In which, Sue, Jules and Brian are joined by guests Lin Martin, Rod Cole and Mike Turner to talk about the return in the UK of women's cricket to Professional County Clubs rather than regional franchises.

The discussion pondered the issue of 'to travel or not to travel', celebrated scorers getting medals at the recent Women's County Cup Final and discovered the 'romance of cricket'.

As usual the conversation diverged into batters being Timed Out, Double Retirements, both batters with runners, super overs, 10 Retired Outs on one scorecard and stress for scorers of a close finish and posed the question 'Are women faster than men?'.

In which, Sue, Jules and Brian are joined by guest Richard Isaacs to talk about providing statistics for cricket commentators and in particular the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA in June 2024.

Along the way the quartet discuss: disability cricket at Lord's; the Vatican v the Bishop's Conference; providing broadcast statistics; maintaining personal well being while working from home; scorers in the corner; working as a team; scoring as the best job in the world; statistical story telling; cricket stats databases; the hunt for historical records; cracking the USA; frisbee throwing above cricket; the oldest cricket fixture of all time; international T20 stats; scorer recognition.

Yes we really did cram all that and more into 40 minutes and asked the 4 key questions:

• What do you call a group of 5 balls?
• Has that happened before?
• Who are the scorers?
• Does the pope play cricket?
