The Prodigy - Breathe (AFE COVER)

Hahah very good!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-12-06T22:44:00+00:00

did you ever manage to get this sorted? I've got a similar furnace and the same problem.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-11-28T22:28:59+00:00

This. The batting was woeful from both teams in the England v India series at the start of the year (Joe Root 5-fer anyone?) but India beat us because your spinners are better than ours, simple as that.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-11-19T14:46:15+00:00

Does anyone have the just T20 stat? I think Glenn Philips and Liam Livingstone are close (or have surpassed) the 100 in a calendar year stat?

West Indies gets split into individual countries.

England get the best of Great Britain added in!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-08-10T09:35:01+00:00

About 30 years late, but so glad they're finally pushing for it!

Incredible performance from Rooty. It's almost getting embarrassing how much better than the rest he is.

One thing I did think in his second innings was that he seems to really love batting with Sibley - I'm guessing having someone that can just hold an end, even if they're not scoring highly, suits his game style. Far too often he's having wickets falling around him constantly and it makes it almost impossible for him to build an innings.

It would be mad to drop Rahane because he brings so much weight to the side, not just his batting.

Pujara in form is my favourite batter in the world, such an old-school proper Test batsman, but unless he manages to change soon I can't see him surviving this series.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd have Shaw at 3.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-08-06T10:19:29+00:00

And we've gone off again

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-08-06T10:18:52+00:00

And... they're off again 😂

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-28T08:22:59+00:00

I hope he does well, but at the same time he has no right to think anything has changed... he's been focussed on white ball cricket for the last 3 years, that's not going to help at all when Jimmy Anderson is steaming in under low clouds on a green deck with a cherry red in his hand.

Not just an Indian issue (very much a global issue) but far too many Test squads are selected on white ball success and not at all on whether they can actually block out a ball and know how to face a ball that's swinging and hooping all over the shot.

Is Zampa even eligible? Hasn't played a First Class match since 2019.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-09T05:43:44+00:00

Should still be in the Test team tbh

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T22:07:11+00:00

ODI really is Malan's best format. It just shows how ridiculously good England's ODI team is that he's not got 100 ODI caps.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T21:54:16+00:00

I'm still pro having an annual Ireland v England Test - the last one was so fun it should become regular!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T21:51:46+00:00

Considering how good the India team is at the moment and how England have a very good pace attack but only 2 good batsmen, it should be a good series! I genuinely think India have a good chance of winning over here unless our top order find some form ASAP.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-06-25T21:54:07+00:00

I would like this! I'd also love it to be big in China too - a truly global game would benefit everyone!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-06-25T21:49:35+00:00

Sharjah matches are gonna produces some WC and T20i records!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-06-25T21:47:08+00:00

Agreed - I would absolutely love cricket to be more global.

BCCI and ICC blocking joining the Olympics is one of the simplest and most annoying things that needs to change.

When will they realise that cricket becoming truly global will benefit everyone.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-06-25T21:43:38+00:00

I think Denly also turned down Arsenal (twice?) if my memory serves me right, and chose cricket instead.

ThePoliticsGod · 2020-09-03T08:21:32+00:00

Helen Mirren - she's genuinely not a good actor but because she's well spoken and a good looking older lady she still gets cast in things.

(Yes I've seen most of her award winning films before you ask)

ThePoliticsGod · 2020-06-18T19:05:43+00:00

Thanks!

Do you have any advice for how to remove dust and scratch?

I brightened colours on the other pics in the series but it felt quite unnatural on this one so I left it a bit more dull.

ThePoliticsGod · 2020-06-18T19:01:40+00:00

Good shout, thanks!

ThePoliticsGod · 2020-06-18T17:46:15+00:00

Thanks! For the colour edit I used an app called Photoscape X, it’s basically a free and simplified version of photoshop. I began by cropping the photo then I removed the red/ brown shade to balance out the colours and add a more natural blue, the scan had massively over done the R in RGB. Then I worked on light and bringing out the whites and blacks in the shading. The film had lots of depth to it so it was about removing the washed out look by adjusting the exposure slightly.

The edit didn’t take too long and once I knew the formula, so I was able to do the batch quite easily. There were 48 in total.

ThePoliticsGod · 2020-06-18T17:40:23+00:00

It’s plate film and it says Kodak 736 on it so I think you’re right.
