What a shame. This Thursday morning once again saw England's women battle
for a final spot in the T20 Cricket World Cup, yet the papers and broadcast
media will continue to occupy themselves with the return of a petulant child
(albeit a talented one) to the male ranks.
After the successes of sportswomen during the Olympics and Paralympics, it
is disappointing to once again see the back pages of the mainstream return to
such egotistical and testosterone driven drivel.
Women’s cricket has seen unrivalled success in the past decade and yet,
despite the growing numbers taking part, is still largely ignored. Instead of
constant reporting on whether KP texts his mates about his mates or not, let’s
get back to the proper and engaging style of sports coverage that lifted a
whole nation during the summer.
