I need to pay an intern to mine, top-grade and compile my good tweets and retire from the 240c game. I’m going downhill.
In cricket players tend to retire from shorter forms of the game first (which they also learn to play first; it’s a fifo thing)
Twitter = Twenty20 cricket

Actually, cricketers now tend to retire from 50 overs & long form (Tests, first-class) then do the all-year-round T20 thing. If they’re good enough.
Eg. Shane Watson, AB de Villiers
Weird outlier is Chris Gayle who has come back again via T20 to 50 overs.

Definitely. Huge $ for 3 hrs vs 4 days. Also easier on the body. All about the big hits, no finesse, no concentration, no technique required, etc.
The twitter = T20 metaphor is apt.
