@HarisRauf14 in your face. 3-0 is baar kar dia hai. Next Asia cup 6-0 kar denge.

@bhogleharsha Sorry but this does not ring a bell AT ALL. He is a match winner no doubt, but what is he saving his body for? If he's not going to be a frontrunner in crucial matches as Oval, then India should not build a test bowling unit around him. He's better off playing annual IPLs🥊

@ImTanujSingh Simply sad and painful to see how Australia, NZ, england, and SA can still repeatedly snatch trophies from India with a minuscule portion of BCCI's revenue.

@SEN_Cricket @tommorris32 @NufarmAustralia If you think of Kohli, you immediately think of elite batsmanship - Sachin, Ponting, Sanga, Hayden, Kallis, Lara - make Kohli's cohort. But Kohli will go down as the only elite batsman who was never sure of his off stump.

@jod_insane Kohli will go down in history books as the only elite batsman who was never sure of his off stump. #INDvsAUS

@BMagistretti Disagree. Don't hustle if you can't. Odds are stacked against you as a founder

[Beata Klein @axeliaklein]

When seeing the journey of successful startup founders you realise they have all been through at least one:

- Product pivot

- CF struggle

- Key employees leaving

- Co-founder breakup

- Problem raising

- Period of exhaustion

- Layoff

The path is far from straight!

What are the most interest rate sensitive verticals in the startup ecosystem today...?

[Rob Go @robgo]

I started in VC in 2007. When I learned the business, there were a lot of rules of thumb that I found arbitrary.

Looking back, I realize that many of these made sense because they were formed during a much tougher market environment. Long 🧵
