Watch funny obstruction by Canadian batter

First, the batter tries to obstruct the fielder(s) and then dash back into her crease so she isn't run out - this USA vs Canada game certainly looks entertaining.

I know it's less than ideal and blatant cheating but it's still pretty funny https://t.co/9qkhmmkg1l

The long innings

England's Eileen Ash, the oldest living international cricketer, turned 110 over the weekend, and several current England players - Joe Root, Kate Cross, Heather Knight, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan, Katherine Brunt - sent her their best wishes. Need a large cake to fit all those candles!

Happy birthday Eileen Ash. Celebrating her 110th birthday today, Eileen is the oldest living international cricketer in the world.

Have the best day! pic.twitter.com/8N7SCwM18r

The catching contest

Try to catch a skier that gets rebound by a helmet - all with your left hand! We're not confident of even doing it two-handed while wearing keeping gloves. Would 100% collide with one another.
