For the world T20 championship I am going to say something extreme. Rohit Sharma, the only person left from the first T20 World Cup, should not be the first XI. I know he shines in ICC tournaments & I hope he proves me wrong, but we need a more aggressive opening pair than now
Yes my openers are Shaw and Ishan Kishen. The England approach. Go hell for leather. But back it up in next 2. Surya and Kohli.
After that the two finishers: Hardik and Pant. Followed by 2 all rounders: Kunal and Jadeja. Followed by 2 bowling all rounders: Shardul and Deepak Chahar. With Bumrah at end.
So 6 bowlers. And batting upto number 10.

Follow me on Clubhouse. I can’t promise you Prashant Kishore level honesty though.
If what I am reading actually happened in Clubhouse, no wonder Modi and Shah win. It’s like Wasim Akram bowling to Rinku Singh.
For those who have asked for Clubhouse invites, I have 5. Please provide phone numbers and oh how I wish I had this ruse to get phone numbers in the 90s during my salad days....

IPL thread. The only weakness MI has is that there hasn’t been a Netflix MI documentary for years, what would be better than to see Chris Lynn playing rumaalchor at Antila & inspirational speeches from the Ambanis. Otherwise MI has the greatest T20 side that ever drew breath.
Ambani ka haath is truly magical. They have God on their payroll, Talent as their captain, one end of the Modi stadium, and while sky may be the limit for others, they have him at one-drop. How can anyone go up against them?
The only player in Delhi Capitals who would fit in to the Capital of Delhi is Ricky Ponting. The rest of the side has talent but not much character, which is why they lose to the Ambanis, and if that sounds familiar it is.

The last thing I had in 8 stages in Bengal was a sit down dinner during a wedding (back when people still had them). Lemon(yes they identified that as an item too), radhaballabi, aloor dum, fish, chicken, doi, misthi, paan.
This was of course the “Bengali middle class menu”. Variations were cholar dal and beguni. If the groom had a private sector job (i.e. executive), there would be a fancy item like “fish orly” or “chili pheesh”. If mutton was served, there was a presumption of “black money”.
This was of course Jyoti Basu times. Even if people had money, they would keep it low key to avoid army of local toughs to show up to extort with a “yeh hum hai, yeh humara Marx hai, aur yahan CPM pawty ho rahee hai”

One shouldn’t be surprised at the dual standards of censorship Twitter adopts for the home country (US) and “third-world” countries like India. Since it’s not bad to use work terms on the wokes, this is institutional racism.
Countries like India need to be taught what free speech is. An incident where a non-national flag is forcibly planted on a symbol of authority is dissent whereas the exact same thing in US is insurrection. The ones who abetted the former are dissidents while the later are banned
Now here is what The Time reported. Not Fox. Time.

With respect to Twitter banning permanently @realDonaldTrump and the justification it provides requires attention. It’s the easiest thing to ban him after he stopped being the President and can no longer take steps to the commercial detriment of the corporation.
It’s obvious that after the unprecedented incidents in DC, there was commercial pressure in terms of shareholders and Directors to take steps, if for nothing more than to ensure that the Biden admin doesn’t come down hard on them.
There is a good case to suspend Trump based on his tweet during the invasion of Capitol Hill, which was to effectively point his supporters to his own VP Pence. This was as good a case as any to not just suspend him but criminally prosecute him.

microsoft.com/security/blog/… great step by step breakdown of one of the biggest (if not the biggest) supply chain compromise in history.
Trying to explain this for non-cyber folks: Recently, a state actor (Psst it's Russia) compromised leading cybersecurity firms (like Fireeye, enabling the bad guys to look at what good guys were doing to take them down), and upper echelons of the Us government.
They did this by getting into the code of a network administration system that is an industry-standard, and because network admin tools run at highest privilege, essentially anyone using these tools had become "khullam khullah" for the attackers.
