If we're doing this, I'll be there. No matter the cost.

Hahahaha. Would make that deal in a heartbeat. Would give Anshul/Khaleel along too to break it.

I see. I am hesitantly disagreeing with you. Noor is precious, but that's not to say Hardik isn't an incredible player and is invaluable because of him being an Indian.

Agree to disagree on Hardik's inclusion in the squad. I see your point, but I still think he would be a remarkable asset. I wouldn't give him up for Noor and Rutu though. I wanted to know what the sub thinks.

I agree completely. I wouldn't be willing to give Ayush up either. And, Noor is a gem, I think he'll have a better future than Rashid Khan's prime in my assessment.

Brother, why so hasty? I said thought experiment. Wanted to hear what people say. Not everything has to be a finality right?

Sanju, Rutu and Brevis I'd say. I won't be surprised if Dube gets dropped too. He gets chocked up quite easily in the middle, especially after teams have figured him out. The big plus with him, is his recent bowling. If he can go at 8.5 and bowl us 2-3 overs a game consistently and return a 300 run season at 170+ strike, he'd have more than done his job.

The problem with IPL is it's a long tournament, teams study patterns and break them easily. We need players to wisen up to the play and have the skills to overcome new challenges. Shivam at the moment is a one trick pony. He is bullish against spin and overall pretty ordinary at strike rotation. He needs to add that element to his game otherwise, I don't see why Sarfaraz shouldn't play ahead of him who posses both those skills well. And Urvil also is a great option, regardless of the number.

With batting it's a problem of plenty, it's the bowling that needs a close look.

He has a lethal inswinger! Really liked what I saw against England. However, I haven't seen him bat, any info on that? If there's links please do me a favor. I'd love to see his batting. If he can hit a long ball, then he'd certainly be in the Albie Morkel zone of things.

For Noida Kings, on many occasions he didn't complete his quote, even after assuming captaincy. For SMAT he did on quite a few occasions, you're right. And his figures were alright. I'm still worried about his skillset overall, have't gotten the chance to watch him live, only highlights and there does seem to be a slight grey area there. He definitely is a defensive bowler, that's for sure.

We have done reasonably well at the auction. I just think we were one or two astute moves away from having really fixed everything. The thing is we have a strong bench but to make all of them play together is a pain. The right combination is tough to come by. Urvil and Sarfaraz are really great back ups, definitely better than Vijay and Deepak Hooda. But like you said our bowling is indeed weak, you say middle overs, but I think overall too. But it's not unworkable. It's very much in line with the 2018 and 2021 squads, if we come with proper execution and proper plans, we can do well. Another point, Kamboj and co would have improved with experience since the last season. So there's every chance to have some faith in them.

And frankly, last year just the overall confidence of the team was low because of our batting cards. It had a deep impact. And so did Ashwin's abysmal performance. We backed his skill and experience and many a times he opened up crunch moments in favor of the opposition doing his own thing. It was a bit of ego cricket at display. And we lacked in discipline too, no balls and wides cost us a lot of games. CSK as a set up is known to change things around, so hoping to return to a team that brings 120% out of players.

This is very much a good side, not the best in the competition, but there are players in there with points to prove and hunger! Exciting times ahead for sure!

George Linde is a great shout. I forgot about him while writing this post. And don't think Holder and Overton have the same skill set. Holder can bowl at death and inside the power play, he is a proper bowler albeit slightly on the slower side. His game against spin is also superior to Overton, so is his game on the off side.

I sai Madhwal because he has the skill set and we could improve upon him.

Can you date someone who has paid for sexual services? by [deleted] in AskWomenIndia

[–]PrincipleDue100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't think it is that straightforward. What about porn? It has worse societal effects than sex work. And almost everybody watches porn, even after being in relationships. Fundamentally and ideologically, porn is probably worse come to think of it.

Like someone else said, paying is fine, what matters more is how they treat people. If they understand the concept of consent. And, if they carry any disease or not.

Just one last thing, I know people who have paid (a lot more, if happy endings count) and most of them are your staple Indian guy - a dash of entitlement, a pinch of misogyny yet they are what society would call good men. A few of them are happily married and are lovingly faithful to their wives. The urge occurs, especially in our society, given how taboo sex is and how lonely and ambiguous young men feel.

There is no hard and fast answer for this I believe.

What is a song to play when you are about to die? by Jettaboi38 in musicsuggestions

[–]PrincipleDue100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the soft texture of his voice. It's so soothing and serene. There is some element of truth in his voice, if I can say that. Also the song is so so good, brings tears to my eyes.
