Cricketing trends in Twitter today

It was a rather sad day for the cricketers in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today with many sending in their condolences for the now deceased John Hampshire. The latter was a former Yorkshire player and someone who was an inspiration to the likes of Michael Vaughan.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) then took center stage with Ravi Bopara wishing his side luck while Rilee Rossouw announced that he would not be a part of the touring party that will play the final at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Luke Wright, one of Rossow’s teammates caught the direct flight from Dubai as he geared up for Essex’s NatWest T20 Blast Challenge.

Simon Katich landed in Bengaluru for the second Test and was warmly met by Darren Lehmann while Dale Steyn prepared for a trip with his beloved pooch. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.
