🚨RUMOUR: It has been reported that the 2026 Fife Flyers Valentine's Jerseys will only be worn during the warm-ups, as "happily single" Logan Neilson objects to wearing his Valentines Jersey for the game.

England's toughest test was against Nortje, Rabada and Jansen and they won that series without playing like this. Still think SA take that series with one form batter, but Stokes' ton in Manchester which turned the series was secured through graft. This is silly. #Ashes
They will say they've played *this* way since the start of last summer, but that's bollocks and should be treated as such #Ashes

South Africa are going to be without two of their all-time greats, aged 29 and 30, at a home World Cup because of idiotically inflexible fitness standards that actually have little to do with cricketing demands.

And the Wyvern should be running for cover. Delighted that @SomersetCCC’s Stumpy the Dragon will be there for the unveiling and hopeful this will finally disabuse @SomersetCCC of the ridiculous notion that their symbol is anything other than a dragon!

Counterpoint: It’s ceding control of the game to the tiny minority who would react with aggression and/or violence to a dismissal they wrongly perceive as unfair.

Bowlers side. What is it that a batter complains to a bowler about after being run out at the non strikers end? Are they apologizing for their negligence? Why abuse the bowler when the batter is taking liberties or being negligent?

Ok let’s talk skill @theanalyst Isn’t it a great skill to time leaving the crease to complete your run safely at the other end? That’s a required skill we can agree on right. So why are so many batters taking shortcuts and being lazy and neglecting that skill?

This is so ridiculous. If you can’t say what you want to say in 280 characters, then start a blog. If people start posting stupidly long essays it will ruin Twitter even more than it has already been. If you really feel you need that many characters then I think you’re a [cont.]

If England had won the men's Euros, do you think a single player would have not got an MBE at the very least?
No. They'd have all been honoured because winning a tournament is a team achievement.
Genuinely astonishing this committee have seen fit to just pick out 4.

4 players?? FFS. This is absolute horseshit from the sport honours committee. Hugh Robertson says they didn't want to "carpet bomb" the whole squad "because then you get people who’ve done 5mins on the pitch and get an award."
Alright then...1/

@_hypocaust is one of the most prominent supporters and promoters of women's cricket on Twitter, and does a damn sight more than CA - should be receiving bloody commission, not takedowns.
