Prasen, it seems Vihaan is playing in Chiinaa. Yeees!!! More seriously, I am okay with transliterating the two a's in Indian languages to a and aa, although another alternative would be to use nothing for the short a and aa for the long a. In this case, to the best of my knowledge, there is no word...

But he has no need to do PR as most of the Delhiites still believes him!!! To show the rest of the world his strength. Politicians always need PR. Belief and support of Delhites is not a constant. It will fade if someone else shapes the story. He wants to shape the story. I can remember Jailalitha ...

Not really. There is no logic in that. He is the one accused of doing things and he possibly thinks he has the popularity and the money to run a referendum. This is his PR to try to sway people into thinking that he is not guilty, that he will still rule and win the elections even if they convict hi...

There is a small number of people who care about these accomplishments. And, that is fine. All sports do not have the same following. I don't care and don't follow golf and motor sports. That means nothing to the athletes in these events. I don't think they care either about how many people follow t...

We just don't have the data. That is the problem. Only when someone is egregious, then they get chucked out. No reward for those that make the half catches. For example, Gaikwad spilled something that seemed like a half catch. Would another guy have taken it? Did he start a bit late? Tracked things ...

This is crazy. I would burst out in laughter but it is sad. The idiot who ran thought he would doble bluff and not get tested? Stupidity and hubris. Anyway, good riddance to all of these cheats.

Because he is a politician.

Today, terrible batting by Gaikwad, SkAY, and Rinku. Gaikwad seems like a hit or miss batsman. He is very slow to begin with and most of the times he gets out before he scores big. If he scores big, we have a grand innings. I am not a fan of slow starters. I'd rather try NTTV especially since he can...

Seems like somebody somewhere decided that we don't need a sixth bowler. Which leads me to think that they plan to play Hardik as a batter who can bowl and not depend upon him for a full quota of four overs. Axar showed once again that he is not a match winner. lol. Of course. Fantastic bowling by M...

Agree fully except the last part. Axar just won us a match. So that is patently false. I suppose in a make-believe world one can say whatever one wants despite the evidence staring at the face but unfortunately, we need to live in a reality-based world. DLC can and has also. The point is not who is ...

Great bowling by our spinners. They also complement each other. Bishnoi brings the ball in to the right hander and Axar out. Totally crappy bowling by Mukesh and a catch where he sort of obstructed Jitesh. But at least Mukesh did not do a Prasidh. Avesh bowled reasonably well. Aussies also regularly...

We need bowlers. Period. Suyash is indeed a good talent. I have no idea why the team management told Gaikwad to hit out that late. We should have gotten to at least 185-190. This is too easy a total on this flat pitch and not so large a ground again. Basically, when Gaikwad was also taking singles e...

What is the point in giving more chances to Iyer? Shreyas has been slow in T20Is. We will not win a WC with him. Give NTTV a full run even though he is out of form. Tell him what to do and see if he can fix things. Stupidity. Another terrible innings by Gaikwad. Just when you think he can bat, he lo...

I say just play Gaikwad. We have seen enough of Gill failures. Of course, your question is a valid question. I don't follow much of domestic cricket to be able to answer. Maybe RajK or someone else who follows domestics more carefully can opine. I would like to see Rinku in the test team. Move someo...
