The Buzz: Don't forget to celebrate Shahid Afridi Day

All the bantz, the jousts, and little bit of eavesdropping from the social media playground and beyond

All the world's cricketers walked into a bar. The LOLs, the chatter, and the occasional mini-brawls, they were endless. And the news cycle was never the same again! Welcome to ESPNcricinfo's Social Buzz, your go-to destination for all the bantz, the jousts, and little bit of eavesdropping from the social media playground and beyond.
February 5
Bust out the party hats and call for some cake, it's Shahid Afridi's name day somewhere in the world. In 2014, the mayor of Port Arthur, Texas, declared that February 5 would officially be known as Shahid Afridi Day, and just in case anyone had forgotten to mark this on their calendar, Afridi has a timely reminder.

David Warner's daughter is tomorrow's cricket terror

Remember when David Warner's discovered a little Virat Kohli in his backyard? Well the adorable Ivy Mae just upped the cuteness stakes with her latest snit. While doing a spot of batting - or Kohli-ing - at the park, the tot missed a delivery that would have found the stumps. In a bit of drama worthy of a top-flight cricketer, Ivy shouted "Nice spinning" before flinging her bat down in anger. We can't wait to see her in the Australian team. She's going to be a regular terror. World domination is guaranteed.
Missed all the chatter last week? Catch up on it here.
