THREAD - HANUMA VIHARI'S INSPIRING JOURNEY.

Joined the St.Johns Cricket Academy at the age of 11. And after few days his father passed away. But the next day, Vihari scored 80 in the final and won a school tournament.

 VVS was the first of five cricketers who came from St. John’s academy and went on to represent their country followed by Mithali Raj, MSK, Tarun Sai and Hanuma Vihari.
2012 - Picked as a last-minute replacement for the injured Manan Vohra for the 2012 U19 WC. India won the World Cup but he could only score 73 runs in 6 matches.
"That moment I told myself, I would be the first one to play for the national team from this U19 WC squad 2012."
- Hanuma Vihari in Spicy Pitch episode (cricbuzz)
2013 - SRH brought him in the IPL. Vihari opened the bowling as an off-spinner and removed Chris Gayle for just 1, also scored 46* in the same match while chasing and was awarded Man of the match in his 2nd IPL game.
Scored 241 runs in 17 games in IPL 2013, with two MOM.
2014 - Vihari was snubbed by the IPL franchise. He went to England, and played for Hutton County Club in the Essex First Division League, scored six centuries.
2015-16 : Scored bucket loads of runs in First-Class cricket.

2014-15 - Scored 856 runs at an average of 77.81

2015-16 - Scored 626 runs at an average of 48.15
FC Record (2015-18) :
I - 47
R - 2500
A - 60.92
HS - 302*
100/50 - 13/7
2017 - Leading run-scorer for Andhra in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy, with 752 runs in just six matches.
He also top scored for Rest of India in the Irani Cup in March against Ranji Trophy champions Vidarbha. Vihari scored 183 against the bowling attack comprising of Umesh Yadav and 2017-18 RT leading wicket-taker Rajneesh Gurbani.
After scoring tons of runs in the domestic seasons, he was named in India A's tour of England, Southafrica, Windies. He made the most of opportunity and played many valuable knocks for India A and was leading run-scorer in 2/3 of the above series.
2018 - Received an India call. And became the first cricketer from Andhra Pradesh to represent India after 19 years.

(He had a conversation with Rahul Dravid a day before his debut. - 2nd pic)
Scored a gritty 56 (124) in the first innings on a tough wicket + took a wicket of Alaister Cook.
And then came IND vs AUS tour 2018-19. Didn't played the 1st test.

2nd test - Replaced Rohit. Scored 20(46), 28(75) + took 2 wickets of set batsmen - Shaun Marsh and Marcus Harris.
3rd test - Played as an Opener at MCG, scored 8(66) [ batted for 90 minutes] against fearsome attack of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood and scored 13(45) in the second innings.

4th test - 42( 96).
2019 - Brought by Delhi Capitals. But played only 2 matches.
Windies tour - Missed a ton (93 off 128 balls) in the first match vs Windies. Scored a top notched 100 vs Westindies at Kingston and followed by 56 in the second innings. And became the first batsman since Sachin Tendulkar to score a century and a fifty in the same test.

2020 - IND vs NZ tour

7(20), 15(79) at Basin Reserve

55(70), 9(18) at Hagley Oval against a quality bowling attack with the likes of Boult, Southee, Wagner and Jamieson on the tough wicket.
2020 - At a time when his teammates were gearing up for the IPL more than 2500 miles away from Hyderabad, Hanuma Vihari was training and getting himself ready for the challenging Australia tour.
Started the tour well with a century in the warm-up game, but then scored 16, 8 and 21 in the first two Tests. Series level 1-1. An important match at SCG. People were raising doubts and his place was under pressure.
Dropped two catches in the field. India needed 306 to win the test match with 8 wickets in hand on the final day. Rahane falls cheaply. Pant came out to bat ahead of Vihari and it turned out to be a masterstroke. When Pant got out on 97, India still needed 156 runs to win.
Vihari came out to bat no.6. And after few overs he pulled his hamstring and was on his haunches on the SCG wicket. And now the question arises, Does he continue batting here,if he does so then he could be in more pain and miss the next Test Or he would walk back, and come later
But, he carried on. And from that point, he barely ran between the wickets. With Ashwin for company at the other end to offer constant encouragement, he scored a gritty 23*(161) and help India to draw the test match.
India were in trouble. Australia was on the verge of a winning a test match at one stage. Vihari was bit out of form, was under pressure and in some serious pain. But, he stood up for his team and delivered.

1) ⭐️The Watchlist⭐️

First off let's update the watchlist, focusing on players that you should keep an eye on going forward.


