@bsky.app I don't want to call my posts here tweets any more. I'm going with "skeets" - simulated bird flight. Any thoughts?

India bowled out for 330. Don't think it will be enough. Set up for Litchfield 💯.

Agree & she is a marketing plus. From a cricket perspective I don't think she is worth a spot.

Will the tv commentators please work out that there are Smart Reviews by the 3rd umpire who tells the onfield umpire the decision to give.
