Love it or loathe it, Twitter is a platform that connects people. Read the five cricket punters and statisticians we suggest you must follow on Twitter!
1. The Cricket Prof. @CricProf
These guys provide cutting-edge information. In a sport where advanced analytics is still not very advanced, these guys are one of few leading the way.
Stuart Broad has dismissed Steve Smith six times in Test cricket at an average of 28.50 but he has only bowled 21 balls to him in this innings – the least of any England bowler. #Ashes

3. The Grade Cricketer. @gradecricketer
Sarcasm, wit and cricket banter. Every punter needs to enjoy the lighter side of their chosen sport from time to time. The Grade Cricketer is right up there with The Suburban Footballer in terms of funny social follows!
Speaking of stranger things.. I wonder if there’s an alternate universe where my dad comes to watch me play.

The leaders in global cricket coverage and content. Don’t expect groundbreaking analytics but it is a good way to stay on the pulse and be aware of team news, interviews, and inner sanctum happenings.
A gripping, tactical, low-scoring session of cat-and-mouse cricket

5. Mark Iverson. @markyiverson
Trader specializing in Cricket who provides good insight and engages with punters. Highly regarded in the space.
Amounts being traded on Betfair for the #BPL this season have gone a bit nuts.
Last season a typical match would get between £6m to £16m
£33.5m matched in 1st game today and already £6.5m in game 2 after 5 overs!
