The ploy of batting Mitchell Starc at No. 5 didn't go too well • BCCI
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.

Mitchell Starc can hit them long, sure, but it all looked a bit too left-field when he walked out at the fall of Marnus Labuschagne's wicket at No. 5 in the Bengaluru ODI. The man fell for a duck and his wife totally emoji-sledged him.

Presenting Bilal Asif, singer and songwriter
Bilal Asif is 34, last played for Pakistan in December 2018, and might be thinking of a new career move: singing, and songwriting. If it's anything like his Test debut, when he returned 6 for 36 against Australia, we are looking at an instant hit.
Super thrilled for my upcoming song. Guys please like, comment & share. I'm super excited to get you my very own single for the 1st time ever. It's written & sung by myself. I'm very hopeful that you all will like it. #pakistancricket #music #musicvideo #musiclovers pic.twitter.com/310guW8KKD
