Thoughts on Ishan :

(and ict in general)

1. When he opted out of India's test squad before our series with S. Africa....I knew... I KNEW it will be a long time before we'll get to see him playing for India again.

And then few weeks later Rahul Dravid said in a press conference... He can come back... Just play domestic.... My heart sank.

Here's the thing, I don't blame him at all for taking a break due to mental fatigue.

I fully support his decision as well. He prioritised himself and that's good.

But my dude... If I was your friend, if I was there with you... I wouldn't have let you go.

I would have grabbed his trousers and refused to let go. This is team India. You take one step back and 10 other people are standing right behind you ready to take your place.

Shubhman gill was hyped up so much... Remember his 126 in 63 balls against New Zealand?

But he faltered.

And Today he's in reserve.

Jaiswal is going to be our new opener in all 3 formats very soon. And there's nothing wrong with that. The guy earned it.

Ishan left the South Africa Series and a month later during the india Vs England test Series Jurel was picked and he did an excellent job.

Now imagine... Imagine if Ishan was there instead... If ishan had scored those 90 runs.....he would have made his place permanent.

I'll repeat myself.... I don't blame him for leaving... But he should have thought this through. Especially when a guy like Rahul Dravid is your coach.

(he's the same guy who gave declaration during a test match when Sachin Tendulkar was about to score a century. He's not as innocent as he looks.)

Another thing which really hurts me is how so many people complain about him being benched and then dropped but Yaar....there are tons of players who have gone through this.

Even Ashwin was benched. He said in an interview that when his team would win he wouldn't even feel like going in the ground to congratulate them coz of how hurt he felt.

It happens.

.

.

.

Anyways My overall opinion on this drama is :

1. I support him for leaving.

2. But I hate that he left.

3. A block of ice would be a better coach than Rahul Dravid.

Anyways... Jo hogaya so hogaya.

What I want now is for him to focus on his future.

And He can start by leaving Mumbai Indians.

MI was the team who would pick young players, groom and invest in them and make them capable enough for team India.

The MI we have seen this year is no longer that team. It doesn't matter how many reels their insta page puts out, the atmosphere of that team is tense, awkward and a hot mess.

If Mumbai really cared about a future captain as they claimed.... They should have made Ishan their new captain...like how csk and gt did with ruturaj and gill.

But oh well.

Right now... The best he can do is keep himself fit, play domestic and leave MI at THE EARLIEST.

That team, it's atmosphere, the mismanagement and inner conflicts (believe me, they exist) will not help him at all.

Imo, he doesn't need a team to grow. He has developed a good skill set. What he needs now is a stage.

A team like Kkr, RR or Gt will be great for that because these teams don't drop Their players after 1 or 2 matches... Have good coaches, stable environment and a good atmosphere overall.

Ishan is an excellent wicket keeper + batsman and the type of cricket he plays is best suited for t20 format (one day and test also but especially t20).

Whether we win or lose this t20 world cup... This one is the last one for our senior players.

After that, our youngsters will take charge (at least they should).

Yashasvi and Abhishek should be our openers.

Gill, rutu and Riyan would perfect be for middle order.

Ishan, with his explosive batting style, would be the perfect finisher.

Also... This dumb culture of batters not learning bowling (encouraged by this stupid impact rule) that has developed in the Indian team needs to STOP.

Look at Australia and New Zealand's t20 squad. Look at how many all rounders they have.

Look at ours. We won the 2007 cup because of all rounders as well.

Also... We cage our players. We hold them back. A player like Travis head is playing with such ferocity because his style and mindset is supported by his captain, his team and his media.

Meanwhile... If an Indian player attempts to do the same and doesn't make a big score in 2 -3 matches... He'll be benched instantly.

Another thing... If we look up the stats of our players in this year's t20 wc squad...

Except virat, Bumrah and maybe kuldeep ...everyone else is on ram bharose.

When players like n. reddy, ishan, rutu, gill, Riyan, natrajan... will be groomed and given enough opportunities....their aggressive style will be supported instead of criticized.... that's when we will win trophies.

Title: WMMT5DX+ to WMMT6 Changes w/ Riya's TRUE IMPREZA

IMPORTANT NOTE: I haven't posted my recent Wangan Maxi Tune experience, this month. So maybe, I could post at least once before doing some art stuff? Who knows? 🤔🤷‍♀️ Anyways, let's head over to my throwback...

The changes between 5DX+ and the No. 6 installment weren't as thin as before. 🤏 While the gameplay and graphics haven't changed since WMMT4 (well, kind of...?), the features from transferring data from 5DX+ to WMMT6 were a bit of a mixed bag. 😕 Like the "Extreme" VS Player mode was gone (which is an excitement challenge), and other body parts were removed, like "Body Stickers." The latter was my main concern for my 350Z and the Speedster's Impreza cars (GDB-C & GDB-F). Take Riya's Impreza Car [GBD-F].

