    If the ICC don’t give Virat a holiday with his family in Sydney then we might as well pack up our bat and ball and go home. Changed his line and showed the world the kid has rattled him & his team. Such a shame as the kid absolutely idolizes Kohli. “ Never meet your hero ” 😢

    I am uncomfortably numb we spoke on the phone for almost 2 hours just a few days ago & now you are gone. So glad we reunited my friend after too many years apart. This photo a memory I’ll cherish forever. Rest easy Big Tuna I’ll miss our passionate cricket chats 💔 #PSLChamps

    Today will always be a horrible day for the rest of my life. A wonderful young man who just happened to be a super cricketer with so much more 2 achieve was struck at SCG 5 years ago. My heartfelt love & condolences remain with the Hughes family who have endured unbearable pain💔

    How many of you sitting at home would like to be in young Nathan McSweeney shoes right now. (Seriously) 2 days in the field. Now shadows on the pitch. Get your seatbelts on as some serious turbulence is expected over Optus Stadium as Bumrah the beast is about to unleash hell 🔥

    Watching Test cricket on spinning wickets in India is simply the best. It’s an absolute examination of your technique & temperament . It’s exhilarating cricket. ITS A TEST 🏏

    Pat Cummins I was wrong. I questioned your tactical nous and your tenure as skipper during the frustrating Ashes series. Once again today at the G you have lead our country over the line with your big ❤️ & immense skill, they were never in question. Im so happy to eat my words 🙏

    The pain of reality was at times suffocating but the beautiful tributes & celebration of the life of my great mate SKW was magnificent. Your family & in particular your 3 children were brave & strong, their words poignant. Farewell from ex teammates below. We love you mate 💔🏏

    As Christmas draws to a close & things go all quiet in the family home. I’m raising my glass in silence to absent friends taken far too soon in recent times. As the Boxing Day test looms, it will never be the same for me with out the king of the G in the house. Miss ya mate 💔🙏

    I have been critical of Pat Cummins tactical captaincy especially when we are trying to dismiss the tail & I stand firm. But I will never question his cricket ability, athleticism, his resilience or his toughness. Pulling us out of the mire once again here 🙏 #gameon

    Can someone please explain to this man why 250 wickets at 23 over 7 years of hard work & toil repeatedly dismissing the best batsmen in our country is overlooked for an exciting prospect of 5 shield games 😩
