My initial thought is that they shouldn't be in the squad in the first place if they know the birth is likely to be during the match. I don't think they should be dropping everything and leaving a job half done.


That said, I definitely don't think they should be expected to miss the birth of their child, you wouldn't be in most jobs.

I'm sure the wives don't think its unprofessional. Giving birth is not easy - although I have not tried it, it certainly doesn't look easy.

Well the answer would be that if you know you?re having a baby you shouldn?t go on tour then.


But what team wouldn?t want a player like Shane Warne or Kevin Pietersen there for at least 3 out of five tests if possible. Trouble is when you let them do it then you have to let the Ashley Giles? of this world, who you could probably live without, do it to.


Should the women?s team be given time off to give birth?

Keef - in my old job it was said you could be present at conception or birth but not both

PGC - have been following Warwickshire for a long time now. First ever game was a John Player League match against Kent somewhere in the mists of time.

    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
