Being a huge cricket fan, moving to Australia sounded dreamy, cricket on everywhere surely? Wrong. Sat in a pub thought I’d catch some of the ODI Aus vs India… Wrong! basketball, F1, Women’s AFL (?!)

@cameronponsonby “Showcase fixture” they happen all around the country between the first class and their local minor counties

Rishi Patel just hit six 6s in an over for Leicestershire in a T20 against Staffordshire. I don't know why this match is being played but it is and Leicestershire are 235-3 off 14.

Inject it

"It's like watching a repeat... UK Gold!" 🤬 #mufc

Can’t help but think Stokes’ days are numbered..!

Travis head over the last couple of years in all 3 formats is just incredible, can’t not love the way he bats.. What a player!

The Aussies only ever seem to pick from the same 14 time after time, surely there’s an abundance of young talent waiting to break through?

@SwintonGroup trying to amend my policy, unable to do so without calling? I’m in Australia and do not have the facility to call. Please dm me an email address

@Joey7Barton @CTait10

That’s the end of Donald Trump then. Great whilst it lasted. The Big Lass has spoken. 🦄

@CorbridgeCC Well that’s right…

We are delighted to announce the signing of Joe Anderson who joins us from Benwell Hill for the 2025 season . Welcome Joe, go well.🏏

@ImTanujSingh Quite worrying how Rishabh doesn’t run the first run hard though?

The way Sarfaraz Khan stopping Rishabh Pant. 😂👌 - THIS IS WHOLESOME..!!! ❤️

Alex Yee! That was absolutely incredible to watch! #GOLD #OlympicGames

@M0kujin @TheBarmyArmy I’ll say it again… Cook retired aged 33…

@Muss96 @TheBarmyArmy Cook retired at 38 Joe Root is 33 Root has 5 years until he is Cook’s age

Roooooooot 😍 How high can he go?

@M0kujin @TheBarmyArmy Cook retired aged 33?

@TheBarmyArmy 16 tests a year 5 years to 38 (age Alastair Cook retired) Current average 49 So that’s 5 x 32 innings at a conservative average of 40 = 6,400 potential runs. Even at 80% injuries is 5,120 So I think plausible he finishes his career at the top of that list. First to 16k?

Just can’t be correct, heating has been on!

The 2024 season begins today at the Hill , 1s at home to @CastleEdenCC, good luck to all our teams today and the season ahead.

@kev_lar1969 Should say old news*

@kev_lar1969 Kev, they own stakes in Clearlake and other companies in which Chelsea’s major stakeholders also own or invest in. Just business and old. PIF have fingers in many pies 👍 nothing to worry about as a Newcastle fan

Here’s a horrific thought, the PiF have bought a stake in the parent company who own Chelsea, are they bored of the FFP/PSR rules and trying to find a new way into the premier league at Newcastles expense

RIP Dave Myers, very sad news!

@WG_RumblePants If you really feel the analysis is the issue... watch the TV and stick the radio on / listen via smartphone app?

This morning, despite having bought TNT, I’ve decided to listen to TalkSPORT instead. Sometimes I actually enjoy listening to the cricket rather than watching the cricket as the analysis is often better and more interesting on the radio. Am I wierd for doing this?
