Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Iqbal Abdullah, the Mumbai spinner, reckons that one should not expect an expensive gift like ‘honesty’ from cheap people. Kyle Jarvis thanked Zimbabwe mate Sikandar Raza for all the support. Raza was recently adjudged the Player of the Match in Zimbabwe’s second Test against Sri Lanka at the Harare Sport Club. He picked up eight wickets in the match and also turned up with some useful runs.

Former Australian spinner Brad Hogg feels that team should opt to bat first in the BBL. In the Eliminator, Qualifier and Knockout, the chasing teams went on to lose the match. Sydney Thunder have won both the Eliminator and the knockout, batting first against Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers respectively. RP Singh thanked BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah after he was appointed as a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).

Grant Elliot and Tom Moody have called for changes in the Super Over. The third and fourth T20I between India and New Zealand went into the one-over eliminator. On both instances, the visitors came out trumps. Moody believes that a separate toss should be taking place prior to the Super Over . Sandeep Lamichhane congratulated Nepal teammate Sompal Kami after the latter got married. Yuzvendra Chahal posted a hilarious video on tik-tok.

5. Shoaib Akhtar goes down the memory lane to the ‘underarm’ saga

On this day 39 years ago, with New Zealand needing six off the last ball to tie, Greg Chappell ordered his brother – Trevor – to bowl underarm.
The tactic caused controversy and was quickly banned.

8. Grant Elliot calls for a change in Super Over rules

Not sour grapes at all, but @ICC I recommend for super overs that both teams can only use batters who haven’t been dismissed during the match. #superovers

11. Tom Moody calls for change in Super Over rules

With all these #SuperOvers being played out, I’d like to make two suggestions.
1. A new toss to be conducted for the super over.
2. The bowling side to nominate two bowlers to deliver 3 balls each in the super over. #cricket #foodforthought @ICC
