There's a crucial difference between your culture and their culture. One is ritualistic, the other exotic. And you determine which is which.

Brilliant bowling from @prasidh43 . Gave only 18 runs in an over when he detractors were certain he would give 36. Showed immense character and control over line and length.

[Eshwar Sundaresan @eshwars]

Will @prasidh43 forfeit his match fees if 50% of his deliveries are loose? One must expect 95% accuracy from pros. But let's grade him on a curve.
Two full tosses on the legs in the 46th over? He is just lucky he was bowling to tailenders. #Prasidh #unskilled #nervouswreck

@elonmusk So the man-child is an altruist? Is that the narrative forced by the platform?

[Eshwar Sundaresan @eshwars]

@JioHotstar Are you a garage startup or a conglomerate with the biggest deal in cricket? If you cannot afford enough servers to offer a seamless IPL OTT experience, you don't deserve your billions. And replace your UX "experts" with humans who have... a brain.

The people from your past think they know you.
Let them be...

@ICC How about a Hemisphere Cup?
Northern Hemisphere: Ind, Pak, Ban, Afg, SL, Eng, Ire, WI
Southern Hemisphere: Aus, NZ, SA, Zim.

Play the matches in Guyana, as close as one can get to the equator and still be in a full-member nation.

@mukundabhinav In terms of (ITO) your commentary and ITO your perspective, and ITO your vocabulary, it would be nice if you develop a second turn of phrase. Don't worry. Just learn the language a little more.

Congratulations Australia in uniting the rest of the world into feeling schadenfreude.

#Books | @MitaliLive describes the world of #crypto as one without guardrails, lethal to many & potentially dangerous to all. Like a good journalist, she does this by expertly piling fact-filled passages upon each other. | @eshwars

God is an Australian. India won, but left the gate open for the Ozzies. God will ensure AFG loses. And then who in the cricketing world have the chutzpah to defeat the Pirates of Oz in the semis or the finals? Another opportunity drowned.

A democracy, if you can keep it. And a proper opposition to help you keep it.

Instead of "Save the World" had we used the truer phrase "Let's save ourselves", would we have done more to counter climate change? @UNFCCC

In yet another session, @RCBTweets has lost the tournament at the auctions. 4 overseas players and Kohli cannot win the IPL. For how many years will they pursue this insane strategy? In the best of years, RCB has had eight worthy players. It helps to have eleven, you know?

[Eshwar Sundaresan @eshwars]

A better metric is "Strikage" @bhogleharsha .

Strikage = Average*Strike rate.

Definitely apt for T20 but can see this becoming relevant in the 50-over format as well.

Here's a solution to the broadcasting of religious prayers. Allot AM frequencies to each place of worship. Those who want to tune in can do so within the comfort of their homes. I suppose this is too secular a solution. "My chants heal. Their chants are a cacophony."

@TheDailyShow Dear Jon, how about showing the connection between Trumpism and Sunk Cost Fallacy? Awareness of this link may help those beginning to doubt the Orange Menace wean themselves out.

To those writing premature obituaries of Bazball: picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.

Having said that, the youth of Indian cricket fill my heart with hope.

I fear that the only team that could have defeated Australia in the knock-out stage is out of the tournament #CricketWorldCup2023

When will we get a #ContentAggregator that gives us virtual membership to the 5000 great content-creating organizations of the world? Or do these orgs think we can afford to take membership in all of them? Aggregate, limit, funnel, prosper together. Why isn't anybody doing this?

A simple transistor circuit, invented in the 1970s or earlier, can halt the passage of current through a line. Can this not be used by electronic manufacturers to prevent further charing of a fully-charged battery ? #EcologyOverEconomy #ProduceResponsibly #RegulateThis
