Fitting tribute

Women cricketers are too often overlooked by the media, which is ridiculous given that the England ladies are the best in the world at this game. So it is only fair that after showing you a pic of the boys in their new kit, you should see what an adidas-clad woman looks like. Here is Isa Guha, whose sparky bowling did for the Aussies over the winter.

Guha is modelling the new one-day kit, which has been developed with form-fitting technology to ensure that it matches a woman's body shape and ensures freedom of movement. I don't know about you, but if I put on a shirt that fits my body shape too closely I normally have to worry about breathing let alone running, necessitating the undoing of a button or two, but no doubt this new curvy kit will help the England women. It will certainly bring them some new fans.

The other thing that would really boost the women's game at this stage would be T20 - they need to get a women's T20 world championship on quickly.

And how about scantily-clad Chippendales as cheerleaders? That should bring the crowds in.

I wish women's cricket could (and would) be taken on its own merits, rather than having the players show a bit of skin for some attention. Still, if they're cool with it, who am I to complain?
