- New episode of Running Between the Wickets is out, featuring Graeme Smith. We chatted future of SA20, WTC, SA cricket and much more. And of course I couldn’t resist a little 🎣. 😅 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=cUfj... 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4SgK...
- I’m starting a new video series while I’m at the @SA20_League and I’d love for you to take a look. First up is Trent Boult from @MICapeTown and I took him by surprise with what I had in store for him. 😅 #ThenvsNow youtu.be/PfOwpAtBW5M?...
- Already seeing comments by people in cricket’s richest & most powerful countries criticising SA’s apparently “soft” route to the WTC Final. Like, inequity in international cricket is suddenly an issue but at the same time let’s ignore the inequity that led to this inequity. 🤷🏼♀️
- Have we been in third innings pickle theory territory here? I haven’t been able to decide. Maybe India have taken wickets too consistently. #AUSvIND
- After an extraordinary day of Test cricket at the MCG comes a bonkers T20 at the Mount. What on earth might happen at Centurion & Bulawayo? 🤯🏏
- Possible the most impressive achievement of Stokes and McCullum is that they’ve taken non-paying rental space in cricketing heads around the world. Bazball this, Bazball that, such-and-such-ball, can’t stop mentioning it. All without an England player in sight. #AUSvIND
- I dunno how you spend Boxing Day but I’ve been explaining fast leg theory and fielding restrictions to my mother. #AUSvIND
- Enjoying a rare bit of farm time before Christmas. So excited about plans for 2025, starting with a busy and fun January. Watch this space! 👀
- I’ll miss watching Ashwin in Test cricket. One of the game’s deepest thinkers and craftiest offspinning technicians. I’d love to see him in the Championship. And undoubtedly he’ll be a highly sought after pundit, if he chooses that route.
- Be honest. Would you have laughed if Siraj had done a Broad after switching the bails on Marnus?🙊 #AUSvIND
- There’s been a lot of talk about who will be the next gen ‘fab four’ but gosh there’s some exciting young bowlers emerging in Test cricket. I really, really like Will O’Rourke, for one. #NZvENG
- The Netherlands have been one of international cricket’s best expansion stories in recent years. This makes for some pretty grim reading and shows how tight things are outside FM countries. Terrific & typically forensic reporting from @bdjcricket.bsky.social. m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news...
- Omg, Tim Southee is going out swinging and it’s absolutely glorious. #NZvENG
