Cricketing trends in Twitter today
2 Min Read


With Australia winning the first ODI against Pakistan at the Gabba, this edition of the Cricketing trends in Twitter today was kicked-off by Australian skipper Steve Smith who lauded his side’s performance on the day. His sentiment was shared by Smith’s deputy David Warner although both men did not make much of an impact with the bat.
A few miles south, history was being created at Christchurch. Shakib Al Hasan went on to become only the third Bangladeshi cricketer to help himself to a double century. However, his 217 on the day showcased the character of the man whilst proving that one could indeed bat in such conditions freely.
Kevin Pietersen’s tweet has been a topic of debate in recent times given the fact that only T20 internationals have become crowd-pullers in recent times while Tests and ODIs struggle to draw fans to the stadiums. In fact, many a documentary has been made on the same. That said, here are some of the best tweets from the cricketers today.

10. Kevin Pietersen questions the direction cricket is going in at the moment
Poor crowd for Boxing Day Test match. Poor crowd at GABBA for today's ODI. FULL HOUSES at BBL games. Where will cricket be in 5yrs?
