@peter_haniel@shailesh18_@SatwikHegde5 This is retarded. It’s like asking them to get another opener. They already had great death bowling. They won all those matches even without Ngidi. What would adding Ngidi and weakening your powerplay bowling accomplish?
@peter_haniel@shailesh18_@SatwikHegde5 Death bowling doesn’t do shit if you don’t take wickets up front. There are stats about this. RCB won both its titles because they took the most amount of wickets in the powerplay.
@peter_haniel@shailesh18_@SatwikHegde5 Even without Ngidi RCB has top death bowling in the league. Powerplay wickets >>> death over economy. Ngidi adds nothing to the team. They’d be using up a foreign slot for no real change in their win probability.
@peter_haniel@shailesh18_@SatwikHegde5 That’s dumb. Hazelwood got the bulk of powerplay wickets in 2025. If they’d just relied on Bhuvi and Dayal for new ball wickets and Bhuvi didn’t have this unexpected ATG year, they’d have been a playoff team at best since they don’t have strike bowling in the middle overs.
@peter_haniel@shailesh18_@SatwikHegde5 Ngidi is a defensive bowler best for middle and death overs. RCB have exceptional death bowling even without Ngidi. What they needed was a Hazelwood backup to give them new ball wickets.
@sifarchand Tangential, but is Salafism akin to Lutheranism, ie a reappraisal or rediscovery of your key text via translation and then attempting to go back to how it was originally?
@hiityro1645@SeemsOver@Backhand_Slice_ It’s the best strategy when you’re developing a 15 year old. Teach them there are consequences for crossing the line, no matter how invaluable you are. Let him learn early.
@cricketingview One is a thing that happens often, the other is out of the norm. I'm personally not outraged by the incident but people's strong reactions are not unreasonable. They've seen Suryavanshi give sendoffs to teams or be aggressive on the field and nobody batted an eyelid.
@AbhiKasireddi@Backhand_Slice_ What you’re referring to are matrilineal societies. They’re different from matriarchy. And most of them died out in India millennia ago.
@hbfetr He needs a call from Zubin Bharucha to tell him to just play his natural game. Was told in the U19 WC by Indian coaches to play along the ground and underperformed by his standards until he had a chat with ZB before the final and then hit a 175.
@chadlalaji@Kanatunga Only losers who’re too unattractive to get laid think other people’s promiscuity is some kind of oppression on them. “Gatekeepers of sex”. You’re talking like a thief who thinks it’s unfair that a housing society has security. Whine about it to your other parasite friends.
