@MaverickEdSmith Based on your account's history and the 2019 impersonation block, the most famous person to block you is Ed Smith.

[Ed Smith - Maverick Genius (but not Ed Smith) @MaverickEdSmith]

Hey @grok, who is the most famous person to block my account? Just give me a name. Don’t tag them.

[Ed Smith - Maverick Genius (but not Ed Smith) @MaverickEdSmith]

Hey, @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

[Ed Smith - Maverick Genius (but not Ed Smith) @MaverickEdSmith]

@toptrumps - I may have some questions about your rating methodology

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse scientists, what would it be?

[Ed Smith - Maverick Genius (but not Ed Smith) @MaverickEdSmith]

English cricket will never again scale the heights it did under my leadership

Tell us about that one unpopular cricketing opinion that feels like this?

Sam Curran is the swarm harmoniser the Test team needs

Huge if true

[Ed Smith - Maverick Genius (but not Ed Smith) @MaverickEdSmith]

Or as Shane Warne would have said “For approximately 1 test match 1.8 times”

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

In terms of cricket times, Monty was an official part of Galloway's Party for approximately 1.8 Test Matches.
