@BookMyBai - Poor service. Sent a help and took the charges. She left in a day the next person does not meet requirements. You have no idea if the person you are sending can actually do the job they say they can do. Now I have paid you 30k and no help. And now no response either
Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
Excellent chart by @MotilalOswalLtd. This is what a bear market looks like and this is the first bear market that Gen C (post COVID investors) are going through. One year done.
Class!

On the occasion of Diwali, I wanted to share my firm (Augurium) has made a small investment in micro-cap CakeBox (CBOX LN, £89 Million market cap) – the eggless and vegan cake franchiser in the UK after a long time tracking it. Here's my thesis:
-The biz has averaged 10% underlying/adjusted EPS growth, 20% revenue growth over the last 5 years.
-In March 205, CBOX acquired one of the most well-known mithai (South-Asian sweet) retailers in the UK called Ambala. This could add another £15-20m to revenue next year, £2-3m EBIT in my eyes.
- The company seems to have stabilized/cleaned up from previous internal control/accounting issues in 2022 (new CFO, accounting review & restatements). Definitely worth monitoring and a risk factor.
- CBOX has grown stores consistently, from 133 in 2020 to 251 in 2025, with a medium term target of 400 stores
- Personally I’m looking out for: 1) New franchises (does Ambala have international potential like CBOX?) 2) Commentary on the Ambala/Cake Box fusion products (Gulab Jamun Cupcakes anyone?) 3) Scale-up of home delivery (they don’t break this out anymore and its included in online sales, but it still looks to be early innings with the delivery aggregators)
- At 20x FY26 estimated earnings, the stock would trade at 286p, implying ~60% upside from current levels
Happy Diwali to all!
Let the festivities begin!
Annual reminder - Keep the spirits high, the noise low and spread a little sparkle wherever you go ✨
