- Reposted by Dan LiebkeWhat shall we do with the drunken captain of the HMS McCullum? Chuck him in the long boat ’til he’s sober? Or just leave him alone to pursue a T20 World Cup win? www.kingcricket.co.uk/what-shall-w...
- A piece of advice to the Australian U19 team. Put fielders where this England dude keeps hitting them. #U19WorldCup 🏏
- Great to see Australia coming into this World Cup campaign in their traditional fashion - namely, by playing like utterly clueless trenchcoats in the preceding series. Another trophy incoming. #PAKvAUS #T20WorldCup 🏏
- Reposted by Dan LiebkeLoving the book “The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments” by @liebcricket.com and @kingcricket.co.uk! The only slightly annoying thing is finding out that Pat Cummins is funny in addition to being great at literally everything else. Greedy sod.
- Late to this, but congratulations once again to the only team that takes the Big Bash seriously for winning the Big Bash. #BBL15 🏏
- Reposted by Dan LiebkeOnly a couple of weeks late publishing this.
- I have never seen Steve Smith switch hit successfully. #BBL15 🏏
- They’re doing it! #BBL15 🏏
- As always, keep bowling wides so you don’t get to five overs before the rain comes #BBL15 🏏

- Magnificent batting display from Pink Sydney culminating in that Abbott run out. #BBL15 🏏
- Starc to win it from here now, please. #BBL15 🏏
- Left stranded. #BBL15 🏏
- Good, unbiased review. I overheard someone on a tram the other day saying the book was evocative of Lou Reed! Or perhaps they said it was a provocative loo read. Either way, worth purchasing.
- Book review: The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments by Dan Liebke and Alex Bowden, foreword by Pat Cummins Great book, apparently www.kingcricket.co.uk/book-review-...
- “He is in the form of his life!” says Isa Guha about Steve Smith. And the funny thing is he’s not even close. #BBL15 🏏
- A fun chat with Adit about the potential future (re)enshittification of the Australian men’s cricket team.
- Today's ep talks about the 2025-26 #Ashes! (kind of) @liebcricket.com discusses how the current Aus men's team has a claim to being great without being the greatest, and why some of the Aus cricketing public is resistant to that idea. open.spotify.com/episode/02Dy... youtu.be/7I17Ny4jazA?...

- Red Melbourne introducing the Alex Carey-Marnus Labuschagne tackle catch from the Tests to the Big Bash. Didn’t hang onto it - a fatal flaw - but a good start to this exciting new game mechanic. #BBL15 🏏
- No paywall on this one. Because we're done. Thanks for reading along throughout the series (if applicable). I'll do another piece or two and then call it a day, Ashes-wise. #Ashes 🏏

- Alex Carey should have been player of the series for not completing a third run before the match-winning shot hit the rope, thereby earning himself an extra career run. Pro. #Ashes 🏏
- Good puppy. #Ashes 🏏
- Stokes hobbling towards the run out celebration is good material. #Ashes 🏏
- What on Earth is he doing out there? #Ashes 🏏
- More clumsy hands from England. #Ashes 🏏
- Ordinarily, there’d be a smidgen of concern three wickets down - not much, but a smidgen. However, Australia have selected approximately 30-50 batters for this Test. #Ashes 🏏
- Khawaja trying to trick Stokes into tearing a fresh groin. #Ashes 🏏
- A proper way to bow out. #Ashes 🏏
- Shoaib Bashir might have been threatening on this pitch. (He wouldn’t have been.) #Ashes 🏏
- Very sad that Potts wasn’t given the opportunity to break the Gilbert Jessop record with the ball. #Ashes 🏏
- Snicko (on death bed, murmuring): I don’t know. I just… don’t know. (dies) #Ashes 🏏
