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.

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/

The Haas / Force India argument is fascinating, and the decision of the stewards may still have consequences. The first key finding is that the stewards ruled Racing Point Force India to be a valid constructor. That means that it builds its own cars.

Haas had argued that the cars had been designed by Force India, but as Haas knows only too well, "outsourcing" is legal. The stewards decided that "there is no regulatory support for the argument that Outsourcing of Listed Parts cannot come from a former or excluded team."

In determining this, the stewards also came to the following conclusion: "In relation to the submission by the Racing Point Force India F1 Team that it is not a new team, the Stewards decide that the Racing Point Force India F1 Team is indeed a new team."

This will have a big knock on effect for Haas in its continued arguments over the rights of RPFI as relates to its eligibility and rights under the complex payments structure. Haas has argued all along that RPFI should be treated as a new team and tread the same path that it did.

TLDR? Haas lost the fight but may have won the war. In having its argument that Racing Point hadn't designed their own car thrown out, they gained clarification that RPFI was a new team.

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

Semenya is an in­cred­ibly powerful runner from South Africa, a two-time Olympic champion. She has also been the subject of controversy since the beginning of her career over decade ago.


Semenya has an intersex condition, though she doesn’t publicly speak about it: Her body allegedly produces testosterone at a higher level than most women.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that if Semenya wanted to continue to compete, she would be required to take medications to lower it.


The CAS, which was upholding a previous ruling by the @WorldAthletics , admitted that the decision was tantamount to discrimination. But, a statement read,...

“discrimination is a necessary, reasonable and proportionate means of achieving the IAAF’s aim of preserving the integrity of female athletics.”

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.

Again, at such a key moment in UK and at such high political levels, evidence of deep misunderstanding of EU: The PM is under pressure in some quarters to delay #Brexit vote to allow her first to “improve” deal in Brussels BUT EU is determined not to budge at this stage

2) All EU leaders watching tomorrow’s vote. Of course they want to avoid a no deal #Brexit BUT they feel the deal - so painfully negotiated between EU and UK - is too fresh to re-open. Clarifications, yes but fundamental renegotiations, no.

3) The EU’s international reputation as a tough deal-maker is at stake here too. If Brussels now suddenly “gives in” to U.K. on EU red lines (eg backstop) then that would weaken the EU’s reputation in future trade negotiations with other non EU countries

4) Also on backstop the EU is unlikely to cave in to favour a relationship with a leaving member state (UK) against the explicit wishes and ignoring the deep concerns of a continuing member: Ireland.

5) Both the EU and the PM signed up to a guarantee to protect the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. If either the U.K. or EU can leave the backstop unilaterally then this clearly is no longer a guarantee.
