Sport360 pick out the highlights from the sporting Twittersphere with the sporting world taking to the platform to celebrate Mother’s Day and the fallout from Kevin Pietersen’s latest England exile taking centre stage.
It was Mother’s Day in several countries around the world earlier this week and our timelines were flooded by sweet tributes from sports stars to their mothers and wives.
Here are some of our favourites.

Anderson digs deep for fan
An over excited Ipswich fan celebrated Paul Anderson’s playoff semi-final equaliser against rivals Norwich by punching a hole in his roof. Anderson then promised to pay for the damage. Don’t you just love Twitter sometimes?
I’ve just punched a whole in my ceiling when we scored!!! Do I care? No! #itfc #coyb pic.twitter.com/LWKDtrzKfs

Ridiculing #StraussLogic
Andrew Strauss’ decision to (again) close the door on Kevin Pietersen’s England career saw #StraussLogic trend heavily as users of the platform ironically lambasted the former England captain.
I see the head boy is making English cricket the laughing stock again! #StraussLogic

Morning all, after a pretty bad day yesterday I’ve given it a lot of thought overnight. I’m applying for the coaching job! #StraussLogic

“I don’t trust @KP24 enough for him to play for England but I trust him enough to advise me on ODI cricket” #strausslogic .

On #Strausslogic is it possible to be in an untenable position after less than a day in a new job? http://t.co/Dupg7oT0xt
