“There's so much wrong with this tweet I don't even know where to start,” Neesham replied to the tweet.
It all began when another user asked the New Zealander if he believed the earth was flat. When the obvious answer – “Of course not” – came, this user went on to ask: “Did NASA pay you more than IPL?”
The user attached a screenshot of an article on the web headlined “Flat Earthers claim Australia doesn't exist and people who live there are actors paid by NASA.”
Neesham is leaving for the UAE next week to link up with Kings XI Punjab, his IPL team, ahead of the 13th season of the league, but before he could step on to the field and face a delivery, he had been stumped in the other field he's gained mastery in – Twitter threads.
The IPL begins from September 19 and will run until November 10.
