    All boards agreed to Hybrid model, whenever india and Pakistan will play any icc tournament, Pakistan will play in Colombo if tournament is hosted in India and India will play in Dubai. 

     

    These sore losers in Pakistan and England are the only ones making big deal about it and they only brought it up after their team lost. So its all planned narrative.

     

     

    Ya as I said they come as loser on both sides, but no doubt there will be lot of talks around it.

     

    Screw it though!

     

    Well deserved champions.

    Bemtlb pe tight kiya end mein,deserving winners though. Well done!!

    Ya but we really need to get better with spinners, NZ beating us 3-0 at home is the lowest of this decade. There spinners did better then us, and today also they choked us.

    Only idiots think it was an advantage. India played in UAE after 5 years. And had India played in Pakistan, their venue would have been fixed anyways due to security reasons. So pardon my french, lvde ka advantage.

     

    Also, copied from Facebook:

     

     

     

     

    "Every new ICC tournament I learn new things

     

    Like how having a set semifinal venue wasn't an advantage for Pakistan in the 2023 world cup but India playing their semifinal in Guyana 2024 suddenly became such a big advantage

     

    Like how having to pick squads for two different conditions is a disadvantage but it wasn't in 2024 when India(and few other teams) had to pick a squad suiting both New York and West Indies

     

    How travelling is a big deal and a 2.5 hour flight from Pakistan to Dubai is a big deal but a 5 hour flight from New York to West Indies wasn't a big deal in 2024

     

    How getting acclimatised to the conditions is a big advantage but it wasn't in 2024 when India played their first game in west indies when others had already played 4-5 games there

     

    India having Dubai as their venue is unfair but having back to back to back WTC finals in England is completely fair to subcontinent teams

     

    On top of it all, even if India travelled to Pakistan they would play all their matches at a single venue due to security reasons, so arguing India played all their games at a single venue when they were always meant to do that is hilarious"

    Nice english.

    No one capitalized on dropped catches, they got out soon after.
    Should be comfortable chase.

    Wicket is not too difficult, 250 is easily gettable.

    Pitch is one of the easiest we have seen in Dubai till now. There is no way we will bottle this up and not win. Will be a pretty straight forward and easy chase.

    Thats why kohli was required in this situation, i would have traded rohits wicket in place for him. He dont let the ball gows dot this much. He knows how to take singles.  

    He has been sh*t against spinners off late as well.

    Vada pav will hit few boundaries and hand over his wicket early as always. 

     

     

    Hopefully Kohli and other players will play sensibly. 

    I am completely in agreement. Though I hope against hope tht he hits a century and signs off from ODI today with head held high. Baki dekhte hain.

    If Vada Pav does not play today, it will be super shameful. This is going to be a tough chase, at this point I am favoring it towards NZ at 55-45.

     

    And all those dropped catches...Captaincy from Sharmaji was sub par. Hopefully some one in top 3 goes on to get a big 100.

    Wow! How did you know this? I just applied. I thought I would never apply any more CCs but LTF for ICICI card, I needed it since lot of offers are not applicable on Amazon Pay ICICI. I am eligible and my company was listed there. I hope it truly is LTF. 

    It is, been having it for sometime.

    I was thinking mainly from gaming and netflix pov, so content will be 4k mostly.  Will need to take a demo at croma:bigyellowgrin:

    If you are thinking from gaming then look at LG QNED it has VRR and 120HZ refresh rate, it was around 20K expensive. Since I would never hook up a console on this tv that two were not my preferences. Also LG is promising 5 year webos updates now, that is also great. LGQNED80. If i was planning to play games, I would have bought this only.

    Do you use an OLED too? How is the PQ compared to oled if you use one? 1.25L seems like a great price for a 75 inch tv

    OLED is definitely much better, but my OLED is 65 inch. The size difference that 75 brings is humongous, plus with android TV the OS is very fast. But you need 4K content, or need a decent viewing distance, 1080P from close (4 to 5 feet) does not feel that great.