• ABOVE PHOTO 🖼️📲: (Jan. 12,2019 at World Of Fun Arcade, SM Megamall) Here could you see her car itself was a custom body from "Racing Stripe 2" with pink color, GT Wing (3D) 1, Aero Parts C, Enkei Racing WRX TARMAC EVO Limited Edition FORGED Wheels, and FRP Bonnet A. All of them are equipped on her except her color because I need to unlock the "Light Blue" color (which is her color choice) by playing it many times.

• BELOW PHOTO 🖼️📲: Six months later, the WMMT6 was finally in the Philippines, and here's how her car was without all of the customs bodies except the Aero Parts - I picked the letter "H" for a different look. So why all of her custom bodies are wiped out except the entire Aero Parts are completely unlocked? Well because BNA (Bandai Namco Amusement) had a plan to return the level-up unlock body parts (after you beat a ghost car opponent(s)) which I've seen before in WMMT3DX+ among with predecessors, seems that in exchange for wiping off all custom cars to newly features like upgrade to 840HP when I finished the 100 episodes of "Story Mode" (that's also returned from previous Wangan Maxi installments), replacing RUF cars to Porsche brand, purchased a fully tuned ticket/ Mazda MX-5 RF RS [NDERC]/ Nissan Leopard with my Maxi Points, an improved "Online Ghost VS Battle" etc... So tbh and my opinion, well bit disappointing but very understandable so I respect that.

To this day, the developers of Wangan Maxi Tune are ongoing with updates and changes for both 6RR and 6RR+. And the latter installment has yet to be proven if it shipped to Southeast Asia 🇵🇭🇸🇬🇲🇾🇮🇩🇧🇳🇻🇳🇹🇭, and selected regions like Australia 🇦🇺, New Zealand 🇳🇿, and India 🇮🇳. North America 🇺🇸, on the other hand, still had the old (yet vanilla) 5DX+ installment... 😐😑

Riya 🐰🏎️ [wearing Teenager Hoppy and Teenager CatNap's clothes combined]: *Sigh* Yeah, and I bet we won't see our signature "Twin Stripes" sticker body, anytime soon. 😥 Even the launching 6RR+ installment to us, it won't happened. Curse you, BNA! 😐😑

‘I Abused Ishan Kishan, Had Fight With Him…’, Shubman Gill Reveals The Pre Match Converse With Ishan Kishan Before Getting 200 vs Kiwis

[news365timesindia]

[ad_1] India after defeating Australia at the Optus Stadium, Perth (PC: Debasis Sen) RevSportz Comment In the eyes of millions, Indian cricket came of age at Eden Gardens in March 2001, with a victory after following-on against Steve Waugh’s Invincibles. But it was other victories, away from home, in the same decade that truly established that Indian cricket was on an upward trajectory and not inclined to look back. Each was unexpected, as much a bucking of the odds as the World Cup final triumph in 1983, and because they came in the format where the better team invariably prevails, they became benchmarks for future generations to follow. At Headingley in 2002, Sourav Ganguly disregarded the bowler-friendly conditions at the toss and decided to bat. Rahul Dravid’s painstaking century, and a valuable 68 from Sanjay Bangar set up the game, and punishing hundreds from Sachin Tendulkar and the captain himself led India to a famous innings win, with Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh taking 11 wickets in the match. Less than 18 months later, India gave up 400 runs in a day and 556 in total in the first innings at the Adelaide Oval. But with Dravid and VVS Laxman reprising their Kolkata heroics by adding 303, and Ajit Agarkar summoning up the spell of his life (6-41), India eked out a four-wicket win almost as unreal as the Eden success. At the Wanderers in Johannesburg in 2006, Mickey Arthur, then South Africa’s coach, asked for pace and bounce. Dravid, again, and Tendulkar gritted their way through the toughest phase, before Ganguly made a sprightly half-century to lift India to 249. Sreesanth’s immaculate seam position, with support from Zaheer Khan, did the rest, as the hosts were skittled for 84 in their first dig. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Australia vs India, Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) In Perth in January 2008, on the heels of the Monkeygate fiasco that nearly saw the tour cancelled, Australia unleashed Shaun Tait, The Wild Thing, at the WACA in Perth, alongside Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark. But with Dravid, who else, making a gutsy 93, and Tendulkar contributing 71, India put 330 on the board. Their ‘pedestrian’ pace attack of Irfan Pathan, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma then took 14 of the 20 wickets to fall in a famous 72-run victory. The highlight was a teenage Ishant’s spell to Ricky Ponting on the fourth morning, with the Australian skipper put through the wringer before being put out of his misery. An emphatic 10-wicket win in Hamilton set up a first series win in New Zealand in over 40 years (2009), but equally noteworthy was the magnificent rearguard action that saved the next Test in Napier, spearheaded by none other than Gautam Gambhir, the current coach, who batted 643 minutes for his 137. Nearly two years later, on a lightning-quick Kingsmead deck, Sreesanth and Zaheer were to the fore as South Africa were routed again. Sreesanth’s bouncer which had Jacques Kallis jackknifing like a puppet on a string remains one of the most-played clips among Indian Test aficionados. India after winning the Perth Test vs Australia (PC: Debasis Sen) The impact of those wins What each of these victories did was ensure that the Virat Kohli-Cheteshwar Pujara-R Ashwin-Ajinkya Rahane-Rohit Sharma generation didn’t travel with the baggage or inferiority complexes of the past. Starting with Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami, there was a steady influx of genuinely quick bowlers into the XI, culminating in the inspired decision to give Jasprit Bumrah his red-ball debut at Newlands in January 2018. Over the past decade and a bit, India have won at venues as diverse as Lord’s, the MCG, Trent Bridge, Newlands, Adelaide, the Gabba in Brisbane and now the Optus Stadium. These results are no longer seismic shocks. And while no one takes them for granted, it’s now accepted that Indian cricket has what it takes to fight fire with a flame-thrower. In the 20th century, India played 157 Tests away from home, and won just 14. Of those,

