“Nobody understands cricket. To understand cricket you gotta know what a crumpet is”.

Raphael, from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, upon being assaulted by a mystery attacker with a cricket bat.

The jingoism on display during the Asia Cup has been revolting.

If you loathe the opposition XI before a single ball is bowled, are you here to compete - or just to hate?

Sport thrives on rivalry, not on hate.

Previously undocumented aspect of #Bazball

Call of play to prevent risking injury to bowlers.

Emma Raducanu can be both sublime and dispiriting in a heartbeat.

On current evidence, India should bat Prasidh at number 8️⃣

[The Cricketing Life @lifecricketing]

Shardul Thakur needs to pick up 8-40 in the fourth innings to justify his place in this XI.
So no pressure 💆🏽‍♂️

It’s going to be a long summer for Bumrah!

[Adam Sutherland @AdamSants_]

Stokes is a superb onfield tactician but gets too many big strategic calls wrong to be considered an elite captain. Wellington follow on, Edgbaston declaration, toss today. You'd want him leading a platoon to storm a bunker, but you probably wouldn't let him near planning D-Day.

[The Cricketing Life @lifecricketing]

I’ll always remember Virat Kohli for those sublime, steely wrists. Not quite the Renaissance elegance of an Azhar or a VVS.
Kohli’s wrists were something else entirely. More Art Deco than classical- bold, streamlined, and unmistakably modern.

Thank you!

Well done lads, well lead skip!

Unfortunately, India vs Pakistan now feels like the tenth sequel of a once-blockbuster movie franchise!

What passes off as ‘banter’ by some elements of the Aussie press is actually rude laddish behaviour.

Good on Novak to take a stand on this.

Nitish Reddy will captain India one day.

Not now, not soon. When the time is right.

Always had a lot of time for @isaguha as a broadcaster, right from the time she was part of the @ITV crew for the IPL.

But, what was she thinking today with that MVP comment? 🤯
