Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

I could understand adding 3 inches if he was 5 foot something but why tf when you are 6'10?? So unnecessary

Shut up @trundler

Why be a 6' midget when you can be 7' ?

Paul Stirling has replaced Andy Balbirnie as Ireland's white-ball captain.

Had to show considerable restraint not to quote tweet this with a Ricky Pontingesque "well, he's out now. He got 40".

Durham playing Yorkshire in a 2nd XI game at Scarborough today. Haydon Mustard playing for Durham. One of the umpires is Phil Mustard...his father.

Could be interesting if there is an LBW appeal.

4 of them in the top 7 is pretty insane

Even more insane is that 4 in the top 7 is not enough to dominate

Haha, just read Starc found a bag of his wife's bats in the garage and stole one. Credits the lighter bat with his improved batting of late, including his 41 in the WTC final (isn't she like a foot shorter so shorter handle?)

Just wondering which Test cricketers you've actually met and spoken to

For me it's Dennis Lillee, Greg Chappell and Ian Chappell

Hooper, Lara, DJ Bravo, Chris Gayle, Wavell Hinds, Ryan Hinds, Jason Holder, Shane Dowrich, Suleiman Benn, Tino Best, among many others.

Chanderpaul I had the opportunity to bowl at during a practice session.

It's one of the perks when first-class cricket is played at my home ground.

what's going on with the hand

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

It's AI generated.

Cummins hand looks fine. Is Starc trying to point the ring finger for some reason.

 

[ataraxia]

Of no interest whatsoever, but anything's a good opportunity to engage in cricinfo-bashing ey. My disdainful searching of it has got increasingly frenetic recently – average is something like criicnof. Anyway I was pleased that Google has learnt this excellently:



Quite right, that.

Just saw Mike Gatting on TV and remembered I met him too.

It was on day one at Headingley in 09. We were at the ground quite early, three of us, and he walked past and wished us a good morning.

We then got bowled out for 102
