🤝Australian Sean Abbott is returning to Surrey for eight Championship matches as per last month's county transfer column: County cricket transfers round-up: Aussie influx despite Stokes plea mol.im/a/15545337 via @MailSport

@dafrankland OK, but why wouldn't I feel comfortable with that?

@BoothCricket I think it offers too many easy (and demonstrable) comparisons between the two. Ones which would paint the ECB and English cricket in a negative light.

The unexpected link between Donald Trump and county cricket dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@dafrankland Why's that?

@BoothCricket This probably isn't a line I'd feel comfortable using, in your position.

@connellm Could do with a few of those myself...

@BoothCricket Bring back Readers

EXCLUSIVE 🏏 The transit of English cricket's new batch of Dukes balls has been disrupted by the war in the Middle East. Only half the usual amount are expected to be available at the start of the season. ECB admit: "It's been a wake-up call." dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@JohnSunCricket Let’s hope it was a blip…

@BoothCricket I watched him bat a few times on TV in the SA20 when I was in Cape Town in January and he looked terrible!

Both Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett go into the county season under pressure for their Test spot - and waiting for a slip-up is Glamorgan’s Jersey batsman Asa Tribe dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@Prithvi10_ Rew got more opportunities for Somerset than Bethell did for Warwickshire. England did well to fast-track Bethell.

@BoothCricket Its just baffling how James and Bethell were U 19 teammates and James had 11 FC 100s while Bethell had none when he got his 1st one at SCG

Bethell, Tribe, James Rew. Trust Mccullum to field them together in at least one test in the next one year.

@malcolmconn Not sure if you’re referring to England’s Ashes effort or Australia’s T20 World Cup, Mal…

Much deck chair shuffling expected on the Titanic?

Liam Livingstone’s England career needn’t be over just yet. But his outburst hasn’t helped - and it doesn’t tell the whole story dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

Not great game management at the end there by England #sticktocricket

@LancsCCMG You will go a long way to find a better piece of writing than this peerless obituary from Wisden: wisden.com/wisden-cricket…

@ideal_christ Fantastic tweet, working yourself into an UPPER-CASE FURY based on an invented premise 😂

@BoothCricket If this is done by an Indian or Australian player.... 'No sportsmanship from Indian/Australian players' will be your tweet...RACIST SOB!!

Careless by Pakistan, ruthless by Bangladesh

@VaibhavKhairna7 Yes, I agree with that - and always have done.

@BoothCricket Will u say the same for Bairstow run out? Careless by england, ruthless by australia

"Brilliant run-out" doing some work here.

Yesterday's Hundred auction proved a lucrative day's work for James Coles, who is only 21 but is already being touted as an England international dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@gulu1959 @BarethGale23 And the "useless English cricket media"?

@BoothCricket @BarethGale23 It was a motivated leak for sure

A big moment as Sunrisers Leeds (one of the Hundred teams with IPL connections) bid for Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed.
