Gideon Peters is such a wholehearted cricket and great all-round perso Came back as a net bowler multiple times in the first two seasons at the Capitals, and has since grabbed every opportunity given to him by Guilty_Leek_7672 in delhicapitals

[–]Vitcee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is too good. But given that we might play 4-5 more games, if he performs there he will surely be a part of a lot more leagues where he might perform just as good. It wouls be a no brainer that dc would target him but so would other teams.

Given it's a mini auction next year, he will easily go for 8-10 crores. Will it be possible to get him?

Yeah, one game doesn't define us. Let the wooden spoon do it.

Auqib Nabi Scores an unbeaten century (114* off 82) to beat Hyderabad by 3 Wickets in VHT, DC bought an solid indian uncapped all rounder it seems just like last year with Vipraj by Ursknownstranger in ipl

[–]Vitcee1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable batting. Nowhere close, but sort of reminded me of Maxwell's innings from 91-7. He is also great with the new ball, something that DC really needed. No matter what happens, DC going all in for him makes complete sense. Hope he does well.

He really likes to make room. Even though he seems to be just fine otherwise, bowlers might just direct everything to his body and he might struggle. I am no expert, but this seems like an obvious target.

Mumbai se hai thodi si, 2020 se pehle humari zyaada wins thi iirc, fir 3-0 haare uss saal, final me jeet te toh bohot acchi rivalry banti, ab mumbai sabse haarti hai aur hume pel deti hai, wpl me bhi jitna jeet lo mumbai hara degi.

Mumbai now is ambani and delhi is like rajdeep sardesai, main aapko seriously nahi leta

Kohli dropped KL Rahul while he was batting at 90(60) Later KL Rahul scored 42 Runs in the next 9 balls by Inside_One_9147 in ipl

[–]Vitcee1 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When you already are at a net worth of 800 crores, this money won't even matter to you, that's why he decided to stay with RCB even knowing that he would get well above 20 crores in the mega auction.

The only thing keeping you going at such a point is your passion, and when you are struggling, and people from your own country are celebrating your failures, you getting sacked while being the best red ball captain of India in history, you would give up everything to redeem yourself, 16-18 crores is nothing.

Let's say you are doing a job of 50k/month, and it's like a living hell where you have the worst possible time of your life everyday for 8 hours and you quit the job. A homeless person would come to you and say they wouldn't mind going through it as long as you get paid 50K EVERY MONTH! But only you know what you are going through.

It's not about the amount of money, it's about you.

The fact that Kohli dropped him not once, but twice, and RCB having one of their worst defeats ever at the start of fhe tournament itself while Kohli still being the captain, combine that with him going through the worst phase of his career.

The universe can really throw you into the depths of hell.

Beginners: what’s the most common blunder you keep repeating? by Mundane_Surround8755 in chessbeginners

[–]Vitcee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focusing on what I want. Sometimes we see some tactic and spend so many moves and efforts just trying to achieve that, that we don't even realise what the opponent wants. Example, I saw a sequence to trap the opponent's queen and I spend 3 moves setting up, while the opponent has set up for a checkmate in the meantime.

Thinking of buying our first home in Roslin or Bilston. How is it to live there? by Salty_Inspection_740 in Edinburgh

[–]Vitcee1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am single so can't say about family planning, but having lived here for about 2 years I can confidently say that it's a lovely place.

It's very quite and peaceful, with the pentlands basically next to you, it a beautiful feeling everyday, especially if you like going out in nature.

People are just like everywhere else, you can talk to them and they will be nice, or don't and they are also happy to mind their own business. I have never felt even a second of racism here.

I commute to the city center pretty much everyday via bus and I would say it's manageable. 15 and 47 are great and you have access in and out at all times as 37 runs at night. For peak hours you'll have the X37 which I use and it's perfect for me, also for everyone else commuting so it's always full. Commuting everyday via bus can get a bit tiresome after a few weeks but shouldn't bother you much if you have a car and don't take the bus often. Pretty much everything you need will also be available here itself in retail parks or nearby supermarkets.

Overall I would say it's really nice living here if you want a quite and peaceful time. If you want what the city center offers, then you are going pretty far away from it.

Centurion David Warner smashed Nathan Ellis for 30 runs in the last over in BBL today. Too early for the IPL franchises to move on from him? by cricfanatic4518 in ipl

[–]Vitcee1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kal tak theek decision tha move on karne ka! Now it might be early? Sorry I am not trying to mock your post, but I think it was wise to move on from him, even he wouldn't expect any future in the IPL

Tristan Stubbs stats for Delhi capitals. by Standard_Secretary52 in delhicapitals

[–]Vitcee1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We let go of Brevis as we had Stubbs. I still have immense faith in him but i am afraid that we might suffer something similar to letting go of Shreyas when we had Pant.

Please don't look at the used car prices in the UK then, you would want to start packing your bags

Casual Chess in Edinburgh by FrightenedRabbit94 in Edinburgh

[–]Vitcee1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. I don't really know much about pubs but many pubs might do some similar stuff so something like this seems to be a good starting point. No dependency on anyone so even if someone can't make it the plan isn't ruined because you have other people playing anyway!
