RIP Bob 😔😔😔
The world of rugby has lost a great character with the passing this morning of former @BristolBears & England no. 8 Bob Hesford. Nothing but respect and thanks for great memories. RIP “Shirley”

England’s slip catching has been average for a while. It needs to get better if they are to turn this series around
A piece on what it takes to be a good slipper with input from @BallMartyn, the best @jackrussellart says he played with #Ashes cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/12…
Nice to see you returning home @snelly83 😀👍🏻👍🏻

Howth, Dublin. Absolutely disgusting, illegal behaviour.
My parents and my nieces were just there today.
This is no world where I want my beautiful young nieces and any other child to grow up in.
RT as much as possible as faces can be seen.
Congrats @Gloscricket on today’s fantastic win over @SomersetCCC. Great performances by all but especially @bobbybracey25!! I believe the last time we won at Taunton was 28years ago.....that might be the game I got a sneaky 8-42 😁😜👍🏻....great start to the season #winningsahabit

I’m a spring chicken in this one.....not 😁😂😂
Criminal as a spinner.......bizarrely I bowled thousands in the years of net practice without an umpire. Come the game situation and the umpire stood where I wanted him, take off point becomes an optical thing which means with exactly the same run up I was always behind the line!
@BallMartyn bowled his whole FC career 1988-2006 in red and white ball cricket without bowling a single no ball, this 16yr old Noor Ahmad has bowled 2 in two ov for @RenegadesBBL v @ScorchersBBL so far and several balls have been close too. Get your foot behind the line youngster
Kind words as always @a_thomas1958 😁😁👍🏻
Could not imagine @BallMartyn dropping an easy catch off his own bowling. The ground needs to open up for Mujeeb but good use of Xfactor by @HeatBBL removing a spinner for a batsman. Personally think Xfactor should be like for live from whole squad not 13.
