Ged sent us a photo of Clive showing extreme indifference to the arrival of Shivnarine Chanderpaul at the crease.
This was during this season’s Essex match, so we asked Ged whether there were any signs of life in response to Shiv’s almost immediate departure.
Ged said: “Very similar lack of reaction to Shiv’s almost immediate departure.”

This plucky fellow was observed in the Lower Compton Stand at Lord’s, very close to the historic concrete step where King Cricket demonstrated his “Real World Skills” in 2016.
Perhaps this spider’s magnificent web is an arachnidian equivalent of a blue plaque, commemorating King Cricket’s astonishing feat…or merely the fact that King Cricket once sat there. A rotund specimen, this – a veritable arachnoid Dwayne Leverock. Take a closer look; magnificent.

Try as I might, I was unable to get Tigger to show the slightest interest in To-Ro-Jo’s debut destruction of the Saffer top order – in fact she positioned herself as far away as possible from the action, atop a throne of recently used but as-yet-unputaway guest bedding.
She may have realised it’s only the highlights, or perhaps it’s because, as a Scottish cat, she considers cricket a sport for southern faeries. Perhaps she’ll spring to life should we catch a glimpse of Vermin Philander or Catgiso Rabada…

Tom in Keynsham writes: “I know it’s not the usual thing, but it was noteworthy that our cat Olive took note of the cricket for the first time in her two-and-a-bit years on this planet during the emergence of Toe Roe-Joe.”
Don’t worry, we’ve already commended Tom on providing a photo that includes not just a cat and some cricket, but also Prosecco and a table saw.

I can offer no explanation as to why Moggy is even trying to pretend she’s not watching the match, seeing as she’s a staunch England fan (named after Eoin Morgs).
During the match she frequently yelled at Bairstow “I can’t believe he’s not Buttler!”
And yes, she uses her amazing powers of speech to make bad puns while watching cricket.

Recently my friend acquired a budgerigar, named Amigo.
The second photograph I saw of said budgie was this:
Crammed himself into his feeder. An Australian species of parrot, wearing the green-and-gold, with David Warner’s intelligence. Could you get more of an obvious Australian fan?
I asked my friend to provide a picture of the budgie’s reaction to some Aussie cricketing news, to prove it.
Results so far are inconclusive.

These are my two labs, George and Rufus.
They’re just over one year old. I’ve been meaning to introduce them for a while but I’ve been busy.
Anyway, their thoughts about Gary Ballance being dropped are difficult to ascertain.
They simply don’t appear to be interested.

As is customary at times like this, cricketing greats of the past must come out of the woodwork to pass opinion on the breaking news of the day. Therefore I found it necessary to consult StraussCat regarding the retirement of Graeme Smith.
He wasn’t particularly interested when I told him the news, but his indifference reached a peak when I showed him all my match tickets from the summer Indian Skimmer and I spent following Graeme Smith around England.
Look! There’s even a South African lanyard he could have played with, but he chose to ignore it.
He got up and walked away when I told him that the Test match ticket was for the day before Graeme scored his awesome 154 to win the series.
