Twitter goes mental after Twitter King Jimmy Neesham takes a five wicket haul
Jimmy Neesham, who has been crowned the king of Cricket Twitter, surprised everyone by picking up his first 5 wicket haul in ODIs against Afghanistan today in the World Cup match. Thanks to his efforts, New Zealand were able to restrict Afghanistan to a total of 172. This is how twitter reacted.
Brief scores: Afghanistan 172 in 41.1 overs (Hazratullah Zazai 34, Hashmatullah Shahidi 59; Jimmy Neesham 5-31, Lockie Ferguson 4-37) vs New Zealand.
Lucky folks!
What a retirement plan at Taunton. Buying an apartment, brewing a pot of tea and watching cricket on your balcony ad infinitum. pic.twitter.com/y2w7Zmpvma
