Malcolm Tucker meets Bob Willis

[Lancashire County Cricket Members Group @LancsCCMG]

Four of the five young Lancashire cricketers signed up by Hundred clubs (Tom Hartley, Tom Aspinwall, Mitch Stanley and Rocky Flintoff) were not selected to play in the first round of the Hundred matches.

Their chances of playing much cricket during August look slim, which hardly helps their development.

Instead of reducing cricket to address concerns about overworked players due to the county championship being compressed into the fringes of the season, the ECB and county bosses need to come up with practical solutions to a problem that is solely of their own making.

Got out just before tea. Inexcusable.

Jamie Smith departs after a blazing knock 💥

England are leading by 202 runs at the tea break on third day.

England look like they’re on course to lose here. England not taken this game seriously. They’ve treated it like the last day of school. Too desperate to play golf….

Get on with the day job.

3 yrs ago today Shane Warne said this iconic line

"India, the powerhouse of world cricket & they've got the biggest superstar on the planet in Virat Kohli...Long live Test cricket while we have Virat Kohli, Please keep playing for a long, long time Virat"

[Charlie Reynolds @cwjreynolds]

Ironic given all the fuss about slow over rates and fans missing out on the full 90 overs in a day that now nobody is here England are ahead of the over rate

[EnglandCricketAnalyst @EngCricAnalysis]

Ollie Pope barely averages more than Chris Woakes (average 34.64 vs average 27.84). Should he really be Vice Captain and is he actually worth the extra 7 runs a game?

A Lord's morning is just a bit different...

Dumbest tournament rules ever.

Great to meet @PikiIrene to understand more about the Cypriot constitution and political system and to share how the UK coordinates decision-making and policy implementation through the @cabinetofficeuk @UKinCyprus @CyprusMFA

[MIKE WALTERS @MikeWaltersMGM]

Well done @ECB_cricket - you clear the calendar month of August for a form of cricket no other nation plays, relegate your 50-over tournament to a reserve cup… and 6 weeks later, as World Cup holders, your 50-over team is embarrassed by Afghanistan. Not surprised, just appalled.

[Marylebone Cricket Club @MCCOfficial]

MCC is deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Honorary Life Member and World Cricket committee member, Shane Warne.

Shane was one of the finest cricketers ever to have played the game.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

One of the greatest of all-time.

A legend. A genius.

You changed Cricket.

RIP Shane Warne ❤️

@BecksJayne55 Don’t mention the hundred(th)!!!

[Being Outside Cricket @OutsideCricket]

Excitement about #TheHundred is sweeping across India as players, media and fans all demand that the IPL license the format from the ECB.

Oh wait, no it isn't. Our mistake.

[EnglandCricketAnalyst @EngCricAnalysis]

Watched the hundred with genuine open mind. It just felt a bit weird. On the one hand, it was cricket. On the other, I would rather have watched a T20.

[Andrew Bloxham @Andrew_Bloxham]

@tickerscricket Cricket is currently sat there nodding smugly. Taking lunch 10 minutes after a 2 hour rain delay suddenly looks logical.

[EnglandCricketAnalyst @EngCricAnalysis]

Name to watch.

Lol, the irony of Alex Hales smashing it and Eoin Morgan simultaneously insisting Hales' character ain't up-to-scratch for Eng while he fails to even acknowledge his own past conduct is, well, quite funny. #Blast21

[EnglandCricketAnalyst @EngCricAnalysis]

I'm sure he'll keep his place given that the Sky Commentary team like him.
