CricBlog has gained access to an interview with cricket legend Ellyse Perry after her Hundred match for Birmingham Phoenix against London Spirit at Lord's. Perry scored 65 off 48 balls after fellow Australian and player of the match Meg Lanning struck 53 off 41 balls. It wasn't enough for the Phoenix as they fell short by 20 runs. Here is the audio of Perry's interview.

In Episode 113 of your weekly sports podcast, we bring you updates and new across 10 different sports, and 3 World Cups. We start with England's Red Roses winning silver in the Netball World Cup in South Africa-their best ever showing in a World Cup. We then move on to New Zealand and Australia and the Women's Football World Cup, with the quarter-final line up being confirmed. England's Lionesses will play Colombia for a place in the semi-finals after a hard fought win on penalties over Nigeria. In Cricket, Manchester Originals' Fi Morris took a record –in both the men's and women's Hundred-snaring 5 wickets for only 7 runs, as opponents Birmingham Phoenix were skittled for just 87. Meanwhile in Scotland, Britain's cyclists and para-cyclists sit top of the medal table with a combined haul of 32 golds, 16 silvers and 18 bronzes. With teams finalising their line ups for the Rugby World Cup next month, we had a host of warm up games. England were dire losing to Wales, Eddie Jones still believes Australia can win after their 4th consecutive defeat since he took over, and Zander Fagerson became the first player to be sent off “from the bunker” in Scotland's win over France. And finally, we talk about “Shi**y Sunderland” after 57 triathletes were struck with illness after high E.coli and sewage levels were reported in the water after last weekend's World Triathlon Series event off the coast at Roker!

It's the UK's first-ever LGBTQ+ cricket tournament, and it's happening at Sutton Coldfield Cricket Club. It's an 11 o'clock start and will feature teams from Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Middlesex and Northamptonshire – and since it's Warwickshire who have been instrumental in making this happen, it was only right for us to take a trip to Edgbaston to find out more. We pulled together a great panel – and by ‘we', I mean Brigg Ford from Warwickshire who has been a huge help to the podcast over the years for a chat about inclusivity, allyship, coming out, cricket, Harry Potter and so much more. You're going to from Warwickshire bowler Liam Norwell; Central Sparks, Birmingham Phoenix and Worcester Rapids player Emily Arlott; and Lachlan Smith from Birmingham Unicorns, who has been instrumental in pulling it altogether.

Ed and Charlie preview the Birmingham Phoenix Women's side ahead of the 2022 Hundred Season.

The Hundred tournament starts on 3 August 2022, and Birmingham Phoenix will be hoping to repeat their group topping efforts of 2021. It might be a tough ask though as the squad seems to have caught the injury bug: Chris Woakes is working back to fitness, Adam Milne (the Kiwi quick bowler) has had Achilles heel problems, Olly Stone is confirmed out... There is still quality though, and can you even really rule out any team with Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali and Matthew Wade? Plus, there is always the Imran Tahir factor...! This is The Hundred Club: a community for fans of short format cricket.

Birmingham Phoenix Analyst Dan Weston drops by to talk about their entertaining 2021 campaign, and how their 2022 team was built!

It's shaping up to be a busy sporting summer for any number of reasons, including the second year of The Hundred competition. One of the players who'll be hoping to take centre-stage in that is England's Georgia Elwiss, who is representing Birmingham Phoenix in the tournament. From winning the World Cup with England in 2017 to lifting the Rachel Heyhoe-Flint Trophy with Southern Vipers, Georgia is someone who has done it all in the sport - and someone we've wanted to have on the podcast for a long time. So when we managed to book in this conversation, we knew it was going to be a cracker – and it doesn't disappoint! We talk about how last year's Hundred panned out; her love of cricket and where it came from; playing for England; why she's willing to talk more about her sexuality now; her most memorable moments in the game – and so, so much more besides. We know you'll love this conversation – and we're massively grateful to Georgia for making the time to chat with us for a cracking episode of the pod. WANT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST?: @GElwiss @thehundred

