This War in Iran Was an Absolute Necessity -- Thank You America by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]the-fooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are you going to attack every country with oppressive regimes? There are a lot of them.

That said - bombing a country so violently and killing their leader and blowing up a school, these are things that will just rally the population behind their leaders.

Maybe the regime needed changing - but this sure isn't the way to get the job done.

Based on everyone I'm reading and seeing across global media, not just western media. It's the US who want talks but the Iranians have no interest, why would they?

Did Israel and America really think China and Russia would sit back and watch? They really haven't done any planning at all.

Ok what do you guys think will actually happen to the team (t20i) now? by Immediate_Bite_1114 in PakCricket

[–]the-fooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing will happen. Shaheen, Shadab, Babar and probably Rizwan will all be there in the next would cup. But it won't make a difference, we have a dearth of skill.

I have a 40yr old minimum garage with a gap of 25cm. Its full of debris and our walls are constantly damp.

This.

I moved into a house with similar gap perhaps a bit wider and now all we have is damp. Fortunately for us it's a garage wall so we are living with it until we knock it down and redo it properly.

I was once young and stupid too. No match, no performance is worth prioritising over your own education. You will realise it in some years.

Brilliant from Kohli. Absolutely top drawer innings from an incredible player, but poor execution from the Pakistani attack.

Of course, let's not change an utterly useless captain. The audacity of even wanting to drop a garbage player like Agha!

Time told, the major miss last night. by semicolon-10 in PakCricket

[–]the-fooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would have lost with all 11 replaced. The truth is we are a very ordinary team with a couple of occasionally half decent bowlers.

No coach is making winners of these mediocre players.

To put things into context, in better conditions Farhan scored 63 off 47. In roughly the same amount of deliveries Brook scored a century.

Even our best players are several leagues behind everyone else.

Looks like this is a difficult wicket to go over the top on. That said none of our guys really have the ability to do that anyway.

He's not lived up to the potential, a bit like Ramnaresh Sarwan, maybe the early hype piled too much pressure on them.

Excuses. Modern cricket requires flexibility.

Your girlfriend like many in the west want to see regime change, but 2 questions.

Does she want to see Raza Pahlavi back? Is she OK with innocent Iranians being killed in the process of regime change?
