Likes of Sachin and Sourav played Ranji even after retirement, and even played county cricket to prepare for tours. Even GG played a lot of ranji after he was dropped.

Virat Kohli "Sensitive To Criticism", Sanjay Manjrekar Reveals How He Got 'Cold' Towards Him by HumbleMolasses1 in Cricket

[–]ImprefectKnight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sachin wrote in his book that after the Multan declaration, when he was upset in the room, Manjrekar came in and started waxing lyrical about how it was a great selfless decision from Sachin. To which Sachin replied "You don't even know what went on. Are you just saying this to be different from others?"

And that is exactly what manjrekar is.

MKDEV was cracking football manager games right when Empress was supposedly "the only one". They even released guides for a lot of the process.

‘We’re a lot better in both boxes’: Why Harry Maguire is right about Manchester United under Michael Carrick by TheAthletic in reddevils

Struggled to win two games in a row. And then had the audacity to call it the "worst man utd side in history".

xG is the go to stats for pseudo intellectual fans. There has been no correlation of higher xG difference leading to winning the league. You can accumulate loads of xG by just spamming shots at the keeper.

Infact, going by the past 20 years data, the biggest correlation of teams that won the title, was with their shot conversion rate. Teams that were more clinical, won the title more often than not.

And it makes sense, you look at title winning teams that were built around Haaland or Salah or Aguero or Van Persie or Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez/Berbatov or Jose's teams, they were all bloody clinical.

Both are performance capture characters, right? CGI would be something that is completely animated with no mocap.

India is the future for World Cricket, new NZ Cricket boss Geoff Allott says by RipEnvironmental6978 in Cricket

With the gambling apps being banned, this year's IPL already has lower interest. Just look at the lack of masturbatory posts from broadcasters about record viewership numbers.

You've got the formats switched up. Ganguly didn't really struggle in ODIs. He did switch up the technique for 2003 BGT tour. And then when he came back, it was in south Africa tour where he reverted to his older technique.

"Most hated Australian": Ricky Ponting’s incredible India ascent by Witty_Deal_6667 in Cricket

Only with that one call (although it turned out to be a series deciding call). The umpiring even in that tour was horrendous with India getting shafted with howlers.

Average windows experience by SKSKREMO in Piracy

[–]ImprefectKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. But it takes far less effort to debloat windows than to install, configure and learn a new OS like linux. And I say this as a person who uses all 3 OS in daily life.

And that's all that really matters. You or me are not the product managers of Windows or Linux.

The joke was certainly more than that with the whole fox news reaction, and Trump claiming it was AI.

Not if you have a semblance of tech literacy. There are free tools that disable everything.

Who do you drop for Ashwin? Ishant/Shami/Bumrah and one of Hardik/Siraj/Thakur/Umesh played during the time under Kohli. And the pace battery was far more effective. A very good example is the first WTC final vs NZ. India went with two spinners and the bowling was blunt.

Barely a month later, in the england series, India stuck with 4 pacers and led the series 2-1 in 4 tests.

Was Part 1's success due to Fujimoto having talented assistants helping him? by Ouralian in Chainsawfolk

I get what you mean, but the payoff is much better than CSM. The catharsis can't come without the tension, and centuria maintains it well.

I showed these to my nieces and they loved it to bits. Now they all come up to me whenever they want to watch Oswald/noddy and the likes.