Welcome to Season 5 Episode 6 of the Noughtie Child Podcast. This season, we are focusing on the Hundred Cricket Tournament! This is the last episode of this series as the very first Hundred finished on Saturday in the epic final between Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles at Lords Cricket Ground in London. We also speak about our experience at the Eliminator between Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix on Friday. We were fortunate to speak to Manchester Original and South African player Mignon Du Preez and Birmingham Pheonix player and Polly's former coach Thea Brookes. They were both incredible to speak to and offered such interesting perspectives into the game. You can also follow us on Instagram @noughtichildpodcast and on Twitter @00ChildPodcast. We also have a YouTube Channel were all the podcast are published which is "Noughtie Child Podcast". Stay tuned for series 6 which will start in early September. 

Chris Benjamin is one of the most amazing cricket stories to come out of The Hundred. He has gone from university student to Warwickshire's second XI to Birmingham Phoenix in just a couple of months. But he has grasped every opportunity. In his first match against London Spirit, he hit a match winning innings, was named Hero Of The Match and had Kevin Petersen drooling with his inventive shots. Since then, the impressive Birmingham Phoenix have swept aside their competition and on Saturday 21 August 2021 Chris will play his first ever match at Lord's... in the final of The Hundred. Rich and Tom ask Chris all about that journey, where it can take him next and whether he would rather face a fast ball from Marchant de Lange or Tymal Mills!

The Hundred is heading towards its conclusion as the group stage has ended. The boys go through each team and review their season. Talk about who they were impressed by. Then they take a look forward towards the eliminator and the final, before calling their expected champions! Go on Birmingham Phoenix! To wrap the show up they chat about the big news from the England team. Sibley has been dropped, and Malan is back. Will that make the difference? Will Pope play? How will they screw it up this time?

Welcome to Season 5 Episode 4 of the Noughtie Child Podcast. This season, we are focusing on the Hundred Cricket Tournament! This week we continue to discuss the matches which happened last week and highlight some of the superstars of the tournament so far such as the No Balls TCP duo, Alex Hartley and Kate Cross. We also got to catch up with Trent Rockets player Emily Windsor to speak all things cricket, the Hundred and work-life. Polly shares an on-going embarrassing situation with a Birmingham Phoenix player and raises a point about something Richard always says. You can follow the podcast to know when new episodes come out.

Cricviz Analyst Ben Jones joined Ed and Charlie for a Men's Tournament Round-Up where they chatted about each team and the different tactics and trends we've been seeing in the tournament. London Spirit (0:32), Welsh Fire (10:46), Rebuilding the Spirit and Fire (19:40), Birmingham Phoenix (29:04), Oval Invincibles (44:06), Manchester Originals (52:54), Trent Rockets (58:52), Northern Superchargers (1:08:21), Southern Brave (1:19:36)

Tom and Oli discuss the action from round 6 of The Hundred... until Rich then joins in the fun. It's a slightly chaotic update, with the focus turning from the disappointments of rain to the action in the tournament tables. Shafali Verma seems to be hitting form at just the right time for Birmingham Phoenix, but will the loss of the red-hot Moeen Ali hurt their men's prospects? Did Shane Warne's London Spirit leave it too late to try their young talent? And who had the more embarrassing injury: Alex Hales or Eoin Morgan?

Tom and Rich discuss the action from round 5 of The Hundred as the tournament approaches its final stages. The women's competition continues to produce high quality matches and a few surprises, with stars like Tammy Beaumont, Nat Sciver and Jemimah Rodrigues continuing to shine. On the men's side, the London Spirit remain winless (much to Rich's frustration) but the other seven teams remain in the hunt for a place in the top three. Wahab Riaz justifies his late arrival with a scintillating display of white ball bowling and the batting of Birmingham Phoenix looks fearsome with Moeen Ali getting sterling support from youngsters Chris Benjamin and Will Smeed. There is just enough time to talk about the England versus India test match too... Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/xm5DxYTvjFc Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/thehundredclub1

For episode 8, we're joined by Warwickshire, Central Sparks, and Birmingham Phoenix fast bowler Issy Wong. 19-year-old Wong has already been clocked at over 70 miles an hour, and she has expressed her desire to become the world's fastest female bowler. But there's so much more to Issy's story than just being that girl who wants to hit 80 clicks. Issy walks us through her Hong Kong roots and her early development as a cricketer, before discussing how professionalization has already had a big impact on her career. We also talk about her approach to fast bowling, her plans for The Hundred, and her England ambitions.

