Or we could stop being so precious and accept that these random words containing 'man' do not exclude or preclude women from playing cricket. E.g. "mankind" has been perfectly acceptable English for centuries. Is NASA going to send another spacecraft to the Moon to change the plaque to "We came in peace for all humankind?"The England team have been referring to a nighthawk for at least a couple of years.
