@RoyfromMelksham @henrywinter The ref will add it on, it’s not about that, it’s about breaking up momentum. It’s easily solved, make the players stand in the centre circle so they can’t be coached and make the captain go off for 5 minutes when play restarts.

Robert Sanchez down apparently injured. Leeds United fans outraged. They've been building. Believe it is a tactical time-out, time-wasting, gamesmanship. Arguing between players, who are all taking on water tbf. Sanchez fine to continue. It's a miracle. #CHELEE

@icod Going to happen sooner or later. I remember passing through Brussels Eurostar only an hour or so after you’d had a knicker mishap there.

A spear of sunlight pierces the shadows creeping across the Oval. Essex are resolute and impregnable. Surrey, scenting a whiff of blood, test their defences. Fielders prowl the outfield like wolves. But, ball after ball… DOWN SLAMS THE BAT Obdurate, granite, unhurried resistance. Cricket at its purist

@WG_RumblePants @SkyCricket I’ve always maintained that if the CC had even one tenth of the Hundred’s marketing budget, and not hidden in the ECB attic like some embarrassing great aunt, it could be transformed.

@WisdenCricket Total bullshit having it as a day/night. It’s not ‘embracing the modern game’, it’s just a gimmick.

@WisdenCricket Well that’s Adam Hollioake but the real gem here is the full naming of the Akai Singer Champions Trophy. The Moose Cup almost pales in comparison.

@CaughtAtPoint The turning point of the series. England were a couple of hours away from winning that test in Trinidad and going 2-0 up. It all went wrong for them after that.

@weymarplanet Among all this chaos one man refused a blank cheque to play in apartheid SA. He said his people and their respect was more important. The King 👑 Isaac Alexander Vivian Richards.

The story of the West Indies Rebel Tours to South Africa isn’t an easy one, but it's part of our cricket history that is worth remembering. It’s like a tale of talent, survival, and a brutal double standard. 🧵

An incapacitated Fred Trueman watches the action from the dressing room at the Oval - the look on his face rather suggests that had it not been his ankle that had gone that that camera might well have found itself being shoved up the photographer's backside

@WG_RumblePants Yes, and yes. That was a road - albeit a very green road - at The Oval (we were both there I think). Never thought I’d see Leicestershire rack up 691 in my lifetime!

@RoyfromMelksham I’d have totally agreed with you but for his last two performances for Surrey. He played well constructed innings — albeit (and this is a caveat) on two pretty flat pitches.

Bethell Duckett Smith or Rew Root Brook Rew or Smith (wk) Stokes When you write it down, it doesn’t look bad as a top 7 🤔🤷 I’m not even convinced myself that this would be the way to go. It’s just something I’m mulling over. And, yes, I know that Bethell’s not an established opener and I do remember the failed Dan Lawrence experiment 😬 I’d counter that, however, with the fact that Lawrence isn’t even a number 3 — he’s a number 5 or 6 — and that Bethell’s probably a better batter than Lawrence and has a (gulp) “higher ceiling” 🤦 What do you reckon? Have I gone mad?

@AnnieChave So lovely to read about this award. Somerset is lucky to have you, and cricket needs more Annie Chaves.
