If we lose this series (Which most likely we will) & End up losing in Aus then surely Rohit & Kohli will be shown the door as we know how Gautam is. Also we need 4 wins out of 6 (2 Nz & 4 Aus) so if we lose both series then we will not get into the WTC final.
Gautam should be the first one to be shown the door in that case. We've gone from hopes of a competent showing in Australia to struggling against a far weaker team at home.

Every single home loss since 2012 (except for Bangalore last week) has been on a similar dustbowl. We didn't learn from Pune 2017.

What lund cricket. Why choose to bat in these conditions?
What even is this batting line up? Why is Virat coming 1 down when former opener KLPD Rahul is at 6?

Congratulations Pakistan. If there was an award for dedication to being sh*t at home, you'd be 1st.

Imagine scoring 550+ in 1st innings and losing by an innings.

For NE, consider Sikkim - especially North Sikkim.
Best time to visit would be November and December. You will find snow in the upper reaches.
For Kashmir, November and December will be mostly dry and cold.
Jan and Feb are good months for snowfall.I have already been to Jammu and Kashmir last year, so not planning for that right now, maybe next year.
Sikkim sounds good. I was considering Meghalaya at first. Does Sikkim require ILP? If so how to get it?
What about Andaman?

Looking to avail LTC later this year to either J&K, North East or Andaman. Any suggestions? Best times to visit?

Wife offered an upgrade from HDFC Moneyback+ to Millenia. Worth it?

Wow, what was this

Looking for a phone for wife in the Rs 15000-25000 range. Is the One Plus Nord CE4 good?

Aus vs WI match is also such a nice watch. 60-5 before lunch Day 1 and they have somehow dragged it to the the 2nd day and still batting.

Can we win 2nd test match?
Also lol at England. Their own weather owned them.
They lost because of their own hubris. Declaring too early in the first Test, declaring too late in this Test.

Cummins Calmness is brilliant. Getting results and shutting down people who are ready with pitchforks.
Rohit Sharma said the WTC series should be a 3 match series to which Cummins said - Olympics are 1 match.
When told by reporters that Ben Stokes said he wouldn't have liked a win in that manner ( about the Bairstow dismissal ), Cummins replied "OK."
When asked whether we would see a mankad dismissal in the series, he replied "Depends on how flat the wickets get."
-
What an innings, Ben Stokes.
-
After Bairstow got out Stokes went from 60s to 107* in some 15-20 mins. Just hitting everything for 4/6 and taking single on last ball.
Partnership 50* off 29 balls of which Broad has 1* (8)

They lost 2 out of their 4 matches in the Group stage and then their first match in the Super Six. Points from Group Stage count in the Super Six so one loss was enough to knock them out.

We dropped the ball long ago by not making Ashwin captain/VC.

Cummins has played a blinder. Done what Green, Carey, Khawaja should have done.
-
Such a great match nevertheless. Greatest sport in the world.

How would you otherwise explain their bowling performance today when Australia was 338 for 5 and still ending up trailing by 7 runs?. On such a flat wicket with 30+ over ball, England still managed to take out 5 wickets (although tail enders) with sheer planning, having fielding setup for their plans.
That was very well planned and executed but it still doesn't change the poor declaration decision. They might still win but think of how close this chase has been throughout day and how valuable those 30-40 runs would have been for England.
-
England declared on Day 1 on a flat pitch when they were actually batting well and could have added 30-50 extra runs. Kuch jyada hi maaj hai Bazball ka. I hope the Aussies bat till Day 4 to show them how stupid that was.

Here's what I did.
Flew to Port Blair, took a same day boat to Havelock. Immediately hired a scooty from an agent near the jetty @ Rs 500 per day.
If you want a beachside resort, I highly recommend the east side of the island. Radhanagar beach on the west is nice, but only worth one sunset, not much more.
You can instead spend the entire day chilling at Kala Pathar beach on the east side. The edge of the beach has thick tree cover and beds you can lie down on. There are food stalls nearby that serve good seafood.
In my case I stayed at De Foret which is on the middle of the island. Radhanagar Beach was about 5 mins away and Kala Pathar beach was 20 mins away. Nice pool and food was excellent too.
My first choice was Silver Sands Resort next to Kala Pathar beach but it was slightly over budget. A friend stayed at SeaShell resort and he highly recommended it but it was even more expensive.
