Instagram versus reality.
Ricky Ponting was impressed with Australia's T20 World Cup squad.
Awesome to see Inglis get his opportunity in the squad, he's been scoring runs for fun and if Ellis is called on it's a great story for how far he's come since moving to Tassie. Overall it's a brilliant squad of players that I think are capable of winning the World Cup. https://t.co/jc0WeLf4Hx — Ricky Ponting AO (@RickyPonting) August 19, 2021
Wise words from Kevin Pietersen.
You have to back yourself as a sportsman. Dealing with just that, is difficult. It becomes way more difficult when everyone expects you to perform. The weight of expectation that sportsman have to deal with, at the top of their game, is the HARDEST! — Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) August 19, 2021
KP also spent 18 holes pondering 100 balls.
Got 18 in this morning and I had quite a few people come up to me and tell me how good the @thehundred is and how much their kids love it. I'm thoroughly enjoying calling it! Eliminators and final tomorrow & Sat. Who's winning men's and women's? pic.twitter.com/DxybxiOwO9 — Kevin Pietersen🦏 (@KP24) August 19, 2021
