Tropes re bowlers tired, rested, workload mgmt etc. In Ahmedabad against Windies, KapilDev bowled 30 overs in 2 spells (20+10) broken by end of day’s play to take 9-83. Either Kapil was superhuman or today’s bowlers with 5/6/7 over spells are wussy. Which? @bhogleharsha#INDvAUS
#SouthwestAirlines meltdown continues. Was on hold 83 minutes. Hung up, tried again, and into call back line..30 minutes. Another hour and still on hold. Website shows error to change reservation. Not good @SouthwestAir

@kumarmanish9@CWG2022India Just to put matters in perspective, Hima Das's best timing is more than what Sydney McLaughlin ran last week in 400m HURDLES. But go on, celebrate a fictional medal. Bollywood starrer coming up soon😂 ; Our sporting illiteracy will destroy whatever modest talent we produce.
@kumarmanish9@CWG2022India Thank you for pointing out. Wasted I ssuspect. Even 4 yrs ago, wild celebration did not factor she won a JUNIOR U-20 race, her timing would not qualify her for college athletics in US, and she was yet to beat India's own national record at that time (Manjit Kaur 51.05secs). 1/2
#ImranCon has pulled off constitutional #Coup in #Pakistan and matter now heads to SupremeCourt where winner be decided by Pak army placing jackboot on scale.
To invoke #cricket metaphor, #ImranKhan is clean bowled but refuses to leave crease. Umpire (Speaker) decides as an afterthought that it is a #noball. Replays dont show it. Imran refuses to leave. Takes fresh guard!
A #coup in #Pakistan, except this one by a sitting PM who lost his majority in the national assembly. After digging down on blaming foreign (viz US) conspiracy to oust him
Just when you thought there would be a rare democratic transition in #Pakistan, a democratic/parliamentary coup. Speaker adjourns assembly and bolts when the numbers are stacked against PM Imran Khan. What now?
'Harris was able to thrive in the male-dominated corridors of power because ambition was “not a taboo word in her vocabulary”.'
