@SinghPramod2784 @beastieboy07 Joel Wilson can't be trusted to make the right decision. He gave three not outs. The DRS exists to fix the mistakes of the on-field umpires. Jaiswal won with the lbw and lost with this one. Clearly touched his glove after running along the surface of the bat.

@SoumenduM @Bypasser09876 @RichKettle07 Would have been much clearer if India had allowed HotSpot to be used.

Don't let what you see on social media skew your view of humanity.

Most bad behavior is due to a few bad apples:

• Just 3% of active users are toxic, but they generate 33% of online content
• 1% of communities launch 74% of conflict
• 0.1% of users spread 80% of fake news

Before you dismiss novels as a waste of time, consider that you would literally not have an inner life right now if interiority had not been invented by English novelists in the 18th and 19th centuries. Doesn't seem like such a waste of time now, does it?

@PhillipAdams_1 To be fair Keating, Hawke, Richardson and their ilk contributed too, but Howard and Costello were egregious.
