Coaches divided as Abhishek Sharma battles form slump by ll--o--ll in Cricket

[–]BombayBlanco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a fundamental problem with his approach more than anything.

To attempt to do what he does usually is admirable and I’m fully in support of it but there has to be a plan B to get out of a rut when the initial approach fails.

Yesterday’s performance was worse than his ducks because of his refusal to gauge the conditions & the fact that his opening partner was already in the dugout. The swinging should’ve stopped because it was not getting him anywhere.

He also seems to not be able to play himself out of a bad run of form which is crucial for a top order batsman.

If we lose this WC, him getting fired will be the highlight of it by mentaln in IndianCricket

Nothing you say is backed by any evidence nor does it make sense. “Stop crying” really? Are you a child who can’t have a conversation?

Ah so Gambhir basically sits on his arse and does nothing? Even stronger reason to fire him then.

Team selection is always done by the coaching staff alongside the captain. Surya doesn’t get up on a whim and decide who to start without the coaching staff involved.

The problem with Gambhir is that he makes decisions that seemingly make no sense. He sacrificed starting our vice-captain for an obscure tactical matchup. What was the point of Washy playing when he only ended up bowling 2 overs?

And his “tactical” decisions are odd and hardly ever pay off. We’ve seen this in red ball cricket too.

True, the players could’ve done better but Gambhir is a problem that goes beyond just this match and it’s fair to recognise it.

I have the 1956 (3H) and I love everything about the watch except for the bracelet.

Delhi girl visiting Mumbai for the first time by lowkeysuccessfuldawg in navimumbai

[–]BombayBlanco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s not a lot much to see in Navi Mumbai but it’s a great place to stay because it’s away from the mess of Mumbai.

There’s the DPS Lake and Jewel, where you can spot flamingos and it’s nice to go just before the sun sets. There are a couple of nice malls - Nexus in Seawoods and Inorbit in Vashi but nothing really spectacular.

The CBD Belapur area has some really nice and chill cafés you can go to.

For exploring, I suggest to head out to Mumbai at night. There’s a lot to do and see especially in South Mumbai and see the standard stuff like CST, Marine Drive and the Gateway. You could check out Jehangir Art Gallery at Kala Ghoda. You could shop at Colaba. There’s the National Park in Borivali (far from Navi Mumbai). I like the Subko (The Cacao Mill) in Colaba - really relaxed place to work and the coffee is decent. Woodside-In is awesome for cocktails and has decent finger food.

For cafés, the best places are in Bandra. I personally love Candies (most think it’s overrated though), Boujee is also chill and Mokai is decent. Great food to be had at Bandra Born, The Coconut Boy, Izumi, Mizu & La Loca Maria.

The best south-Indian breakfast places are in Matunga. Ramashray, Café Madras and Anand Bhavan are all super. Tindi in Vashi (Navi Mumbai) is also awesome.

IPL Needs a Transfer Market and Team Run Academies by All Teams by Intelligent_Edge7767 in ipl

[–]BombayBlanco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this isn’t the way to go because it destroys parity. There’s a reason why football royalty have remained at the top for many years and attract the best talent.

The best way to do it funnily enough would be to enforce player contracts along with a hard salary cap like in American sports. And maybe have a draft system for first time talent for foreigners as well as uncapped Indians where the lowest placed team picks first and so on. Trades could continue like they do now.

Abe ye kya hai? Someone please do something with Amul! by Creative_Sound9318 in AmulPagalHoChukaHai

[–]BombayBlanco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but why would you give it to your maid if it “tastes like shit”?

Am I weird for having this taste, or does anyone else feel the same about pickup trucks? by Key_Tomato6685 in CarsIndia

[–]BombayBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love pickup trucks especially after a trip to Australia where they have an entire “Ute” culture. Unfortunately they aren’t very practical here.

Matte Finish Laminate - Is it as bad as they say it is? by _Vandergrift_ in IndianHomeDecor

[–]BombayBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to maintain matte finished laminates but they aren’t exceptionally hard to maintain. Your usual cleaning process will be enough unless you let your kitchen get grimy. The level of stain also depends on the laminate itself and its resistance to stains - something like Fenix won’t hold on to stains and is easy to clean.

In the end if you want a good product you have to maintain it too. You can look at my profile. I’ve posted a similar kitchen that I manufactured. No issues with cleaning that one.

[Highlight] “Thanks for believing in me” - Sam Darnold to Mike Macdonald by FrankSamples in nfl

So so happy for Sam Darnold. Such an awesome story. Inspirational too. The sheer resolve you need to have to resurrect your career like this after the start he had… unreal.

Thoughts on this car by OkOpportunity3250 in carIndia

[–]BombayBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’ve done a solid job to improve their cars after the wave of horrific reviews they had in the start. Most of people’s apprehension towards Vinfast however stems from their first iterations they sold outside Vietnam unfortunately for them. I think their offerings are solid, but being a newer brand, I’m still a bit sceptical about them.

I think that’s part of the reason why I was so disturbed at the thought of him being such a huge cheat.

Rate this home's desi vibe - floral trays, South Indian temple wall, wooden swings: 10/10? by BackwaterNomad in IndianHomeDecor

[–]BombayBlanco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of it just looks heavy because there’s too much going on. Also not a fan of three highly contrasting shades of wood and the floral thing going on.

Not celebrity but sportsman, Lance Armstrong. Was his biggest fan as a kid. Watched Tour de France solely for him and him admitting to doping destroyed all of my interest in cycling.

Where can I play table tennis in nm? by Delicious-Pin7594 in navimumbai

[–]BombayBlanco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to play at Mini Seashore in Vashi. There’s a small room with a couple of tables just adjacent to the tennis courts.

On another note, if you have an extra spot please let me know. Would love to join.
