It's a good time to remind everyone that FIFA is ass.

I find the whole "Test cricket is the pinnacle" conversation almost sickening now. Every cricketer, former cricketer queues up to get a share of IPL riches as player, coach, commentator etc while parroting praises of Test cricket. It's like everyone trying to get a job in AI while saying how they feel civil engineering is the best.

Like it's amusing they keep running clips of Kohli saying Test cricket is the best and its the format he enjoys the most. Then what stops Kohli from turning up for Delhi in Ranji or heck play a season of county cricket in England. Jimmy Anderson is still doing that. You turn up for a domestic T20 competition because that is where the most money and maximum fan engagement is. It should be perfectly acceptable to say that "Look Test cricket was great, but we all love T20 the most now since the concept of five day cricket is outdated and the fans don't like it as much"

But no. Almost no one can say that without getting brickbats from the whole cricket establishment. No one (other than Lalit Modi) openly says that Test cricket is past it's prime and is just a niche sport now and will continue to be.

Ashwin was talking in a panel discussion on cricinfo recently where he said we should force kids to play Test cricket. It was an absurd statement. I mean T20 is simply just a bigger job market now. A kid can grow up only playing T20 and make a living play Tamil Nadu Premier League even if he doesn't qualify for IPL ever. Can Test cricket give that kind of job market to a kid today? Would you force your kids to learn abacus if they are interested in learning python coding?

The center of all this nonsense is the shadow of how cricket is still "gentleman's game". It is just an unwritten law in the old boys club that runs the game that everyone who picks a bat needs to pay homage to the holy spirit of cricket. The spirit that dictates what cricket ought to be like even when it is far separated from the reality of its existence.

Cricket is not the only game that has evolved. Of course cricket is unique in having different formats of the same sport. But tennis also changed because the racquets became superior and players became muscular and the serve and volley game of the bygone era got extinct. Basketball changed when everyone started shooting 3-pointers in NBA. And while other sports also sometimes get nostalgic about the past, they don't bring arguments or discuss methods to turn back the clock at the expense of what people actually want to watch.

And that is exactly the elitism in the Test cricket superiority argument that irks me the most. It goes against vox populi. People have spoken long back about the format they prefer. Yet the commentariat looks at empty cricket stands in Test matches and almost gets judgemental about cricket fans. As if you need to turn up to the stadium in a Test match and do your time in the stands just to be deemed worthy of being called a cricket fan.

So yea. I almost secretly hope Sooryavanshi actually never plays Test cricket. Just to piss off Test supremacists. Quietly becomes bigger celeb than Jordan and Kohli combined playing only T20. And then as he wears that highest crown in sport, he has the authority and honesty to for once state the truth. That the gospel of Test cricket is an elitist lie. That Test cricket isn't supreme anymore. And you know what, the world is a better place because of that coz it the will of the people made it happen.

I have covered roughly 10,000km on my bike (which usually gives a mileage of 25kmpl on highways) since E20 implementation. Surprisingly, I have found the mileage to be 30kmpl. I don't understand how this is possible 🤔

Bike - royal enfield interceptor 650.

Indian govt can provide free ration, but not free education.

They want people alive enough to vote, but not educated enough to question.

India is interesting country.

> We have petrol pump with E85 petrol - but not a single car which runs on it
> We have millions of vehicles running on E5, E10 petrol - but there is not a single petrol pump with these fuels.
