"Culture" is rugby league journalism's greatest achievement. It means everything, and so nothing.

Can anyone recall the peak of WWOS cricket commentary and tell me if they were so relentlessly critical of field settings? Does my head in listening to has beens tell me what they would do. #MensAshes #AUSvENG

England have done well to nullify the impact of Lyon in this series. #MensAshes

Loving the camera from one end broadcast. Feels like the start of summer where you’re watching low definition web streams of Shield games. #MensAshes

JL is going to be insufferable now

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

@sportznut67 Oh yeah, that makes sense.

I struggle a bit with Net Run Rate. If you bowl an opponent out who scores 100 in 10 overs, and win by chasing it down in 11 overs, will your NRR drop, despite winning? #ICCT20WorldCup

Some people wonder what the value is of forcing your employees to make gestures of support for social justice issues. That they may quit your organisation could top the list of great outcomes.

So, the South African board tells its players they have to take a knee. Then we hear Quinton de Kock - who has declined to take a knee in the past - pulls out of today's game v West Indies for "personal reasons". A dramatic start to proceedings in Dubai.

With all the chat about the English players not getting enough first class practice before the Test, has anyone noticed how much T20 and how little first class cricket India’s stars play? #ENGvIND

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

Very much enjoying English comms explaining how their domestic set up sucks, after they’ve decided to mirror the train wreck of a set up we’ve got here in Australia. #ENGvIND

[Isabelle Westbury @izzywestbury]

Somebody up above is onside:

schedule the #WTCfinal to conflict with the women's #ENGvIND Test, publicise the men's to the nth degree...

...then let the heavens unleash, while in Brizzle there's no drizzle.

Eyeballs on the women & Brunt producing. Beautiful scenes.

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

Is there anything more cricket than the #WTCFinal being rained out?

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

Could you imagine @FoxCricket or @7Cricket having a detailed conversation about cricket analytics like @SkyCricket just had? Really enjoyable.

[Daniel Brettig 🏏 @danbrettig]

Really is incredible that an Aust team with the bowling attack it has and one of the world's 3-4 greatest ever batters is just a midtable side #ENGvNZ

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

This Test cricket is OK. Why doesn’t Australia play more often?

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

Fuck I am excited about this! Can’t wait to take my girls.

[Cricket Australia @CricketAus]

The historic Test match will be the first between the Australian and Indian women’s teams in 15 years, and the series will mark the first time the two sides have met since the record-breaking T20 World Cup final at the MCG in 2020!

@RenegadeDugongs @pythagoNRL @theSportress 5m offside is the only thing that can save league now.

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

@RenegadeDugongs @pythagoNRL @theSportress Kind of missed 2020. Glad I missed the circle jerk.

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

Also, if I was Lyon I’d be backing out of the room on this one.

[Shahzad for Origin @DefensiveCentre]

The “how dare you question our integrity” opening to this statement is pretty defensive.

[cricket.com.au @cricketcomau]

JUST IN: Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitch Starc and Nathan Lyon have issued a joint statement following recent reports regarding the 2018 Newlands scandal.
