hell yeah.
Social media really doesn't help people's mental health. Chatting to someone whose mate was literally suicidal, but you'd never know it from their social media feed.
The Fern is the extent of my social media. You'll never see a more wretched hive of scum and villany, but it works for me

@Stockcar86 509/4 - Is this a record total for Premier Grade One Day Cricket in NZ?
If it is not then the second wicket partnership of 408 in 41 overs is still mightily impressive.

I see a certain person on that scorecard has just been caught D.I.C

@Higgins 500 is an insane 50 over score - congrats, and in the clubs centenary too!

South Africa are the Jinx of Cricket finals!
I see their women lost the semi against Ozzie in a rain hampered D/L affected match

"In the first 25 matches of his test career, from his debut in March 2008 to the middle of the tour of England in May 2013, Southee took 81 wickets at an average of 34 and a strike rate of 64.
"In the next 25, from the final match of that 2013 tour to the end of the tour of Zimbabwe in August 2016, he took 91 wickets at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 63.
"Then in his last 23 matches, from the tour of South Africa in August 2016 to the end of India's visit in March, he has taken 112 wickets at an average of 24 and a strike rate of 49."
Okay the next person who tries claiming that Southee is past it or a journeyman at Test level is wearing my walking stick - the metal cored one

@SynicBast I'll give you a really good example of how stats can be misleading.
In the Perth and Melbourne tests last year Southee was statistically our seond best bowler with the quality figures of 12 wickets at 25.75. However, he's an opening bowler. A strike weapon. In the first innings in Perth his first wicket was Matthew Wade. They had 225 on the board. His next wicket was at 325. Hardly the stuff of a genuine strike bowler (ie one who can help his team in all conditions). In the second innings he got David Warner with 44 on the board which was helpful but then next struck at 148. He very nearly claimed a ten-for in this match, FFS! But we were never in it, basically batted out of it in the first innings.
In Melbourne, he got three first innings wickets. Normally that's probably quite a useful return. Except the three were batting heavyweights Starc, Cummins and Lyon and his first was at 435. Nothing in the relatively brief second innings of this match although Wagner got three and even Mitchell Santner burgled a wicket.
