Cricketing trends in Twitter today began with Ian Bishop flanked in a rare photograph with perhaps the greatest cricketer of all time, Sir Garfield Sobers. Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith spent a solid portion of the day on house decor while Kevin Pietersen, his father, and a few other uncles spent the day in a beautiful South African Golf course.

Elsewhere, the Indian cricketers Amit Mishra and Gautam Gambhir went on to wish Indian superstar PV Sindhu following her impressive silver medal in the Badminton event in the 2016 edition of the Rio Olympics.

The others were interested in the rugby match going on in Australia, with Simon Doull, Dave Hussey, and others focusing their attention on the proceedings there. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.
