Cricket's Superman, a history of women's football and bad unveilings

This week’s roundup also features legendary commentary, England in cricket World Cup finals and green baize antipathy

1) The Women’s World Cup is heating up, so let’s have a look at some history. Here’s a documentary celebrating 50 years of the Donny Belles, trailblazers in the English game; a short film on women’s football during the first world war; a game between Handley Page Girls and Ladies Sterling Football Club in 1919; women footballers looking cool as you like in 1920; a bit from BBC Teach on the history of the women’s game; and the National Football Museum taking us through England’s run at the unofficial World Cup in 1971.

2) The cricket World Cup is also getting there and England appear to have a chance. As such, here are some reminders of what happens when that happens: West Indies dealing with things in 1979; Australia dealing with things in 1987; and Wasim Akram dealing with things in 1992. Go carefully, people.
