@WG_RumblePants Sure, Rumble, but when the first ball of a test match bounces twice on the way to the keeper. The phrase 'you only had one job' comes to mind.

@bbctms Have you noticed Tuffers is turning into Grouty from Porridge?

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@bbctms I'm happy listening to Vic. Which other summariser is going to use the word spinnaker? Book him for the rest of the summer.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@tmsproducer @BBCSounds And Vic Marks is back. Yaaass! Bit of quality.

@BBCr4today you never see Akehurst in the same room as Dennis Taylor.

David Miliband spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport.

@glurcher @NickFriend1 'Excessive turn' defined as 'too much spin for batters developed playing in pyjamas on roads to handle with inferior technique'. Can't wait for next tour to the sub-continent.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@TomK03_ @NickFriend1 It's a batter's game.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@WG_RumblePants I think Critchley plays for Essex?

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@WG_RumblePants What's the matter with a hard-fought draw? What's more soulless than one of those one-sided T20s where the commentators insist on telling us when a side needs 80 from 30 balls with 8 down 'there's all to play for' when only one result is possible?

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@BBCSport Thanks for the fantastic Champo coverage over the holiday weekend. Whatever Kevin Howells gets paid it's not enough.

@GeorgeDobell1 Who's this keeper who bats well with the tail? Promising but then saw his strike rate was only 64.32, what a joker.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@Blakes7Diary Bravo sir!

'But it was like a man who had lost his legs to a crocodile on Monday winning a pair of slippers on Thursday. Nice. But not terribly useful.' @GeorgeDobell1 I'm still cleaning the tea off my keyboard.

West Ham must be glad they got shot of David Moyes. What a deadleg he was.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@hburridge8 The batters are the rockstars. The bowlers are treated like roadies.

Already got my £29.99 year's worth with this. 🤣😍

'But the Titanic's maiden voyage started pretty well, too. It departed on time. It was making good speed. The food, apparently, was terrific. All anyone remembers of that journey is the bit with the iceberg'. - @GeorgeDobell1

@cameronponsonby Ooof.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@YahoooverCC not a suitable preparation for tests. Need to play two innings of 40 overs over two days.

[Eric Harrison @ekharrison]

@henrymoeranBBC Time to drop Moeen.
