Argentina, with every team, in the last few minutes after going 1-0 down.

@mufaddal_vohra Csk should go after Smith.

@aravind There is a higher probability of Rishi Sunak or Nick Jonas becoming India's PM than Rahul Gandhi.

So Aryans lost to long-lost Aryans in a cricket series.

The Irish once called themselves the Tuatha de Danaan.

Children of Danu.

The same Danu appears in the Rig Veda as the mother goddess of the flowing waters. She is where the Danube gets its name. And the Dniester, the Dnieper, the Don and the Donau. And Denmark. And Greek Demeter. Northern Greeks called themselves Dannuni.

Two hills in southwest Ireland are still known as the Paps of Danu. At Beltane, fires were lit around them and cattle driven between the flames for protection and good harvest. The same ritual is described in the Vedas.

The oldest surviving Irish text, the Book of Invasions, records a tribe called Erainn, from Arya, arriving from the south by sea and making its way inland to the Hill of Tara. The Persians took the same name for themselves. Iran means the land of the Aryas.

These Vedic influences arrived in pulses. The Iranian is the oldest. A landward pulse followed the river valleys of the Dniester, the Dnieper, the Donau and on into Denmark, leaving the mother goddess's name behind at each stage.

The Celtic pulse came after 5,600 BC. The Celtic branch had by then separated from Italo-Celtic in the Mediterranean and continued up the Atlantic seaboard. The route is still readable on the map. Portugal. Galicia. Gaul. Pays de Galles. Cornwall. Galloway. Galway. The "gal" names trace the coast.

Ireland remembered its origin.

The old story of Aryan nomads riding into India from the steppe has no DNA support. Michel Danino reviewed nine large-sample genetic studies from 1999 to 2006 and found no invasion signal. The archaeological record shows no cultural break from prehistory. The outstanding character of ancient India is continuity.

The trails from Iran and from Ireland both lead back to India.

I set the full case out in "How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World."

Why is cricket so obsessed with batsmen captains? When captaincy is most needed while bowling.

[GRVsays @grvcric]

@mufaddal_vohra Don't give GG ideas.

[GRVsays @grvcric]

@mufaddal_vohra For every 257, there is 457.

SKY, the captain, lost only 8/51 matches he captained. Forget about losing a T20i series (0/9 lost); the team never lost back-to-back T2Ois during his entire captaincy tenure.

Shreyas Iyer as the T20i captain so far:

Matches - 6.
Tosses won - 6.
Matches lost - 5.
Matches won - 0.

A tough start to his captaincy tenure!
