The World T20 is now in full flow, England are in the midst of another classic Test match in Sri Lanka but what’s been going on in the bubble of cricket on social media?
After Ireland’s heartbreaking defeat to Pakistan in the World T20, Ireland captain Laura Delany lamented her side’s predicament of being a side lacking professional status in an otherwise fully professional tournament. In a lovely gesture, Alyssa Healy, arguably vying for Player of the Tournament so far, sent words of encouragement to the captain of the plucky Irish side – one that is brimming with potential.
Should be proud of what you guys achieve. Punch well above your weight constantly!

In a rather amusing Twitter exchange, Jack Brooks had to defend his outstanding credentials in county cricket against random Somerset fans on Twitter who questioned the wisdom of his move down to Taunton. Brooks, ever the character, didn’t back down in reply.
