AMA User2010

[Gaurav_7]

I will try and answer whatever you guys ask, hopefully.

 

[Perfect Square]

Who is Modi?

What is your age?

Motorbikes or Cars?

How much you will rate your role as an admin on a scale of 10?

 

[Yash.]

How would you explain your relations with Abhas.

Do you play cricket? If so, what is your role?

 

[asprin]

Which fast bowler (bowling in excess of 140kmph)

• do you think has the cleanest action
• action do you like the most

Do you think the concept of red cards in cricket is ridiculous?

Do you think it would make much more sense to simplify the LBW rule? (as in take out "pitched in line/outside", "impact in line/outside", "pitched outside leg" etc out of the equation and only make decisions based on whether or not the ball would go on to hit the stumps)

(a) Who do you think is the most undeserving player who is currently holding his place in the Indian playing X1?
(b) Who would you replace him with?


Your favorite cricket game till date?

(a) Do you play any other computer games other than cricket?
(b) If yes, your favorite non-cricket game till date?

List one thing that

• you like about PC.org
• you dislike about PC.org

If you had control over time, what is the one thing that you would go back in time and change?

1. Modi or Modi2010 was obviously a fictional character inspired by the real Lalit Modi and me being the PCPL chairman at the time, it was kind of a joke which let many believe that edition of the PCPL was rigged. I think it all started with Colin changing my username to Modi2010 and many other active posters' usernames were also changed to Modi2, Modi3, etc.

2. 26

3. Definitely cars!

4. I won't as I always believe it is you members who are the real judges. In general if you ask, I would say I wasn't able to contribute much towards the betterment of the site after being an admin. It also had to do with my activity not being too great here as I was mostly posting via mobile.

Where does your username come from?

1. He is a bloody traitor!

Nah the things are nothing like what people see or perceive over here from our posts. It is all friendly talk. But yeah he is a traitor!

2. Yes but, not as often as I used to in my teens. I am a pure RH batsman now. Earlier I used to bowl medium pacers/off spinners but my action wasn't too great so stopped bowling.

 

[VC the slogger]

What kind of music do you like listening to?

Your favorite/most listened to artist?

Do you work out?

Why did you offer me a sports book spot, having Ark in the queue already?

Which fast bowler (bowling in excess of 140kmph)

• do you think has the cleanest action - I really like Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav both. If I were to pick one, I will say Shami.
• action do you like the most - Shami again.

Do you think the concept of red cards in cricket is ridiculous?

I haven't really followed recent changes so don't really know what exactly red cards are going to be used for. I however do feel it wasn't really needed.

Do you think it would make much more sense to simplify the LBW rule? (as in take out "pitched in line/outside", "impact in line/outside", "pitched outside leg" etc out of the equation and only make decisions based on whether or not the ball would go on to hit the stumps)

Maybe it would. But I like how it currently is and with technology improving day by day, it will only get better decision wise. I like it mostly because it adds to the excitement seeing all reds or you know two reds and one green while watching on tv.

(a) Who do you think is the most undeserving player who is currently holding his place in the Indian playing X1?

ODIs atm in Australia series I would say Rahane. He is in my list of favorite players but I think he hasn't improved as a one day player at all.

(b) Who would you replace him with?

Dhawan/Rahul.


Your favorite cricket game till date?

Cricket 2004/DBC 14.

(a) Do you play any other computer games other than cricket?

Not now but I used to play many earlier.

(b) If yes, your favorite non-cricket game till date?

Midtown Madness/Saw.

List one thing that

• you like about PC.org - Difficult to pick one. Almost all.
• you dislike about PC.org - Nothing that goes to the stage of disliking it tbh.

If you had control over time, what is the one thing that you would go back in time and change?

Cricket related, I would make India win the final of the 2003 WC. It was heart breaking for me specially as I just started watching cricket then.

1. I registered in Jan 2010 with this account hence the username.

2. I don't think I can answer that. I think there is nothing like a biggest contribution or something like that. How one goes about posting and the overall value one brings to the site is what matters the most.

3. @Varun definitely!!! The greatest there can ever be.

I only get a bit of time for that so watch whatever the wife says.

Game of Thrones - yay or nay?

Nay

Do you work out?

Not regularly which is unfortunate.[DOUBLEPOST=1506683996][/DOUBLEPOST]

Why did you offer me a sports book spot, having Ark in the queue already?

I don't exactly remember but maybe you stood out? Also all such decisions are made only after consulting all the admins. And there are no Qs as such.

Tbh they had all the fun before I was made an admin.. Colin deleting the entire PC database and all his posts in there were epic!

Nothing major I would like to change.
