@Kaus_Pandey17 Am certain that Oliver Davidson played for Scotland in the recent T20 World Cup.

Every Jude Bellingham-cricket story makes me think of his scores that are still available online

@Sooraj_Ayyappan @himganj153 Which is the record?

@himganj153 Missed the record by 4 balls.

Yesterday's RCB vs MI match had a whopping 262 balls!

When L Sivaramakrishnan was 14 an Indian player called him to clean his shoes. On his 17th birthday another Indian player said, ‘you have got a chocolate cake as dark as his skin colour’. Now at 60, LS opens up on his old wounds and battling depression. indianexpress.com/article/long-r…

Sublime knock from Smriti today, one of her best. Stood up as captain when required. Supreme consistency from Lauren all season. And excellent performances when needed from Nadine, Georgia, Richa, Sayali, Radha, Gautami, Grace and Shreyanka.

Another supreme campaign from RCB. Seven different half-centurions, five wins in a row, the highest WPL partnership in a final. Replaced Perry with ease. Three cups in three years. Well-deserved run of success for us fans. Long may it continue.

RCBBBBBB. WINNING. It's what we do, it's too easy. Teams prepare all year to lose to us. IPL and WPL champions at the same time!

Alright, this tweet reached its intended audience. Seeing the expected idiots send abuse was entertaining but it's gotten too boring now. Time to log off once more.

International cricket tournaments have lost all credibility in the last few years. One country gets to shift games to a different country, another is shut out. Double standards and hypocrisy. Impossible for me to support the big bullies.

Points being carried forward in 2026. Good lord. Well done to Pakistan for playing sensibly. Not a serious sport at all. I need to log off once more and stay off Twitter.

While I'm here, I've also noticed the ICC ruined a perfect U19 World Cup format - designed for player development and exposure - for lesser jeopardy and more guaranteed (India) games. TV money eh? Is there any part of this game that isn't being ruined anymore?

From a playing perspective, the Champions Trophy was an absolute sham. One gets to stay in the same country, while others have to travel and adapt. No one cares about level playing conditions as long as India wins though.

Little interest in the IPL auction. I guess that’s life when you’re world champions, sitting at the top.

SINGAPOREEEEEE ❤️

Greatest night of my life as a Singapore fan. Incredible! So proud of the team and thankful for the adventure and the glory. See y’all in Saudi Arabia! Priceless.

Our Lions are heroes. They deserve all the praise & credit. Congratulations to all of them. Amazing campaign. Safuwan & Hariss were magnificent. Where would we be without them? So many other fantastic performances from others too. Thanks guys!

Singapore have made it to the Asian Cup. I repeat, Singapore have made it to the Asian Cup. What a night Photo: CNA/Matthew Mohan

LET’S GO!!!

Great moment, great feeling. 💙❤️

So so happy for Shafali today, what an unbelievable performance. Wrote her own redemption story. And what a terrific performance from Deepti.

Special win. Sobbing tears. Exorcised the ghosts of the 2017 loss. This Indian team have created beautiful memories for a lifetime 💙
