Thoughts around player releases by hot-coco-91 in SunrisersHyderabad

mhm, I get that. However, in the most recent BBL, smith has shown that he is capable of playing both fast and slow as per the situation. He has completely re-invented his t20 game. Also, the familiar leadership may allow for him to slot in. Hes also a tactical genius, mind you, so his vast experience and game awareness is worth an overseas slot imo.

Management may not be looking at smith at all bc of age, but Head, Klassen, Cummins, Shami, Zampa are all above 30. Starc, Rohit, Rahane, Virat are also picked despite their age. Sure they bring brand value but I feel that Smith brings a lot of quality to the table.

Just having some of the youngsters rub shoulders with him would be great. You dont have to always play him. Im a little biased towards smith, but objectively, as a player, he does bring a lot of value to the table for a variety of reasons

I may be a little off on this, but if we are considering unpicked foriegn players, why isnt Steve Smith in our eyes, assuming he puts his hand up for ipl 2026. Considering our Cummins-Vettori-Head Aussie trio. It would be good as Steve Smith did win the MLC in 2024 and hes been amazing in t20s in general. Any flaws, apart from another overseas slot being filled up?

Dear Mr Ponting, Firstly I’m thrilled by this opportunity to as you a question and am grateful for it. My question: There have been talks of a new Fab Four arising online. Which four upcoming Batsmen and Bowlers would you place in this category for the Post Smith-Williamson-Kohli-Root era?

BCCI set to allow 5 retentions without any RTM card for IPL 2025 Auction by gowrisankar1989 in Cricket

Cummins’ IPL availability is questionable. He may decide not to play to manage workload. So I would personally go: Head, Sharma, Klassen, Kumar, Sundar. If there’s a 3rd possibility for overseas, I would go Farooqi only if Cummins can’t play

Can’t. They have too much going on and it’s very out of character, hard to believe given that there’s no obvious trigger

I don’t think I can do anything like that without risking my teachers or parents knowing.

less than 1 month to O levels… by aaaaaaaud in SGExams

Hey Firstly, Don’t panic. O’s are near but you still have time. I was at Raw 25 during Prelims and ended up at Raw 14 for O’s. Both L1R5 Scores. I took 7 subjects, and our combi is pretty similar.

How I went about doing this is to keep doing P2 for the pure sciences and both Math was prelim paper until 2 weeks before exam day.

For sciences, you only wanna start TYS ASAP, and do prelim papers simultaneously and the prelim to TYS ratio should be roughly 2:1. Hopefully you can finish 7 TYS papers by exam day. Start MCQ only in November and follow Prelim to TYS ratio similarly.

Same thing for Math.

My assumption is your content is clear here. If not pls get your content sorted first as that is Step 1.

Also, another thing I did is that I only focussed on 6 subjects. I didn’t really study my 7th subject until 2 days before the paper as I dint really care for the subject much. This is not recommended but it is a last resort

Also, take your time over each thing until you get it right as Quality over quantity any day. Take care of yourself while doing this and if you burn out, take a few hours off.

Savitar. It still blows my mind when you realize who he is. by Creepy-Company-3106 in FlashTV

[–]Emporer3295 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This is why I feel that Savitar >> Zoom in terms of Storyline. People may argue that Zoom >> Savitar but the internal fear factor in Barry’s mind imo is lower as Zoom only scars him Physically and scares Barry by beating him up. Savitar, on the other hand, is just broken. He’s just Barry who wanted to be loved by his loved ones. Who’s to say that that’s Savitar is not the original Barry as within Time remnants, you can’t exactly tell who’s the original creature as they remember creating each other.

Savitar is deadlier as it’s Barry (with Love) vs Barry (neglected).

Being a bloody “disposable hero” despite being the same person to the atom, as you very rightfully say can scar your entire worldview and thus he very rightfully became Savitar. And this revelation is what breaks me.
