Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Today, the cricketing fraternity celebrated the first day of the year 2020 and cricketers like Kevin Pietersen, Rohit Sharma, Sandeep Lamichhanne and many more wished their fans on this special occasion. Jalaj Saxena wished for the well-being of the Indian soldiers for protecting the nation from all types of external forces.

Meanwhile, Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat were involved in the first game of the year 2020 in Big Bash League. The game was won by Scorchers on the back of some commendable performance given by Zahir Khan, who registered brilliant bowling figures of 3/18. He was also awarded Man of The Match for his brilliance. Also, Brad Hogg, the former Aussie leg-spinner praised the Heat’s leg-spinner saying that he is a magician.

Kevin Pietersen has given his opinion ahead of the 2nd Test between SA and England. He feels that England should drop one bowler between Stuart Broad and James Anderson for a perfect team combination. Otherwise, they will again struggle against Proteas in the first game of the year 2020.

11. Mike Atherton feels that it is not a great idea to reduce Test cricket to 4-day format 

Well said athers…never understand how people don’t want more test cricket. Take the 2 Boxing Day tests just completed.contrasting conditions but proper entertainment. Beats any other format hands down.
