Thanks for the permission. We disagree. Twitter’s for publishing photographs of yourself drinking coffee – as if anyone, anywhere, might actually give a toss about that.

That particular ritual is of course just one part of the non-playing Pietersen’s packed itinerary.

Obviously Twitter’s for publishing pictures of yourself too. This column has two questions about Umar Akmal’s output.

What else can you do on Twitter?Rob Key’s trying to learn about supercompensation.
—
Jimmy Neesham’s using the platform to express his frustration with the assumptions made by modern technology.

Could have been worse, you could have been left entirely flopless.
