@SagarH62 @WSCupCricket Gavaskar had a poor tour of Australia in 80/81 season

Little Master painting fours on Sydney’s heart. Aggression met elegance, pace bowed to poise, Poetry in motion: Gavaskar's pure timing 👌

@Irfanooq Denise married umpire Ross Emerson

DID YOU KNOW? Terry Alderman and Denise Alderman were the first brother and sister to represent Australia in international cricket. Terry debuted in June 1981, followed by Denise seven months later, in January 1982. #CricketTwitter #Cricket

@DanielCherny Sad. The match has received next to no coverage in the lead up, or even on day 1

Glad the Sheffield Shield fans association had its way and this remains a day game

@MarkJoseWil @Irfanooq Michael Taylor and Greg Shipperd also went on those tours. Wessels joined for the 86/87 tour

@Peter_Fitz Oh dear

The premise of your question rests on trope that they are truck-drivers in tutus, storming sports *& dressing rooms to snatch trophies & leer. The reality is they are mostly gentle souls with courage enough to live true to themselves, who want simple inclusion, including sport.

@AndrewGigacz The highest in the Sheffield Shield is Lindsay Hassett, 122 in each innings, Vic v NSW, SCG, late January 1940...

In the #VICvQLD #SheffieldShield game, Hugo Burdon top-scored with 43 for Queensland in both innings. With your vast database and skill set, @RicFinlay, can you tell us how often a team has had an identical top score from the same batter in both innings of a First Class match?

@RicFinlay Not many draws compared to other venues?

Sheffield Shield wins in the 61 matches at the WACA since 2013-14: 32 WA 6 Vic 5 SA 4 Tas 2 NSW 0 Qld

@IncrediblyBozza So strange. Went there as a 16 year old. Oh well. Rioli played for WA and he came from NT as an adult!!

@IncrediblyBozza Why was he playing for Vic. Grew up in Mandurah?

With State of Origin returning, here is a clip of Brian Taylor turning it on for Victoria in 1986. He kicked 4 goals in the game in a season where he kicked 100 goals. #GoPies

@FXMC1957 Legendary

5 February 1976. In one of the greatest sporting moments, Austrian skier Franz Klammer produced an exceptional and exhilarating run to win the Men’s Downhill gold medal at the Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games.

@BhushanManmath Ryan Harris. Bruce Reid. Terry Alderman

An underrated legend?

@PaulAmy375 Tony Dodemaide was a pretty decent player

Handy School Sport Victoria 12 years and under team back in 2013, wasn't it?

@wutube … but not in the BBL finals

With Mitch Marsh & Travis Head opening, I can understand why Steve Smith isn't in Australia's T20 World Cup squad. On the other hand, doesn't feel right not having Smith in a World Cup squad. Proven international players have a history of standing up in big WC games.

@bluesfor @ChrisBradbury87 @dizzy259 Do they? The West set out it out clearly yesterday. If the police are satisfied there is a terrorism offence they will charge him. If not then the media would need to be very careful about labelling it ahead of time

@ChrisBradbury87 @dizzy259 Yet the media stays silent.

@CricketopiaCom Some things never change. Scorchers > Sixers

The last time Brett Lee ran in during competitive cricket and he delivered an absolute thriller. #OnThisDay in 2015

@ozdale … and DeMinaur grew up in 🇪🇸, so our system can’t claim his success

Sure Alex De Minaur didn't make a GS semi again but he is a rusted-on top 10 player that consistently goes deep in slams. Australia has 0 players under 25 in the Top 100 and 0 players under 21 in the Top 500. We have an incoming drought; enjoy Alex's success while you can.

@damienmartyn Good to hear mate !

I can’t believe it’s been a month from yesterday that I was rushed to hospital. It’s certainly been an eventful January but the love and support still pouring in has been overwhelming. 🙏 To the people that have shared their stories of having this disease and how they coped during and after has helped me immensely so I thank you. ⭐️ Im on the mend and looking forward to getting back to my normal self. To be honest it makes you appreciate so many things. I’m so happy to just get back on the beach have a walk and swim.
