Watching Cricket at Loughborough today

Posted by Allan Campbell on 13/8/2024, 13:04:30

There are 8 Academy’s playing about 240 to 300 girls in total.

My Granddaughter in batting at the moment, she was the wicket keeper when the other Green team were in.

She in North Women Blue playing North Women Green. Don’t know why there are two North teams mystified.

Just caught out 38 runs off 39 balls.

Probably another match later today 20 overs.

Now befuddled G/D been swapped teams I assume to help out as her teammates not very good reading the scorecard.

I gather that the England selectors are there looking for future talent.

More befuddled with this cricket lark

Our Granddaughter is listed as playing for Northern Diamonds Academy, North Woman Blue, North Women Green.

I think the Diamonds were split into Blue and Green.

She appears to have done well joint top number of runs 285 her and another girl. Top number of 4’s scored. 5 &6th highest score and average. That’s out of 240 to 300 girls.

There are so many variables that it’s difficult for me to know what’s going on.

She is off to Beverly on Friday, North of Ripon on Saturday, Darlington then North Leeds losing track.

Matches piling in due to bad weather the other month.

We keep forgetting that she is one of the youngest at 16 1/2, the others are up to 19. Until we got a photo yesterday we had not realised that and she is the smallest at 5’ 6” there being one girl over 6’ all are more mature let’s say.

Allan
Could the matches be trials for higher levels? That would explain her moving teams. The “scouts” are looking at individuals & the team/ result doesn’t really matter.
My grand-daughter has recently been selected as goalie for the Birmingham City Academy after attending a session similar to how you describe your session. She was moved between 3 teams during the day, obviously so the officials could see how she performed.
Hope you G/D did well. 🫰
