2017: Anya Shrubsole takes match-winning 6-46 in the women's World Cup Final

Anya Shrubsole was clearly a bowler to watch from her earliest performances in the England team. Making her debut in both T20 and One-Day Internationals in 2008, she won the award for Most Promising Young Women’s Cricketer at the end of the season. Just over three years late...

2010: Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad put on 332 for England against Pakistan

There can’t have been too many occasions in Test history when a side has batted first, slumped to 102 for 7 and still ended up winning by an innings. Unusually, Lord’s hosted the last match of a four Test series between England and Pakistan in 2010 and it was a match that we...

2005: Australia's Glenn McGrath takes his 500th Test wicket

1993: England beat New Zealand in the Women's World Cup Final

The fifth Women’s World Cup was the second to be held in England. It very nearly didn’t happen at all. Had it not been for a last minute grant of £90,000 from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, the tournament would probably have been cancelled. With women’s cricket still...

The first full post-war summer of cricket in 1946 was spoiled by wet weather. There followed one of the most bitterly cold winters in living memory and great misery as the realities of post-war austerity and continued rationing hit home. Meanwhile in Australia, Wally Hammond...

1964: Fred Trueman takes his fifth five-wicket haul at Lord's

1964: Fred Trueman takes his fifth five-wicket haul at Lord's

The perfect fast-bowler’s combination of aggression and skill characterised Fred Trueman. Genuinely fast in his youth, as his career progressed, he learned to rely on movement off the pitch and in the air, becoming the first bowler to take 300 Test wickets in 1964. ‘Fiery Fr...

2019: England beat New Zealand to win the Men's World Cup

2019: England beat New Zealand to win the Men's World Cup

England really should have had a head start when it came to World Cup cricket. The first ever limited overs tournament was the Gillette Cup, played in England in 1963, and it was the end of the decade before the rest of the world began to follow its example. Only 18 One-Day ...
