Highlights of what happened after 36/9 - a thread.

#AUSvIND

 Boxing Day Test - we lose Virat, Ajinkya takes over captaincy, with a forgettable loss still lurking. We carry a record of not winning at the 'G while chasing. Aussie win the toss & elect to bat, meaning we'd have to bat fourth.

#AUSvIND
With Shami gone due to injury, Bumrah leads from the front making sure the Aussies bundle out within 200 with the other bowlers chipping in at regular intervals. Ashwin picking Smith for a blob is the most special part of it all.

#AUSvIND
At 64/3 & in the danger of conceding a lead yet again and under immense pressure, captain Rahane chips in with a 💯 which is at par with his Lord's knock & with Jaddu's contribution lower down, India manage a lead of 131.

#AUSvIND
Siraj, the son of an auto rickshawman, having lost his father before the series & not being able to attend the funeral, plays his debut Test, tears up during the national anthem. He was the highest wicket taker for India in the 2nd innings wrapping up Aussies for 200.

#AUSvIND
Needing 70 to win & losing a couple of early wickets, Gill steadies the ship, looking like a million dollars while batting on debut. India chase down the target, breaking the record. Ajinkya aptly hitting the winning runs & is awarded the MoM.

#AUSvIND
SCG Test - India lose Umesh to injury, Saini makes his debut, Rohit is back. With Marnus & Smith scoring runs on a pitch that absolutely did nothing, Jaddu chips in with 4 wickets.

#AUSvIND
Gill notches up his debut 50 and Pujara added the same score as well. The middle order failed but Jaddu remains not out giving some fight.

Injury concerns arise with Jaddu ruled out to bowl in the 2nd innings & Pant not being able to keep, his batting in doubt.

#AUSvIND
With a bowler short, India find it tough to restrict the free-scoring Aussies. The four bowlers give it their all as the hosts set a target of 407 for the visitors, declaring at 312/6.

#AUSvIND
India end with on 90/2 at EOD after a good start by the openers. Jinks goes early the next day as Pant (with an injured arm) & Pujara, defending & attacking, put on a steady partnership giving a glimmer of hope for an unlikely win.

#AUSvIND
Counter attacking, Pant lets loose, a victory looking more than possible at the moment. But when you live by the sword, you die by it. Pant goes for 97 just before taking the new ball & Pujara goes soon after, just after the new ball is taken. A win out of question.

#AUSvIND
Ash joins Vihari to help India draw the match with Jaddu being injured. Both batsmen at crease end up playing with injuries, battling on with the bruises, ducking both the deliveries and sledges thrown at them with immaculate patience, grit, determination & class.

#AUSvIND
India draw the Test at Sydney, series still poised at 1-1 with a ripper waiting at Gabba. But injury concerns resurface again as they lose Vihari, Ash, Bumrah and Jaddu to injuries ahead of the final & important Test of the series.

#AUSvIND
Gabba Test - Natarajan, a bowler from a small village in Salem, who wasn't picked in the initial squad is set to make his Test debut. Alongwith Washy. And Shardul who's hardly played a Test. India bowl first at Gabba, Siraj who's 2 Tests old, leads the attack.

#AUSvIND
Yet another injury & India lose Saini who can't bowl further in the first innings. Marnus scores a 100, Australia score 369.

History said, Aussies have never been beaten when they scored above 350 at Gabba & that India've never won there before. :)

#AUSvIND
At 186/5 with a huge lead staring down at us, a debutant at 7 & an almost debutant at 8 come together to knit a mind boggling partnership of 123 runs, notching up half centuries, showing resilience second to none & helping India reduce the lead by a large margin.

#AUSvIND
Again with a depleted bowling attack, Siraj picks up a fifer, well assisted by Shardul as well. The target set is 328 & overs are lost due to rain. India 4/0 at the end of day 4, requiring 324 from a possible 98 overs on the final day.

#AUSvIND
Rohit gets out early, reducing the chances of a win a little. Gill again looks like a dream, taking on Starc, pulling and cover driving to perfection before a loose shot sends him back for an extremely classy & well made 91. Almost cementing his place in the side.

#AUSvIND
Pujara the warrior, taking hits and bruises on every part of his body, fights on. From 6 (60), he starts to accelerate, slowly but surely. As wickets fall on the other end, he holds fort making sure a draw is never out of option if by chance we don't get a win.

#AUSvIND
As Pujara goes to the new ball, it's on Pant. A win is still an option, but what if he gets out going for it? What if he plays a rash shot? What if nerves get better off him? What if there is a sudden rush of blood? Lot of questions asked as we enter the final hour.

#AUSvIND
He answers all of them with his bat. He defends, he attacks, he pulls, he falls down, he comes down the track, he plays the unorthodox shots but more importantly he stays. He stays there. Till the end, hitting the winning runs helping India win the match & the series.

#AUSvIND
Look at his face, look at the satisfaction on it, the relief. All the criticisms, all of them who thought he was over, what a way to answer them. What a fighter, what a freaking rockstar of a guy! We owe him, we owe him big. We owe every single player in the squad.

