    Seriously !

     

    Even Gary Ballance was given out in the 3rd test when he did not edge the ball. No one mentioned that on this forum except me. Indian viewers here are too biased. Seriously, screw them for not allowing DRS. They deserve this.

    :lol:

     

    Yeah, lol @ those who still blame umpiring decisions. Umpires are human and can't make all decisions right. DRS is there to reverse a ridiculous decision. The losers at BCCI say it isn't 100% accurate and that is pathetic. It's not meant to be 100% pathetic as we don't want machines playing the game. It's there so that some clear not-out/ out decisions can be given which the umpire missed.

     

    Everyone here remembers how Bucknor robbed India in the India-Australia series where the monkeygate incident happened. ICC has moved on from that and introduced DRS to avoid such poor decisions. Yet, BCCI will never accept it and keep blaming umpires.

     

    Seriously, such a backward thinking to not adopt DRS.

    Just finished this game yesterday on Xbox 360 :majesty:

     

    I have played GTA: San Andreas and GTA IV before and this was for me the most fun GTA out of the 3 ! Trevor was just insane :D

    This is not for me and the person who needs it has had her phone broken so an urgent replacement is required. At least 14-15 hours of battery life is important so that the phone can last the day. I would want the phone to last easily after moderate usage like taking pics on instagram, check ins, facebook, twitter updates, and some light games.

     

    LG has a bad reputation among casual tech people and so the person is kind of repulsed on hearing the word 'LG' itself :\. Had to tell her that Google Nexus is also made in collaboration with LG :P.

     

    Looks like HTC One e8 is worth looking at. Since Google Nexus 5 doesn't have a good display/ battery life, I would have to cut that out from the list. What about the Sony Xperia Z2, as recommended by varunthe best.

     

    Also, thanks a lot for the quick replies guys.

    Guys please suggest an Android phone, budget is not an issue but wouldn't really want something >40K unless it is absolutely necessary.

     

    Priority: great display, very good battery life

     

    Also, would prefer NOT to buy a Samsung phone.

     

    Is Google Nexus 5 the best option?

  15. Halo: The Master Chief Collection

    Part of it yeah. But there were other factors, scoring in objective games (capture a flag or detonate a bomb), your team winning or losing, how you were placed in a winning team or a losing team, what kind of people you were playing against (doing well against people of higher rank than you counted for more than doing well against scrubs).

     

    Bungie never really made everything about the system public. But it was fairly complex system that took into consideration a lot of factors.

     

    Its been a while but I think you could even lose ranks in Halo 2 if you played badly consistently.

     

    Edit Or am I thinking of something else when it comes to losing ranks. Karan (-13-) would know.

     

    One could lose rank even in Halo 3. I loved the Halo 3 ranking system as a really good player could level up really fast but an average player could also rank up if he played a lot and had some decent games. Of course, to rank up beyond a certain degree, one had to be consistently good or just play with some real awesome players :P

     

    This game will be great !

    Thanks Joe :)

     

    Preseason friendly only but good stuff nevertheless. Shame Marco couldn't make it to the game.

    Man, that 4th goal :majesty:. Coutinho looked offside at one point but nevertheless, the passing and movement was fantastic. Great to see Lovren scoring as well. I wish Agger would also stay in the team though. Can't wait for next week !

    Younis Khan is batting on 173* against Sri Lanka in Galle. What a player he has been for Pakistan.

     

    So many changes have happened to their squad but this guy has been a rock in the batting line-up for them. He has shades of Mohammad Yousuf/ Yousuf Yohanna. Consistent and scores on a regular basis.

     

    23 Test centuries in 89 Test Matches with an average of 50+ :good:
