A thread on India's - how the hell did we lose this test - in SENAZ countries since the 1990's.

(SENAZ - South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe)
1. India vs NZ at Wellington 1998.

We were 16/4 recovered to post 208 courtesy a masterly hundred by Azhar. Conceded 150+ run lead. Somehow managed to set a tricky target of 213. Have the opposition reeling at 74/5..... And we lost by 4 wickets..

2. India vs Zimbabwe Harare 2001.

Erasing a deficit of 78, India were quite comfortably placed at 197/3. Collapse ensued and we were all out for 234.
Zimbabwe quite comfortably chased 157.

PS - India didn't win a series in Zim till 2005.

3. Ind vs Aus MG 2003

Yes Sehwag scored a memorable 195. But we collapsed from 311/3 to 366 all out.. Aus bossed the game, but 2nd innings recovery - 252/4. Then the inevitable collapse. 286 all out. Aus chased a target of 96 easily.

4. Ind vs SA Cape Town 2007

Worst culprit. Sub continental wicket. 41 runs ahead after 1 innings each. Time to boss SA around and win the series.... All out for 169. Sensible chase from SA and a golden opportunity to win a series went to bust.

5. Ind v Eng Nottingham 2011

Eng 124/8. Swann and Broad throw their bats around and reach 221. India comfortably placed at 267/4. We combust to 288 all out. A potential lead of 100+ was reduced to 67. Then Eng bossed Ind in the 3rd innings to win easily.

espncricinfo.com/series/12838/s…
6. Ind v Aus MCG 2011

Aus 333 all out. India 214/2. SRT and RSD in midst of their final 100+ partnership.. Inevitable collapse after SRT's wicket. 282 all out. India never in the game after that. A team of Sehwag, RSD, SRT, VVS never won a series in Aus.

7. Ind v SA Durban 2013

Vijay and Pujara had done well to get India to 198/1. Inept batting got us all out for only 334. SA bossed the game from there on.

espncricinfo.com/series/11866/s…
8. Ind v NZ Wellington 2014

What can you say about this game.. 246 run lead. Opposition staring at innings defeat at 94/5. Virat dropped McCullum and then we then proceed to bowl 173 more overs for 3 more wickets.

End result - draw and a series loss

9. Ind v SA Centurion 2018

A Kohli masterclass gets India within striking distance of SA's 1st innings total. SA are then 3/2. Inept bowling after that.. SA recover to set India a target of 287 and Ind is blown out for 151.

espncricinfo.com/series/18065/s…
10. Ind v Eng Birmingham

Another Kohli masterclass gets India within striking distance of Eng's 1st innings total. Eng are 87/7. Sam Curran shows his batting prowess and Ind set a target of 194. Kohli gets out for 51 and we collapse for 162.

espncricinfo.com/series/18018/s…
11. Ind v Eng Southampton 2018

Eng 86/6 becomes 246. India 142/2 becomes 195/8 before recovering to 273. Eng 122/5 and recover to 271.
Tough start, but a century partnership.. Kohli gets out and 123/3 becomes 184 all out.

espncricinfo.com/series/18018/s…
12. Ind v WI Barbados 1997

Too painful to recall - hence focused on SENAZ. But this has to be our worst "AJM abroad". West Indies 95/8 with a lead of 74 post 140.
India proceed to make only 81 chasing 120.

‼️WHAT IS CHINA’s BELT and ROAD INITIATIVE (BRI)?

📌The project is often described as a 21st century silk road, made up of a “belt” of overland corridors and a maritime “road” of shipping lanes.
theguardian.com/cities/ng-inte…
📌Beijing’s multibillion $ Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) has been called a Chinese Marshall Plan, a state-backed campaign for global dominance, a stimulus package for a slowing economy & a massive marketing campaign for Chinese investment around the world
theguardian.com/cities/ng-inte…
📌Over the five years since President Xi Jinping announced his grand plan to connect ASIA, AFRICA and EUROPE, the initiative has morphed into a broad catchphrase to describe almost all aspects of Chinese engagement abroad.

💰TaxFraud💰

NYS Tax Dept reviewing fraud allegations involving Trump

The Trumps’ tax maneuvers show a pattern of deception.

Trump by age 3, earned $200k a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. In his 40s & 50s, he rec’d +$5M a year.
💰TaxFraud2💰

That ‘small loan’ of $1 million was actually at least $60.7 million — much of it never repaid

Fred Trump wove a safety net that rescued his son from one bad bet after another

The Trumps turned an $11 million loan debt into a legally questionable tax write-off
💰TaxFraud3💰

Father and son set out to create the myth of a self-made billionaire

Trump tried to change his ailing father’s will, setting off a family reckoning

The Trump parents dodged hundreds of millions in gift taxes by grossly undervaluing the assets they would pass on

THREAD: The US @StateDept released its annual #ReligiousFreedom report today. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, here's where #LGBT issues come up in this year's reports.
#LGBT issues feature in this year's reports on Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, Costa Rica, Greece, Indonesia, Israel, Jamaica, the Maldives, Mauritania, New Zealand, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Sudan, Syria & Turkey. (And I probably missed others.)
The report on #Australia stays pretty neutral in its discussion of the legalization of same-sex marriage and subsequent push for religious exemptions under Australian law. state.gov/documents/orga…

South Africa votes through motion to seize land from white farmers without compensation!

This is what the Democrats want in the US. They want Trump out so they can complete their plans.

Redistribution of land. The people who work hard for their land now have it stripped from them to give to the poor. Once everyone is poor, government has all the power. How can anyone not see this for what it is?

South Africa‘s parliament has passed a motion that could lead to the seizure of land from white farmers without paying them compensation.
