It took me a moment to understand this image: the Rapids are metaphorically depicted as *water*. It’ll make their clash with Sussex Sharks very hard to promote. I wonder if they’re named that because the Worcester pitch is often underwater?

The England women’s T20 cricket team are in the World Cup Final, unbeaten, against Australia on Sunday. (You’d hardly know it from the news.) I’ve been so delighted by the strength, depth and adaptability of this team. So many heroes.
