@IrishRail What's happening at Connolly station today? Why is the 20.50 train to Drogheda not running? And why was platform 3 closed off a few mins before the departure of the 20.18 train for that route?

@qatarairways Hello @qatarairways , I have flights on March 4th. I should have got the refund/reschedule options by now but your customer support is unreachable. Pls help.

@ShubmanGill It was clearly NOT OUT.

What’s the use of spending so much money when a wrong decision is made despite so much technology, in such an important match?

How can we allow such a horrible call by the third umpire in “THE ULTIMATE TEST”?

The ball is clearly touching the ground👇

@BKRALOL @venkateshprasad I'm in favour of sending him to Jupiter. At least someone else will get a deserved chance.

[Venkatesh Prasad @venkateshprasad]

And the torrid run continues. More to do with rigidity of the management to persist with a player who just hasn’t looked the part. No top order batsman in atleast last 20 years of Indian cricket has played these many tests with such a low average. His inclusion is ….

@virendersehwag Everyone in the lineup has bowled in international cricket

[Peter Della Penna @PeterDellaPenna]

Went back to the full match replay. Charlie Dean was leaving her crease early starting with her 2nd ball at the non-striker's end in the 18th over. Ball still in bowler's hand. Dean is never looking at the bowler to see if/when the ball has been released. Basic lack of awareness.

@PeterDellaPenna Excellent Analysis
It Baffles me that Indian Bowlers action which is Legal &verified by Umpires - had to be Justified like this thread by thread.
Meanwhile no big personality is questioning England team's outright cheating mentality which is neither in Rules nor in Spirit of Game

@ESPNcricinfo "Never Back Down", there's a movie by this name as well.
He would've played more if the prime years of his career didn't overlap with MSD. Instead of resigning to his fate, he kept trying to improve, occasionally playing as a pure batter. And this DK 2.0 is phenomenal.

[Love Thy Neighbour! @DebaterFact]

@SuperSportTV Maybe you need to factor for the ricochet from the pads which pushes the ball back and up in the last frame. Without the last frame, the ball appears to hit the wickets. The last frame if used in projection, will mess it up.

Bug-fix?

But TBH, it was not a pivotal moment.

Started the year with a win at the Gabba, and ended it with one at Centurion. A great year for Indian test cricket. And a special word for the bowling, what an attack this has grown into. #BoxingDayTest #IndianCricketTeam #INDvsSA #SAvsIND

England’s 2nd innings in Melbourne (27.4 overs) has lasted three fewer overs than their 2nd innings on the much maligned (by some of their fans/journalists) pitch in Ahmedabad in February (30.4 overs).

[Aabhas Srivastava @SrivAabhas]

@MoCA_GoI The prices of international flights to India from EU are an all time high. Considering the fact that India has reciprocal covid vaccination certificate arrangement with most of EU, why doesn't GoI relax flight restrictions as long as covid checks are in place?

[Akshat Dhaon @aksdhaon]

Airlines are taking undue advantage of the situation. This should end and normal flights with vaccine certs/negative reports should resume #removeairbubble

For those who have difficulty in using the biological names of the variants, problem solved. Greek letters shouldn't be so hard now.

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Say goodbye to the “Indian,” “South African” & “British” coronavirus variants. @WHO has renamed them the Delta, Beta & Alpha variants, using Greek letters in a new naming system of “non-stigmatising labels” that the general public should use from now. https://t.co/sRaJoNHhDN
