@itsmattchin Why did Jimmy Anderson go up the chimney in a Santa suit?
Because he loves a reverse sweep

@bbctms Always enjoyed @finnysteve summarising, not heard him doing commentary before...
In a shock development it turns out he is (still) strikingly comfortable, affable & knowledgeable
👏

@gloswomen A decent knock 👍

@spiescomedy @DMTWestEnd @mischiefcomedy This is eyewateringly funny 🕵️
Made it through to the interval so far - it was worth it even if I'm carried out before the end...

@Royal_Armouries We always enjoy the live combat demonstrations - it was great fun today with the two Davids. Close contest but probably call it a draw...

@PictureSporting Guess that that was one of the celeb games at the "Birtles Bowl" nr Macclesfield when he hosted players including @GeoffreyBoycott
I don't know if Sir Geoffrey got one of those jackets!
Ground is scrub on Google now but you'd get change from a million for 1 of 6 flats in the Hall

@henrymoeranBBC @GeoffLemonSport @bbctms Just me...?

@CountyChamp I believe umpires are trialling the four armed technique so they can speed the game along by signalling six while keeping two hands free to answer another request to check if the ball is out of shape

@TomasLAllen @tfid23 @bbctms ...but 19.5.2 about fielders being grounded refers to their final contact with the ground, before their ___first contact___ with the ball after it's bowled - first contact was from within the boundary, catch was his second contact so all good 👍

Makes you wonder

@PictureSporting @BumbleCricket 1972 apparently, couple of weeks before the start of the Gillette cup

@TailendersPod
People shouting "catch it" when the ball gets chipped up
If that hasn't already occurred to the fielder underneath it then they're probably playing the wrong game!!
