Friends: You like test cricket right? Why it’s so boring?
Me at 12:30am bloodshot eyes twitching and shaking with a caffeine high unable to sleep literally crying at England collapsing before my eyes for the thousandth time
Me: Yeh it’s fun and relaxing
The funniest thing to come from today is by far David Warner finding out SRH has blocked him on all socials because he wanted to celebrate Travis Head and then airing that dirty laundry for us to see
My dad just said he would have Roy open with Bairstow in test cricket. Possibly the worst take I’ve ever heard. Also saying “I’m entitled to my opinion” does not make it a good one 😭😭😭
To anyone else who was amazed here is a tiny clip of 80 year old Enid Bakewell bossing the crease! Alas I don’t have her cheeky edge to 3rd man
I can confirm I was at the other end, playing with much less fluidity

(ps sound on for a good WAIT)
England's men are scheduled to play a Test match on 24% of the days in 2024. If you are awake, at any given moment next year, there is about a 9% chance England's men should be on-field playing a Test match
I’m seeing a couple of people talking about this being an embarrassing failure if we lose??? Guys Baz and Stokes have done the impossible and made one of the deadest pitches ever genuinely exciting. So what if we lose at least we haven’t been bored for 5 days straight
Just got this in the post 😍 just want to say massive thanks to
@englandcricket
and everyone who signed the shirt, can confirm you are all inspirational! I can’t wait to watch the Test next week!!!
People are like “ohhh my god England are in crisis what do we do?!?!”
Bestie we’ve been in crisis for years, we would have be crushed in the 2019 ashes at home if it weren’t for Ben Stokes being a freak and the Aussies getting plastered after the 4th test
Maybe a result of the dwindling numbers in England’s coaching staff, but Joe Root seems to have taken on some coaching duties at the SCG, even dishing out some throwdowns, three days out from the fourth

Test
In honour of two legends being retired please see the most awkward photo I have ever taken while these two were chilling playing golf and England were getting a battering in the WIndies and I was mid dissertation break down
Ok this is where I’m at for the WC at this point in time
1. Bairstow
2. Malan
3. Root
4. Brook
5. Buttler
6. Jacks/Ali
7. S. Curran
8. Woakes
9. Wood
10. Rashid

My boss is a big cricket fan and is convinced we’re going to lose and is anti Bazball and prefer the draw and I’m very pro Bazball so please England don’t lose for me so I can be right
So I’m relatively new to loving cricket, and I’ve never watched the county champs but I wanna watch more of it this year. I’m not from a major county so I don’t really know who is good to support, atm I follow the English players. So please tell me which team to support and why
I’ve reached a new low. In a dynamic strategy to convince my friends who don’t love cricket to go watch cricket with me I spent 30mins creating a PowerPoint presentation explaining the games I want to see, price location teams etc, so they can pick from it like a drop down menu
One of my favourite parts of cricket Twitter is watching cricket Twitter watch other sports and try and turn it into cricket metaphors. To those of you who do this, I salute you!
I really wish we would play more cricket against Scotland and Ireland, both mens and womens. I’d kill for like a 3 way series? Multilateral or not idk I just want to see it more
She’s here and she’s absolutely stunning!!!!
I’ve finally got my first bat!!!! She’s from a local maker and it’s beautiful! I’m so excited for the friendly on Sunday! I can’t thank Garrard enough!
Funny how men accept there is misogyny in cricket and happily talk about it, but when young women point out their problematic behaviours which contribute to misogyny in the system which they've been part of for literal years it's all 'nope no problem here at allll couldn't be me'
