Devon Conway continues to remain in the discussion on social media circles in the cricketing world. The New Zealand batsman experienced a fairytale start to his Test career and scored a double century on Test debut at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground against England.

And, the likes of Vinod Kambli and Jason Gillespie have offered their thoughts on Conway. While Kambli opined that Conway has shades of Jacques Kallis in the way he plays, Gillespie has extended his congratulations to the Kiwi willow wielder. Meanwhile, the third day’s play between England and New Zealand has been delayed due to rain, and Michael Vaughan has some thoughts to offer regarding this matter.

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin has reflected back on the memories from his playing days, while Subramaniam Badrinath is remembering the late SP Balasubrahmanyam on his 75th birthday. Mohammed Shami and Harmanpreet Kaur have posted some pictures from Southampton.

Australian bowling great Shane Warne is remembering the ‘Ball of the Century’ that he bowled to dismiss Mike Gatting. Former South African batting legend Herschelle Gibbs has changed his profile picture. And finally, England cricketer Ben Stokes turns 30 today, and David Miller has wished Stokes on his birthday.
