Re: T20 World Cup, W.Indies/USA 2024

Hardik is badly out of form. His batting has gone from slow to slower in the last few years.

Pant has never performed.

Re: T20 World Cup, W.Indies/USA 2024

So, as the WC comes closer, the top 8 batters in the IPL remain: Ash Sharma, Ruturaj, Abh Sharma, Parag, Samson, Dube, Rahul, Kohli Most possibly Rahul will be replaced by the Pant-hype machine. Pant again failed largely against KKR. Bowling impact/Inn: Mayank, Sandeep S., Bumrah, Kuldeep Sen, Harsh...

Re: Indian Archery Thread ...

Our team beat South Korea in recurve men's at the World Cup finals. Korea was more or less full strength. This should help our ranking a bit. Article

Re: Preparing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Not really. He is already there. No need to prepare for anything. Just look at what has happened since he last came. Words are cheaps, results should be what we should see.

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup

Yes. Surprisingly clay, which is at the other end of the spectrum slowing everything down, has done well. To me, this is not a surprise. However much I love to watch volleys, volleys do not win games that much. It was the serve that dominated in the grass court game. That is, players who were natur...

Maybe Ram's body just need to keep playing. :-) He has to find the right sweetspot. Anyway, good luck to him for a speedy and complete recovery.

Re: Indian Athletics Thread ...

Like I said, I would be happy and maybe even remember. Okay, a top-4 is noteworthy. So, I did celebrate Milkha and Usha - well Usha because Milkha was before my times. But, that was then. Now we have a gold medal winner. I understand that you all will celebrate. Maybe I will join too. But, I don't r...

Re: T20 World Cup, W.Indies/USA 2024

The selectors and management, at least historically, love Rahul and Pant. Pant is in form and will hopefully not continue to embarass himself in T20Is. He was a slow learner in ODIs and got better. So, there is always hope. But, with the form Samson is in, let us see if the selectors can or will con...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)

Batting leaders (using BI/inn):

Abhi Sharma, Ash Sharma, Parag, Sanju, Dube, Rahul, Gaikwad, Shashank S.

The Kohli fade has happened. Rohit too. Gill, Tilak Varma, Karthik also not really winning matches although they played some good innings.

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup

Newport never attracted the best of players. Post Wimbledon there is no need to play here. Only specialists who are looking at cheap points and an easy route to an ATP title came here. When Vijay won it, it was still an icon. Today it's lost relevance. Nothing to do with ATP The problem is not very...
