anti-racism, and immediately divest from the Seattle Police Department (SPD) to protect our Black community members. In 2011, The US Department of Justice investigated SPD and found a pattern of excessive and unconstitutional force, which forced the City into a consent decree. The City is seeking to be released from the agreement despite repeated lack of accountability for police killings of Black residents -- most recently, Charleena Lyles and Shaun Fuhr.1 We bear witness to the ongoing harms that police violence enacts against Black lives. In the interests of public health and safety, we call on the University of Washington to divest from and cease any contracts with the Seattle Police Department. Specifically, we call on UW to break all ties (both informal and formal in the form of contracts, agreements, and MOUs) with Seattle Police Department by taking the following steps: 1) Immediately stop handing over people detained by UW Police Department to SPD custody.2 1 This statement was correct when the petition launched on June 2, 2020.

  • 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.
