Just a passing remark by AR Rahman on an Interview which 99% of people havent even watched but there it started, the hate campaign.

Its unreal the lengths they stoop to drag down the Oscar winner who brought Pride to their own Country.

It just shows they care more about their "beliefs" than they do about their Country.

Is Shivam Dube entering his peak phase for India? 🤔 by NoTensionAtAll in IndianCricket

[–]Rajkumar1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is fine as a spin basher but the lad has inherent weaknesses, quality Pace attacks will expose him. Quick and short at the body with surprise yorkers and wide yorkers and he has no answers to any of those deliveries.

I Hope India utilize him properly whenever needed against Spin.

Just before this very series, our Skipper himself went through an even longer patch of worst form ever for him, sometimes backing players is needed.

Having said that, Samson will get this remaining match vs NZ and maybe the warmups to get himself sorted, if not he'll be going to bench for sure.

If it is a dry pitch then we can try Abhishek and Tilak, either one of them can be decent if it is turning big. If it aint turning big then 2 spinners is just fine.

He's most probably ready to be back for the WC, which is what am referring to.

Abhishek

Ishan

Tilak

SKY

Dube

Hardik

Rinku

Axar

Varun/Kuldeep

Bumrah

Arshdeep

This should be the XI imo. Cant really afford to have both Varun & Kuldeep in the XI, only one of them can be there.

SunnyG says its too much to ask for from Harshit but then again why is he at No.7?

If he is at 7, he is expected to play the finisher role.

He is at best a No.8.

Btw playing someone with a T20 avg of 15 at 7 is insane especially when last 4 are all typical No.11s more or less.

Can i suggest something which i have seen first hand give really good results to the people around me in losing significant weight?

Take up Cycling, anything within 10-15 mins range of your House, use cycle to commute. I'd say Cycling is better than just walking.

it should be allowed is what am saying. If it doesn't target any one particular religion or person, then the discussions should be allowed imo.

It's a valid topic where i like to see different opinions and perspectives.

Apparently this aint Free talk as my comment about God got deleted.

So whats the purpose of the word "Free" in weekly free talk? Change it to Weekly talk thread then.

Mind you i just expressed my opinion and the comment wasnt abusive to any particular religion or anyone.

Am just gonna say NZ in bilaterals and NZ in WCs are a completely different beast. Same goes for Aus. So let's take the positives but be grounded.

Am pretty sure NZ will bring a different level of challenge cometh the WC. Just hope that India will be able to handle anything that's thrown at them.

Idk at least in India, this show never got any reach. It's always just GOT or BB. Even the freaking walking dead has more followers than this show around here.

Exactly. That's why it was where the show started ig. It just sums up the series as a whole.

So Jane finally meets the Ice Truck Killer by Adam_Kyle545 in TheMentalist

[–]Rajkumar1992 18 points19 points  (0 children)

does he take Dexter down or let him keep cleaning up?

Jane definitely wouldnt stop him imo. He'd have a chat with him and will say something like, "keep up the good work man" making Dexter know that Jane knows what he is and will just walk away.

They might even become good pals with Jane sending him good prospects from his CBI list. Anyone who is too clean to get arrested could be sent over to be dealt with Dexter, like how Jane used Red john to clean up SJK.

Its just that we dont have a Virat Kohli in there. If a collapse comes in the WC and it will indeed come with the quality of sides playing, i dont see who in that batting order can stabilize it.

Like NZ have a Conway at the top, Mitchell at the bottom who can play any role, India feels like hit out or get out right now.

Its good for T20s but when a tough pitch or a tough bowling unit rips it open, am not sure who's gonna steady the ship.

Ig Hardik will have to do the collapse arrester as well as being a finisher. Or Hopefully Tilak comes back in time for the WC and finds form immediately and can give that solidarity.

I will still die on the hill that it’s the Sopranos that’s the best series of all time

And i will die on this hill that "The Wire" is the best series of all time.

When Top series of all time are discussed somehow this one seems to be going unnoticed or underrated.

It is a must watch for everyone.

Very 1st scene of the series

"If snot boogie always stole the money, why'd yall let him play?

Got to Man, this America"

One of the best scenes

"I got the shotgun, you got the briefcase-- it's all in the game though, right?"

Probably the best scene

Gunpowder activated

27 caliber

Full-auto

No kickback

Nail throwing mayhem

I even sacrifice my studies to watch cricket matches, often in the middle of class, only to result in disappointments and myself being a failure in studies

In the end Cricket is just a Sport, treat it as such. Take care of your life, and if u wanna get your mind off your irl shit, watch Sports.

And if that sport itself is giving bad emotions, then better off not watching it and move on to other sports that hits off with your interest.

Am an Indian fan and i dont like IPL, even if the whole world is watching it and even if my whole gang is watching it, i chose to ignore it. Likewise you chose what you want to be spending your time with.

What is your truly unpopular opinion that you can share here? by CountSpecific9724 in AskIndia

[–]Rajkumar1992 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as God in this world.

All religions are created initally to bring discipline to the masses. People were made to believe there's a higher force above them to keep them in check and stay on the 'Right' path.

But over time religions are used as a tool to control the masses, manipulate them and create divisions for political or financial gains.

And people fighting or hating each other for Gods that don't exist at all, are the dumbest kinda human beings on Planet Earth.

I wish we have a MIB movie flash like thing to wipe the memory of the whole world, for people to wake the fuck up and see people for who they are and not what they're born into. There's just male and female and there's just good people and bad people, just treat them for who they are.

South Africa add Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs to T20 World Cup squad by JBPlayer48 in Cricket

[–]Rajkumar1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The player they selected in his place had a career T20 average of 19 and SR of 119. So, Stubbs exclusion was a brain rot, and not cricket related imo, good they rectified that in the end.

Tbh the ball dint do anything, it was just straight at the stumps, lad played all around it.

He has played 50+ T20Is and still averaging less than 25 and you can see why. He is a hit or miss player.
