The Cricketing trends began with Anil Kumble, Michael Vaughan and Daryl Tuffey began with tweets congratulating Kane Williamson’s New Zealand for a victory over their arch-rivals Australia. Shoaib Akhtar clicked a selfie with the legends of yesteryear – Virender Sehwag and Brett Lee. Umesh Yadav enjoyed an evening with his wife at Old Trafford as Steve Harmison was halfway down the countryside, giving a motivational speech to students. David Weise couldn’t wait to put on the Proteas jersey and the cap while former England batsman Mark Ramprakash had a golfing session in the afternoon breeze of London. Adam Gilchrist enjoyed some motorsport action on a Friday evening. David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd accepted birthday wishes from all over the world via twitter while AB de Villiers felt inspired by two girls playing tennis. That said, here are the best tweets of the day in our cricketing trends.
