    Kohli completes 12000 runs and becomes fastest to do so in 251 ODI and in 242 innings. In comparison, it took Tendulkar 309 matches and 300 innings to reach the mark.
    Let's not forget Tendulkar played 78 innings at the start of his career batting at 5-6.. if he was playing in top 3 from the start we would have different stats for sure.. but a great feat for Kohli indeed. This has been a sh*t year so he can be excused for not being his best. Also his child's arrival might be at the back of his mind too..

    Decent score. Still 30 short imo but without Warner to start this match may go till the end.. also pitch isn't as flat as previous games. Pandya and jadeja have become indispensable in white ball formats.. only if top order too starts contributing..

    Gill looked solid and will improve with chances, I don't believe Iyer will succeed much at this level due to shoddy technique and his temperament ain't great.
    The problem we have is too many accumulators and not many hitters.. to beat teams like England and Australia you need to keep the momentum going.

    They should rest both Bumrah and Shami for next match, injuring them in a dead rubber is just stupid. Even Dhawan should be rested and Gill should open with Mayank, if they want they can try samson also instead of KL and give KL also some rest from keeping. 2-0, 3-0 doesn't matter.
    The stupidity of captain and coach can be surmised by the very fact that even after the drubbing in first match they played the exact same team in next match..

    So, don't expect any wise decisions from these dimwits..

    Rewatched Taj Mahal 1989 yesterday. It is such a nuanced show, brings back nostalgia of the 80s and 90s, the acting is sooooo good, and it doesn't use expletives to tell a story ! 
    The OST is godly. 
    It's becoming my to go show when feeling down or angry. Has a calming effect. 
    The cinematography and color pallettes are top notch.
    They have pulled something really special with this one. Ageless brilliance.  
    Is it streaming anywhere?

    Ya padikkal needs to develop his game, he tires out after 50 runs. Who should they try instead of Saini next, natarajan maybe? 
    Not a bad option to try.. pitches are dead anyway but atleast he can bowl Yorkers at the end unlike Saini..

    Also, Kohli said officially Bcci hasn't provided any clarity on Rohits injury. Maybe he knows what's Rohits true status. Maybe he is in touch with Rohit contrary to the rift report. Kohli is captain, Rohit is VC. They can't be not in touch. But, he can't leak their private talks. It's the job of Bcci to provide official clarity which they have as usual failed splendidly like always.

    Not chasing 400.. Moral victory [emoji13]

    After Village level bowling and fielding I am waiting for Village level batting..

    This should have been a 300 or less chase if catches were taken. But then, how can we ever start a tour on a good note. Not our tradition!

    almost 7-8 episodes into the psych season 1, is it just me or the show is kinda similar to 'the mentalist' ?
    Only similarity is it's about the lead character claiming to be psychic. Otherwise they have absolutely different story lines. Also Psych is light hearted fun all the way and Mentalist gets a bit heavy as you move along. I enjoy both.

    Not sure how I feel. Kind of happened so fast. One second all sweet and then boom...very melodramatic. 
     
    Spoiler

    Spoiler Dean died fighting and Sam got normal life (that grey hair though [emoji38]) but didn't do much. Castiel should have been there. 

     
    That said, 15 years have been quite a ride. Ups and downs. Some crazy adventure. Couldn't have asked for more.
      
    Will miss the boys. [emoji3064]

    Not the ending I was expecting but then writers had to show a proper farewell. 15 years is indeed a very long time for a show to survive. Will do a rewatch for first few seasons soon.

    Apple TV app is not available for X95G. WTF Sony ! Only available for H series aka 2020 models. 
     
    So much for Android TV and app compatibility. [emoji38]
    Yeah.
    I tried adding the app few days back and was surprised not to find in playstore. Then read online it is available only for specific TV models which I feel is a retarded move. Also read Apple may provide it for all Android TVs in few months.

    3 players including Indian and overseas, two RTM cards, so you can retain max 5.
     
    ABD
    YUZI
    VK (Maybe) 
    Saini
    Padikkal
     
    Should be RCB retainers. 
    That criteria was for previous auction. Bcci still hasn't released what criteria will be there for mega auction. Whatever it is I am excited to see who all comes up for grabs..

    And you were saying? :console:  This did not age well at all. MI did what i predicted. Choked the life out of Delhi in bowling and then just dominated in first 6 overs of chase to close the game. After that it was just a formality. 
    Oh wow.. what a prediction man.. you actually predicted which none of us already knew..

    Kidding apart.. MI were clear favourites from the start and they played like it. Won't blame DC much cos they tried as much they could with most players not contributing at crucial times. This experience will help them a lot in April next year. Rabada went out of form in last few matches, Shaw was a colossal failure and I am sure he will fail in Australia too. We need to open with Stoinis next year from the start and need a good middle order bat in place of Rahane.

    Expecting a selection for Rohit in coming days. Test series won't be won, can try to win ODI and T20 atleast.

    Good decision by Bcci. Family should always come first. There will be games always but to be there for your newborn is a memory you don't wanna miss.

    Rohit included in tests and not in white ball games. What chutiyap is that. You don't include your best white ball player in the format which he excels in and drafts him in the format he isn't that useful. Brilliant by Bcci and selectors. That's another case he is in awful form this IPL.

    Without Kohli I don't see us winning the test series. Will be lucky to draw a single test.

    Happy to see DC in finals. Mumbai would rather face DC than SRH since they can easily choke DC out.
    Lol.. another prediction.. yeah, why not... DC is just playing to hand MI the trophy.. do see it's not the MI who chokes in the end [emoji6]
