In the days of one-sided Test matches, there is a silver lining.
You’ll get some funny cricket tweets.
The state of Test cricket at times is not a laughing matter, but these tweets are. As I think of ways Test cricket can be improved, I’m treated to laughs, and I hope you will laugh as well!
Enjoy these classics, and of course, be sure to send through anything to me via Twitter (@cric_blog) that you feel deserves a mention! (Could be yours or someone else’s tweets).
Funny Cricket Tweet #1: Change of gloves? What for?
Lucky I wasn’t drinking anything upon seeing this, otherwise I would have needed a new phone, computer and the lot.
I believe Hardik Pandya is overrated myself, but I also believe at the same time that he is a bit of a scapegoat. But, this is an absolute ripper of a tweet from @ImNsamy. I’m just imagining Hardik having his hands up asking for new gloves and the guys looking at him with those facial expressions.
Laugh out loud…
Funny Cricket Tweet #2: Congratulations in advance to Fakhar Zaman
There is no doubt that Fakhar Zaman is a class player, but @Holdthedoor19 has struck again! Following Pakistan’s very fruitful series of Zimbabwe recently, you’re bound to get these.
How Tuvalu Island was thought of as the opposition beats me, and that’s probably the funniest part of this, as well as the professional “breaking news” layout of the image. Good one! (and congrats on 2,000 runs, Fakhar…)
Funny Cricket Tweet #3: Good competition! But the wrong competition…
At times, Sri Lanka and South Africa both outdid each other in let’s say, not their best cricket.
@CricFan2000 put it bluntly and beautifully. So simple yet so elegant. True cricket artistry. I wonder if the real Kane makes people chuckle like this!
Funny Cricket Tweet #4: A desperate plea…
Kagiso Rabada was crowned Wisden’s best young player in the world. This led to a desperate plea from @swing_seam who continues to tweet absolute fire.
It says a lot about India’s batting when you’re keen to cash in on three batsmen at a discounted rate, in exchange for a bowler. A good chuckle!
Funny Cricket Tweet #5: Another desperate plea…
The Asia Cup can’t come quickly enough, but that’s still not adequate enough for India right now.
Two big Test series v Sri Lanka is needed to recover from a Lord’s nightmare. Lahiru Kamara and Suranga Lakmal on a subcontinent pitch definitely look better than James Anderson and Stuart Broad on a seamer.
I’m hearing the BCCI have called Sri Lanka Cricket, @ImAbhishek7_!
Funny Cricket Tweet #6: It was all MS Dhoni’s fault, huh?
The face. The face is brilliant.
@DhoniFangirl is just that… A big Dhoni fan.
I must say, I agree with this tweet. MS Dhoni shouldn’t be blamed for everything by some fans. India’s top order is an absolute wreck at the moment. Delivery of this point in this tweet = 10/10.
Funny Cricket Tweet #7: True statement. Do something about it, BCCI
@slicesoflife, with a brilliant Seinfeld reference in the Twitter bio, with a beauty.
If life wasn’t bad enough for India, Virat Kohli went down with a back injury and protocol suggested he couldn’t bat for a little while. Even in that little while, India’s top three couldn’t ensure he could come in at his usual top four slot.
Ajinkya Rahane had to be sent in. What a time to be alive…
Funny Cricket Tweet #8: It’s already bad enough…
Harbhajan was a fine offie. Ricky Ponting would tell you that.
Commentator? Hmm, still have my doubts (I’m being kind here). Then, he hands out batting tips. From bad to worse for India fans. Well said @Shyam23389.
Funny Cricket Tweet #9: Moving to counter the moving, right?
@cricdrugs often comes up with some beauties, and this was another.
“Moving to counter the moving ball works, right?” asked Shastri. Don’t forget moving players in and out of the side! More chopping and changing than one in a kitchen preparing a meal.
Funny Cricket Tweet #10: He’s hit the cover off that one!
A huge thank you to @RadioCricket for showing us this magnificent review. This was shown in court and the jury deemed there was no evidence to overturn the decision. It looked like he hit the cover off that one!
Full tweet here.
Funny Cricket Tweet #11: Um, batting coach, a word please?
When your batting coach wishes Sri Lanka bowled their seamers IN SRI LANKA, it’s a good time to go home.
“Words of wisdom” by @PoppingCreaseSA had me laughing! Love the sarcasm! All one can do is laugh I guess… Awful stuff from Dale (not Steyn).
