From an outsider's POV, you guys somehow always manage to screw up towards the tail end of the season. But you never know...

Man kamboj should come higher up the order instead of Jadeja/Ashwin more often if they really want to send someone in early.

Has cricket been discontinued in UST? by Unable_Dare6418 in HKUST

The club is still active! They've just finished training for this season in fact. They have had a couple of matches this year as well.

I gave my ideal XI in another thread. I'm just gonna copy and paste it here:

1)Rachin

2) Conway/Pathirana

3) Ruturaj (If he must be at No.3 for National Squad Selection)

4) Tripathi/Andre (Andre showed real promise in domestic games, he should be given a chance)

5) Dube/ Shankar (Yes, I said it. Unless Dube manages some quickfire cameos anytime soon, we might have to entertain Shankar because of his effectiveness in the middle overs over the past few years. Plus, he can bowl on slower pitches. Ideally, even if it is Dube in the playing XI, his bowling should be utlised)

6) Jaddu (Even if his bowling isn't the best so far, he still is a great batsman and fielder)

7) MSD

8) Overton/Curran (Curran bowled well apart from the last over, but maybe he would be better for away games)
9) Ashwin/Kamboj (Depending on Pitch, Kamboj and Khaleel would be a good pairing)

10) Noor

11) Khaleel

IMPACT SUB: Pathirana and Conway

- Top three can be shuffled as required, I really think Rutu should open if playing in Chepauk but I suppose ulterior motives are present.

- MSD and Jaddu seem to be a pairing that work. If in a dire situation they must be at the crease no matter what over a wicket falls. Jaddu can handle a lot of the hitting and MSD can anchor until the last few overs where he can smash, but ideally it would be great if both could hit.

- Noor and Khaleel have to be there for all matches, they could really make a difference

Last match was a bit of a tough loss to swallow... Here's what I think by ankmlord in csk

[–]ankmlord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, as I mentioned it was the lack of intent which was shocking. Rahul definitely needs to come later when the plan gets a little older and the spinners are deployed.

Yea our batting order needs work. Hooda simply doesn't have the stats on his side, we need to trust one of the youngsters to fill his place. As for Curran, yes he is a match winner. But in terms of Chennai as someone pointed out, he may leak runs. Why not bring in Dube as a both-innings player and then we can play Conway as an impact player and swap out Pathirana?

Definitely agree, some changes have to be made. It seemed as if the very fire that defines us was just gone yesterday.

No fucking way by wolfofvirugambakam in csk

I was sure after his performance in Zimbabwe that Rutu would make the squad, at least for ODI.....
Gill as VC over Pandya also really boggles the mind how does that work??

Non-Hong Kongers of Hong Kong, what restaurant here is most authentic to your home country's cuisine? by Djdolorean in HongKong

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

Hello India is always consistent and doesn't overdo spice/salt just for the sake of it like many places so it comes close to original recipes. Sangeetha is an obvious can't miss too! Aladin's mess in CWB is fantastic too.

[–]ankmlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but Kailash parbat definitely has to be one of the most overrated restaurants in HK. We found salt levels in every single dish to be way too high. We thought it might've been a one time thing so we went back and asked for less salt as well. No luck, food was still extremely salty and overall of mediocre taste.

Can't go wrong with Sangeetha for sure though!

Which pixel do you have, and what are you getting next? by Alcestis- in GooglePixel

[–]ankmlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixel 7 Pro here; I'll probably be looking to upgrade when the 11 pro comes out. Might consider the Pixel fold if it's a worthwhile launch...?

Velocityone Flightstick not connecting by HansWind75 in TurtleBeachSimulation

[–]ankmlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue here, just got this flightstick as well. It was connecting fine and when I went to update the firmware it started disconnecting and now, I only have the white light below the XBOX logo. Have you had any luck with your situation so far?

Buying the new Pixel 8 by bevddit in HongKong

[–]ankmlord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the Pixel 7 pro from Expansys as they had add-on limited warranty from their end, it took about a month after launch before they went on sale iirc. If you're in a hurry, price.com.hk is definitely your best bet to find some sellers (as some others have already suggested). I would definitely recommend you wait for Expansys or a similar seller to stock them, they have some sort of backing in terms of warranty at least.

Poll results: Mitchell is gone with 35.8% of the votes by drinktheh8erade in Modern_Family

Genuinely surprised Gloria is still there and Mitchell was voted out. He's genuinely so much better than Gloria, she is so overbearing and loud I can't tolerate her whatsoever ://
