#OnTheUp: ODI streaks and scary tales
This week, Australia Women matched the 2003 record set by Ricky Ponting's team for the most consecutive ODI wins in a row. The team had plenty to celebrate, but first, there was just gratitude among the group for getting to do what they love.

Jos Buttler, meanwhile, used the meme for more pleasant memories.
As the English summer came to a close, the England and Wales Cricket Board took a poignant moment to remember just how much the world has changed in these past few months, and all the people affected.
