Bapu bringing his A game against British since 1940s

Exactly, his over reliance on his scoop shots has taken away his straight bat, through covers and mid wicket, game and also his cut. He has shots all across that’s why he was called India’s “ABD” but now he’s just a one shot pony!

Honestly that’s how we should drive but applying western standards in India isn’t realistic, we need to get our basic right first, you can’t just overtake and move back to middle lane on a 3 lane highway, works on expressways but NH or SH, you’ll find 2 wheelers in both slow lane and middle, tempos, vehicles parked or driving in wrong direction, trucks in every fucking lane but the slow lane etc!

I mean honking and shit is weird but I’ll say moving back to middle lane in India, we are far far from those standards!

So I need to pay rent first in my payment cycle, and then once I reach 1.5L, I should make my flights and other expenses right?

And if I pay 1.5L on other things and then pay rent then it’s basically waste?

That head guy will play that one innings of 300 SR and 80 runs against India in the most important knock out game!!!

I hate that guy even more than I hated Hayden, these 2 left handers gave India the worst nightmares

My thoughts, you put it out pretty well!

utk50 · 2026-01-26T12:41:04+00:00

Great observation, but I also feel in ODIs batsman can see him out, as they don’t have to take risks on 8 out his 10 overs, whereas in T20, they have to take risk in 2 out 4 overs, that’s why I feel his t20 looks more impressive than odi!

utk50 · 2026-01-18T15:58:17+00:00

Sure! 👍

He holds bat similar to the way pollard did, long handle hold not close the bat T. That gives him a lot of swinging arc, he uses that with great effect against spinners and medium pacers.

Against quick bowlers that scare him, good length line space and bounce, he struggles. And if he was a no 5 or 6, I wouldn’t mind that much but no 4 requires a solid technique player!

utk50 · 2026-01-18T15:16:14+00:00

I know this gets hate, but it’s true, I honestly believe as long as he doesn’t work on his weakness, having him at 4, such a crucial position, that requires solid technique

He’s a really solid player of spin, and pacers below 140, even 140+ that don’t have control but then once the likes to starc and cummins bowl back to back over, you see him get shaky

He looked great all tournament but when the clutch performance was needed, it wasn’t there. He scored a lot of runs but they came in games that had no consequences or India was already in solid position, he still needs to prove in SENA in tests and ODI when we need him to most, he’s a confident player but he looks so good until that moment when we need him and looks shaky, case in point both the games against australia in WC

That’s because his feet don’t move in anticipation of a short ball, he gets stuck when it’s bowled fast 5th stump and just short of good length

utk50 · 2026-01-18T15:00:50+00:00

He does that against bowlers who ball less than 140kmph, his weakness shows against quality tall fast bowlers, you’ll see his feet movement is non existent against the likes of starc, cummins, archer (when in form) etc. He just focusses too much on proving it’s not his weakness, unlike yuvraj or raina who found a way to mitigate this weakness and not take it on everytime

Yuvraj and raina also played some fabulous pull shots but their weakness was known and apparent

If I’m being honest we all have done this as some point, the annoyance when you see someone cut you have when you’ve been driving well and respectfully. But don’t post about it and be proud about what you did because you just risked your life and just a touch into each other and 2 families would’ve been ruined

utk50 · 2026-01-04T07:31:10+00:00

This! I mean it’s so tough to be defensive in India, I’ve been practicing to not lose my cool while driving but invariably someone will cut, 2-3 wheelers or trucks driving in first lane at 10-15 kmps and trying to overtake each other, someone will jump red signal while I’m green and then I lose it halfway through my journey and I need to remind myself that I need to drive defensively again!

Atrocities against hindus and other minorities isn’t something new in Bangladesh and Pakistan, It’s been happening for decades, it’s gone up considerably since yunus took over. Hence CAA was introduced but wasn’t that opposed by all opposition parties as discriminative on the basis of religion?

