The great Brian Lara and the great Carl Hooper. Moments we do the job for. Only missing the great Ian Bishop from a trio who had tears in their eyes. Privileged to witness this stunning WI win #AusvWI

- Rahane’s leadership given the 36 all out, given the injuries, given this extraordinary final day... Calmness, humbleness & equanimity personified #AusvInd
- Cricket. is. Incredible. Siraj utterly deserves that #EngvInd
- High praise from KL Rahul for Shubman Gill, plenty that we haven’t seen behind the scenes, but Gill has led with the bat, has galvanised a team without Kohli & Rohit, and won matches without Bumrah. #IndvEng
- David Warner like a boxer who’s gone 12 rounds with a heavyweight. He’s 192 not out having batted all day in +35 degrees. @7Cricket
- Nitish Kumar Reddy lived his Tiger & Warrior tattoo today. Described its meaning to me in Perth, plus the sacrifice his father made. Not a dry eye seeing his dad’s reaction to his son’s Test hundred today. Pride of India #AusvInd13 hours (!) worth of work for the tattoos down Nitish Kumar Reddy's arm. He tells @AlisonMitchell how it inspires him to feel like the 'warrior' #AUSvIND
00:00 - Fans can get so engaged with 4 or 5 Tests in a series. Characters reveal themselves over time, familiarity with touring players develop, and a soap opera unfolds in a way that just isn’t possible over the many 2 Test series that so many countries play due to finances. #EngvInd
- What a difference a decade makes. Drummoyne Oval 2009 Women’s WORLD CUP match; 2019 Women’s DOMESTIC final 👌🏼🏏 #sellout #WBBLFinal #WBBL04 #7Cricket @CricketAus
- Don’t be late for the Oval tomorrow when Jimmy & Broady walk out to bat, the two of them, at 11am… Or a declaration overnight and the pair to run out to start their final bowling inns together. Either way, bring tissues! 🥲🥺 #Ashes #BBCCricket
- Equality is only equality when all players have an equal opportunity to enter an auction. Feel for how much these 💰 figures will grow the gap between Pakistan players and the rest. No Pakistan players in #WPLAuction as per #IPL.
- Ashwin retirement is immediate. What a cricketer. Said to media here at the Gabba that he didn’t want to make it all about him, so he’d keep it brief. Said he was too emotional to take questions right now. Gave a heartfelt speech, got up to applause from the assembled. #AusvInd𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙬𝙞𝙣 🫡 A name synonymous with mastery, wizardry, brilliance, and innovation 👏👏 The ace spinner and #TeamIndia's invaluable all-rounder announces his retirement from international cricket. Congratulations on a legendary career, @ashwinravi99 ❤️
- Woakes on Test cricket and franchise cricket: “You don’t get this feeling anywhere else in the world” You don’t, Chris, and neither do we❤️
- A century each innings for Khawaja, only the 3rd time the famous old SCG has seen twin centuries in a Test #ashes 👏🏼 👏🏼
