  1. WI in white ball isn't a minnow. I hope this resting key players before World cup won't come to bite us as usual. Although I already have very low hope for WC. We are still playing T20 like it's 2010 and others have moved way ahead.
  2. All said and done it's so funny how English media is portraying this 4 test stuff fondly known as 'Bazball' the great resurgence. Conveniently forgetting they are playing at home in conditions highly favourable to them. Yes they were excellent in chasing but pitch was flat, Indian bowling only had 2 genuine threats, indian catching was below par and Indian top order has forgotten how to win matches since sometime. The media has started saying Australia should be afraid of England now in ashes which is so laughable when we see England's record in Australia or even Root's record in Australia. Let these guys win like this in Australia and India ( 2 toughest places in world cricket for a visiting team to win, especially India) and then I will agree this Bazball stuff has created a resurgence. And our team needs a resurgence as well. I had high hopes from Dravid but sad to see it has been a disappointment so far. Win or loss goes on but atleast make correct team selection.
  3. India had many issues this game - Fielders dropped too many catches. Didn't bat well at all in 2nd innings. Bowling barring shami and Bumrah was mediocre. Should have played Ash. Our openers were missing. Gill is useless against moving ball. Kohli should be dropped. Iyer can't play short ball to save his life. Vihari doesn't know how to score and only defends and has such low range of shots that he doesn't even looks like a top 5 batter. On a flat pitch against England in their current form India needed atleast 550+ to defend. Only few positives - Bumrah Captaincy and bowling was good. Liked his calmness especially with DRS. Pant and jaddu batting was absolutely brilliant. Pujara is back to his fav position and in some decent form. County did help him. Shami bowling was outstanding. Only if he had some luck on his side.
  4. Tom Cruise on a Sunday.. Nothing else to see.. ?
  5. England looks like winning comfortably. Our support bowlers have been a big disappointment. Should have played Ash. Anyways..
  6. Should have played Ash instead of Thakur.
  7. I think we should have crossed 400 lead. Not good batting in 2nd innings. Pitch is still flat so England has a very good chance.
  8. On a side note Vihari isn't cut out for test level. I have seen this with him a few times now. He has very limited range of shots and gets stuck at one end not knowing how to make runs. People compare him with Pujara but Puji has every shot in the book and once he is comfortable he doesn't get out and makes it count.
  9. When Dhoni can't stop playing cos of fame and money do you really think Kohli will. Sponsors won't let him. He is still a really good saleable brand in advertisement. Only way is if Selectors/bcci grow some balls and drop him for a series. Just like pujara was dropped. Or he retires himself which again I don't see him doing at 34. His International white ball form is fine. Considering WC is in Australia, his favourite place to make runs i don't see him being dropped. Especially with Rohit so much injury prone and missing matches like anything along with KL. Even SKY is getting injured a lot. Team will need some senior experienced guy. It's amazing i Enjoy watching Puji bat as much as I enjoy Pant batting. I wish Puji makes a ? today. Only true test player left in the era of Bazball.
  10. f**king Dukes ball. Changed 3 times. And then kohli got an unplayable and then it started swinging like crazy. Glad to see Puji getting his mojo back at no.3 and Pant smashing again.
  11. Stats dont matter. Current form does and England with their Bazball strategy can be all out under 200 or chase 350.
  12. Nope. With England and Bairstow and this pitch we need 400+ in total. Gill can't play moving ball. He worked in Australia cos there it doesn't moves as much.
  13. The Terminal list I had low expectations considering the story premise isn't a new one. But, they have done a very good job. Production values are solid and Chris Pratt has delivered the best performance of his career. Only wish Taylor Kitsch had gotten more screen time. Such an underrated actor.
  14. Agreed. That's why I said selectors need to grow balls and rest him or drop him for sometime till he gets his mojo back. Sachin was something else. He and Jimmy are in a league of their own. To play for such a long time and still be on top of your game is 1 in a million. Maybe kohli should spend sometime with him and learn how to make a comeback. Ofcourse by keeping his ego aside which is tough for someone like him. Anyways, not our headache. I want Sarfraz Khan to get a chance next series. That guy has been rocking Ranji and deserves a chance. Cos Shreyas in SENA country is a big if considering his apparent weakness against short ball. Kohli rested/dropped and Sarfraz at 4. No harm in trying. Bumrah should be the permanent vice captain now . I don't want Pant to be Captain or Vice captain. Just let him bat cos he is a generational talent and captaincy will definitely screw up his batting style.
  15. It helped with the rain breaks. Quite impressed with how Bumrah has lead on so far. Honestly the bowling was so good I even forgot we have Thakur also to bowl ? It's a travesty that Indians never regard their champions. I talk with lots of foreigners on Reddit and they regard him so highly. He has made 70 International centuries and is on no.3 of all time. Still averages 48+ in all formats inspite of his lack of form. Made this test team what it is and this pace attack what it is. And people make fun of him like he is a Karun Nair. It's on selectors if they can't make him rest or drop for his lack of form. And he dropped a catch which wasn't a sitter, who doesn't.
  16. Root falls they will collapse.. just need 2 hours of continuous play.
  17. Broad wasn't satisfied with his 36 runs in T20. So he decided to give 35 in Tests. What a Chad ? Bumrah was fantastic. Only if Siraj had any brain cells to rotate strike the fun could have go on longer. Sir with a well deserved 100. Easily the best all-rounder in the World without a doubt. Oh ya and Shami and Bumrah plays short ball much better than Shreyas ?
  18. What a partnership. Was expecting some runs from Thakur but he got a good ball.. Hopefully jaddu gets a 100 tomorrow and we get closer to 400.. Pant was brilliant.. if we win this then this knock will be equal to the Gaba heroics..
  19. You won't be disappointed. The mystery is quite gripping and has decent actors. Seconded. It's not underrated. Was praised a lot on Redditt when it came out.. Second is already greenlit so lesse..
  20. Pant has been a great find in tests.. Such audacity and swagger .. Never seen anyone else charging Jimmy and hitting him for a boundary.
  21. Manifest is now streaming on Netflix. It's a good show if you haven't seen it yet.
  22. I played it a lot and now it's on backburner since PS deluxe subscription. Still play it when more events are launched. Have stopped playing daily races as Penalty system is sh*t and too many Ahole drivers ruin it.
  23. I stay in Faridabad but this is true anywhere in NCR. As per reviews Samsung M53 has good camera set up.
  24. True. I downloaded them first day itself. Also just added Man of Medan through ps app.
