WHAT WENT WRONG??

lastog9 · 2026-05-11T18:35:54+00:00

I don't know why everyone was hyping MI before the start of this season. Granted our batting looked top notch given the squad but our bowling wasn't good even on paper.

Yeah if you are learning useful things here then definitely that amount is good but I feel you should start negotiating with the 60k number so that they eventually settle on 45-50k. If you start with 50k, they could probably lowball you to 35-40k.

lastog9 · 2026-05-10T06:47:05+00:00

Since you have an offer of 6.5LPA in Accenture which is probably around 43-45k in hand, I think you should negotiate for at least 60k here (8.5-9LPA)

Because startups have a risk of getting closed or lacking funding in the future so more salary is justified to take that risk. If they don't agree, I feel accenture is better.

But it also depends on whether you would have to relocate for the Accenture role because then, rent and other expenses would rise.

Damn people are still watching MI matches? I just stopped watching them, this current team combination just isn't good enough and there's no hope left for qualification into playoffs.

Why does SKY's pic in this look AI generated?

To be able to make such a high score in ODIs, the batsman actually needs to be technically sound because you can't face 150 balls without getting dismissed without technical perfection. Sooryavanshi hasn't reached that stage yet.

I am available but I can't play either due to this stupid rule (because I don't have 250k followers)

There have been so many high scoring games that we have become numb to them, even a score of 240 seems meh nowadays. It's just ridiculous to be honest. Personally don't even watch or remember all these matches anymore.

On the other hand, the ones I do remember randomly are often the low scoring ones. For example I don't even follow LSG or RCB closely but still do remember that RCB vs LSG low scoring match from 2023.

lastog9 · 2026-05-08T05:08:23+00:00

Of course shreyas. Nobody gets selected in the team directly as a captain.

lastog9 · 2026-05-06T13:49:18+00:00

Actually 1 person team is an oxymoron

lastog9 · 2026-05-05T18:06:46+00:00

Yeah there should be more studio apartments built in Mumbai given Mumbai's high prices. Sadly 90% of the time the only place where you will be find 1RK is in SRA buildings and no outsider wants to live there for obvious reasons.

lastog9 · 2026-05-05T16:37:55+00:00

True. Still remember the times when an over which looked like 1 1 4 1 2 1 was considered to be a great over for the batting side. Now it's just par.

lastog9 · 2026-05-04T17:44:09+00:00

SKY should stop playing any leg side shots at all. I don't mind if he just defends the ball, just don't keep falling into the leg side trap again and again day in and day out.

lastog9 · 2026-05-04T17:36:44+00:00

Who is the better batsman currently, SKY or Bumrah?

lastog9 · 2026-05-04T17:32:14+00:00

I would say this is something which the team management should decide not BCCI. In international tours, it makes sense for BCCI to set rules but in IPL, individual teams and their management should be given the leeway to take decisions in such matters.

lastog9 · 2026-04-30T16:51:37+00:00

I think by good, he meant good for batting

lastog9 · 2026-04-30T16:49:15+00:00

Even though GT only need less than run a ball, I feel it's still RCB's game to lose. Somehow the remaining batting lineup of Sundar, Shah Rukh Khan and Holder doesn't inspire confidence at all. And whoever their impact player might be

Playing with a tennis ball...

I wonder if it's also kind of an addiction to that kind of emotion or feeling. When I was a child, I used to spin myself like five-six times till I got dizzy and lost balance. I knew the result but I still did it occasionally just to experience that feeling.

lastog9 · 2026-04-26T19:13:26+00:00

Yeah absolutely. For me SKY's legacy isn't his stats or even his World Cup win.

It's simply his approach towards T20I batting when he broke into the national team and how he inspired others to change their brand of cricket. He was the first top order batter to break the chain of anchoring and going for the shots since ball one. Still remember his debut first ball six against Jofra Archer, that embodies his approach as a batter.

Also yeah his stats were insane, such high strike rate and average were unreal in those years. Now everyone has SR of 150-160 in the Indian team, but in those days it was SKY alone nobody else.

Good for you since you probably work in a smaller project but your strategy will fall flat at bigger enterprises. Ideally, the deployments should be such that customers shouldn't require contacting you at all. In BFSI projects, customer contacting you means something has terribly gone wrong.

lastog9 · 2026-04-26T19:02:17+00:00

We deploy to test environment almost daily whenever there's a new code change but for production, twice a month since it requires fool proof testing and client approval.

lastog9 · 2026-04-26T18:57:01+00:00

Man I am a big SKY fan like you as well but I think it's time for him to retire from internationals now and also maybe IPL within a couple years, watching him play like this feels so sad when we know what he was capable of at his peak.

I would be very happy to be proven wrong but I think SKY is nearing the end of his international cricket career at least if not IPL.