This season, we are going to be focusing on “The Hundred”. The Hundred is an action-packed, unmissable new 100 ball cricket competition that will put you on the edge of your seat. Everyone is welcome. It will feature world-class players and massive names from around the world. Eight brand new city-based women's and men's teams will compete over five weeks every summer (Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Super Northern Chargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire. A men's squad and women's squad will be formed for each team, with the competitions running alongside each other. Each squad will be made up of 15 players with a maximum of three overseas stars. This is huge for the women's game and this is something we are really passionate about. Each week we will discuss all the games that happen, the best and worst moments! The format was invented to attract younger and more diverse crowds to watch cricket, with the expectation that the shorter format will mean each match lasts around two-and-a-half hours. The BBC will show free-to-air broadcasts of the competition, while all of the women's matches and some of the men's matches will be available to stream for free on Sky Sports' YouTube channel. The tournament will give equal weight to both men's and women's sides, with almost all the matches taking place as back-to-back double-headers at the same venue on the same day. One ticket will give access to both the men's and women's games, while men and women will share the same prize money.  Today, we are speaking to "Birmingham Pheonix" player Eve Jones and "Manchester Originals" player Georgie Boyce. We also are going to discuss the first match of the tournament: Oval Invincibles v Manchester Originals on the 21st July

In this episode Charlie was joined by Will Smeed of Somerset and the Birmingham Phoenix. They chatted about the new tactics, how he's settling in with the side, and how his Mum didn't believe him when he told her that the Phoenix had picked him up.

Continuing our Team Preview Series, we take a look at the Edgbaston based Birmingham Phoenix. Coached by Daniel Vettori, the Phoenix possess some of the finest T20 batters in world cricket in captain Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, and have some excellent flexibility in all departments. We take a look through their best team and give our predictions on how they'll perform this summer.

Data Insights Manager for Birmingham Phoenix, Dan Weston, gives his view on some of The Hundred's big questions: Is it the end for fixed batting orders? Why were certain players overlooked in the draft? Should teams pick all-rounders? Will The Hundred need to invent new fielding positions? How should teams approach the power play? Will The Hundred improve England's young players? This is The Hundred Club, cricket's newest fan community. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/RgCkgZgrwdo Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/thehundredclub1

In this episode we got the opportunity to chat to Dan Weston who provides recruitment data and strategy services to the Birmingham Phoenix of The Hundred, as well as the mighty Leicestershire in county cricket. He gave us a really fascinating insight into how the Phoenix staff went about building their team through the draft process, and how he approaches finding valuable players in T20 cricket in general. It's an excellent listen so do enjoy.

With Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali on the pitch, and Daniel Vettori pulling strings, you might think that Birmingham Phoenix are the 'nice guys' of The Hundred cricket. But will that translate into wins? Rich, Oli and Tom look at their chances of a team that have approached the draft process very differently: the early picks went to domestic stars like Liam Livingstone. Can Finn Allen, Adam Milne and Imran Tahir prove their point? This is The Hundred Club, cricket's newest fan community. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/rcAp_E91oJs Twitter: https://twitter.com/thehundredclub1

Shefali Verma and Elysse Perry might be the two best overseas players in women's squads for The Hundred. Rich, Oli and Tom don't think they are the only talented cricket players on the team. Issy Wong, Amy Jones and Georgia Elwiss will certainly be hoping to do their part too. Will the Phoenix prove as strong on the pitch as they look on paper?

He tells us what they do to tackle corruption and how convicted cricketers are helped following a ban. We hear from Scottish cricketer Abtaha Maqsood on Ramadan, wearing a Hijab and preparing to play for the Birmingham Phoenix in the Hundred.
