David Ward

@FootballCliches @podcast_libero Instead of Jonathan creating further podcasts just to get another crack at the quiz, can we just have all quizzes involving him anyway?

THE FOOTBALL CLICHES QUIZ 𝐗𝐗𝐈 @FootballCliches 🆚 @podcast_libero ❓ World Cup winners with prime ministers' names, Premier League beanpoles, footballers dubbed into other languages, an apparently obligatory question about the 1930 World Cup, Happy Hunting Grounds AND MORE

@mroller98 @ESPNcricinfo Generations still talk about the time Ian Bell came out to bat with a broken foot in an ODI against Bangladesh.

Gautam Gambhir has thrown his weight behind injury replacements in Test cricket - but Ben Stokes believes the idea is "absolutely ridiculous" and will involve too many loopholes @ESPNcricinfo espncricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-i…

@Myers2409 @benjonescricket Rabada has one of the best strike rates of all time

@dward56 @benjonescricket Any of them all time greats? I don’t think so

Joe Root has made as many Test tons in the last four years as Andrew Strauss made in his entire career, and more than Graham Gooch, David Gower, Ken Barrington, Len Hutton managed full stop

@Myers2409 @benjonescricket Cummins, Rabada, Ashwin, Bumrah, Lyon are pretty good amongst others

@benjonescricket And didn’t have to face the all time great bowlers the others faced! 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Indikadesaram @tickerscricket That’s literally what he’s doing

@tickerscricket He nor the Indian cricketing circle lecture others about spirit of cricket though

I take no pleasure in saying this, but: rattled.

@cricball101 @benjonescricket Fear of what? Getting out? He should be over that by now

@benjonescricket You say shithousery, I say fear

Say what you like about England's persistent with Crawley, but I *think* it's all been worth it for his 10 minutes of absolute god-tier shithousery

@mroller98 Anderson should still be playing, let’s just all accept that.

Jofra Archer is back. One change for England at Lord's, Archer replacing Josh Tongue. Gus Atkinson not deemed ready; Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes retain spots despite heavy workloads espncricinfo.com/story/eng-vs-i…

@narutothetoads1 @derekpringle Sorry I’m not disagreeing! Kohli is an all timer so there’s no comparison in ODI cricket

@dward56 @derekpringle That is fine. But even Williamson knows how to take it to the end and finish it (even in limited overs). Root and Smith haven't done that too often.

Joe Root left rueing that golden rule of run chases, when you’re in don’t leave it to anyone else…especially bowlers who think they are Wally Hammond…

@narutothetoads1 @derekpringle Yeah Kohli is the best ODI player ever and the other three are far better Test players

@derekpringle Great innings. But that's the difference between the likes of Kohli and even Williamson vs Root and Smith. The first two are great chasers under pressure in limited overs.

@FootballCliches Darren Boyd?

Please tell me which British comedy actor he looks like (tall guy, can't remember what he's been in, sitcoms more than panel shows)

@tickerscricket Very much looking forward to the ‘Over Rate Ashes’ next winter

Brilliant win for Australia, and very important that nobody look at how they were able to do it with a three-man attack.

@Scottwilsonecho He’s basically Steve Bruce now with a better squad. Dire but get themselves up for the big home games…

@joshphillip5 @WeAreTheOverlap @MiguelDelaney Bayern and Barca have both done it twice since then? And Inter and City (twice if you include domestic)

@WeAreTheOverlap @MiguelDelaney Talking total nonsense There were trebles done before 08 Been 2 trebles done since then

Was 2008 the birth of the modern superclub? 🤔 Ahead of his book release, 'States of Play – How Sportswashing Took Over Football', @MiguelDelaney joins 'It Was What It Was' to explore how football changed forever.

@FootballCliches In the Norwich Boro game when Sainz scored his first screamer, Lee Hendrie said “talk me through this technique”. I know it’s rhetorical but just felt it odd as that’s exactly what he’s there for as co-commentator

@Viv666viV @bbctms That’s a bit unfair. Won the first test incredibly and were in some of the other games for large periods but just got beaten by a better team in those conditions. It happens!

@bbctms A complete contrast to England's red ball performance in another country in the subcontinent earlier this year where they looked toothless. Leaving that aside, the way England turned this test match on it's head with one partnership deserves applause! 🙃

It's safe to say it was a record-breaking day! 🤯 #BBCCricket #PAKvENG

@ratedAMAN @ohlookitswill_ Hate to be a pedant but the run out was at Trent Bridge and this was the Oval. I remember thinking this partnership was super rapid at the time. A mere run rate of 3.64!

@ohlookitswill_ 👍🏾

The last time England had two men 150* at the crease together was against India at the Oval in 2011

@FootballCliches Trying to work out if there’s way that the third stat here could possibly be anything other than 1st considering the first two. Is it therefore the most pointless display of a stat? It’s blowing my mind

@maxrushden @BBCSport @FootballCliches Came here to post the same. Surely ‘march’ suggests imperious dominance

@BBCSport @FootballCliches verdict on ‘march’ here

Danny Ward was Leicester City's hero as they beat League Two Walsall on penalties. They march on to the next round of the #CarabaoCup. #BBCFootball

@willpooool @FootballCliches Same at first. Hart and Murphy gamely playing along

@dward56 @FootballCliches Left the telly on and didn’t hear the intro to this and thought motd was starting early, then thought I’d gone mad. Then they put this up about the conductor.
