Boland now with more runs against him than wickets. Probably time to go to bed. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Why the cricket stadium so cold during the match between India and Australia?

Because there are too many fans!

😂 😂 😂

#Cricket #IndVsAus #funny

Channel Seven seem very convinced that by watching this cricket match I am therefore interested in all sports from AFL to soccer to motor car racing to horse racing to dancing with stars. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Why did the cricket pitch go to the doctor?

Because it was feeling a bit bowled over!
😂 😂 😂

Why did Ravindra Jadeja feel guilty after getting Carry out LBW?

Because he couldn't help but exclaim, "Jadeja rule the world!"

Why did the cricket ball took Lunch?

Because it needed a break from all the bowlers trying to knock its stumps out! 😂
#IndVsAus #Cricket #fun

Why did the Australian cricket team order extra pizza during the match against India?

Because they wanted more runs on the board, but all they got were deliveries!

I think my favourite quality of Hayden's commentary is his confidence in my abilities. "He runs between the wickets hard, as all Australians do." "He pulls the short ball well, as all Australians do." I hope someday I can reward his faith in me. #WTCFinal #Cricket

To be fair, Starc was about to edge one behind any moment. Took the tactical option of not giving the wicket to the bowler. Great mind games from the left arm quick. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Haydos unlucky there. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Rohit's fake T is a thrilling DRS innovation. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Alex Carey 'likes to manipulate field'. Gaslights some of them. Reverse psychologies others. Uses flattery on the rest. Versatile. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Bad puppy. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Hearing now that Green is tall. Will keep you posted via the hashtag #Greenisatallman #WTCFinal #Cricket

When are we going to have a conversation as a cricket nation about Travis Head's inability to convert 150s to 200s. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Is Haydos predicting a Smith double century 94 runs out? Good on him. #WTCFinal #Cricket

What a great shot from last night's (my time) cricket match in London showing the athleticism of Australian cricket player Travis Head.

When you watch the TV coverage, the high camera angle from front-on doesn't really show just how high the batters leap when taking on head-high, short-pitched deliveries. At the top right of the picture you can see the red leather ball with its lighter seam which has just flown past Travis Head at a speed of somewhere around 140 km/h (87 mph). #cricket #sport #ICCWTC #AUSvIND #photography #SportsPhotography #TravisHead #Australia #India

Curtly Ambrose is magnificent. I saw him and Courtly Walsh bowling for the West Indies against Ireland at Downpatrick. It was poetry in motion ☺️ Here's a 5-minute video of him destroying Australia!

#cricket #AUSvIND #INDvAUS

Watching Travis Head bat is thrilling and terrifying. I can see why having a team full of such lunatics must be so exhilarating for England fans. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Travis Head has never met a counter he didn’t want to attack. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Imagine if you were the cricketing idiot that Matt Hayden is imagining he's talking to. An honour in a way. #WTCFinal #Cricket

I can see the game from here! #Cricket 🏏

People arriving back for the afternoon session at the World Test Championship. #Cricket 🏏

Steve Smith likes solving problems. A bowler will come at him with Goldbach's conjecture and he'll cobble together a proof. A fielder might throw the Riemann hypothesis at him and he'll provide a counterexample. Fermat? Easy. Classic Smith. #WTCFinal #Cricket

"That's a Shami." #WTCFinal #Cricket

Alas, this impromptu Algonquin round table between Brayshaw, JL and somebody called the Trash Compactor (?) has come to an end. We soldier on regardless. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Unfortunately the inter-colonial cup is organised by the #ICC which means that the beer is undrinkable shit. And it’s a dreadfully slow over rate. But other than that it’s a nice day at the #cricket #WTCfinal #TheOval

Of course they're showing football in the lunch break. Forty minutes to fill. Can't possibly do it by talking about the sport you've flown to the other side of the planet to cover. #WTCFinal #Cricket

How many points do India need to lose to a slow over rate for South Africa to be subbed in halfway through the Test?#WTCFinal #Cricket

As if it wasn't bad enough that I have to suffer through ads for what C7 thinks are good shows, now I have to listen to James Fucking Brayshaw and Justin Langer in the lunch break?!? #WTCFinal #cricket

43 (60) is almost precisely Warner's average innings during the most recent IPL. Consistent. #WTCFinal #Cricket

Oh Davey. I think Henry Blofeld would have described that as 'having a windy woof at it'. #cricket

That said, sending Justin Langer to cover it is pretty good trolling. You could have been coaching the team if you weren’t such a weird cunt. #cricket #ausvind

World Test Cricket final is on Ch.7 for some reason, and Justin Langer paired with James Brayshaw for the intro is possibly the most punishing combination you could put to air. #cricket #ausvind

Ok, so is this the only innings in Test history to consist entirely of boundaries? #cricket

This season's Charlotte Edwards Cup has already exceeded one million total views after 19 matches, whereas that was the figure reached for the whole competition in previous years.

