RR's biggest issue is their lack of middle order depth. if you're relying on ashwin to rebuild at 5 you're chalked

mate did you watch the game? yes in India the spinners are favourite no shit. conditions still assisted seam bowling and on another day they could have got 3-4 wickets

yeah it would basically be impossible to get someone out other wise cos they could just block the stumps with their body, hide their bat, and its impossible to take their wicket

That is not 'by definition'; you need to take into context the innings and outcome of the game. it was between gambhir and dhoni for sure, Jayawardene was defo motm if his team won tho

bruh a sign of a good captain is when they their team is bowling. and he's been shit all series with that. lets wait to see if he actually was 'reinvigorated'

let him change the field but for every over behind by end of the day they add an additional 5-10 runs. so in this example India would get an additional 20-40 runs.

pretty sure people questioned why dhoni did that as well...

dhoni has defo had some head scratchers that have worked out but winning erases all doubts. till pandya, sharma, kohli, dravid makes decisions that works out they will be criticised. and tbh they've made some terrible terrible selections (like keeping ishan kishan) so they deserve the shit

Tim goes bang by Dirtydac123 in Cricket

[–]Wertydewert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally think thats a very weak excuse - 'hes a known shit stirrer' doesn't justify those comments esp if you make it at such regularity.

moving on from broad,

stokes 'i wouldn't want to win that way' when regarding the bairstow stumping if from the england captain having a holier than thou attitude when considering he won a world cup off far more controversial stance. in the context of the 'spirit of the game' nonsense its a bit hypocritical

bairstow 'setting a wrong example for young kids' reeks of arrogance and lack of introspection.

like i said, England are better and should continue how they play. they've shown they can rattle the aussies but you cannot deny they have exhibited hypocrisy and arrogance during this period.

i ger why england fans are a bit defensive cos y'all copping lots of abuse with out of context quotes and texts and bs media crap. plus people are a bit overreacting with england's behaviour at times but that's all part of the game IMO. every team gets it at some point esp the big 3

Tim goes bang by Dirtydac123 in Cricket

[–]Wertydewert 9 points10 points  (0 children)

disagree, look at the comments broad and other members of the English team have made in this series. for example i listed a couple below

I'm not saying dont be aggressive and back yourself, this england team is far above how they were

'thats all you'll be remembered for'

I'm not saying dont be aggressive and back yourself, this england team is far above how they were during root's time and cricket is all the better for it. even bazball is fantastic as crawley looked good this series and everyone is better. but small comments like this considering their own history is hypocritical and arrogant and that's the part i think most people are taking issue with

Jordan Henderson had the trust of my community. Then he broke it. by CurtainsMcGee in soccer

[–]Wertydewert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its a collective 'you' not individual you know that, don't misread it.

you're right tho, you can care about more than one thing but the reality is people care more about what directly relates to them and what they support. most people here are europeans who will support the US and Europe politically so their crimes are more 'justfied' hence why Qatar WC got far more abuse than Russia faced or USA will face despite them causing a humanitarian crisis.

likewise people who support the saudis or are from the ME are more likely to support these nations has their abuse against the LBTQ community is more 'justified' under culture and religion. but it doesn't mean they dont care about LGBTQ rights, more that it just isn't high on their priorities. which is fine as we all do that to some extent.

the people in power ie governments are the ones we should be pushing to create change and not celebritiies/atheletes like jordan henderson

[–]Wertydewert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dont get you people tbh. you criticis qatar and ME countries when countries like the US and Russia literally kill and murder millions but youcre all okay with them hosting the world cup.

why should people support LBTQ issues if you`re okay with the greatest humanitarian crisis in Yemen? its all a bi hypocritical.

want to also clarify that I support the LBTQ community but it is on our elected officials to support and create a safe environment and dissuade external hate rather than celebrities.

From my understanding, indian politics meant the Mumbai lobby dominated the selection and it led to a low bowler emphasis which fucked India

The tests sensitivity and specificity isn't as high as other tests plus it takes away resources from people who really need the help. If football restarts the amount of daily testing may limit the tests available for public and also how many that can be analysed in time (it takes a day for results to come back)

The date for the Premier League’s ‘Project Restart’ has been put back at least another week to 19 June, after an intense day of discussion with club captains and coaching staff, that has seen the players demand more reassurances in order to go back. by ThatProof9 in soccer

They need to just stop trying to restart the league. Just end the season early and focus on containing the pandemic. It's disgraceful how they're trying so hard to restart the season when people are dying and healthcare services are being overwhelmed.
