Twitter banter between England’s ODI squad

Whether you are a fan of Twitter or not, you might be fascinated by what England’s cricketers get up to in their spare time. The international cricket schedule is jam packed, but there is still plenty of down time while on the road as part of the England cricket squad.

Normally, you wouldn’t know what they get up to. It’s all about what they do on the cricket field you might think. However, thanks to social-networking site Twitter, it has emerged that Ashes winners James Anderson and Graeme Swann spend their time winding each other up on the website.

Then, just as they might have started getting bored with their one-on-one consultations, they persuaded Yorkshire and England bowler Tim Bresnan to sign up to the site and now he is the brunt of their jokes.

Just because I’m writing about this doesn’t mean that I am bored of the ICC Champions Trophy by the way. It’s just that there have been some highly interesting/humorous ‘tweets’ from these three since they have been in South Africa. Here are some of the best…

“Just saw Tim Bresnan having brunch. He said he had an early breakfast and lunch isn’t for another hour so he had to fill the void somehow!” – James Anderson.

“Off to the game now. Have chosen to listen to Muse on the bus rather than Swanny.” – James Anderson.

“Going for a late breakfast then some shopping. Gonna try and help Swanny find some decent clothes. Plenty of black I think (slimming)!” – James Anderson.

“Haircut is cancelled! Got to nip to Waterstones to get Jimmy Anderson a new joke book or a personality of his own?” – Tim Bresnan.

“Apologies to Graeme Swann and Jimmy Anderson, AKA the Dipshit brothers I knew Fearne (Cotton) was off limits, it’s all they talked about for 18 holes.” – Tim Bresnan.

“Went to the gym as a team this morning. Onions starred on the treadmill, Bopara in the pool, Bresnan in the coffee shop.” – Graeme Swann.

“Once more I apologise for the tweets of Timmy “resorts to violence when all the doughnuts are gone” Bresnan. Please bear with him.” – Graeme Swann.

“If I dream about Holly Willoughby and the ginger girls aloud this day will be just about perfect!” – Graeme Swann.

Pretty entertaining I’m sure you can agree. I just hope it doesn’t distract them from doing the business in their semi-final with New Zealand or Australia. We want you tweeting about a win lads!
