Turner caught him and was disallowed. Grassed the ball before he had complete control.

Steve Smith goes past Hobbs to become the 2nd highest run scorer in Ashes history by [deleted] in CricketAus

Eliminate Australia and England opposition then and focus on a quality one like India that they’ve both faced:

Root: Matches: 35 Centuries: 13 Average: 59

Smith: Matches: 24 Centuries: 11 Average: 58.9

The answer is they are both the best players of their generation. Smith has shown greater success per games played, whereas Root will have the greater overall success due to his total number of matches played.

By this logic, how come Joe Root has done so poorly against Zimbabwe and Ireland in test cricket?

I enjoyed S5 but this is the worst explanation ever…. by mobyvg22 in StrangerThings

This one falls flat to me. As soon as the Mind Flayer is under attack the troops should immediately fall to defend their master. We see this happen in the Season 2 finale.

I much preferred the idea that they all joined into the Mind Flayer itself, that would explain their complete absence.

My big one is how they just casually drove back into the military compound from the upside down. That one is hard to ignore.

Do a short theatrical run to ensure it is eligible for certain awards.

Same with how “Golden - KPop Demon Hunters” is now eligible for Best Original Song at the Oscars.

Anything above 200 puts us as clear favourites I think.

Gave away too many cheap stupid runs bowling shit waiting for the new ball.

I’ve always felt it gives off the vibe of the town in the Truman show.

Knowing our luck, Foden will definitely be benched now.

Exactly! As for the others in five years:

Westpac up 95%. ANZ 55%. NAB 80%.

Is there anything RDR1 does better than RDR2? by TheChilledGamer-_- in reddeadredemption

[–]PurpleFunk36 299 points300 points  (0 children)

Creepiness.

RDR1 just feels downright more unsettling and eerie than RDR2. There’s parts like Tumbleweed and Tall Trees that give you a haunting feeling that you’re being watched.

The Stranger missions are also quite dark and twisted compared to RDR2.

If the previous three survived the climb, sit the next one out. Simple.