Quick reminder of last week's additions:

DEF: Cancelo - A bit punty since he is not nailed. Now it seems like he's playing midweek UCL games while Mendy plays the PL ones

MID: Jota - Looked good once again, bargain!

FWD: Vardy - Should be good going forward

DF: Lamptey (£4.8m) - Brighton started the season looking like one of the worst defences in the league, but seemed to have figured things out somewhat, only conceding 6 goals in their last 6 games which included tough tests against Spurs and Liverpool.


Facing four favourable fixtures in their next 5, Lamptey could have a baseline of clean sheets to support his penchant for attacking returns.

The thing about cricket in Australia is that it’s very white. I know, I know, I say that about everything (true but!) Just stick with me here. Cricket is verrrrrry white. More-so than other (well-loved) sports in this country.

Yes, it’s played in South Asia and the Caribbean (which is a thread in itself!) but I’m talking about cricket specifically here in Oz and more specifically in Sydney communities.

For some context. I grew up in Western Sydney and I have Lebanese heritage. This is important to note because growing up I didn’t know a single Lebanese-Australian person - kid, adult, man or woman - who played, watched or talked about cricket. ZERO.

Cricket was never on in our home (several reasons for that) and nor was it ever on in the homes of anyone I ever visited. EVER. This is not an exaggeration.

To give you an example of how much I did not know about cricket, I only heard of Richie Benaud when he died. (To be fair, I knew Steve and Mark Waugh because they were from Bankstown and sometimes in the local Torch newspaper. Also, I knew Shane Warne because of hair-loss ads).

A simple solution for Welsh rugby, achieved by splitting the administration and control of the community and professional game......1/

The professional game owns the competitions it plays in (so the actual clubs are the shareholders) and form an organisation similar to PRL in order to best serve their commercial interests. Competition & broadcast income no longer flows through the accounts of the WRU but 2/

rather is paid to the incorporated organisation owned by the clubs (with the WRU having a share, so an interest, in that organisation). The WRU share isn't dividend paying, however. That organisation then deals with all aspects of the professional game 3/

from dealing with CVC, to negotiating competition and broadcast income, to sponsors for the Autumn International series, to working with World Rugby on the World Calendar - everything. 4/

From the funds of that corporation, a licence fee is paid to the WRU for the use of the stadium. This licence fee replaces the grant the professional game pays (north of £10m at the moment) to the community game each year. This money, plus whatever the community game 5/

(Sorry, long, rambling, unthought-out thread here) I've lost count of the amount of times I have been proud to call myself an Unioner, and of their commitment to direct, and often local action instead of parrotting nebulous and often ultimately meaningless phrases.

I know personally people at the club who take very seriously their commitment to eradicating racism from the club, as well as from football itself. But I have seen and heard racism in the stands, as well as on the way to and from games too many times before.

I have always shied away from acknowledging it. I've accentuated the positives, I've said it comes only from a small minority (which is also true), all because I don't want my own romantic image of the club to be tarnished, and I don't want to be guilty through association.

Or, to be honest, to endanger my privileged position of being able to write about the club I adore in the city I love.

When it happens it is a reflection of a broader racism in Germany, and in football, but that is no excuse for my inaction, for my sitting on my hands and hoping the problem goes away, so I can just go back to hailing them as a rebellious club from a rebellious city.

Anyone with children in schools, please read this (thread

Let’s start with the sub head:
“The coronavirus gospel of ‘within six feet for more than 15 minutes’ wasn’t enough—and the NFL had the data to prove it.”

The Cincinnati Public School board just voted that 3 feet of social distancing (aka NO DISTANCING) is enough at one of our high schools. Where did they get they data to back this up? No idea. Definitely not from the

Back to the NFL, and the linked article:
“The guidance was that someone had been exposed to the virus if they had been within six feet of an infected person for more than 15 minutes.

It was drilled into everyone for so long it became coronavirus gospel. But that wasn’t proving true during the NFL’s outbreaks.”

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.

and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.
In the next section we find the character of King Priyavrat and his sons, different types of loks in this universe, and description of Narak. ( https://t.co/gmDTkLktKS )


In the sixth part we find the portrayal of Ajaamil ( https://t.co/LdVSSNspa2 ), Daksh and the birth of Marudgans( https://t.co/tecNidVckj )

In the seventh section we find the story of Prahlad and the description of Varnashram dharma. This section is based on karma vaasna.

1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?
