I find the comments about the European Cup very interesting. Do you know that the games played in that tournament by the England U19 side are considered "full" internationals?? Therefore Ireland can apparently quite rightly claim a win over "England". Australia has always been happy to include a one day series in Ireland when touring England (1987, 1998, 2001) and have always treated these matches as they would when playing any other country. On a more pleasing note it was good to see Scotland putting a team in.
I also think England are making a mistake by not sending their senior side - I would think that these tournaments are an ideal opportunity for a team to work together outside the training environment.

Who is the fastest woman bowler ever? And have they ever been tested and recorded by the current speed testing methods? I want to know what kind of speed women bowlers have reached for a comparison project for sports science at school.

Hi there, is the New Zealand womens cricket team going to England next year? I have heard rumours that they are coming to tour Holland at the same time.. can anyone tell me if this is correct and if so, what dates will they be in Holland. Thankyou for any help.

I live in the North London area and was wondering if anyone knows of any shops which sell second hand cricket gear, particularly sizes for 13-16 year old girls. Also could Cricinfo ever publish results from major school competitions? If we made the results available? Thanks for your time, Emily.

Does Ireland winning the European Cup this year mean that the rest of Europe might be blessed with the presence of England's Under-21 team at the next competition?
Also, if England send their Under-19 team to the European Cup, what age-group will we see at the Under-21 European Cup next year? An Under-13 team perhaps?
Its fortunate for England women's team that New Zealand and Australia don't have the same attitude to playing teams of lesser ability, I notice that their full-strength teams don't refuse to play England. Maybe New Zealand should send their Under-21 team to tour England next year instead of their full team. That would be a more competitive game, and exactly what England do to the other European teams.

I am a proud mother of one of the Irish Womens Cricket Team who recently won the European Cup. I am writing in response to Mr Don Miles reply to a letter regarding the medals awarded to the Irish team after winning. Lets get the facts straight Mr Miles so all Cricinfo readers can make their own judgement. The exact engraving on the medals reads as follows (I have it in my hand):
ECC Womens
European Championships
9th-13th Aug 2001
Winner
England
That is the wording which you couldn't quite recall, and please don't insult people's intelligence by saying the word England was referring to the venue. A mistake was made, either by the ECB for ordering the engraving assuming England was going to win, or by the engravers for putting the words in an incorrect order.

I am attending the 2nd day of the final (5th) test in the Ashes series between England and Australia next week on a corporate event and I was wondering what is the appropriate clothes to wear ? Is there any dress code similar to horse racing or tennis ?

In answer to Michelle Murray, the inscriptions on the medals and the paperweights were to indicate that the venue was "England" not the winners. I can't recall the exact wording on them but it was something like "European Cup, England 2001".
My congratulations to the Irish for a fine win and especially to Saibh Young for only the 5th hatrick in women's international ODIs.
By a huge coincidence, one of the umpires, Alan Fox was also standing in the match when Julie Harris of New Zealand gained a hat trick.

For all those wanting details of cricket clubs in their area, your county cricket club and/or local authority leisure/recreation department will probably have information on women's teams. Failing that, contact Lisa Drummond at the ECB on 0207 432 1273 or email her at lisa.drummond@ecb.co.uk

How come there is no update for the women's european cup, judging by the website the england u19's were expected to win, having said that the ecb obviously thought that too as the medals presented along with the silver plate had winners england engraved on them. This is an absolute disgrace and I presume that there will be some sort of official apology as Ireland won the tournament. It would however be nice to see a congratulations from yourselves to the irish cricket team as it was their first european cup win. The warm up australian matches also helped in their preparation for this tournament.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Regards
Michelle

If you are interested in playing cricket and live in the Oldham, Tameside or surrounding areas, you might like to know that Saddleworth Cricket Club have set up a ladies' team. This season we are playing regular friendly matches, and will train throughout the winter, but next season we will be in a league. I'm not sure which league, but I believe that Furness and a Merseyside team are in it.
I am 16 and have played cricket for 4 years, but until recently, have only played for 'mixed' or short-term girls teams for tournaments.
Anyone is welcome to play, I am not aware of any age limits, and we have players of mixed experience. Our main problem is being unable to get a regular team.
Training is on Thursday nights at 18:30 at Saddleworth Cricket Club (contact Steve Hesford on 01457 839522)and we all enjoy it!!
