Not seemingly covered by Crapinfo, but England A are currently touring Australia and won the opening T20 by 3 wickets. I believe Scrivens is captaining this part of the tour. For those wondering about Issy Wong, she played in this game, although looks like star of the show was the returning Gaur who took 2-10 from her 4 overs. A bit of a scramble over the line in the end from what looked like being an easy win at 80-1.

Charlotte Edwards named Head Coach of the women's team. Hopefully she starts to bring some new blood in.
It's not so much the new blood, it's making the most out of the current blood which the previous regime totally failed to do. There's a decent amount of talent, but thought processes have been horrific (Bouchier, Dunkley, Capsey obvious targets), fitness levels waning (Ecclestone, Capsey) and fielding standards unacceptable (all of them). Edwards is someone who made the absolute most out of her ability, hopefully she can instill that into her team because they are clearly nowhere near that at the mo.

Meanwhile, what might've been a tight game in the A Team Tour was destroyed by Georgia Voll who knocked off 137 of the 215 target whilst everyone else struggled with the bat. With her and Litchfield to take over the opening batting duties for Aus soon, it seems there's no let up on the talent coming through there.

And that should be something Edwards and the ECB needs to work on, get the most talented youngsters playing cricket, an even bigger issue now with the WSL growing so fast it seems.

The batting depth has been the issue over the last few years. No real pressure on any of the batters so any loss of form hasn't mattered - it's felt like a closed shop. Sounds like Edwards wants to change that mentality. The A team reflects that lack of batting depth - Villiers (a cricketer I like but hasn't had many chances) at five and Issy Wong at seven?
