Re: Cricket

We lost to the same BD team in a one day series after the world cup. We lost to them and did not reach the knock outs in an earlier world cup. We nearly lost a t20 to them but saved only by a lucky stumping by Dhoni, we nearly lost a t20 recently and saved only by a blitzkrieg by Dinesh Karthik. BD...

Re: Cricket

Well the goal post keeps getting pushed from one knock follwed by 5 failures, to knock out, to knock out against a better team. Bangladesh defeated England in that world cup. How many finals India played? There's only one major tournament every two years or so. India doesn't even get into the final...

Re: Cricket

it was funny to hear the english commentator keep saying 'england is ahead' when kohli fell and equation was 44 in 24, and then 29 in 18.

with a set batsman, and proper batters still to come - 40 in 3 overs is a par score these days.

Re: Cricket

good bowling and batting from India.

kuldeep was unreadable from hand and pitch by english middle order..only butler had certainty in his batting.

good that we are playing shorter form before the tests. gets us acclimatized for the tests.

. So I don't know how the media is spinning it as a victory to Kejriwal and another instance of Blow to Modi nonsense.
I am now conditioned to assume the opposite, whenever I see some clickbait headlines.

It is either half-truth that's hyped up, or just blatant lie.

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

We keep saying Modi should do this, modi should do that. I would trust modi to understand current reality, understand end goal, and fig...

on NPA issue Swarajya: Don’t you feel you could have done better in two areas: fixing India’s banks. Instead of recapitalising them in 2017-18, why didn’t you do this in 2014 itself? And then there is half-hearted privatisation. The failure of the recent Air India privatisation is a case in point… M...
