    Impact player needs to be scrapped. Powerplay three players should be allowed outside circle for first 3 overs and 4 after that. After power play 6 players allowed outside, enough of seeing batsman aligned rules. 

     

    These will make sure everyone just does not try to hit sixes all the time as chances of getting out will increase and they will need to place the ball for boundaries.

    Found it a drag in second half. Me and wife totally lost interest after 45 minutes post interval. While it is a well made movie for sure, keeps you no way entertained like the first did.

     

    Should have ideally finished it under 3 hours and some of loopholes are tough to overlook, but it is ok. As everyone said propaganda is over the top, but that is general media anyway these days so it fine.

     

    Music also does not hit the same as previous movie, though couple of songs do land well.

     

    Both the end credit scenes are well just scenes and honestly add nothing of value.

     

    All in all I think this will ride on success of first, already is actually, but as a stand alone movie is above average at best.

     

     

    I will rate it a 7/10.

    Good win, great to see Kohli his old fluent self. That said it is so sad that the game is becoming so dependent on toss, bowling second with wet ball is making life so difficult bowlers. The way India batted in second innings it felt like it was a different pitch altogether, and again if we had lost the toss, would have felt like 375 would have also not been enough.

    Not sure what can be done, early starts only look possible to balance this out, as it is the game is tilted heavily towards batsman, this makes bowlers look even more pedesterian.

    I have played with a lot of ppl from PC.

    No issues I have heard of.

     

    It’s Remaster of a 10 years old Reengineered Game of a 20 year old Game.

     

    It’s not doing too good on Sales either…..too expensive for it’s old school Value.

    People are missing out, I find the price reasonable, finished the campaign yesterday, total paisa vasool.

    Tough to get slot together, very irratic times to play, plus in between orders come from home ministry

    This is such an amazing fight back and what resilience, one of the best I have seen. Everyone thought this team will be steam rolled, look at them. Gill leading from the front. Jadeja has been amazing, so has been Washington, how do we get Kuldeep into playing 11 now!!

    3 weeks and no one is missing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. This is how great teams play and evolve. So proud of this bunch.

    If only some more sessions had gone our way, we could have been 2-1 up today!!

    Jadeja & Washington, take a bow!!

    Stokes not shaking hands with players just because they wanted to get their centuries, why act this way, you had a great test match yourself! Poms just being salty.

    I hope we end up winning the last one!

    Finally ended up seeing F1 in IMAX last week and it was totally worth the experience. The soundtrack and visuals is abaolutely spot on and captures the essence of story telling to perfection, this is a movie made to be watched in IMAX.

    Other then that I did not go in with much of an expectation, it is a normal movie based on F1 as background, story is as predictable as it gets, as per any hollywood masala movie. Movie veers away from actual F1 in way too many ways. Drivers drinking or partying a day before race, no reference to any Qualifying, blatant cheating, this actually leaves the movie in a bad taste as any new comer to F1 will think this is what also happens in the sport. I can pin point many more things but do not want to spoil movie for people who have not seen it yet.

    That said worth a one time watch and if you have not seen it yet, go catch it on IMAX.

    I am seriously considering s24 ultra. Android doesn't really have any good option despite it seems like there are lot of companies making phones for it. 

     

    Was waiting for Pixel 10 but with weak processor and weaker portrait with exyta 30k. It doesn't seem like a good value to money deal. 

     

    I have been avoiding Samsung because I do not like their design and OneUI. Ultra's design is even worse! Bulky rectangle! Why can't they make something like Pixel or OnePlus. Their form factor is excellent and it matters! 

     

    Anyone using s24 ultra here? Or older devices for more than a year like s23? I heard they lag after about a year or so. Is this still true!? 

     

    It's at 85k right now! 

    Using S23U from 2 years now, 0 complaints, phone runs like butter. If you have some one coming from Dubai. Get S25U, you can get it below 80K

    What would you gain from this? The only thing I can think is that PC with kb and mouse would have better controls and hence advantage but that should be a worry for serious players. 

     

    Can't think of any other reason. Unless I am missing something. 

     

    I am really happy we are gonna get more players though. Gears the only multilayer I play. 

     

    Time to beat @AtheK's a*s again :wOOtjumpy:

    I hope I get time to play this game though, life is too busy these days. Hardly get time to switch on console and playing MP is even more tougher.