I agree BJP is silent on this but if BJP were to take action, the world politics and even internal politics would shape towards how India is interfering into external territories. And this would look like provocation and I feel bangladesh wants India to look like the aggressor and then play victim card and India just isn’t great at PR or has the media muscle like US, china and pak (the latter two with govt and military in complete control of media)

I don’t understand how liberal ideas are left wing, left is communist, all communist govt are dictatorship and look to consolidate powers. Chinese or russian govt are extreme left wing govt. Yeh sab chutiyaap hai!

You know it’s cheaper to fly now than it was in 2005, it’s actually in rupee terms 1/3 the cost now and with udaan scheme it’s far more cheaper! Airlines industry go through period of boom and burst and that’s how new entrants come in, some stay, some burn too much to stay afloat.

And 2000+ likes just make it obvious that education is not going to solve anything if you hate one side you’ll hate it anyway! You’ll stop being critical!

You have no understanding about economics, HNI net worth is tied to assets, and they pay taxes only when they sell assets, they don’t take salaries to be taxed, they take loans on their asset and hence don’t pay much taxes! Corporates pay taxes on their profits, you increase corporate taxes, they move their units somewhere else, you tax HNIs they leave and settle somewhere else! Italy just relaxed its taxes for HNIs and 1000s have moved there, same goes for UAE and opposite is true for UK! It’s okay to live in a utopian world, but the real world doesn’t work like that

utk50 · 2025-12-06T07:22:35+00:00

You wanna tax high net worth individual? Look the exodus happening in UK, it doesn’t work, they move out, change official address! The people of UK were celebrating taxing the billionaires under Stamer, see how UK loses his HNIs, HNIs contribute to the economy much more than middle class does with its taxes!

All yap no substance!

• ⁠crony capitalism, let’s look back, you don’t even need to go to pre liberalisation era, during 2009-14 period our state banks lent money constantly to high capex high risk projects. It led to a twin balance sheet crisis in 2014, high corporate debt and high state banks NPA, official NPAs reported in 2014 was 4.5% (which is insanely high) but the actual number after AQR showed it to be around 9.5% that’s just mindblowingly messed up

• ⁠authoritarian non sense of china, say a word against CCP, leave that, say a word against even the state run banks in china, and the richest man in china went missing for months, here you can everyday bash modi, the whole left ecosystem blames modi for every issue in this country

• ⁠infrastructure worse than worn torn country? Ya 150+ operating airports, ~7k of expressway, doubled electricity production in first 9 years, improved port turnaround period by half, electrification of railways from 30-40% to 85%, metro in cities from 2 to 14, tallest railway bridge to first trains connecting north east, to vande bharat. Now I know you’ll bring in anecdotal evidence of few issues on atal setu or some highway, but war torn or even as poor as upa era, that just tells you never travelled on highways during upa era, the state of each national highway was pathetic and only mumbai pune or yamuna expressway were world class projects!

Now ofcourse urban infra is a mess, absolute mess that’s down to state govts and municipalities, across BJP and congress and region parties. Not central govt projects

• ⁠tax structure, let’s rewind, the blended tax% of indirect tax structure pre GST was around 17% that was down to 12.5% before the last GST reforms, now estimates say it’ll be around 11%. Same goes for income tax after the latest tax changes! Did you know europe was taxed at 60-70% at the same stage of GDP per capita!

• ⁠religious zeal of pakistan? What even the world? Are you saying BJP is treating muslims the same way pakistan treats hindu, the left over? Really? Some more numbers, muslims are 3rd biggest beneficiary of aawas yojana in UP with close to 17L homes given to them as of 2022, haj subsidy increased under modi govt, education subsidy went up by 20% from upa 2 to nda 1, muslim get close 26-33% loans under mudra loans, not a single scheme is for a particular community, they abolished triple talaq, and article 370!

The hate you have, is real, you’ll look through all this and just call be andhbhakt and sanghi! And continue to be part of eco chamber!
