Winning a Futures title abroad is one criterion to start a player thread -- which Samir has now fulfilled, having won a title in Singapore (outside his home country, USA). But I think we should have more stringent criteria for NRI players. And that stringent criteria should be no thread for such pl...

Looks like they are listening to us

Junior boys singles [Q1] W-Rohan Belday (USA, 234j) vs 12-Danial Rakhmatullayev (KAZ, 82j) [Q1] Ronit Karki (USA, 127j) vs Lorenzo Beraldo (ITA, 60j) [Q1] Rethin Pravan Senthilkumar (IND, 107j) vs. 4-Niels McDonald (GER, 59j) [Q1] Kriish Tyagi (IND, 100j) vs. ?? Great to see Rohan’s name in the jun...

Big fish in a small pond or a small fish in big pond. We all like to be the big fish in a small pond.

Indian diplomatic skills are practically non existent. We have penchant for choosing losing causes. I think Indira Gandhi for all her faults was probably lot more smarter and ruthless than any of the other PMs in her forEign policy. Just seems like we don’t have the deep pockets or the smartness of ...

For bowlers it is probably3 to 5 rather than -10. They don’t get as much opportunity to bat domestically

All rounder probably closer to 5.

Another young exciting wicket keeper to keep an eye on.. Aryan Juyal , 22 year old from UP. Uttar pradesh’s third wicket keeper to get some attention after upendra yadav(who is now out of picture) and Jurel. Seems like Saurabh kumar window of Indian team selection is closing . Sarwate is another off...

What was the last armed or even student led revolution in any part of the world that would be considered as highly successful and has led to better quality of life for nation at large rather than just the leaders? Did they also overthrow the supreme court justices that re-instated reservation? Why w...

Looking at Duleep trophy squad! It is a joke. Seems like a squad selected to appease zonal sensitivities rather than on merit Some big performers missing from last year Ranji Indrajit(avg 70), sachin Baby(83), Pujara(70). Seems to be age discrimination Ajith Ram(15 avg, 41 wks), Gaurav Yadav(15, 41w...

I think KL Rahul has a FC average around 55+ if u exclude test matches. His biggest problem is that he is not consistent. His performance in Australia is very ordinary. An average of 20 in 9 innings aided by century in Sydney. If u take away that century his average drops to 10. We have to play this...

Aussies are going allout before the upcomming BGT. India,'s batting position at 3rd & 5th will be in question. S Iyer & KL failed in both of the last away tests in SA. Sarfaraz, Devdutt, Patidar has'nt played enough four dayers in Australia. BCCI should have arranged few A games before BGT....

IOA is probably one of the most corrupt organizations…i think the rule that govt cannot interfere is fair enough if there is no govt funding. IOA should basically kick out any organization that is funded by government if they don’t wNt govt interference. They are essentially getting to have the cake...

Great question.. that we need to ask PKB.

We have unwritten rule in forum. If PKB does not find a player good enough to create a player thread , no one else will open one

Why is celebrating a failed drop shot a bad thing, but it is okay on a ball hit long. U were going for a winner and did not implement it in both cases. Tennis etiquette is strange… We all want Ram to do well and I thought that he would be our best doubles player of his generation. If I am Ram, he sh...

Every female korean archer won the gold first time they competed in Olympics. So in archery experience is overrated. Koreans have very strong domestic tournaments and it is very difficult to qualify for olympic pool from their internal trials. The winners from this trial go thru challenges that make...
