'This is the vengabus!'

The hard life
"Can you believe when I opened 3 of my 1990 hill of grace bottles of red last night all were oxidised Shattered,I had saved them for ages too"
@warne888

Oh Shane, my heart bleeds. Did Liz Hurley dry your tears? Life is so unfair.

The appointment
"Meeting the Queen today. #luckyher"
@JoeScuderi1 (Italy coach)

The protection
"Just sent a pair of doc martins off to get spiked up upon news that middlesex have signed malinga for T20"
@TomMaynard55

The Lord's Test
The weather, the lunch, the glazing…

"When it starts to hail you know we must be getting close to a test match..."
@VaughanCricket (Michael Vaughan)

"There's no better week than preparing for a lords test match. Rack of lamb and sticky toffee pudding.....oh how I miss it!"
@Colly622 (Paul Collingwood)

"Awesome to see all the boys today.Back in my usual spot in the dressing room with my bats leaning 'gently' against the window!#lovethisplace"
@MattPrior13

The Vengabus
"This is the vengabus! #YCCC"
@YCCCDizzy (Jason Gillespie)

No, I don't really know what he means either. Yorkshire had won, so I guess being the Vengabus is a good thing. Not in my world, but then I'm not Jason Gillespie.

The hollow feeling
"You know your place in the team when all get a gift box left in their rooms with electronic goods and your box is empty?"
@Brad_Hogg

You're too old for presents, Brad.

The speed limit
Dale Steyn's driver was falling asleep at the wheel.

"Just made my driver down a Redbull! I'm watching u Schumy!"
@DaleSteyn62

Enforced drug use. This is basically what happens to Popeye Doyle in French Connection II.

The likely story
"I'm going completely left-field here, but despite appearances, Gatt was one of the fittest people I played with #tufferstales"
@philtufnell

Fit for purpose maybe, if the purpose was eating cake.

What's your philosophy?
"Live your life, take chances, be crazy. Don't wait cause right now is the oldest you've ever been & the youngest you'll be ever again."
@farveezmaharoof Film appreciation with Worcestershire's Alan Richardson
"Watched Black Swan last night, apart from one scene it was totally disturbing and actually not very good!!"
@alricho21

Getting to know God
"Definitely the best striking I hv seen by Rohit & smart rotation of strike by Gibbs put us in commanding position.Well done the MI bowlers!!"
@sachin_rt

Lord, tell us more about the workmanlike competence of your disciples.

"Amazing cricket by Rayudu n Pollard. They both played Murli intelligently & took on other bowlers. Incredible finish by both of them for MI."

Tino Best's modesty corner
"If u don't follow the fastest bowler on the planet #ThatAintCool"
@tinobest

Come on, everybody - we have to follow Shaun Tait if we want to impress Tino.

Life lessons from cricketers
"Just dropped my choc chip cookie in my cup of tea! How do I salvage this? Tea spoon it out or let it go? One of lifes biggest dilemmas" @finnysteve (Steven Finn)
