    Went through your posting history to figure out that you game only on PS5, once that was confirmed, rest was easy. Used your PSNID on PSNProfiles website to check your trophies and recently played games, saw few Assassins Creed games frequently and most played in there, Valhalla was the next game in line which was not in your trophies history hence a safe bet. You hung out in cricket thread a lot so book made sense. 

     

    Merry Christmas to you and your Family. Happy Holidays :cheers:

     

    Thank you for all the amazing and thoughtful gifts! Wish you Merry Christmas and happy holidays and your family!

    Gambhir & Agarkar are absolutely clueless

     

    Samson was batting well in opening slot. Drops him, gets gill to open in Asia cup. 
    Now Gill dropped and Samson to open. ( Right call imo )

    Rinku Singh played literally 1 ball in Asia cup. Gets dropped. Jitesh come in his place. 
    Samson gets dropped as Jitesh makes more sense to bat lower down the order.

    Now time for World Cup

    Gill dropped, Samson back in opening slot.
    Jitesh dropped, Rinku comes in. 

    Kishan comes in out of nowhere as backup keeper and opener. 


    Team is still good. But this just shows amazing lack of clarity 

     

     

     

     

    I think dropping Gill for WC is a brave call because BCCI/selectors/GG/Surya marketed so much about him being VC and being part of the team before 2024 bla bla bla (personally think Gill did not deserve a spot anyways just like Pant); this decision finally tell me that selectors at least admitted their mistake and corrected it in time for WC. GG is either inline with this or was forced to agree to this. Finally there is going to be consistency at opening with Samson. 

     

    Jitesh has done everything possible however Rinku was always designated finisher and they invested in him almost last two years. Ishan Kishan selection is definitely a shocker (also knowing that he has had disciplinary issues). 

  4. Outstanding test match and series! Simply incredible 25 days in recent times and time well spent! Hats off to both teams to fight it out till the last moment and giving everything they had on the field! 

     

    Despite all the flaws of team selection, not able to read the pitch well, this young team India has done incredibly well by pure resilience and determination.

     

    Shubman Gill with such a huge responsibility on the first tour has done incredibly well even though he has things to learn! 

     

  5. 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.

    Easy to blame the batting coach but our batting has been sh*t for years now. Multiple coaches have come and gone too. Sanjay bangar, vikram rathore etc

     

    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).

    Guess everyone okay with konstas behaving like an a*s as its aussie mentality, when jaiswal does it lot of people lose it 

     

     

    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!

    Why the hell Australia board can't afford Hot Spot, such stupid DRS setup. It seems every time there is a dubious decision, it has gone against us.

    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.

    KL Rahul is the biggest choker in this indian team. He might be in the form of his life but will always fail in crucial match. 

    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).
