Funny Cricket Tweets March 2019 edition
Yes, it’s back.
Funny cricket tweets is here again, after a bit of a hiatus. Sure, things can get busy, but that’s never an excuse for not showcasing some of the brilliance you see on Twitter from cricket fans. If it’s not an argument or fans mentioning the wrong people when ball tampering or mankad happens, you can have a laugh at proper gold.
With the intention of making this a weekly piece again, I will go through some of the best tweets for March. From next week, it will be weekly. If it’s not, pull me up on it on Twitter (@CricBlog_). Question me as a person as Shane Warne questioned R Ashwin.
Plenty happened in March, including the PSL, IPL, a mankad, Duanne Olivier wanting to become British, and of course Australia’s series wins against India and Pakistan.
Below are 20 great tweets for you to feast your eyes on. Kudos to all who put them together!
#1: Back to primary school, mate
As mentioned in my Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series Player Ratings, I think Imam is a good player. However, he has room for a little more maturity. Just imagining Imam-ul-Haq giving it to other students and guests in the primary school playground. Last part of the tweet had me laughing, @RashidRaajput!
#2: What are you guys talking about?
I love a good caption. Especially when the kid is wearing RCB colours. This one from @Sahil_Adhikaari had me in stitches. A superb cricketer, Virat Kohli could age five years during this IPL. Poor Virat is wondering why everyone is going crazy. And, the way RCB are going in IPL 2019, it is likely to continue for yet another year.
#3: Daniel, mate, it’s the top four
Daniel Alexander put up a tweet for the ages last week. Taking up stand up comedy, Daniel had fellow cricket fans in stitches. Until @pprajapati070 reminded him that it the bottom four teams don’t qualify for the semis. Be careful though Parth, Australia are coming! For your info, it’s a hilarious tweet!
#4: Play World Cup players? What for?
Oh, Inzy… Yes, Pakistan just completed an action-packed PSL tournament, but resting over half of the first-choice team in the last series before a World Cup is an eyebrow raiser. @PSLMemesWalay reckons Inzi is set for life when it comes to “dumbest thing you have ever done” confessions!
#5: The Prime Minister to weigh in…
Who can forget the mankad? No one can, after India Prime Minister addressed the nation about it. Hilarious, @suneerchowdhary!
#6: The timing…
You should see the timing of this. @imsgshinde2 predicted Vikrant Gupta would be going crazy with Harbhajan taking three wickets against RCB in the IPL 2019 opener. Guess what tweet showed up at the same time?
#7: “I want to talk to you all about loyalty”
So, how about Duanne Olivier? He leaves South Africa to take up a Kolpak Deal, and then expresses his desire to play for England. Remember Duanne, South Africa made you. @EssexLeague has given Paddy’s a great idea for an ambassador. Duanne is perfect for the “loyalty’s dead” campaign!
#8: We can do it! Ah, no we can’t…
Before IPL 2019, I posed the question whether RCB can win the title this season. Now, I know I was part of the 99.99% who at least have a soft spot for RCB and believe they could do it. The other 0.01% have played as if they know they can’t do it. Hilarious stuff from @CrickPotato1.
#9: OK, I will make sure of it…
Nothing hurts like RCB. Turning off the TV is the best way to ensure no pain. @FarziCricketer is known for quality, funny tweets, and this is no exception. Cheeky.
#10: Our expectations were low for you, but still…
I don’t mean to bash on RCB. However, with such riches, superstar players and huge fanbase, they are huge underachievers. So much so that expectations get lower every season, but disappointment still occurs! @IndianCaptain is another quality account, where you are sure to have a laugh scrolling through.
#11: Still keen to babysit?
I ask Star Sports to put together an over-confident advertising campaign ahead of the Australia vs India World Cup campaign. They tend to be a bad luck charm for India, and this was no different. Thank you to @AnuragN61265128 for reminding us of the ad, and making us laugh too. 2-0 up, 3-2 down! Thanks Sehwag!
#12: The question on everyone’s mind…
@suneerchowdhary makes a second appearance. Gentlemen, if she answers “Vijay Shankar”, cut to the chase and marry her. Ladies, if he answers “Vijay Shankar,” cut to chase and marry him.
#13: EPIC
*Tweet saved*. *Screenshot taken*. *Straight to funny tweets*. @_Blindinho_ makes it easy for producers when thinking of what to call the RCB documentary. No Title! Again, I apologise for all the RCB. It’s just that they are the funniest tweets. Don’t blame me, blame the tweeters!
#14: “Yep, he’s different now. Bring him back”
If you think this was bad, you should have seen Umar Akmal’s fielding. However, @mirzalalbaig hit the nail on the head, while providing a good laugh. Honestly, those shots are examples of what club cricketers should look to avoid. How frustrating is Umar Akmal?
#15: Man of the series!
Really nice touch giving Ravi Shastri the man of the series award against Australia. He was one of Australia’s best, failing to lock down the number four spot, batting in-form Vijay Shankar down the order. Thanks, from @ankit34099237 and I!
#16: You aren’t playing club cricket, guys
@Eme2ul and I have been following each other for a while. However, if I wasn’t following him, this tweet would have had me hitting the follow button faster than the mind could imagine. Virat Kohli told the umpires this is IPL, not club cricket after a last-ball no-ball was missed vs MI. The umpire then questioned RCB’s playing standards vs SRH. Gold. What a tweet.
#17: Whitewash!
The Pakistan vs Australia series was sponsored by Head and Shoulders. But, Pakistan couldn’t wash away their tendency to grab defeat from the jaws of victory. The saving grace though, is Brighto Paints delivering a product worthy of the series – a White Wash. Quality stuff from @saqibfarshori – a good laugh!
#18: You’re not looking…
Still remember the Ashwin mankad? Who can forget. Here is R Ashwin looking to be sneaky with attention elsewhere. Gold from @sagarcasm!
#19: Non-strikers be like…
Sneaky? Not anymore. Keep an eye on Jos Buttler the next time he plays Ravi Ashwin. He’ll have this face. Quality stuff from @dBigDangTheory!
#20: Jaydev, the King!
Jaydev Unadkat took 0/54 in his most recent match vs CSK. A reminder from @1sInto2s he remains one of the most expensive picks. Well done Jaydev, you’re a legend! I’m sure there will be pictures of him laughing on his way to the bank.
So, there are my 20 funny tweets for March 2019.
As mentioned, these will be a weekly article again, so tweet away. Share your tweets with me in case I miss them!
Thanks for reading!
