    General Cricket Discussion

    Time for Ishan and Shreyas to announce test retirement. This 'hunger' games talk is absolute nonsense. You create the IPL and then you call out players for 'lack of hunger'! Anyways its time young players enter the cricketing system with their priorities sorted and they should say "I want to...

    Indian Premier League - General Discussion

    Hoping to grab tickets for the opening game at Chepauk! A little skeptical as to how easy it is going to be, considering that its going to feature both Dhoni and Kohli, but if I don't, will try for CSK vs GT on March 26th. Why is RCB playing first game when GT were the finalist last year? I...

    News is that the kid was born in London, but UK does not have birthright citizenship unless atleast one of the parents is a British citizen. I doubt if either Kohli or Anushka are British citizens.

    Yes its frustrating big time. I am also eagerly waiting for the fixtures to see if I could attend a CSK game. I am visiting India next month and will be there till April 7th and hoping to watch my first IPL game in stadium (definitely at Chepauk).

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Oh, you are massively underestimating the South Asian expats here in USA. This is a World Cup and that too a T20 World Cup which is perfect for USA folks who like their games short and sweet... The massive success of the MLC (Major League Cricket) last year has gained all the attention and this...

    Tamil Music/Movie Thread

    @Aravind. Nice to hear that! I also heard that Ayalaan is a very family friendly film and that kids and families are having fun with it! I really liked the director's (Ravikumar) first film "Indru Netru Naalai" as he used sci-fi in that very entertainingly. Hope to watch Ayalaan soon.

    India Team Discussion

    Is Shivam Dube literally forcing his way into the T20 WC squad? Two brilliant innings consecutively, and he is picking wickets with the ball too. Huge conundrum for the selectors. But if Hardik is half-fit, I wouldn't care to pick Hardik and would actually pick Dube. Dube is not even half the...

    Oops... My plans changed for this weekend as its extremely cold where I live and we had snow last night and I cancelled my movie plans. Will watch Ayalaan when it comes on OTT.

    I am thinking of watching it this weekend. I am watching Ayalaan today (SK fan; also loved the director's previous Indru Netru Naalai and I am also a sci-fi fan too). Looks like a great Pongal for Tamil cinema, with both films getting great reviews!

    Hopefully by this month. The center election dates is likely what is causing the delay in the announcement of the fixtures.

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    Getting USA to become interested in cricket has been a "many decades old dream" for the sport. The sport following culture in USA for other sports (e.g., football, baseball, basketball, etc.) is pretty iconic and cricket wants to be a part of it. Also the Asian diaspora is constantly growing and...

    T20 World Cup 2024 (West Indies/USA)

    It is utterly RIDICULOUS that there does not exist a cricket stadium in Eisenhower Park (East Meadow, New York) as of now (January 2024) and in 6 months, that place is going to host the most high profile sporting games of the world - India vs Pakistan and is going to host a massively popular...

    Politics Discussion (India)

    The starting point of this DRAMA was the social media posts of the Maldives ministers. From India's side, we did not say anything or even remotely mention anything about Maldives. We just promoted our home location "Lakshadweep". The Maldives ministers went on an abusive anti-India, anti-Modi...

    India's Tour to South Africa

    What a debut for Sai Sudharsan!!! 2 consecutive fifties on debut, and that too in an away series against South Africa! Might not be South Africa's best lineup, but still Sai is a debutant and is playing away!!! Happy to see him having a crackling start in his international career! He is hugely...

    Nuwan Tushara with Lasith Malinga as mentor, in Mumbai Indians! Damn they cook smart every time. They have Coetzee too, and with the likes of Bumrah, Madhwal and Behrendorff, their bowling looks pretty lit!!

    Unlucky that he was always picked up by Punjab. Hope he sees a change of fortunes with Gujarat Titans. They are clearly looking at him as the replacement for Hardik Pandya.

    We have our backup for Pathirana, with Mustafizur Rahman! Dare I say, I am very happy with this buy.

    Indian Premier League - General Discussion

    It should be the other way around - cant believe BCCI scheduled an international game while the IPL Auction is going on! Twitter trends in India are completely taken over by the auction, and the cricket match is nowhere in sight! :D Yes, CSK need backups for Pathirana. Last time we had...

    Its funny that the social media trolls post these "oldies" memes even in an auction where CSK are defending champs. :D

    Sameer Rizvi for 8.4 crores!!!! WTH? He might be great (I see he has a batting S/R of 134 and an off break bowler) but with only 11.6 cr left, spending 8.4c on a relatively unknown player? @Bevab Maybe you know more of Rizvi, do you?
