Cricketing trends in Twitter today

In spite of being a few hundred miles away in Vizag, Gautam Gambhir certainly knows the value of relationships. He kicked off today’s edition of Cricketing trends when he wished Yusuf Pathan on the latter’s birthday, thus igniting a friendship that has been developed by virtue of the fact that the duo play for the same IPL side.

All eyes, however, were on the events developing in the middle at Vizag with a few tweets coming in. James Taylor lauded the bowling efforts of his pal Jimmy Anderson, while Dean Jones had a few things to say about the uncanny intruder during the day’s play.

The turmoil the Australian cricket team is going through at the moment is something that is taking a lot out of everyone at the moment. However, Darren Lehmann can see the positivity and will be one to focus on their upcoming Test match at Adelaide. Darren Sammy and Dale Steyn had a few throwbacks with today being ‘Throwback Thursday’.
