For many of us, Field of Dreams makes a persuasive case for #cricket as an agent of hope. It also has much to teach us about recovery. My piece @ChurchTimes 👇 @flintoff11 @kylehogg22 @cofelancs #bbccricket @BBCSport @VernonCaruscc #CricketTwitter

@henrymoeranBBC The one bright light yesterday, from @englandcricket perspective, was Rashid's bowling. Absolutely top draw. There is something just cricket affirming about a fine spin bowler doing his thing...#INDvENG

@AatifNawaz @bbctms Thanks for the heads-up. Look forward to tuning in: @bbctms do a good job of evoking ambience & place. What's the feeling on the ground about the likely winners & losers?

This WTC's been engaging, so I liked this punt @RicFinlay. Not sure on Konstas, but with the luxury choice of Boland or Hazlewood & that middle order (& match-playing ability), @CricketAus look formidable. Views #CricketTwitter? @peterhardy51 @justnotcrkpod #Cricket @TomFord83

@WG_RumblePants Newlands for me. I've visited the MCG & SCG. Absolutely loved the SCG; blend of Victorian-era charm & the new. Was there at the end of a 9-month stay in Sydney, which made it extra fine, & the evocative sight & smell of ghostly gums against the night sky outside stays with me.

@RicFinlay Thanks. What's Green's form at present? He'll be a benefit in the field too if fit. You also have the luxury of Boland or Hazlewood. Not seen enough of Konstas to comment, but with your batting depth & pace attack, the one certainty from this neutral is Aus will be formidable.

@surreycricket @VitalityBlast Really excited when I saw this signing, but disappointed its not for the #countychamp. He was excellent for @BLACKCAPS in India late last year.

The snowdrops are out & the sound of leather on willow feels close - albeit wrapped in cable-knit jumpers - and with an 'Indian #cricket summer' to come, I've dived in with these Raj era classics 👇 What's whetting your appetite #CricketTwitter ?

@BBCBreakfast One of those programmes that just stays with you, however many years have passed. Strong memories remain of Brian and the cast from my very early childhood.

. #AUSvIND captivated, & among its many tales, that of @RishabhPant17 from car wreck to bat-wielding best shone bright. My piece @CricketSociety 👇Thanks @peterhardy51