#AUSvIND
Not just Pant, every player has a back story that'll move you, every player showed a lot of character. From 36/9 to coming back to level the series & then going on to win it - words fall short!

Team India, class of 2020-21, #AUSvIND - take a bow.

Man Utd 3 v 2 Liverpool — Tactics #MUFC
----------------------------------------------------------


In this thread, we'll look at couple of the highlights and tactical tweaks both teams used to attack each other. We'll look at Man Utd's mistakes that lead to the goals as well. #MUFC

Right from the off, Liverpool looked to hurt United with quick switches of play to catch out their out of possession 442 setup. A quick switched ball from Robertson to TAA catches Rashford, Shaw and Maguire OOP & force them to adjust quickly. Rashford is vital here for TAA's run.


United looked to do the same but with Rashford. Switch the play or drag Liverpool out, find Rashford, and Rashford looks for Cavani and/or Greenwood. Liverpool adopt a very highline as they usually have the possession, so this can be exploited heavily. LIV: 442 OOP. #MUFC


Notice where Firmino is. Liverpool used the same idea of overloading the midfield to create 4v3. United adapted at Anfield and had one of the wingers tuck when the ball is on the far-side. Look at Rashford. #MUFC

(THREAD)

There will be no real theme throughout this thread like I usually have. Simply wanted to talk about a couple of topics from the past few gameweeks.

Let’s start with Leicester assets that have a great schedule coming up with eve, LEE, ful, wol. It seems like...

Rodgers has decided the front 3 now with Maddison, Barnes and Vardy. Let’s compare them per start over their last 4 games:

Barnes vs Maddison vs Vardy

xG: 0,49 - 0,12 - 0,35
Touches in the box: 5,25 - 1,33 - 6,67
Shots: 3,5 - 2 - 3,33
Shots on target: 1,5 - 0,67 - 0,67

xA: 0,11 - 0,13 - 0,23
Key passes: 0,5 - 2,67 - 0,67
FPL points: 6,5 - 7,67 - 4

Interestingly enough it’s actually Harvey Barnes that has shown the most promise out of the Leicester attack in recent weeks, especially if you look at value for money with Vardy being...

considerably more expensive than Maddison and Barnes. Barnes is the cheapest and the lowest owned Leicester attacker. He is definitely a differential that I am looking towards despite it being tough to fit in all the great midfielders in FPL this season.

Kane vs Son

Kane over the last 3 games (LEE, FUL, shu) vs the previous 3 games (liv, LEI, wol)

FPL points: 29 - 6
Goals: 3 - 0
Assists: 1 - 0

xG: 2,07 - 0,22
xA: 1,64 - 0,05

We're all loving the return of the UCL but in terms of football folklore, a fixture going down in Chile tonight may just be the most important match of the week.

It's a relegation playoff between CD Universidad & Colo Colo it has all of Chile holding it's breath. (THREAD)


It's all because the away side is Colo Colo, the country's biggest, most successful club, with 32 titles & the only Chilean Copa Libertadores trophy.

They have never even come close to relegation & the sheer thought of going down is causing all kinds of scenes across the country


From the ritualistic Grandma's doing their bit to convince the football sprits to keep them in the top


To the 5,000 fans outside who awaited the team bus outside the training ground for one last motivational


And of course the club's Barra Bravas with their own take on motivation

How you can filter stocks for Intraday trades - 🧵

As a kid, we would do homework before school the next day - you have to do homework here too. A specific sector performs on a particular day and studying things a day before will help you spot that particular sector. (1/11)

To prepare for the next trading day, you got to check the Index charts of all sectors. You got to keep an eye on a specific Index if you see a few factors:

- If any Index closed exactly at the resistance, you can get a trade on either side on the next day. (2/11)

- If it gave a rejection candle at resistance.

- If any Index closed exactly at support, you can get a trade on either side the following day.

- If there was a bullish signal at the support.

- If any Index gave a breakout or breakdown and then gave a good closing. (3/11)

- If any Index has taken support at 50 or 200 EMA.

Once you spot the Index, look at all the stocks in that particular Index. Pick at least 3-4 stocks from that Index and add them to your watchlist for the next day. It's ideal to check both higher and lower timeframes. (4/11)

What you should do next day? (When I am unable to check Indices and stocks a day before, I sometimes directly start with this process.)

- Start with checking the top gainers/losers list. I observe market from 9:15 to 9:45am to check the sectors performing well on that day.(5/11)

How to create a freelancing website that makes money.

Everything I've learned.

A thread.

As a freelancer,

Your website is everything.

First, prioritise its existence.

Second, prioritise its improvement.

The technology you use is irrelevant.

- WordPress
- Notion
- Carrd
- Wix

It doesn't matter which you choose,

What matters is you have a website.

Pick a platform that you're comfortable with.

If you can:

- Capture leads
- Add content easily
- Have a clear design

You're good.

If your website doesn't get leads,

It's not working.

Don't rest on a website that doesn't work for you.

Improve it until it does.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."


We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
