SYDNEY: An American mother with the Twitter name @theashes has become incensed after being bombarded with messages about the Ashes cricket series between Australia and England. The woman, a prolific tweeter from Massachusetts, grew increasingly irritated at the messages sent via the microblogging site over recent days. “I AM NOT A FREAKING CRICKET MATCH!!!” read an exasperated message Saturday, after a series of bad-tempered tweets. “This is not the account of the cricket match,” she wrote earlier. Cricket fans had mistakenly included her Twitter name on their messages instead of #theashes or #ashes, which are used by contributors microblogging about the series. – Agence France
