The cricket match I really want to watch...

...no Ashes, no World Cups, no ritual humiliation of ancient enemies

I'd so be there for that. *nods firmly*

It'd be fab, wouldn't it? And England Women would really benefit from the profile boost - they do the best they can, but their wicketkeeper (quite probably the best in the world in women's cricket and possibly the single best wicketkeeper/batsman in England, regardless of gender - considering that the men have Matt Prior, that's quite a statement to make) had to drop out of the Australian tour because she couldn't afford it.

I shall now go and check the scores on ECB, because the women have started their first - and only - Test against the only other women's Test side in the world and there's sod all coverage.

Also, may I point you below to firynze? She's a magazine editor and has just started a small fiction press. Good egg (I may just have described you as same to her, but when we're all talking cricket, it seems natural...)

I would watch the HELL out of that, particularly if it were T20.

[clanwilliam]

So would I. Both are superb teams and it would be really interesting to watch as well as being really good to watch the selection process.

[clanwilliam]

BTW, may I point you at the lovely suricattus? Good egg, publishing professional and a rather excellent author.

[firynze]

Oooh, thank you for the introduction!

[dougs]

I'd be very pleased to see that happen.

[clanwilliam]

It would be lovely, wouldn't it?

Sounds like a great idea, and would probably surprise a few people, too.
