This study investigated the hydration profile of high-performance female cricket players competing at a national tournament. The profile comprised hydration monitoring (n = 18) and a questionnaire (n = 20). Our objectives were to 1) advance the understanding of fluid losses in cricket sessions across a tournament and 2) assess the hydration knowledge and practices in female cricket players. Body mass before and after each game inning was recorded in order to estimate sweat rate, sweat loss, and percentage body-mass loss. Comparisons were made between groups categorized according to level of activity during each inning. When sweat rates were estimated according to actual activity time, results were in the range of those in other female team sports but less than results from male cricket players. A range of knowledge of hydration issues was also observed. This study supports the need for individualized hydration recommendations and provides direction for further hydration education in women’s cricket.

Female cricket players have received little media or social recognition over the years. There have been reviews done on research focusing on male cricketers; however, no review to date has considered research on female cricketers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the available literature pertaining to research on female cricketers. A selection of electronic databases was searched to find all relevant published articles. Gender or media based studies were excluded as this was not the focus of the paper. The results suggest that there is a paucity of research. The review highlights areas of research priority.

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to observe the behavior of male and female cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) interactions. The objects of this study were five male crickets and one female cricket that had been isolated for twenty-four hours. This research is an exploratory descriptive study observing all male and female cricket (gryllus bimaculatus) behaviors. The research method used is ad libitum which is observing all visible activities, both social behavior and daily behavior of male and female crickets. Retrieval of data using direct observation, recording sounds and then recorded in the observation sheet, observation notes, and documentation tools. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques that describe the behaviors that arise during observation. The results showed that the behavior that is often performed by crickets is sounding, eating, climbing, mating and attacking other crickets. Crickets perform sounding behavior to attract the attention of female crickets, show their existence and to defend their territory and food sources. crickets also often climb, to escape from the container because crickets want to live freely. Crickets perform eating behavior to maintain life and will show aggressive behavior when fighting over food and when maintaining their partners. Female crickets will mating if captivated by male crickets.</em></p>

Background: Concussion in sport is a topic of growing interest in Australia and worldwide. To date, relatively few studies have examined the true incidence of concussion in cricket. Hypothesis: Concussion in cricket is more common than current literature suggests. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: This is a prospective registry and subsequent analysis of head impacts and concussions in elite-level male and female cricketers in Australia over 2 seasons (2015-2016 and 2016-2017). A total of 172 male and 106 female domestic and international players in 2015-2016 and 179 males and 98 females in 2016-2017 were included. Results: There were 92 head impacts (29 concussions) in men’s matches and 15 head impacts (8 concussions) in women’s matches. Match incidence rates per 1000 player days were 7.2 head impacts (2.3 concussions) in elite male cricket and 3.7 head impacts (2.0 concussions) in elite female cricket. This equates to a head impact every 2000 balls and concussion every 9000 balls in male domestic cricket. Concussion rates per 1000 player-match hours were 0.4 for elite males and 0.5 for elite females; 53% of head impacts in females were diagnosed as concussions compared with 32% in males, and 83% of concussions resulted in missing no more than 1 game. Conclusion: The rate of concussion in cricket is higher than previously appreciated; however, the majority of patients recovered quickly, and players generally did not miss much playing time as a result. The institution of concussion policies after head impact, including player substitution, appears to have had an effect on increasing reporting of symptoms, resulting in an increase in diagnosis of concussion. Clinical Relevance: Concussion in cricket is not as infrequent as previously assumed. Ongoing review of the rules and regulations is required to ensure that protection of player welfare lies in parallel with other sporting codes.
