The more I see, the more I feel the appraisals in the health insurance claims sector are linked to the claims they reject. They probably celebrate after these rejections. In patients and caregivers, they have easy prey, for these are people going through their vulnerable worst.

The extra runs the all-rounder would score are NOT worth the wickets a specialist fast bowler would taken. Or the rest Bumrah could have had.

India played defensive cricket throughout the series. They kept playing one specialist fast bowler less than they should have. They focused on batting depth. A few extra runs are NEVER worth it. At some point it was expected to take a toll on Bumrah. www.wisden.com/series/austr...

Overused National Treasure? India's Flawed Selection Has Sent Jasprit Bumrah's Workload Into Overdrive | AUS Vs IND
Jasprit Bumrah has provided an unprecedented dimension to the Indian pace attack, but he now runs the risk of being overbowled.

This is the first time India have been bowled out five or more times for <=185 totals in the same series against Australia. They did it thrice against England (1959 - 6 times, 1976-77, 2014) but never against other sides.

This Test cricket isn't good for my health. Need something less intense. Maybe like a T20 or something.

After this, leaving out Rohit Sharma at Sydney should not depend on the outcome. But knowing Indian cricket, it probably will.

Nathan Lyon holds the world record for most Test runs without a Test fifty. If he gets a fifty, the record will go to Kemar Roach.

🧵 This is a story that I have read many versions of, some of them by famous authors. Long, long ago, in a land far, far away, there lived a wise old man with many disciples. He used to perform sacred rituals. During one such ritual, a cat (some versions mention dogs) caused a lot of mischief. +

When Narayana Murthy declared that India's economic salvation lies in minimum 70-hour workweeks, fellow Brahmin uncle Vivek Ramaswamy said, 'Hold my filter kaapi. I will show how to lecture an entire nation about their cultural failings!’ 😆😆🤣

With the series level 1-1, they picked six bowlers (some of them all-rounders) at Melbourne. Their thin batting collapsed against a strong attack. They lost the series 1-3, ending a long undefeated streak against the opposition. This is about the Australian side of 1954-55.

🧵 The year 2012 was a particularly low phase of my life. Cricket usually heals a lot. It was supposed to, again, but after the cakewalk at Ahmedabad came that Cook-Pietersen stand and the Swann-Panser pairing at Mumbai. +

Fourth Test v England, 2016-17. Anderson had said a word or two about Kohli. Sure enough, when Anderson came out to bat, Ashwin “greeted” him. “For a change I was the pacifier” (not verbatim) said Kohli after the Test.

Thank you, Ashwin, for the memories. The wickets. The runs. The explanations. The analyses. The stances on the field – absolutely justified ones – that many hesitated to take. A YouTube channel we keep returning to. And a book that raised the bar of Indian cricket literature.

Shreyas Iyer is the only captain to win both the IPL and the SMAT. And he has done this “double” in the same year.

Kohli and Shastri would have left out one of NKR and the spinner for another fast bowler. This is a defensive team management. I thought India had left the days behind, but it seems Kohli was the peak, not the first step.

Bumrah now has 190 Test wickets. What is special about this number, you may ask. 190 allows us to use “no bowler with as many wickets has a better average”. You see, Barnes had 189 wickets. 190 is the 6997 for bowlers.

highly controversial take by @ovshake42.bsky.social but I think its worth considering especially given how india (typically) like to line up overseas. 4 frontline bowlers + one spinner.
