🔥The Forgotten Warriors: EP 10🔥
D Martyn: @damienmartyn.
Nov 1, 2003. Ind vs Aus. Mumbai - TVS Cup.
Aus 55-2 (6 Overs)
Many things had happened in the space of the 1st six overs in Wankhade. India dismissed @HaydosTweets for a golden duck, thanks to @ImZaheer and then..1⃣

got rid of dangerous looking @gilly381 who blistered to 41 off just 30 balls with the help of @harbhajan_singh. The red soil of wankhede was already showing its colour with the pitch already turning and bouncing. The match was on cliffhanger and in came the protagonist...2⃣
of today's show @damienmartyn and within no time he showed why he was batting at one of the most toughest position in ODIs (the no.4) for an Australian team that had so many special batters. So what was special about @damienmartyn and esp this innings i.e. in discussion?3⃣
So let me create the match experience with words here or to say let me try putting the scenarios for you all:
----
Scenario 1:
@harbhajan_singh was getting grip and bounce. Ind responded with a slip, silly point and forward shortleg..4⃣
Aus were looking to consolidate as they scored only 10 runs in the next 24 balls. Bhajji bowls one short and Martyn waits, then rolls his hand over the bowl and cuts it through point. Boundary.

Scenario 2:
@imAagarkar bowls one that beats @damienmartyn's outside edge..5⃣
Aus had lost @RickyPonting meanwhile and needed someone to take the innings through... So what does Martyn do next ball?

Well, he hits one over the bowlers head to long on for a boundary. Pressure transferred back to India.
6⃣
Scenario 3:
Martyn completed his 50 off 84 balls in the 39th over. Slow right? Wait a sec. Hold on. Because @damienmartyn wasn't going to hold on. He scored 50 runs in the next 33 balls along with #Bevan. The carnage included inside out.. 7⃣
cover drive when @YUVSTRONG12 pitched full, cut short balls and then hit over midwicket when @anilkumble1074 was full. Commentators were awed by the range. Bowlers confused. He kept slashing over mid on, sweeping, driving straight. Not once did the rhythm break.8⃣
And not once did he look out of shape or ugly and scored his 1 off the 5 hundreds. The musician (if he were one atleast with the bat in the hand) average 40 in ODIs, 46 in Tests. Stay tuned to know more.

Part 1-- completed-- Part 2 on @damienmartyn career stats coming soon..

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.


This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."

There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?

It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."

The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
