This series should mark the true blue arrival of Marco Jansen as a world-beater all-rounder. What an impact he’s had. No wonder he has become the No.1 bowler and all-rounder in Tests in the rankings 🔥
This series continues to give. Simon Harmer changes the game around with his double strike. Marnus Labuschagne (🤫) falls for a duck. If he isn’t shown the door after Cape Town Test, the joke would really be on George Bailey.
Cummins deciding to bowl in Cape Town has to be one of the worst decisions ever. Right up there with Nasser Hussain at the Gabba in the Ashes..

To try and understand the issue and whether there is a solution to it, @vroy38 sspoke to two senior statisticians: @mohanstatsman and @rgcricket
Do give it a read.

A triple ton on debut, a record-breaking run spree, the Fastest First-Class Triple Ton, a 606-run stand, a 400 -- all in Ranji Plate division, all in the last few years.
Records all but somehow they don't evoke any awe. What should one make of such records?

Abhishek Sharma has now reached a fifty 18 times in T20Is. Only one of them has taken more than 30 balls. The slowest has been 33.

Harry my friend, you deserve every bit of this award for your resilience, hard work and honesty with which you’ve carried yourself through all these years playing football at the top. Really happy for you. God bless you and your family. They must all be very proud of you as you would be of your own journey. My best wishes always. Congratulations 👏❤️ @HKane

Auqib Nabi 🔥 This is what he can do when there’s something there for the pacers in the pitch. Should have been there in the Test squad..

Harry Kane going from football’s most famous trophyless player to a Ballon d’Or winner might be the greatest example of why changing employers can improve your life.

I hate man united as much as the next person but one thing you can’t deny is that it’s a fanbase who know what they are watching and this video is absolutely brilliant
Oh no. That looks like a howler from the umpire. Devdutt Padikkal has to walk back on 199. He lets the umpire know that there was daylight between the bat and ball as he is given caught behind.
What records should be taken with a pinch of salt? Can everything be viewed through the same lens? Spoke to @rgcricket and @mohanstatsman regarding what they see of the latest problem
Read perhaps? #RanjiTrophy

Says a lot that Carrick is appreciated by the crowd and the players are booed out of the building. Right sequence of events though
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Manchester United's players were in total SHOCK as they were booed off from the pitch.

🚨 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The ENTIRE Old Trafford is singing together: "SELL UNITED, AND F*CK OFF HOME!" towards The Glazers.
It's been going on for almost 10 minutes now.
OLD TRAFFORD IS MAKING A HUGE STATEMENT, THEY ARE FURIOUS! 🚨
And Shadab Khan pulls off a heist. Pakistan were 154/9 and they have chased 242 with one wicket in hand. Shadab stays unbeaten on 113. One of the better innings you will see. England all but out of the Tri-Series
ODI Tri-series will always remain box office. Quite sad that India don’t play them anymore. Shadab lost all hope, just took the review just for the sake of it. Almost tears in his eyes, and the replay shows an inside edge. The thriller in Lahore continues. What drama #PAKvENG
