Be careful with your @X account folks, as you'll get this rubbish if someone hacks you - it's taken them a month to tell me they couldn't give a flying **** about having me on their platform - my one ask is please retweet this, as people should know what they're up against☹️

@gulu1959 @jon_selvaraj I still remember my Dad almost wetting himself at one of the greatest of all Colemanballs, 'The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class'

A wonderful memory for me watching this life in Calif as our Sriram Singh shot off at the start and set a blistering world record pace tho he eventually finished 7th @jon_selvaraj

Just visited my old account and see that not only is whoever stole it from me taking the piss out of me and my followers but also @x as well - come on @support - you may not have the common decency to reply to me but ffs either give me the account back or shut it down

In Philadelphia in 1913 the end of an era was nigh .......... @CricketWebNet @stevesmith73652 @Cricket_Books cricketweb.net/books/philadel…

An interesting book from last year dealing with what is, for most us, the most important issue in the game @CricketWebNet @huwzat @BloomsburyBooks cricketweb.net/books/the-fina…

@gulu1959 Go Gulu!

I am continuously working through the night on my 21st book despite a series of health setbacks since January, since it is a book very special to me with a very tight deadline. Send me strength, cricket lovers!

Somebody told me today that if I paid them £500 they could get my account back for me - of course I'm not so stupid as to pay that amount of money, but he did convince me that he had the technical ability to do it - so if he can why won't you @x @support?

This weekend I shall probably continue to whine at @x @support but at @CricketWebNet we will have something much more interesting, my reviews of @huwzat's 2025 book and of another instalment of @stevesmith73652's telling of the Philadelphia Story

Every morning I live in hope that @x and/or @Support might decide I'm worth responding to, and every morning I'm disappointed - it's becoming a way of life!

@WG_RumblePants They've still got a decent side out humbling Lancs at the moment 🙁

17 Surrey players are have been drafted into the Hundred. 17!!! How many more do you think need to be drafted before Alec Stewart has to dust off his pads and play a bit of Metro Bank? 🙏

It's now up to 35 messages and almost as many emails that @x and @support have failed to acknowledge let alone respond to - I wonder if anything will change when one of their AI bots finally works out what ****s they are?

@pushkar_g_singh @Cullivanpeter @gulu1959 A rare one

@Cullivanpeter @gulu1959 @FertangFre62008 Once, the great Keith Miller told Collie and Garry that cricket is a funny game. Whenever you think you have mastered it, it surprises you. Collie was a superstar then. Miller's words were prophetic. Collie scored a pair in his next test and was dropped.

So 67 years after the tragic accident that claimed the life of his great friend whilst he was at the wheel, Garry has finally joined Collie Smith in the great cricket ground in the sky. You can almost hear the laughter ringing down @FertangFre62008

Back to North America with this one, and the story of the Patterson family, and in particular George Stuart Patterson @CricketWebNet @Cricket_Books cricketweb.net/books/hand-in-…

Books of scorecards and statistics are not as indispensable as they once were, but are still important for some readers @CricketWebNet @WisdenCricket @WisdenAlmanack @AskStevenSport cricketweb.net/books/wbotc/

This weekend on @CricketWebNet we will have two reviews, one of the latest from @Cricket_Books and the other a new addition to a major series from @AskStevenSport @WisdenCricket @WisdenAlmanack @BloomsburyBooks

@gulu1959 For all the years I was on 10mg a day I never had any sort of headache at all, then they took me off amlodipine and within 3 weeks the migraines had started again - now on 2.5mg a day and, so far, that has done the trick - no headaches, normal bp and no swollen legs

@FertangFre62008 Odd side effect, I assume mild

We welcome Peter Lloyd to our blog, who shares with us the prologue to a forthcoming book that will appeal to all cricketing bibliophiles @cricketwebnet cricketweb.net/forthcoming-bo…

A new series of monographs by James Merchant has recently been launched in Australia, and here we have Martin and Archie's thoughts on the first to appear @CricketWebNet cricketweb.net/books/frank-al…

Another forgotten American cricketer is profiled in one of Steve Smith's recent releases @CricketWebNet @stevesmith73652 cricketweb.net/books/coates

Still not a word from @x or @support which, I can only conclude, represents an acknowledgment that their position is indefensible
