Today’s edition of Cricketing trends sees the spotlight fixed on three matches that are taking place all across the world. Ryan Sidebottom, the former England pace bowler was quick to congratulate the impressive Jonny Bairstow following his record number of runs and dismissals in a calendar year.

Steve Smith and Kyle Abbott were pleased with the completion of the series that concluded rather fittingly with the pink ball and with an Australian win. Usman Khawaja and David Warner also spent the day relaxing from what has been an arduous Test series for the Aussies against the South Africans.

Jason Holder ran into Makhaya Ntini, whom he describes as his childhood hero while Michael Vaughan did an interesting pitch report of the Mohali wicket prior to the start of the day’s play. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.
