If there's ever a brain fade moment in history of cricket, it would be Pant's decision to send woefully out of form Pooran and Makarram for super over
Could be Rahane put up a bluff by talking to Tyagi and putting a perception that he would bowl the over..boss move

@SamaHoole There was a extensive study done by a researcher working in railways that tied this to usage of refined oils for cooking...sadly, at that time, the cooking oil mafia completely shut it down
@cricBC Its foolish to compare coding to skill of a sportsman, the latter just keeps getting better and scaling new heights in case of genius.. we are witnessing birth of prodigy like Sachin and should be happy to have a ring side view instead of these stupid ruminations for clickbaits
@potter_here18 I know, isn't there an English version of his shows or is everything in only Tamil.. Even Ashwin has shows in Hindi or English to expand his audience
@ashwinravi99 think it's in bad taste for former players to join speculation and vitiate dressing room atmosphere when these guys will play one day together in Indian team
Anyone including collectively a team can have a bad season
Ashwin on Hardikโs removal as captain ๐จ
โSee Vimal bhai, Hardik won a trophy with GT despite not having a star-studded team, and now MI have finished last without even qualifying for the playoffs with the best team on paper. There has to be something fishy. We saw how some senior MI batters were underperforming during his captaincy, and now there are rumours that five senior players were unhappy playing under Hardik and collectively approached the management to sack him. The newly published article is reportedly written by a close friend of some senior players, which only adds to the suspicion.
To perform well and win trophies as a team, you first need a healthy environment in the dressing room. Hardik was constantly booed throughout 2024, yet no one really tried to stop the fans, and that says a lot about how uncomfortable the atmosphere must have been for him.โ
@eldivine Not possible... Diffusion of light and they would need a telescope the size of distance between sun and Jupiter to even consider this possibility
History is distorted in so many levels... Before celebrating greek and Egyptian or Arabic influence on science, a whole section on Indic influence is missing as one of greatest libraries ever assembled - Nalanda was burnt down

People are clueless about our history because itโs been revised to paint Christianity in the worst possible light, when it was specifically the Church that preserved all the great ancient texts that illuminate the histories for us.
Why did the Dark Age happen? Not because of Christianity, but because of Islam. Aside from Constantinople, all the centers of Christian learning in the East were conquered by the Caliphate. And in particular, Egypt was the greatest loss, for two reasons: 1) the catechetical school at Alexandria was a brilliant light of Christendom for the 6 centuries prior to Islamic conquest, and 2) most importantly, the production and importation of paper (made from papyrus) to Europe ceased overnight, and Europe had to resort to enormously expensive parchment for its writing mode โ and thus reading and writing became relegated to the wealthy nobility and to the clergy. No one else could afford the material necessary.
Couple that with the next thousand+ years of Islamic raiders plundering the coasts of southern Europe for Christian slaves, leading to most unfortified coastal areas to be abandoned for centuries, and you have a recipe for Christian Europe to be forced to draw in upon itself. This coincided with the so-called Islamic Golden Age, which occurred specifically because Islam violently conquered Christian lands and stole their knowledge for themselves.
The Christian West during this period nearly collapsed altogether, but it was their unifying Christian faith that helped them band together to defeat the pagan Germans in Saxony and Bavaria, the pagan Vikings raiding and conquering the British coasts, and Islamic rule in Iberia, southern France, Sicily, and southern Italy.
People like to treat โscienceโ and โlearningโ as these linear progressions, but in reality the studies of the sciences, and in particular philosophy, had really begun to decline during the period leading up to the fall of Rome in 476. This era was marked by increasing decadence and a lack of moral and social cohesion in the empire, and as society decayed so too did the quality of its academic institutions and scholastic fervor. Some people try to blame this decay on Christianity, but in reality Christianity was a response to โ not the cause of โ this societal decay.
This same pattern is playing out today. The moral and societal decay of the modern secular West is leading the younger generations to reject modernity and embrace faith, and in particular the more traditional and liturgical faiths are surging with young adult converts.
History doesnโt repeat itself but it does rhyme.
