@icelandcricket Mark Wood, saw him at T20 finals day about 10 years ago and he was lightning.

Who is the fastest bowler you have ever seen?

@johnlbirch @MrBoothY6 COVID was a perfect chance to abolish them and trust teachers to assess pupils accurately. Nobody would miss SATS.

@MrBoothY6 I find it incredible that KS2 SATs still exist. The cost must be huge and the educational benefit is zero (indeed negative given how the Y6 curriculum is distorted). All to produce primary school league tables of dubious accuracy.

Now the SATs papers are published, I can talk about how whoever made one of the arithmetic questions 67 divided by 1 is both very funny and also no friend of mine.

@icelandcricket The IPL got even more boring

While we were locked out of X for two weeks by the hackers, Zak Crawley was finally dropped by England and Sir David Attenborough made a century. Pakistan struggled in Bangladesh and the Icelandic domestic season got underway. Did anything else happen of note?

@CrispsOfBritain Bacon Wotsits

Which crisp flavours would you bring back in a heartbeat?

@ErikaMorris79 Always struck me as a selfish player, out for his average as much as anything. 2019 semi-final when India needed a leader to step up he dropped himself down the order.

@ThatsSoVillage Scenes!

@Absolutemtb1 Bacon Wotsits from years and years ago but Google doesn't remember them!

OK, I’ve asked this before, but I need to know if it’s changed. What’s your favourite flavour of crisps? Mine is cheese and onion, anything else is the wrong answer 😜😂

@NoContextCounty Same here, feels meritorious for once

You know what, I don’t hate it

@PeakWeaves @WG_RumblePants @Amermalik12 That one-legged pull is peak Gaffer.

@WG_RumblePants @Amermalik12 A god with a white helmet.

There’s nothing wrong with admiring a player. But when it becomes obsessive to the point that it clouds your judgement and compromises your objectivity, then sorry — you’re just a PR rep or a glorified fanboy. Far too many so‑called media folk these days exposing their biases.

@KeithHavers Oof, we're off to Matlock in June, I'll look out for it

@ovverbruv I do this one about once a year. It's near Matlock, Derbyshire. Believe it or not it's just as steep on the way up.

First time this year tackling this bad boy. #cycling I know some of you youngsters would cruise up there but I had to get out of the saddle where it gets to 14% at the top.

@WG_RumblePants It's a good point but a wide long-hop isn't the best ball to use as an example...

Ask yourself this: is James Anderson still a better red ball bowler in English conditions than: Atkinson Archer Carse Tongue Cook Potts You’re going to struggle to convince me that any of them are better than him. And if none of them are better than him, well, shouldn’t he perhaps… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@WG_RumblePants @TheCricketPaper @markbutcher72 What’s the fellas title that looks after the pitch ?

@Helen_Fields Hostage Tower by Alistair McClean. My parents had shelves full of books and we were encouraged to choose whatever we liked. I read this a few times and it was always entertaining. Honorable mention to Chocky

Need your help, BookTwitter. I'm running a National Year of Reading event for to 14-18 yr olds. Name one book that at around that age lit up your imagination. Audiobooks, graphic novels, short stories - all welcome. Stories that will set them on fire and make them want to read. I'm looking for books to rave about for the simple joy of reading, so not really the classics that they might be asked to read as past of the syllabus. Go...

@Absolutemtb1 Continental but that's because my road bike came with them!

Just out of interest, tyre choice:

@RealDanGliebitz Yep, I've got a pint on the go while planning my year 4 lessons for this afternoon

As a surgeon I find this woke Green puritanism disgusting. There's nothing wrong with having a drink or two at work to help steady the nerves.

@but_cyclists That's terrifying. Motornormativity at its scariest. No thought for the life lost and the others affected by this dangerous driving.

A reminder that if you ride a bicycle, your life is worth nothing. Even if you are doing everything right, a motorist can kill you and face no repercussions as long as they have a family and work hard, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

@thecricketdraft hi guys, my captaincy points didn't register for yesterday, any chance you could DM me for a chat please?

@leonagraham It's not cheating, it's riding

Cycled in today but cheated a bit with an electric bike!
