@ThomasLMM @GeelongCats Is this a washing-related tweet?

Someone sneak into the English change rooms and press the button that lowers the clouds #AUSvENG #Ashes

Pleased to have the 4 slips mentioned. Proper gully seemed to go out of vogue several years ago. Tend to set up as a 4.5 slip now. Interested to know whether there is hard data behind that or just preference.

@PaulAmy375 No idea what the story’s about but how’s the nickname @ThomasLMM ?!

@brettmurphy147 If you jumped on half volleys like you jumped on this one you would have struck at 90! All over it. Nice work.

Nice of the MCC to let The Ritchie’s into the Members’ Pavilion.

Does my memory fail me or does Australia have a better record than England in head to head tests at FortResSs EdGbASton this century?

Travis Head looks more and more like Warwick Todd every day.

@dhwood35 Show off. Enjoy!

Why are we still calculating batters’ strike rates per hundred balls? Do it as rpo or per 120 balls for T20 and save the rest of us doing the maths.

If I hear that ONE bowler in Melbourne has asked their teammates “dOeS aNYone HaVe a TowEl TO DRy ThE BaLL?” 5 minutes before the start of play today I will go off my lemon spread! FUCKING COME PREPARED!! #5Ps #oldblokerant #gocricket

@pjmacaulay Win toss bowl

You know you’re having a shit one when the Google satellite is capturing your dismissal. Chin up to this person 🙁

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

I understand why a consistent process is helps avoid error, but it would save us all a lot of time if the video review went to the obvious issue first. If it pitches a foot outside leg let’s not spend 2 minutes working out whether the batter got an edge #BBL #cricket

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

@jackrhodes24 Surely.

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

So if the Dooley LBW shout was last ball of game, 2 to win, given and overturned it’s a dot ball and game over? Even though they would have run 2 leg byes? Doesn’t seem right. Am I missing something? #BBL12

If you’re running with a two piece rock on your cricket themed ad you’ve already lost me.

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

@MHatzoglou She's certainly in a rich vein of form.

After this extended pre-season I am officially seeing raindrops like watermelons #cricket

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

@scott_tutton @MyCricketAus That’s enough. Shut down the system. Back to pen, paper, abacuses and zero accountability.

[Mark Simpson @simmodross]

If by 'stats duplication' you mean my batting average has doubled, feel free to take your time @MyCricketAus
