@AshesVictory @theseaside100 Thanks Kev. Not involved as you know any more but appreciate the support and voice of reason on this one.

@AtTheRaces @arenaracingco @Southwell_Races Credit where it is due. Takes a lot of stick but deserves all the praise today. Box office.

It is unforgivable what politicians have done to this country. They are backing people into a corner and it will not end well.

People will rise up and when they do, they will be severely punished and their lives further ruined.

This is all on the political elite. It is shameful.

It makes me angry, sad and desperately worried for the future😔

@RuaTrindade So bad that it’s worth keeping on to see what utter shite they do next.

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

The First test the Barmy Army chant started at… right decision from Athers.

[Cricketopia @CricketopiaCom]

None of Graham Hick’s six Test hundreds were as famous as the one he never made.

On 98 in the Sydney Ashes Test of 1995, Hick was stranded when Mike Atherton declared. With only a couple of minutes left before the 3pm deadline, Hick inexplicably blocked out the final three balls of a Damien Fleming over.

Atherton lost patience and declared ungenerously. Hick never went on to score an Ashes hundred, and it was said he didn’t speak to England coach Keith Fletcher for a month afterwards.

@JohnSunCricket Disgraceful decision and the ECB are just as culpable in agreeing to it. May as well organise have a back up T20 when it finishes in 3 days to celebrate the occasion. Clowns.

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@Harry05Derham @RacingHOTSR Devastated for you and the team. Was at Kempton and watched you rush to get to your stricken horse , that’s not always the case with trainers and I respect you enormously for doing so.

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@tweetSP0RT @bbctms Unlikely with 2 million followers and still growing at pace!!

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

Great interview Michael, congratulations on the Richies journey. You will be missed by all your mates in the Barmy Army - we’ve had great fun together.

[Test Match Special @bbctms]

Meet the Richies 🎤

A staple at Australian cricket grounds for 15 years, Day 2 at the SCG will be the final outing for the famous group of fans who dress up as the legendary Richie Benaud.

@CollingsBerry @JohnWathenBerry Outstanding obituary.

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@UpTheOrder @TheBarmyArmy Not a ringer as Archie played for us in the Bashes on the 17/18 tour at Middle Park. We spot talent early at the Barmy Army!!

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@stephenbrenkley Totally agree, let’s just write off 150 years of history and signal the last rites for the great game of test cricket.

@racingblogger @JOEdotie @thepaddockuk @olibellracing @RishiPersad1 @nickluck Great interview. For context, the Barmy Army did this for cricket in Australia 30 years ago and our content creation reaches 2million with a global brand so something for you to aspire to. The parallels are uncanny with the lack of support at home - we’ve been trying for 30 yrs!

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@itvracing What a great interview, incredible people.

[David Peacock @barmygeneral]

@JohnWathenBerry @NewcastleRaces @GinaMangan7 Brilliant! Followed Merrijig all year and made up to see he has won. Now in Perth for my 8th Ashes campaign and the win buys a few drinks later ltoday!! Had to take SP as backed before I flew over. Well done to all at BHP!
