Roy from Melksham

@SenseInACesspit @henrywinter They won’t add it on. The don’t add it on. Why isn’t there a match clock?

@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.

Just been spotted in the wild by a Twitter fan. 👀

@WG_RumblePants @surreycricket If you insist!

Really REALLY wish I could be back at the Oval today. It’s going to be a brilliant day of Championship cricket! If you’re anywhere within comfortable travelling distance, I’d highly recommend that you make the journey and enjoy a glorrious day watching @surreycricket v @EssexCricket Adult tickets £20 Kids £1 FREE AFTER TEA!

@WG_RumblePants Not in the pavilion Rumble?

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.

So then, if the County Championship is broadcast professionally, shown on TV and given a little bit of promotion, people will actually watch it??? Hmmm… There’s a lesson there somewhere @SkyCricket

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

In under a year, the cricketing world turns to Melbourne 🇦🇺 Australia vs England 🏏 The 150th Anniversary Test at the MCG. 11–15 March 2027. A historic first: a day/night Test under lights with the pink ball, honouring tradition while embracing the modern game 🏟️ The stage. The rivalry. The atmosphere. Unmissable.

@LalitKModi @IPL @ECB_cricket Yep, Joe Root will be on the next flight to Mumbai.

That would be the worst decision- love me or hate me old timers - the game has moved on. The writing is on THE WALL- you cannot be playing top cricket and not be in the @IPL - get your @ECB_cricket to dump the hundred first and fix the short format.

@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.

@weymarplanet Only one specialist bowler in Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the 20th century…

The ultimate question: Who is the greatest Test Match bowler of all time? 🏏 ​Drop your pick and the reason why below! 👇

@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.

@icod Nibbles?

No. No. No.

@TheDarkAngel43 @weymarplanet The point Weymar is making is that it was easier to say that if you were Viv Richards as opposed to Herbert Chang.

@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. 🧵

@fredfertang Soft as shite. In my day we’d never be sat in t’pavilion with a sore ankle.

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?

@SkyCricket All I see there is someone who made a terrible decision about how to wear his cap.

Jacob Bethell shares his experiences at Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the impact of coach Andy Flower 💭🔴

@NoContextCounty Not sure callanhoppe will be happy to see that screengrab.

I love the idea of Jude Bellingham trying to explain to Vinicius why he’s get up at 2am to watch England lose

@icod 10k run along Lake Zürich. Smug.

Well, I've been up, made a cake, put the washing out and fed the cats. You?

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

I have been wearing my cap around the house 😜
