OP

After frankly two terrible white ball series against England - especially in T20 - and the series loss to Ireland, do you think India bounce back against Zim?

India are yet to win under Shreyas’s captaincy and away in Zimbabwe is a tough place to go.

I think its Rohit's 264 for sure!

Not talking about traditional virtual cricket. I found B1's AI Cricket, where players are controlled by AI and not scripts, and so the match is played differently each time. Now I'm interested whether this kind of format would be useful in filling in time between actual fixtures.

Have you ever come across anything like this before and what do you think about it?

In odi , there is no debate . In test , they are nearly equal . Because when people talk about clutch for ben stokes , they always tell about his batting .

And head in home ashes is far better than stokes at his home . And we know how Starc owns him in Australian pitches .

Only in T20 international only stokes is ahead . If we add league cricket in it , they are again equal .

So head > Stokes , unless you wanna make some useless gangsta crybie edit . Head is the real character , only comparable to kohli , not stokes .

I almost exclusively see players wearing white cricket shoes. Do any of you actually wear colored ones like the ones in the attached Question.jpg? I'm curious if there's an actual preference for these colors, or if everyone just defaults to white because it's traditional. Let me know your thoughts!

Rooted for it v hard and now literally jumping from seat with every shot🔥🔥😭😭🧿🧿

It’s been a long time since Prasidh Krishna started getting regular chances, and if we take away 4–5 good matches, he hasn’t been effective at all. The only reason I can see why he was preferred over Siraj in the first place is his height and high-arm release, but that hasn’t been as effective as GG and the selectors probably thought it would be. Last year, Siraj was excellent on these pitches during the India vs England Test series, and he always seems to step up and take responsibility whenever Bumrah is rested or unavailable. What are your thoughts on this?

Disclaimer- This isn’t any hate post on Prasidh Krishna. He’s very hard working.

Just a match without Bumrah and we're getting thrashed.

Selection of Gurnoor Brar over Rasikh Salam or some others is still a question.

Are there any dependable pacers other than Bumrah and Siraj in India??

It’s painful how much we missed him. With Siraj ruled out for workload management, our bowling looked utterly toothless in English conditions. Without his early swing and aggressive intent in the powerplay, England just ran away with the games. We desperately needed his wicket-taking spark!

Game Dev here - I'll go first: my current rating is 1515, and I'm predicting CHALLENGER Tier.

I deliberately kept the tier cutoffs hidden, so I'm finding out with everyone else.

Reply with your rating and tier when it lands. Screenshots welcome.

Like when you buy a bat, what things do you look for?

Does the thickness of spine/edges matter?
Does the profile of the bat matter?
Is it bad, if it is above a specific weight?
Should it have a specific number of grains?
Is it having a spot or small blemishes, an outright deal breaker?
