In celebration of Chris Green claiming a hat trick and career best figures in T20 Cricket of 5-32 Matt Fiction has penned this stirring haiku poem.

Three poles in three balls.
Four wickets in an over.
A hat trick for Green
Women’s Test Cricket is back soon with England hosting India in Bristol starting next week. It will be a rare opportunity for the two teams to show their skills in the longest format of the game. No doubt this fixture will attract a lot of interest amongst cricket librarians around the world.
Daryl Tuffey represented New Zealand across all three formats claiming 77 Test wickets and 110 ODI wickets for his country. He played 91 First Class matches claiming 288 wickets with the remarkable best figures of 7-12.
In our chat we discuss his progression from First Class Cricket into the International arena, the three World Cup campaigns he was involved in, the leadership of Stephen Fleming as well as the first T20 International between NZ and Australia.
Take a moment on his birthday to have a listen to the Daryl Tuffey story on the Cricket Library Podcast.

Maitlan Brown is just about to turn 24 and is one of the most exciting young talents in the game. She has made an impact with the ball, demonstrated athleticism in the field and contributed valuable runs with the willow.
In this episode of the Cricket Library Podcast we will hear more about where Maitlan’s love of the game started, her time in the NSW junior pathway, moving to Canberra, playing for the Renegades, touring India, her call up to the Australian squad, injury rehab as well as her return to NSW this summer. We also learn about some of her off field creative pursuits as an award-winning industrial design student.
Needless to say we ask Maitlan who she would most like to have a net with. Her selections combine a mix of cricket, comedy and musical genius. In fact one of her selections provided entertainment at a Cricket Australia Awards night.
