@andrewhdean Would you like a BlueSky invitation?

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@michelappleton Kallis, Sangakara, Botham ... Chris Harris, obviously...

@michelappleton (Oh snap, someone already made this point :) )

@michelappleton Hmm, Conway's tournament ended up feeling like a disappointment to me. His average is getting a big boost from his initial 152* against what turned out to be a poor England side. We really could have used some more significant contributions from him in other games.

@AdamKerrBell It was South Africa before but now it's India because I will never, ever want the Australian cricket team to want anything.

@AJinHD EeeeeeTHAAAAAN!

@elle_hunt At 75 pounds per centimetre, you definitely wouldn't want a Great Dane.

@shortflyslip At the same time we were never out of it so much that I gave up and went to bed. Might have been interesting if we didn't have to bat like it was a test match for the first 10 overs.

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@shortflyslip Did the umpire just...space out and forget what the rules were?

@eph__em__era MyNameIsByf is the way to go.

@Indooshan @michelappleton @BLACKCAPS Yes spotted this too, thought it apt that Michael appeared to be taking out his phone to tweet :D

@michelappleton Genuinely feels like with better fielding, Afghanistan would comfortably be in the semis. A great tournament for them still, but what might have been!

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@michelappleton (...oops, that accidentally sounds a bit conspiratorial. Merely mean they seem to be getting appreciably more movement than other sides, which I imagine is down to them being very skillful bowlers in home conditions.)

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@michelappleton Never goes well when our very good swing bowlers get basically no swing at all.

They need a friendly word with the Indian bowlers perhaps, because whatever they're doing in this department seems to be working.

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@PaulTassi In a small clan. Made friends there who I know only through the game. All pretty much been ride or die for the franchise through everything for a decade. Even done a lot to help some of us through very tough times. None of us now feel like playing. Utter, complete disaster.

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@eph__em__era Yeah, whenever you drill down into these study results about how "helmets technically make cycling *less* safe" the result is *actually* always "science finds that everyone is an idiot".

[Ben Allan @In_Increments]

@michelappleton Because I am a NZ cricket fan unfortunately this only makes me think: India are due.

@Sportsfreakconz Various shots of Jos Buttler's thousand-yard-stare are becoming iconic for the tournament.
