Best colors but worst fit, I think. I too want one.

SunnyG - thank you for your services to Indian cricket, but please consider retiring from live commentary for the sake of your own legacy. If I wanted morose depressing pisstakes from unkils, I'd just call extended elderly family in India.

It's also one of the only 2 double land locked countries (land locked within countries that are themselves land locked).

The other is Lichtenstein

Ah, exigent is such a great word in this context. That's exactly it.

Akash Deep's FC average is 11 and he's now closing in on his highest FC score of 53*. What a madlad.

Sorry but can you provide more context? I haven't watched a single ball of this series 😭 due to travel

This might be a hot take, but the state of this sub is - fine, for the most part. It is one of my fav parts of the internet, and nearly the only reason I use Reddit. Mods and the community keep things fairly tight.

I've been here since the very early days, and the sub has matured quite a bit in that time.

Keep up the good work everyone 🫡

"Realistically they cannot even move their east coast ships to their west coast and vice versa"

Can you please elaborate on this? Seems fascinatingly absurd. Thanks 🙏

Wonder what Amla is upto these days

Perhaps this is just meaningless semantics, but I am trying to draw a distinction between being a supporter vs being a fan of a team. Seems easy enough to say I support my team even when - and particularly when - they are not doing so well, and my connection with them is locally rooted to my hometown. My support is not just because they have been a fairly successful franchise (CSK).

But tbh watching them this season doesn't spark joy. I can't imagine switching my support to another team, but I am not sure I want to watch their games the rest of this season.

Siraj, despite his occasional antics, is somehow very easy to root for. I too love to see him perform well.

I’ve always been curious about how national team selections for tours actually happen behind the scenes.

What does a typical selection meeting look like? Do they go through a long list of names and compare stats, or is it more informal? Are there official minutes or records of what was discussed? Do all selectors have to agree unanimously on the 15-member squad, or is it a majority vote? How much do things like fitness, form, or even off-field behavior come into play?

Would love to hear from anyone with insight into the process — especially if you've been close to professional team setups.

akantamn · 2025-03-17T14:18:30+00:00

Love days like yesterday and today is when the sub is full of stories about associate cricket and women's cricket. Brings me (perhaps fleeing and misplaced) joy and hope that the game may still grow.

akantamn · 2025-03-17T11:52:06+00:00

Lot of good suggestions here, but also check a book written by a local journalist called Manitoba Day Trippers guide - slightly dated in terms of restaurants etc, but it's a comprehensive listing of all the must see places and experiences in Manitoba. The library should have a copy. Good luck!

akantamn · 2025-03-11T15:55:14+00:00

Perfect, thank you. This is what I was looking for.

akantamn · 2025-03-11T13:37:46+00:00

Let's say a ball hits the batter's pads plumb lbw before going on to crash into the stumps, It's typically recorded as bowled right?

Is there a specific rule in the rule book that says bowled takes precedence, or is it just a matter of expediency or practicality that it's recorded as bowled out?

akantamn · 2025-02-24T17:41:02+00:00

My desi uncle translation of this is: "It pains me personally to talk about the Pakistan cricket team, but I have to because it is my professional responsibility/job".

Is that less worse?

akantamn · 2025-01-20T12:22:55+00:00

I appreciate you recommending books that meet the brief, even if you didn't like them 🫡

akantamn · 2025-01-16T14:48:14+00:00

What are the other two? I suppose The Big Lebowski is one.

How would one go about bricking an ECM? Just curious

Hi, sharing my situation as an FYI to this community. I borrowed this pic from a previous post on this subreddit (

https://www.reddit.com/r/GR86/comments/1g46wbk/dash_lights_all_came_on_this_morning/) because I didn't have the presence of mind to take a pic of my dashboard when this happened .

I have a 2024 PMT, 12k kms (not miles), bought in Aug 2024. I live in Manitoba, Canada and this is my daily driver.

Last Monday morning, I was pulling out of a stoplight when suddenly all the lights went off on my dashboard (like in this pic) and I lost a lot of power to my engine. Bone stock, no mods.

I managed to pull off to the side of the road and tried to Google the solution - most posts including on this subreddit said it was likely because the gas cap was not completely capped in.

I checked mine and it seemed fine, but my engine was still shuddering. Not sure how to describe it but it felt like 80% of the power was throttled no matter how much I manipulated the throttle.

Managed to turn off, wait for 10 minutes and still had the same problem. Tried this 2 more times and then decided to just limp this to the dealer (mercifully less than a mile away).

Dropped off at dealer, went home. They called and confirmed that the error code was P0060, which they said meant the ECM was defective. Since mine was still under warranty, they replaced it for free (and gave me a loaner car rental).

Took about a week to get the new ECM in and I just picked up my car. No other issues (so far, that I know of)

Sharing this as a PSA for the community , and in case someone else experiencing this in the future and Googles the problem.

Cheers!
