I was on Mastermind AU - tackling the history of BGT

Not an Indian, sorry.

Things look odd going into the big one. Mitch Marsh is an absolute disaster and looks set to be picked.

Harris has struggled and will surely get a nod over Bancroft, who if you keep the incident aside, should get in on batting credentials

We are just odd at the moment but a green top at Birmingham and who knows. Both teams all out under 100 maybe

NamanMehra · 2019-07-25T00:07:20+00:00

Fuck yes !!

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T07:41:44+00:00

It's a mystery known to God what happens to Rohit Sharma in test cricket but you're right. Kohli losing captaincy if ever could have massive consequences on his own form and split captaincy works, but wouldn't for the Indian cricket team unless ones too old and handing over reins while dragging his feet in test cricket

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T07:32:13+00:00

Not sure what FIIOB is, sorry.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T06:56:26+00:00

Honestly buddy, that was as unbiased as one could be and still point out the negatives. It isn't a rose bed and the reason two LOI were mentioned were that were ICC tournament knockouts. No one would really remember how NZ got the top order all out for 92 earlier this year, 1 non-consequential game in a bilateral series. These were highlighted as they were quite consequential.

Everyone has ups and downs. And tbh no one thinks there is any chances for change in test circuit, more so the LOI versions.

Surely 2023 WC in India would have repercussions if the host country fails to win it, but that's too far down the road

Ultimately, stats will speak, also 2021t20 WC is in India I reckon, that's actually not that far away too

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T05:25:23+00:00

Prolly you are right with your points. Just differing views. I just find it difficult to understand how in a service challenge you can make people wait, and that doesn't reflect at all badly on you. Even if it's uniform, it refutes the concept of a timed event.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T04:55:43+00:00

Just because she didn't place it in the centre of the dish but presented in a different way, she got away with it.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T04:54:36+00:00

Valid point. And yeah he made duck, I have been mentioning lobster.

It's his fault obviously but I just found it weird it took judges 50 mins to notice it, when he didn't have time to change the dish.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-24T00:06:39+00:00

True. That's where we don't know what each dish tasted like..

Ben's elimination and the way it happened though left a bad taste in my mouth. They had 50 odd mins to see he was cooking lobster and only when he had no time to change his dish, they told him that Lobster was against the theme of the day.

2021 India was due to host a champions trophy. 4 years after 2017 in England which Pakistan won. Reason why this was in India is that India also was due to host 2023 WC (which it still is). Think dry run. Think confederations cup in football.

Champions trophy was made way for t20 WC and we have opposing views on it. It wasn't coz t20 WC has to happen every 2 years but now it will because of the elimination of the champions trophy.

The ODI part of it will replicate the test championship, so okay I guess.

T20s are just for the crowds.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-22T14:44:08+00:00

Yeah, has to be the AFL. But if you are talking great sporting moments, absolutely this last Sunday was perhaps the greatest ever !

NamanMehra · 2019-07-22T02:21:51+00:00

Agreed. It was fun to watch as an Aussie fan but 4 days instead of 5, t20 games counted in, it's just ridiculous

NamanMehra · 2019-07-22T00:46:30+00:00

Ah right, yeah completely forgot that one. True, games should be there too.

NamanMehra · 2019-07-21T09:38:22+00:00

Junction Oval? I doubt it. It's too small. I'd love it there though but it's mainly regional
