Tour Diary Day 7: 1/2 The Netherlands circa 6.000 cricketers in the whole country. We have 7 grass wickets. The players may get as little as a โ‚ฌ100 match fee & there are no contracts. For the 2nd time in less than 12 months, we've just beaten South Africa in a World Cup. #CWC23

I see that the @ICC still haven't bothered to find a copy of our national anthem, Wilhelmus. They just play the music, no lyrics. I think it's a disgrace. We know that the ICC don't want @KNCBcricket at the #CWC23 but treating us with contempt is a disgrace. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

Don't play enough Test cricket, you won't be very good at it. Don't play enough T20 cricket, you won't be very good at it. Don't play enough 50 over cricket, you won't be very good at it. Play lots of 16.4 over cricket that no one else plays in the world, who cares? #CWC23

Last game of #CWC23 for my beloved Nederland. Potentially the last ODI we will play against a full member nation for 4 years. If the ICC rankings fail us then maybe 8 years or possibly never again if the format dies. Tune into @guerillacricket to listen to me rant from over 11

Tour Diary Day 18: 1/2 "You [The Netherlands] don't deserve to be at this world cup" said an Indian supporter to us early on. He disappeared in the 2nd innings. This was a magnificent victory after getting clobbered by The Aussies. We refuse to just sit in 10th place. #CWC23

If you're going to trial out a stop clock in cricket, do it in Test cricket. That's the only format where overs are actually lost. Doing it in ODIs when the 50 overs get bowled regardless, seems a bit pointless.

Tour Diary Day 2: 2/2 Loving Kashmir so far. Friendly, cricket loving people who support @TheRealPCB & not India at #CWC23 Stunning gardens, lake, mountains & sunset. My very kind hosts have filled my belly with tasty food & after only 19,5 hours in the country, I need sleep!

I drove from Amsterdam to Malaga to see @KNCBcricket A team win the @EuropeanCricket T10 final. Massively proud of the Dutch team. A few carrying injuries but they hobbled their way to victory against @ECB_cricket Party hard boys!

Tour Diary Day 16: I'm not very good at this social media thing. I take everything personally/literally which is a trait of ASD. When I'm abused online because I'm a white European or coz I have ASD, I'm not very good at coping with it. Cue lots of snowflake comments. Sad. #CWC23

Tour Diary Day 4: The weather was a bit rubbish today but I still went for a walk around Nishat Gardens. Again frustrated by the litter especially as there were staff picking up leaves but not the plastic! Back to watch #INDvPAK which was a bit of a damp squib. #CWC23 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

Tour Diary Day 6: After 4 days in Kashmir when I saw just 1 other white person, onto Delhi where there are a few more! Flight cancelled to Dharamshala so after 2 hours, rebooked for 06:40 tomorrow & I have a bed to sleep in, which is a bonus. No foto's today so here is a cat.

If you're wondering why I haven't been tweeting about @KNCBcricket extraordinary 1 run victory v @cricketireland it's because I had the huge privilege of scoring the game live for @ESPNcricinfo I'm truly thankful to you lovely guys for giving me the gig. I'll be better on Friday!

I'm sure the timed out has been all over here. They're is no provision for equipment failure or anything else which may delay the batsman but not the match. Fairly clear cut to me but cue the responses about the spirit of cricket. Yawn. # #TimedOut #BangvSL #CWC23

Tour Diary Day 17 1/2: I have gone 5* for my last 3 nights in India booking @OberoiHotels in Kolkata. It's costing me more than the rest of my trip's accommodation put together! Sadly no special treatment (not that I deserve it) like The Renaissance in Lucknow. #Horns #Noise
