Cricket Bloopers: When England Cricket’s Social Media Had Too Much Fun

But there have been times when the page admins must have forgotten that they’re not running a personal account, leading to some hilarious tweets. For this, England Cricket’s official Twitter account comes out on top, providing various moments of laughter to the fans with its tweets. Let’s take a look at some of the funniest tweets made by the page admin, which added some fun to the game.

Josh Tongue x Spider-Man

During the fifth Test match between India and England, which is also a series decider, Josh Tongue bowled a magnificent spell in the first innings, taking 3 wickets for just 57 runs in 16 overs. First, he started by taking the wicket of Sai Sudharsan, who nicked the ball back to the wicket-keeper, allowing Tongue to get his short-ball plan working.

Within the next few overs, he took the wicket of India’s best all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, in the same way, which boosted the momentum of England. Amidst this, the official Twitter account of England Cricket posted on their social media, comparing both wickets of Josh Tongue. For this, they used the image of two Spider-Men pointing out towards each other, proving to be the best way to make the wickets look identical.

India vs Toss: 0-5

The only aspect in which the Indian team has suffered a lot in the current India tour of England is winning the toss. With Ben Stokes, England’s captain, ruled out of the final Test, it was Ollie Pope who stood up as the team’s captain. India’s captain, Shubman Gill, had been eagerly waiting for the coin toss to come in his favour, just in the final match.

But unfortunately, that didn’t happen, as Ollie Pope won the toss and decided that England would bowl first. England Cricket usually posts the toss update, telling the fans which team has won the toss and what they have decided to do first. However, in the fifth Test, their official account posted the toss like breaking news, telling the fans that India had lost the toss once again.

Ed Sheeran or Just a Lookalike?

The Test series between India and England has not just been about what’s going on the crease but also about the crowd. We have spotted the cricket greats such as Sachin Tendulkar, Brett Lee, Brian Lara, and even India’s former Test captain, Rohit Sharma, who was present in the final Test in the stands. Among all these spotings, one of them has been the most unexpected, and it was the doppelganger of Ed Sheeran.

Always a pleasure to have @EdSheeran with us at the cricket 😅 pic.twitter.com/NMXiL28SuT

Fans reacted that it was Ed Sheeran himself and started taking selfies with the lookalike. The commentators also laughed it off by saying that even Ed Sheeran loves cricket so much that he came back immediately after his show. At this point, England Cricket also posted on their social media handle, tagging Ed Sheeran’s account with the video of his doppelganger.

Stokes in Trouble, Admin Reacts

The Test series between India and England has been filled with several hilarious moments, but the admin of England Cricket has only managed to react to a few of them. One of them includes the iconic moment between Ben Stokes and Mohammed Siraj, when England was batting in the fourth Test. In a delivery, Stokes was struck badly, and his reaction was also caught on camera.

At this time, when Stokes fell to the ground in pain, the admin of England Cricket’s social media page wanted to gather some prayers for his speedy recovery. A video of Stokes getting hurt in a delivery against Siraj, followed by his screaming reaction, was posted on the social media account of England Cricket, asking the fans to send some prayers for Ben Stokes.

Reply Worth the 10-Year Wait

Jofra Archer, the fast-paced bowler of England, posted a tweet 10 years ago, asking how long it takes to get to Washington. He asked the fans to know about the time it took him to reach Washington City. But the England Cricket admin took the right moment to respond to Jofra’s tweet during the third Test match between India and England. This match was played at Lord’s.

When India was chasing down the target, Washington Sundar lost his wicket to Jofra Archer in just four balls. The admin of England Cricket took the tweet of Jofra Archer, which was posted in 2015, and replied to the same by saying four balls. This was a hilarious reply, although coming after 10 years, Archer must have known about the exact timing to get Washington out.

Pant Misses, Admin Didn’t

Watching Rishabh Pant perform with the bat has always been entertaining, regardless of the ground or team he plays against. During the India tour of England, Pant has not only sent the ball flying towards the crowd but also sent his bat flying towards the fielders, and the admin decided to take it as an opportunity to pull some laughter.

It's all happening 😅

Attempting to play an aggressive shot, Rishabh Pant lost the grip of his bat, which sent it flying high towards the no-man’s land. It was a classic Rishabh Pant moment, as the admin tweeted the video saying that he swung the bat hard, but it didn’t ding the ball. This shows that even the moments of entertainment could be more fun when the admin of the England Cricket decides to step in.

Testing Out Snap Filters

Snapchat has gained a lot of popularity over the past few years, as the admin of England Cricket’s official page tried testing out its filters. In 2019, this application introduced a girl feature, which made even men look like women. With this, the images of six players from the English team were taken, and the admin decided to give some fun to the fans.

The lads have been having fun with the new Snapchat filter! 😂

All six photos were posted together on the official social media account, and fans were asked to guess which player it is. The pictures of England stars, such as Joe Root, but in the female filter left all the fans in splits, as they kept on guessing which one is at which number. Jofra Archer also responded to the same, saying that Ben Stokes looks nice as a girl.
