England win Cricket World Cup

[NoLoveofMine]

Excellent win for England today and it was good to see that the final sold out at Lord's as well. I confess I'm no cricket expert but it's good that the tournament and especially final has been well attended and will hopefully have inspired many girls.

Whoop! I used to watch a lot as a kid, and played a bit at university. It is great to see women's cricket in this country doing so well.

And double whoop that it sold out Lords - that is a real achievement (I've been feeling rather glum at the fact that the stadiums in the women's Euros are half-empty).

It's very encouraging especially as it's quite a sizeable ground! A couple of my friends went although one of them is now quite disappointed as she is an avid supporter of India in sporting competitions

Women's cricket does seem to be becoming more popular and I've been hearing some coverage of it for a little while now, although nowhere near as much as they warrant.

I couldn't talk about it at the weekend as I was hanging out with a disappointed Aussie....
