Things I like - cricket, politics, food, sci-fi. Things I hate - Trump, Brexit, Piers Morgan, white supremacists, cottage cheese. Former Brit, now in NZ

Damn, Chippy is coming in HOT 🔥

Regarding the small print, can you trade mark a colour?

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

People often talk about best players never to play for England. @BrooksyFerret is definitely in that group.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

If this is the end for @BrooksyFerret it's been a fantastic career. Been a fan since day 1 at @NorthantsCCC. In another era he could have played for England. Hard to argue with Jimmy & Broad, but he'd never have let anyone down. Should have been a Lions regular at least.

The Burj Al Arab, the world's tallest building, took 5.5 years to build. The Farmers building, or Elizabeth Towers, in Tauranga, is closing in on 5 years in November.

Seriously @onenzofficial - that's now four identical emails today so far. Please stop!

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

Anyone else getting spammed by @onenzofficial who seem determined to give me their update multiple times over several hours?

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

Done well to bring him back with the prospect of division 2 cricket next year.

Eh?

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

I wonder how many cricketers have hit their last ever ball in Test cricket for 6.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

@Closey25 Unbelievably, I'm not sure I have any.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

Stuart Broad has so much to be proud of in his career, but the record books won't show his greatest achievement. Being the funniest cricketer to have ever lived. Can't see that record being broken either.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

@danielchapman86 Amongst the greatest on field moments in Ashes history. Yes, including Botham and Freddie.

@AzeemRafiq30 His name is Phillip Ellis. Long been a troll giving Northants a bad name with his "voice of the people" self-importance.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

A very touching tribute from @oldmanradd to one of Northants' (and county cricket's) greatest servants.

[Northamptonshire Steelbacks @NorthantsCCC]

It is with incredibly heavy hearts we share the news that our friend and Northamptonshire legend Tony Kingston B.E.M. has passed away.

Rest in peace, Kingo. ❤️

@danjadz_ Mate, sadly I don't think you're far off getting in the Northants team at the moment! Loving the content.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

@GeorgeDobell1 You mentioned on the latest Ask George about the old free to air issue. If you weren't aware, the Ashes is free in NZ now, and the amount of discussion I'm having and interest from Kiwis about the matches we're watching is incredible for an overnight series

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

This newly galvanised England is like England from last week, only slower.

Can't be a 4 according to Starc, the ball was in Stokes' hand so he must have been in complete control.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

@danielchapman86 Need to win the last one and pretend everything is fine so it's like proper retro 90s Ashes.

[Ian Ashworth @ianashworth]

This is all getting quite strange. Australians seem to be whinging about the English whinging about the stumping, having spent the previous day whinging about how unfair it was that Starc wasn't allowed to dig a hole in the ground with the ball.
