Careful, Jimmy. We have the power to shift the decimal point in your batting and bowling averages, you know.That may be a bit underhand on our part, but sounds like Jimmy knows a thing or two about that kind of thing.

Agree that there will be no shenanigans and then shake on it. A handshake’s legally binding. Nothing controversial could ever come about following a handshake.The absence of one following an impressive innings, however…

Turns out the Aussies are perfectly happy to show a player respect.There was plenty more evidence of this as Mitchell Johnson’s team-mates lined up to pay overly emotional tribute to him upon his retirement.

Watson sometimes gives the impression that a great many things bring tears to his eyes. It took a fellow fast bowler to offer a pithier and rather less embarrassingly gushing take.

That’s how you use a hashtag.This is how you don’t.
—
It’s catching. Pretty soon the whole commentary box will be #justsaying things. That is, of course, their job – but you get the point.Here’s another poor hashtag.
—
It’s over, Shane. You can stop using the hashtag now.Nor is Warne the only Aussie clinging to past glories.

Gillespie was also spotted doing a bit of fielding by ex-Australia coach Tim Nielsen.

Parthiv Patel meanwhile, is self-sledging, directing the banter at himself.

Kemar Roach is increasingly quiet on Twitter. It takes major developments to spur him into a tweet nowadays.

Meanwhile, Chris Gayle is continuing with what he does best – taking selfies with his shirt off.
—
Do you think he knows it’s possible to work out without a mirror?Somewhere in the world, there is always a cricketer not really committing to an opinion one way or the other about air travel.
—
He knows where he stands on rail travel, though.
—
Meanwhile, New South Wales’ Gurinder Sandhu is positively enthusiastic about bus travel.

It’s for this kind of insight into sporting lives that Twitter was made.
