Hey @Springboks you've not only alienated everyone who saw ticket pricing upfront & flinched. But bringing cheaper tickets to market later, you made early purchasers feel like idiots. Dynamic pricing works the other way! Yes you've got our support but just treat us better #rgr

It is so true. I’m expecting a big backlash whatever the result as they have had the seas parted for them to come to the semifinals

Hey @sanlam I’ve spend almost 6 hours on hold in trying to get resolve in preserving a provident fund. Saying ‘experiencing high call volumes’ is an excuse for not employing enough people to serve your base. Be better!!

Hey @MWEBTweets what is going on with email these days. Have you removed all spam filters, as it’s eight spam for one mail so I’m spending most of my life deleting. It’s not even clever spam/phishing it’s blatant. Be better!

If the Groundsman hoped to replicate last years wicket, why leave 10mm of grass on tracks vs last year’s 7mm? It’s in the format’s name, Test cricket and 3 day 4 innings cricket isn’t good for business #Ashes2025

If South African presented a pitch like the one being played on at Eden Gardens, we would have demerit points…

The commentators are being paid by ICC so they won’t speak the truth but this track is a shocker and outfield like treacle. SA’s path will be hard with three games here and if RR comes into it, we’ll be in trouble. #t20cwc

After last week’s semi-final, you don’t want to miss out on the Final at the club.

Absolute shocker. Everyone is standing for the anthem and they roll out the dignitaries. #Springboks

Surely the ICC must ask some serious questions about that ‘test’wicket? I’m sorry but 34 wickets in 143 overs isn’t a test. This wicket made a farce of the game. Maybe the Groundsman was looking to get an extra Big Bash game? Inexplicable!!

Really looked forward to Super Saturday, but the co-host? It is a sport not a variety show and she’s so loud early on a Saturday morning.