Average views per match are currently up more than 30% compared with past seasons.

Almost 10 years to the day that I first went to Lord's. Super jealous of my several friends that are there now, on what will surely be the final day of this Test. #cricket

It’s taken England 35 overs to get a lead of 35. Sluggish stuff. Bazball a sham. #ENGvIRE #Cricket

I hadn't realised Josh Tongue, England's new bowler was from my hometown of Redditch. In the 80s our local paper used to regularly feature stories about "Feckenham-based England fast bowler" Gladstone Small as our town's tenuous claim to sporting fame. And going by their ages his dad and the friend in this story might have played with my brother back then https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/65767533 #cricket

Ok that was an amazing stumping #cricket #IPL

#OnThisDay in 1937, Australia women began their Ashes tour with a trip to the Netherlands.

Getting to the match, just in time, involved a journey of boats, trains and automobiles (and a bicycle).

Future of Test cricket could be like Wimbledon, says Rajasthan Royals owner Manoj Badale - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/65486612

#OnThisDay in 2010, Deandra Dottin became the first woman to score a T20 hundred.

Her 112* off 45 (7x4,9x6) for West Indies vs South Africa remains one of the most extraordinary innings played in the format.

West Indies were 52/4 when Dottin came in to bat.

Her first ball faced was 9.5, and she brought up her hundred on ball 18.1.

This remains the 2nd fastest women's T20 hundred, and the only T20 century by a woman batting at #6 or lower.

As I've moved to a new instance, it's time for another #introduction - and whereas writing the first one felt deeply uncomfortable, this time it seems a lot easier. That's the transition from Twitter-brain to Mastodon-brain.

Who I am is more or less this: I'm an #autistic #Welsh person who lives in beautiful #Tynedale, and I spend my working time fiddling about with emergency #healthcare #data to improve care quality in the #NHS. I have issues with #anxiety and #loneliness, and I'm an abuse survivor. Because of the past abuse, I keep myself anonymous all over the internet; however, I've been using the Rollo Treadway alias for so long that it feels like part of me, my alter ego. So feel free to call me Rollo.

And I'm okay with they/them pronouns (because I don't really feel I fit within any gender identity) and also he/him (because that's what everyone offline has always used for me). Or frankly, any other pronouns, it's all good.

I migrated to #Mastodon from #Twitter during 2022 (initially at the start of the year, but properly in the autumn) and am very happy here.

Politically, I'm a #HandwringingLeftyLiberal, and like my bio says, I really don't have any time for Tories. This includes any close equivalents to Tories in other countries.

I love #trees and #woodland, I like to go #walking when I feel physically/mentally able, I'm fascinated by #birds but am hopeless at identifying them. I am *very* serious about #tea, I am (obviously) devoted to #SilentCinema, I'm unhealthily focused on #cricket (mostly #FirstClassCricket, #TestCricket and #CountyCricket, the white ball stuff isn't really for me), and especially #Durham in the #CountyChampionship. And in #football, I support #Gateshead.

Finally, I promise this is the last time I will do such a long post, and the last time I will put hashtags in the middle of the post rather than all at the beginning or end. I think hashtags in the middle is permitted for an introduction, or I hope so anyhow.

HELLO!

Took my friend Johnathan Davis to the cricket today to watch the Australia vs Pakistan women’s T20, but it was rained out.

But… I did get to show him the trophy from last summer’s Test against England at Manuka Oval, which is without a doubt the best day of cricket I have ever seen in my life. And we saw Alana King get the Player of the Season award, which she absolutely deserves.

Sport is a stupid thing as a spectator sometimes, but I cannot tell you how happy cricket has made me this year. Both the men and women have been a joy to watch/listen to.

For a long time, grand slam tennis was my favourite but in the last couple of years I think Test cricket has just edged it.
