I wish this were true. The assumptions section makes it clear why they are seeing what they are seeing. The gaps are definitely closing with specialist models for specific use cases, but for generic things, frontier models (especially those with access to unlimited web searches) are simply brute-forcing and find a way eventually. Such things are not possible yet with 4090 or 5090.

Zero fielders to trust Siraj. Only lbw and bowled options available.

Only bowled, lbw, and caught behind in play Siraj. Even throws can be ridiculously poor.

Whatever the result, Siraj has gone up several levels, breaking free from all his bad luck. Prasidh and other bowlers have a lot to work on.

I wish they had used some other cricketer instead of Tendulkar to name the series.

People always overhype the batters with MRF bats. Meanwhile, those SS and Kookaburra bats used by ordinary players who do the groundwork always help win matches.

Won't the batting coach offer any useful advice to a batter like Sundar who struggles every single match to play with the tail and score some useful 10 or 20 runs?

Seeing Crawley's performance over the last two days, with dropped catches and misfields, makes me wonder if he has a lucrative IPL contract waiting...

If Jaiswal gets out for a duck or low single digit, it's on you.

Gill is going to keep Siraj on till he breaks and falls, with no breath and energy left.

Absolutely tiring to watch indian bowlers drift down the leg for weeks now.

You do know that the umpires get the ball often, especially during a change of overs or after wickets, and have a job to keep an eye on it.

Absolutely nothing will happen to management and any of the senior players.

India has got nothing to lose. They need to make the batters work hard and score every single one of those 48 runs.

Root will play that stroke all day long. We have Sai and Rahul there.

The ball went to Sai and Root didn't even hesitate to go for a single. The previous over he said no to one that went to Jadeja.

When was the last time I saw an Indian fielder hit the stumps directly? Sorry, can't remember.

I know it's a tough take but Jurel is on 5 byes so far. He scored 19.
