Really sad the #SAvAUS series will be ending tomorrow. I have thoroughly enjoyed the coverage on @abcsport

And so all that your distrust in humanity deepens, until you trust absolutely nobody. @sendmoneyhome

This is a very valid conversation. How accessible will the grounds be for people with disabilities? How accessible will the media centers be for people with disabilities? @cricketworldcup @ZimCricketv

I can just imagine the arrogance typically associated with the entire @bbctms commentary team when England posted 429. So very happy @OfficialSLC chased down the target and won.

Temba Bavuma has been nothing short of amazing!! Shot selection, strike rotation, technical defence, this innings has it all.

I have to say that was a thoroughly enjoyable interview.

It is amazing to think that today exactly 17 years ago I was blessed enough to board an aeroplane and travel to Bangladesh for the very first and unfortunately only time as I was part of the commentary team for the 5 ODI’s against Bangladesh. perhaps I will include that in one of my podcasts. It was an unbelievable experience which I will never ever forget and always be grateful for

Terribly sad news. Thinking of her family, friends team mates and colleagues
A minute of silence was observed before the start of today’s #NPLT20Blast matches in honour of the late Sarah Dambanevana, an umpire and former Zimbabwe international cricketer. #MHSRIP🕊️

An absolute pleasure listening to @abcsport @CorbinMiddlemas @NeilManthorp and the rest of the commentary team.

I have a story to tell you about this umpire. I met him in 2004, and gave him one of my prosthetic eyes. At first, he apparently looked very angry! Then he started to smile, and then he couldn’t stop laughing.
Happy Birthday Darrell Hair 78 Tests, 139 ODIs and 6 T20Is as an Umpire. - He called Murali and Grant Flower for throwing. - He was at the centre of a ball-tampering storm at the Oval when Pakistan forfeited a match for the first time in Test cricket's 129-year history.
