Samaritans hotline number at the end of this thoughtful and moving thread.
I felt silly and embarrassed and as nervous as hell when I phoned the Samaritans. Like I was making a prank call. I mean what did I have to moan about. No, I said to myself, It was just late at night and I was being silly, letting my imagination run away from me like it often did
Can anyone help a mate? Been a 'mare trying to get tickets. @daznccc do you still have any spares?
Anybody got any spare tickets for #SAvEng #2ndTest #Newlands #CapeTown 🙏

One of my favourite discoveries of 2019 is that there is a bar in my hometown that has a sign saying this: (As soon as this baby is out.....guess where I’m going. Thank you Sherlock’s on Baker Street!! #UTB )

Well that was a dull summer of cricket, will never attract new fans to the game, thank God we've got the 100 starting next season ... Said no one ever! #OpposeThe100

Really pleasing that the backlash to shoddy journalism increase donations to @RNLI Stupid faux outrage by lazy writers trying to stir up hatred.
In response to the @MailOnline & @thetimes:we are proud of our international work. Its saves (mostly kids') lives. And we haven't kept it secret - it's in our annual report, on our website and in the media. We spend just 2% of our expenditure on this work: rnli.info/KUfLBe

It's no surprise but still horrible to see the depths of gutter reporting @TheSun will stoop to and their pathetic attempts to justify this non news when challenged.

In a crowded field of rubbish sporting governing bodies the ECB is a champion. Unhealthy alliances, screwing over Durham, contempt for fans and killing cricket with the supremely stupid 100.
Worth remembering Ben Stokes is a product of Durham cricket. The same Durham cricket that got stuffed over by their own governing body and have never been quite the same since. I don't think it should be forgotten quite what an appalling decision that was and the ramifications

We do too Ben ... and don't worry, we will pay the fine for you.

Botham had Dilley and Stokes had Leach. Magnificent supporting roles. #miraclesofheadingley

Bet Paine will be wanting @Specsavers products too, so he can read the Reviews better 😂
We can confirm we will offer Jack Leach free glasses for life

Well I think that topped Cape Town 2016. Amazing knock Ben Stokes and a famous England victory. #stillcatchingbreath #testsarebest #Ashes

Unfortunately the flag hasn't been handed in anywhere I've tried but it's a bit like banging your head against a brick wall. #Gutted If anyone knows anyone who has it, you will be rewarded. xitter.cf/DutchBirdKate/status/9…
My flag went missing from The Gabba yesterday. Please can you RT as it's very personal & precious to me & I want it back. Thank you. @TheBarmyArmy @bbctms @norcrosscricket @Aggerscricket @GeorgeDobell1

"That the toughest sledging you've had Mark." Australian press "What? Today?" "Yes, from the players and the fans. The Gabba." "Do you know the North East of England?" "No." "Well I'll take you for a Sunday game in the North East League. You'll not ask me that again." 🏏🔴

Stokes is off the mark so @midgemitchell can officially have a wee
