Looks like it hurt really bad in the 1st instance that you came looking for a tweet from a commoner to get back at while devoting 2 tweets. Is the invoice still pending? 🤣🤣

Wow. Didn't realise that the self-esteem of a fierce pace bowler is so timid that he had to come back to a month-old tweet to make a point. And that too when people are dying. Hope you are safe!
