A pitch in sunny June 2025 and a rainy/cloudy September 2026 are two very different things!
I live in edgbaston and attended last years test. Sadly couldnt go this year due to work commitments.

Went to the Salvadore Dali museum today. Who knew it’d be only the second most surreal thing I saw today.
#EngvInd Are big scores in T20 back in fashion and not boring anymore?
They must be… now that Eng is likely to be roaring towards 250 at the rose bowl.

Jarrod and Joy both right on the money here, though I would say Bish is far from the worst offender here, and giving credit on comms is indeed hard to do.
All too often see big print journalists, podcasters, vloggers appropriate work without credit, which is way less excusable.

Always felt very deeply about acknowledging the distinction between those running Indian cricket & the millions who derive pure joy from seeing their Indian team win #T20WorldCup

Average 1st inns score for this tournament (52 matches*) = 178.9
- 5.7% above 200
- 6.2% below 160
Leaving 88% within an “acceptable score” range.
(* 2 abandoned)

One day is today...
with the African derby on Sunday at the #T20WorldCup, it's a good time to look the relationship between South Africa and Zimbabwe - and to tell a little bit of my own story.

The irony of Rob Hatch on @cricketontnt criticising snicko sound/spike not matching the visuals in the Weatherald CBW review
#ashes
Crawley Ashes so far 120 runs after four attempts. Avg 30.
He has performed to what his pre-Ashes stats would predict.
#Ashes
#ENGvIND 2-2 is a fair result. Eng (& fans) won’t view it that way due to:
- Home series for Eng
- 5 tosses won
- new Ind captain in Gill
- new look Ind batting without Rohit & Kohli
-Bumrah not fully fit & Pant missed a test too.
“Bazball with brains” should have continued.

One player has gone unnoticed in the shenanigans at the end of Old Trafford test.
Root was not seen or heard making any crass comments. He bowled as he normally would at the end & behaved impeccably. Absolute class! 👏#Livinglegend @SkyCricket @bbctms @Cricket_TS
#ENGvIND the many apologists for the Eng team in cricket media are strangely silent on the Oval groundsman vs GG bust up. No snide internal jokes being exchanged publicly on X like usual.
Looks as though they know something that puts the groundsman in a bad light….

And everyone lost their minds over it...

Very lucky indeed that we didn't all spend the previous two days hailing individual milestones and achievements, or this might sound like a right salty load of #rATTled guff.
"This is a bit of a farcical end to what's been a brilliant Test match. The game is more important than individuals."
Were India right not to choose to shake hands and end the game?

Big England supporter obviously . but this evening's shenanigans exhibits nicely why we are the most disliked team in world cricket #ENGvIND

I like Ben stokes as a cricketer & @Vitu_E as a writer. However, the many & constant fawning, superlative pieces like this one are embarrassing for the cricinfo brand. espncricinfo.com/story/an-un…
