Relive Peter Siddle's hat-trick in Auslan

Mikey Webb's Australian Sign Language interpretation of Peter Siddle's 2010-11 Ashes birthday hat-trick is as goosebump-inducing as Mark Taylor's iconic "He's given him! Peter Siddle has got a hat-trick on his birthday!"

Today is International Day of Sign Languages! #IDSL

Jimmy Neesham is not impressed by baseball

Catching a ball with your bare hands in the outfield? Whatever daredevilry will baseball get up to next? Wake Jimmy Neesham up when they discover tossed-up boundary catches.

Oh my god no glove that's insane https://t.co/jb5XkKj6Uw

Kartik Tyagi makes an impression

Kartik Tyagi's last-over heroics for Rajasthan Royals against Punjab Kings last night brought in praise from the highest quarters.

What an over, #KartikTyagi! To maintain a cool head under that kind of pressure and to get the job done, great stuff, very impressive! #PBKSvRR #IPL2021

Dale Steyn ranked his spell pretty highly too.

Close to the best last over (defending) ever! Wowza

While WV Raman stopped by to give himself a little pat on the back.

#KarthikTyagi was picked for the off season NCA camp 4-5 years ago. One of the selectors went by numbers and considered him a batsman. I had to tell the selector that Tyagi is a promising fast bowler and did not bowl that season due to injury. Numbers, I tell you!!
