Drop kick

@WG_RumblePants Should he be a rebel and declare a desire to play t20 in all the franchise leagues around the world?

After the 2026 IPL is done and dusted, what advice would you give Vaibhav Sooryavanshi about where he should focus next? Should he concentrate on T20 for the time being and on breaking his way into the India T20 side? Should he go on the Ireland tour? Or would you want to see him work on being a multi-format player? Has he got what it takes to become a Test cricket great for India? And if so, should he spend more time working on his red ball game?

@WG_RumblePants Had a white one as 14yo, loved it. Discussion here proving all that Twitter can be🤣

We all know they were cool.

@WG_RumblePants @beastieboy07 @DanhausenAD @WWE Seems the clear choice, given the Miz, could be almost any big name of the last 15yrs, or crazier

@Bowlinrods @beastieboy07 @DanhausenAD @WWE Demon Finn Balor would also be good

Very quickly @DanhausenAD has become my favourite character on the @wwe roster. The ultimate Entertainment in World Wrestling Entertainment

@WG_RumblePants @beastieboy07 @DanhausenAD @WWE Dream partner for him at backlash? Oba Femi for a squash match? Or something more colourful

@beastieboy07 @DanhausenAD @WWE Mine too

@WG_RumblePants That’s either a giant cravat or a tiny Nawab

@sanjaymanjrekar Why, no extra for going further, once it clears the rope, it’s wasted energy

One has to adjust to changing times as they say ☺️. So now I pay attention to only sixes that are over 80 metres. Anything under that is not excellence in power hitting for me.

@WG_RumblePants @StevenjujJu Peak twitter

@StevenjujJu Still better than your bullshit account

bullshit tweet

@Thomo_Grant Math?

Why do you have to stand on mark. It’s insane. Surely it’s an advantage for the team with the ball if nobody is on the mark. It’s primary school stuff making players stand still on bark and having to even man the mark.

@BBCWSSport Measure against the past and different formats is the problem, it’s stupid, like complaining an apple doesn’t taste like the oranges used to when you were a kid

‘Who wants to bowl in these games?’ Jim Maxwell’s worried about the future of T20 cricket – is it becoming a batter’s game? 🏏 Listen to the latest episode of #BBCStumped 👇 youtu.be/F-5yVEyMOZk

@BigKev67 It’s too one sided, but you can’t judge bowling figures of t20 now against anything other than itself, so to pit against economy rates of 50yo 50 over cricket is dishonest, they are what they are, no more or less

Jim’s right of course. You may as well just put bowling machines at both ends in an average T20 game. No jeopardy for the batters at all. Consequently all rather dull and predictable.

@GrumpyNeil_ @WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil So clearly this is your first day on this platform😂

@WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil And what about those from yesteryear? Same principle? I'm not saying it's right or wrong by the way, just that I don't think it warrants calling it out on socials

Jamieson is free to react this way and we’re free to judge him accordingly. If someone did this in club cricket, I would conclude that they’re a total arsehole. The fact fact this is the IPL does nothing to change that. You either show a modicum of class on the field or you don’t.

@WG_RumblePants In club cricket he might have worn the bat across his jaw, too. Wouldn’t do it again

@WG_RumblePants My guess is, he sees it back and thinks ‘bugger, I look a goose’ but Twitter perhaps doesn’t move on

@GrumpyNeil_ @WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil Every time it was directed to batter, yes

@WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil You know people can get over exuberant at times. I generally agree with a lot of your thoughts, but seriously, this is something and nothing. I suppose the likes of Merv and Alan Donald were cunts as well then for how they behaved?

@GrumpyNeil_ @WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil Because it’s directed at the batter, if a batter did that directed at a bowler after a six, we’d say the same exact thing. Not my favourite term, but he has clearly behaved like a cunt

@WG_RumblePants @AshesFiveNil But why has he behaved like a cunt? Yes its an exuberant celebration, but its nothing more than that. He's not shouting expletives in his face. Just curious to know whats wrong with it in a high pressure situation.

@WG_RumblePants Lunch? And if they all go to the same place they can tell eachother how good they are

Why do so many cricket journalists seem to go to the Oval more than they seem to go anywhere else?

@RonnyLerner No sound reason to change something that’s special about our game

What a load of hogwash. A draw is a result. Both teams have two hours to win, if they can’t do so, then tough luck! It’s been around for 130 years but because some people want to Americanise the sport even more, we should just do away with what is a fantastic, traditional aspect of the game? Give me a spell. The only reason extra time exists in finals is for practicality. You can’t replay the game the next week and make all other teams have a week off. And it sure as hell felt like a win for the Hawks tonight more than it did the Pies!

@Jay_Sapovits Basically everyone who pays a liv premium to see golf in the future? Given the money to make more expensive came from outside, was unsustainable and then fucked off in half a decade

Who exactly was hurt by LIV? $5b into golf ecosystem from them, $2b from private equity. Ratings higher than ever. Participation higher than ever. Fans have more interest. Players make more money. Eco system has more money. Who got hurt? LIV was the best thing to happen to golf and its going away will be bad. Product was meh, but it was necessary and brought good things to the sport I love.

@WG_RumblePants New thread? Beautiful places to put a cricket ground

What a total waste! You could put a perfectly lovely little cricket ground right on that ploughed bit.

@WG_RumblePants @grizi723 Saw someone did similar with Dale Steyn for 70 days, funny world this

@grizi723 Legal reasons

A total legend of the game — one of its biggest stars and its most innovative minds — and some old bloke called Kevin. #JaiShahJay
