The next decade....what's in store?

Women...not expected in certain cricket situations

Yesterday West Indies played India at Sabina Park (that's for Dr D and all the other clueless-on-cricket readers of the blog!). As is customary, there was a post match press conference. There were about 25 media persons including myself in the room, when one of the West Indian cricketers walked in and said "Gentlemen, good afternoon".

I heard my voice on my tape recorder last night saying in a high pitched voice "and lady!". You see, I was the only lady there yesterday. There are other lady writers and lady commentators involved in cricket....just not enough and so the players not accustomed to us.....yet.

Anyhow, every now and then I google my name to see what's out there (who's spreading what false information etc). I enter the following words for the search - Cricket Michelle McDonald. Hear what the facety outaorder Googleman ask me....

"Did you mean: cricket Michael McDonald?"

I'm serious. Here is the link
Hrmph!

(But these things don't bother me these days...I just find it amusing really. Don't sweat the small stuff)
