The Queens Gambit x King’s Indian Defence

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

The Most Interesting thing I have encountered in a while Was browsing a US based website and noticed this

Intriguing to probe into how the world would look like if services’ prices were adjusted to PPP of countries. Would take accessibility of quality to a new level.

@marrlec Leclerc's first win: 2019 (second season, ferrari debut season)
Piastri's first win: 2024 (second season)
The defence is literally comparing apples to oranges. George has faced his fair share of critique as well.

Batting 154 overs following on to save a Test - you don't see that much these days. Class

@CricCrazyJohns PR Game off the charts

This is a great outcome NOT a bad outcome as some seem to imply.

Founders should earn $$$ even if the Government of India subsidised R&D. They will then invest and build more companies, creating an ecosystem.

If you restrict founders from selling, the quality of founders the Government will attract will be lower. Patriotism alone doesn't feed homes.

If this becomes a pattern, the Government should take an equity stake. But asking for more Government control over M&A decisions will not promote innovation.

This is not a flex, evidences infact the horrible nature of test cricket management in our country.

When will we finally have test centres is a question we ask every year to no avail at all

[Johns. @CricCrazyJohns]

- 30 Tests.
- 30 Different venues.

ONE & ONLY YASHASVI JAISWAL 🇮🇳

Sachin Tendulkar has finally spoken on the student protests, and I had to read his note twice: once as a fan and once as an editor. The fan was disappointed, but the editor realised that this was a textbook specimen of the kind of writing that George Orwell warned about in his essay “Politics and the English Language”.

The essay was written in 1946, but it might well have been written yesterday about this very statement. Orwell’s point was that when people want to hide something, they stop using plain words and reach instead for the passive voice, for fog, for phrases that sound like they mean something while meaning nothing at all.

Consider the line, where students are disappointed that “their hard work hasn’t been rewarded”. Rewarded by whom, and denied by whom? There was a paper leak, which means somebody leaked it, some institution failed to prevent it, and an official presides over that institution. Yet none of them appears in the statement, and neither does the leak itself. A crime with identifiable custodians has been turned into something that simply happened to lakhs of children through nobody's fault.

Then comes the list of those who must set things right: parents, teachers, friends, relatives, schools and administrators. If you read that list again slowly, you will notice it covers everyone in India except the people the students are actually protesting against, which is to say the NTA, the education ministry and the government. When everyone is responsible, nobody is, and that is not an accident of drafting. It was engineered to deflect blame.

There is also a quiet sentence buried in the middle. “A society which prioritises outcomes over effort will seek shortcuts over meritocracy” is a line about those who take shortcuts, meaning the cheat. So a note on protests around paper leaks ends up gently lecturing the leaked-upon about honesty. His father’s lovely lesson—that failure is okay but cheating is not—is again aimed squarely at individuals, while the scandal and protests right now are about institutions that failed them.

The rest of the statement is what Orwell called ready-made strips of words, glued together. Full of dreams and energy, fuel to our success, safeguard their aspirations. Nobody can disagree with any of it, which is precisely the point, for this is prose engineered so that no one in power will find a single sentence to object to.

What an actual position would have looked like is a single sentence in the active voice: The government must find and punish those who leaked the paper, and fix the system that allowed it. He wrote 160+ words to avoid writing that one.

Here’s Orwell’s full essay for those interested:

Cricket Australia is doomed.

There's absolutely no need to host Ashes test match in India.

Which sane cricketing board would want to schedule a test match in India where there's 0 proper stadium facilities.

No fan experience, Stadiums with Pan Masala Ads and lack of bare minimum like drinking water.

It's a shame that Australia board even shifted BBL to India

If I was a cricket Australia fan i would be furious.

India can't even host it's own match in a proper way and they want Ashes to be played here.

Shame.

So you’re telling me, associate sides have to play in a 3 year 50 over tournament, to qualify for a qualifier to qualify for another tri-series qualifier to then qualify for a World Cup.

[Jarrod Kimber @ajarrodkimber]

That is one of the greatest catches I have ever seen. A full blooded cover drive into silly points hands. Richa Ghosh has glue hands.

[R R @RacchaRidhvik]

First in my bloodline to witness this reason for a delay in cricket match 😭

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

Whenever India has lost under GG, the excuse has been "transition phase." Yeahh almost the same team that won the T20 WC three months back is in transition phase suddenly

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

@prasannalara Worked out well in the World Cup. Tilak is sub-par at best against spin, thus not a bad idea to use him as a designated pace hitter at the back-end. In any case, I like Patidar at 5 as a much better fit @prasannalara

[Erika Morris @ErikaMorris79]

Sorry what did you say Gambhir....

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

@prasannalara Rested for what? He plays only one format, which is the shortest format? Any communication that he is rested lacks any logical basis and is a damage limitation move

[FPL Olympian @FPLOlympian]

Good luck to England tonight 😶‍🌫️

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

@SriniMaama16 Really don't understand all the fuss made over it, F1 drivers drive the car with over 5Gs at a similar altitude. Get on the with game

[Mama @SriniMaama16]

[Boiled Egg @eggoph.bsky.social @eggshitposts]

what do you want her reaction be? be sad? Maja decided to play it out, she could've retired. it's not like Mananchaya wanted her injured.

wins for players from non tennis nations GS are milestones.

[Nitin Kishore @nitinkishore]

Pls get sree on asap. We need wickets, this aussie batting lineup is ruthless
