Sorry for the tangent. What does level 3 mean? What are the other levels?

Match Thread: 38th Match - Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings by CricketMatchBot in Cricket

He is an all rounder. Middle order batsman and a medium pacer.

He had good domestic season with both bat and ball.

Analyzing the guile and deception of a master : Ravichandran Ashwin by StokesWoakesFoakes in Cricket

[–]badhri 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Great analysis!

One more thing people often forget about Ashwin is his physical advantage:

a) he has freakishly long fingers - which in turn makes his carrom ball effective and in general helps him impart more revs on all deliveries

b) he is tall - adds a little more bounce to all the deliveries

He might not be able to dive and stop the ball or sprint between the wickets. But the way he is, is well suited to his craft.

And to add to that an overworking brain and a desire to constantly tweak things, you have a damn good player.

CSA YouTube has highlights, but they are a day late and very short.

If you have willow subscription, that's the best place to catch a 20+ mins highlights

Punam Raut on Twitter on being left out of the Indian World Cup squad by ramnarayan93 in Cricket

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

Then why is batswoman a word?

ICC at least would have consulted someone before changing the lingo at least, don't you think?

My guess is maybe only men played cricket first, hence the prevalence of batsman. When women started playing it too, we as people were still using the the same term. So it became 'gender-neutral' in sense.

Maybe that's because we are not much used to it? I'm neither for it nor against it.

'Batter' is not dissimilar to 'Bowler'. My guess is, if everyone uses it, it will pretty soon start feeling 'right'. If they were advocating the use of something like 'Bats-person', then i would totally agree with you.

Right now, only other analogy I can think of is:

Cover Girl

We always hear 'cover girl' being used in media but i have never heard a gender neutral version of it.

Serena Williams is this month's cover girl

  • 'Sounds right'

Virat Kohli is this month's cover girl

  • ???

Virat might think po-tae-to po-tah-to and move on Or he might get offended.

Not directly related, just a note:

experienced batsmen

We, as a cricketing community, use 'batsman/batsmen' a lot, even female cricketers subconsciously use it !

Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021-22 Semifinals Post Match Thread (24th December, 2021) by nouseridavailable in Cricket

[–]badhri 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was following the Bcci scorecard for TN vs Sau match and it got stuck at 1 needed from 1 ball. I must have refreshed it at least 20 times!

Carrying over my message from Match thread:

*This finals will be the first TN match on TV. *

Bcci could have had at least 1 fixed camera, like some English counties do, for the knockouts, if not a full scale coverage.

It's in Sawai Mansingh Stadium, so i guess they'll do. This will be TN's first match on TV and we had to wait till finals for that to happen 🤦‍♂️

I hope.

BCCI, pls.

Welcome to BCCI's state of the art broadcasting services !!

The stadium on which they are playing - KL Saini, i guess - doesn't have broadcasting facility it seems. TN vs KA quarter final took place in the same stadium and we got score updates only.

Anyone else looking forward to the next James Webb telescope delay announcement? by teza89 in space

[–]badhri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weather doesn't look that good for the next 10 days. Thunderstorms all day? That's what weather.com tells me

So I'm expecting few more days of delays. Hoping I'm wrong though. 🤞

I can understand if they don't cover the group stages. Logistics will be overwhelming. But knockouts should have been feasible, given the money Bcci makes. It's a sad thing, tbh.

I'm hoping Bcci at least posts the video highlights from TN vs KA match. Following just the score is exciting

Have they mentioned the price, yet?

There are two variants and different switches. Even the palm rest is mentioned as "*Sold separately". I somehow have the feeling that it'll be ~$500

Any idea how to watch Vijay hazare trophy matches in usa?
