And now the SL keeper’s been stung by a bee and the stretcher’s on its way out to collect him. Oh please!
some funny cricket in the last hour: a back stop SLvSAF; Bavuma walked after not nicking in the same test; Rashid given NO after being hit on the ankle in front of middle, and finally Short LBW for the Strikers after smashing it. @craig_chap29 @stevenduke72 @srellesw @Tonks105

Wonder what the Aussie cricketers of the pre WSC era think of this threat by AFL players? 3 months in England and wives were not welcome @srellesw @stevenduke72 @Tonks105
Nathan Buckley has issued a hub ultimatum to the AFL as players threaten to boycott the season if families aren't permitted for a 20-week stint. READ > bit.ly/35eWjh7

Not sure we’ll see a #BBL09 final in Sydney, but good luck to all those who get a drink out of this front @Pete_Karam @alisterbennett

Can the #BBL09 commentators please stop banging on about the pitch. It’s a slog fest which could be played on a rice paddy field @craig_chap29 @Tonks105 @WDSellers

Here’s an idea, how about the batsman dig in and get a start rather than blame the pitch. It’s about time the bowlers had a helping hand #BBL09 @stevenduke72 @craig_chap29 #6ers

Nervous Xmas lunch for the MCG curator this year #boxingdaytestinadelaide
JUST IN: The #SheffieldShield match at the MCG has been abandoned due to a dangerous pitch cricket.com.au/news/match-re…

Looks like the Boxing Day test is headed for Adelaide #MCG #debacle
BREAKING: Pitch deemed unsafe at the MCG with unpredictable bounce. Players leaving the field. Marsh and Stoinis both hit multiple times. @abcgrandstand

Or, to make things even more complex, go back to the back foot rule

Maybe if @phandscomb54 had made a score, rather than a cheap 30 off the back foot behind point on a road at St Kilda he would have been a little more positive
Vic captain Peter Handscomb says today’s events at the Junction Oval were not a good reflection on the #SheffieldShield @abcgrandstand

Spot on @craig_chap29 @benhook1 , listening to @abcgrandstand late in the day and they were inferring that the @WestEndRedbacks weren’t making a game of it. Scored at 5 an over for a lot of the day
Replying to @benhook1
Well said @benhook1 Hooky. SA declare and there really can only be one winner. Arrogant VIC’s probably thought they would run through SA. Perhaps the ground staff need to cop some heat.

AFL 2019 run & won + Cricket yet to get going = we become experts at #NRLGrandFinal and the #springcarnival. #NRLGrandFinal nail the pre-game entertainment

Someone said during the week that Marlion Pickett played a bit like @bunji_XXIII , I can see that #AFLGF

yes would be sad Roo, easy to say never play unfit players in a GF, except when he’s your leader and best defender #AFLGrandFinal
Just watched the Phil Davis fitness test. Looks to me like he could be out. Hope I’m wrong. Very sad if that is the case
