A plague tale: Innocence COD: MW2 Campaign Remastered

Excellent background score! From the trailer it looks like the game release date is in 2025 but the game may not release this year.

All this while senior players used excuse themselves from domestic and some international matches (with weaker opponents) by giving the reason that they are playing too much of cricket however since T20 WC 2024 final; they have played three ODIs in SL which they failed miserably and 10 test matches which roughly translates to 53 days of cricket + 15 days of travel and 15 days of pre-series preparations (assuming this was even done for Ban and NZ series) so there was no excuse for Virat or Rohit to not play domestic but instead they chose to go to London and Kapil Sharma show.

Of course the first blame is always with players but the coaching staff also needs to be made accountable and it also includes the past coaches too. To be honest though not just India but batting has been sh*t for rest of the world from 2020-21 onwards. It has been mostly individual contributions or flat pitches where the runs have been scored but eventually other countries are slowly getting better but Indian team is yet to catch up. This is not the excuse though because there is no effort to get better or grind it out. The reason I blame coaching staff is due to how Sarfaraz was being handled, even though he is supposed to be great player of spin but the way he was managed and constant changing of his position had messed up his game during NZ series. He was the same guy who made double hundred on a tricky pitch a week before NZ series started despite the personal issue he was going through. One thing Dravid and his coaching staff did really well was to give clear messaging and handling of youngsters in the team and this came from his experience in NCA and U19 coaching. I don't think current coaching staff has any experience in such scenarios ( I don't consider their IPL coaching as experience).

BCCI never does that unfortunately! Not sure what is the role of the support staff though! Batting coach is not able to inculcate an approach!

Looks like that behavior of his has already riled up entire Indian team. Nitish literally ran from slip towards Konstas. There is going to be huge celebrations tomorrow once he gets out, if it happens to be Bumrah. God save him!

It needs to be agreed by both boards and it's highly expensive compared to other technologies. In fact BCCI opposes Hotspot TECHNOLOGY. Cricket Australia is the only board which used Hotspot technology extensively.

Really a brain fade moment and providing an opening now. 3 gone already and still 27 overs to go

This became true however he got really good ball to get out. Even though he has choked a lot in the past but in tests when he puts efforts he has been better (specially in SENA countries).

38 overs. The light seems to be holding up so mostly all of these overs will be bowled.

Wached Mufasa in English, it turned out to be decent prequel. It didn't require 3D treatment just like many other movies.

I didn't mention Rahul simply because I assumed he would hold one end up for others to make runs. Like what Pujara used to do! There is no way India is surviving the match without KL's contribution. I hope Rohit goes down the order and Rahul opens.

SA won the match! What a turnaround. Feel bad for Abbas though the way he bowled after coming back. Draw looks like the only positive outcome for India. The Indian top order is horrible, it would be a miracle if they survive first 30 overs. Unless Pant, Reddy and Washington play a blinder along with Jaiswal, the possibility of a win is minimum but there is a high probability that India will lose this match before tea. If they are smart (which they are not currently including the coach in that dressing room), they should aim for draw and hope for the best!

Glad you like them all! Happy new year wishes to you and your family!

Yeah it seems weird that he tried that shot even when they was fielder. The situation demanded playing out overs.
