Who is cricket's Twitter king?
The Ashes is one of sport's fiercest rivalries, but this series another one's bubbling (or bumbling?) along very nicely -- it's Jonathan Agnew versus David "Bumble" Lloyd on Twitter. (Or, if you prefer, @Aggerscricket versus @Bumblecricket).
The BBC's cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew has been twittering on all things cricket, with the latest on the TMS cake intake, Vic Marks' sartorial elegance, and CMJ's trials with technology (laptop problems at the start of the test, phone in bits by the second day).
But he's facing a challenge -- from Sky's David "Bumble" Lloyd -- who gives regular updates from the commentary box on his curry, naan bread, and ale intake, the lunch habits of his colleagues... and a bit of cricket as well. Bumble's now got more than 14,000 followers (that's... ahem... twice as many as Aggers).
UPDATE:
They joined us on air on Sunday morning for a twit-off... Have listen back to the results:

5LNPI: Is Katie Price our creation? 23 Nov 09
10:14 Mon, 23 Nov 09
Katie Price - or Jordan as she's sometimes known - has walked out of the TV reality show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. She's complained about the public picking on her all week, and she genuinely divides opinion. So is she our creation? Does she simply reflect us?

The man formerly knowns as Half Blood Prince?
I mused on that when seemingly asked my "world view". Or was it my possible new family members "world view" being assessed in Italy?
But I am on this site and have been for years - Twittering away - unselfconsciously I thought - I am nearly 60 - a life lived not in solitude - so if I am otherwise - not a saintly, kindly idiot - lol - I am taking my time about it.
I suppose I am fully formed. You decide.
"Watching" our England cricket team on my radio televison - I was told gloves and a physio were brought on. Even Simple Simon tutted on another radio channel.
Waste time why don't you? Not fair I mused. Play up and play the game. The cricket team hung on to achieve a draw but that gamesmanship tactic - has given our opponents a beef - until we kick their collective butts at Lords beginning this Thursday. It was suggested they - said opponents may have done the same in our place but that aint the point is it?
Assuming a win at Lords for the home team?
Forget the "75 years" without a lost there Australia - I'm determined onnit! And my broken bat is ready - Howe's zat"
Sorry Clive of James but I have an issue with Oz! lol
So my world view is all over the WWW. Might I suggest that far from bringing out gloves and pysios - someone has trooped out a whole line of "Tiller Girls" to distract from something?

I will not comment on the above item. I wish a few more people would - what was it my Uncle use to say "Bags of hush!"
John Le Carre? Wow. I thought a few days back but did not bother. Little Drummer Girl? Nice. How many playing in Brum yesterday? 600?
Now get that lot to support the Barmy Army at Lords and we are sorted. Ear plus anyone? lol