two came against Australia’s Packer Era second-stringers, and one apiece in Sri Lanka — before the glory years — and Bangladesh. The first three overseas wins were all against a New Zealand then considered the international game’s basement side. This century, India now have 47 wins from 132 overseas Tests. If you narrow it down to the last decade alone, they have won more (23) than they’ve lost (18) on foreign fields. Nearly half of those (11) have been in the SENA countries where India once went as lambs to the slaughter. Ganguly may have frequently polarised opinion both as a player and leader, but it’s impossible to overstate just how much that brave call at the toss in Leeds all those years ago transformed Indian cricket. There have been hiccups aplenty along the way, but there would have been no Optus Stadium celebrations without the spadework done by Dravid and Bangar under the cloudy Yorkshire skies.

Fresh Blow To Virat Kohli After Poor Outing vs New Zealand, Hits 10-Year Low To Go Below Babar Azam Too

Virat Kohli‘s scores in the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand read 0, 70, 1, 17, 4, 1. And the reflection of that performance is clear on his ICC Test ranking. Courtesy his scores of 4 and 1 in the Mumbai Test that India lost, Kohli has dropped down eight places to 22nd. This is the India star’s lowest in over 10 years. In August 2014, he was ranked 24th after a lean tour of…

'Forgotten How To Plan Spin': Ex-India Player's Scathing Attack On Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma

The IND vs NZ has been a horror show for Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir's Team India so far. New Zealand have now won the Test series with a 2-0 lead.

IND vs NZ Test Series: India succumbed to New Zealand in their own backyard in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. With one Test match still left in the series, the Kiwis have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0, which has resulted to their first Test series win in India. This series loss against New Zealand has also dented India's hopes of playing the World Test Championship (WTC) final and they have a herculean task ahead of them.

Former India International Calls Out Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma

More than India's series defeat at home, their first in 12 years, it was their inability to play spin that has been called out. India, have always been a country that has earned its reputation as a good spin bowling playing country, but right now, things look pretty dismal. They were already outplayed in Bengaluru, in the first Test match, on a track that was seaming under grey skies. India were bundled out for 46 in the first innings and that led to their downfall.

Come to Pune, India tried to trap the Kiwis on a wicket that had plenty for the spinners, but their plan backfired. The Pune wicket exposed the inability of India's top stars to play spin bowling. Many have also criticized India's senior pros such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for how they ignored the Duleep Trophy and did not prepare well enough for red ball cricket. Now former India player Sunil Joshi has called out both Rohit and Virat, the Indian top order over their glaring technical flaws.

'If our spinners can win us Test matches at home, our batters too should be able to play spin. We've pretty much forgotten how to plan spin. Will we see our top-order batsmen go back and play domestic cricket? You won't be able to play spinners, if you don't play domestic cricket. Back in the day, every big player would go back to domestic cricket, play a few matches and then go for Test cricket. Why can't our top-order players do that?' said Joshi, while speaking to star sports.

India's World Test Championship Final Hopes India

Before the star of the IND vs NZ Test series, India required only three wins from their seven games, but the ongoing Test series against the Kiwis has completely turned the scenario on its heads. After enduring a 2-0 series loss against Tom Latham's New Zealand, India will have to win 4 out of their remaining six Test matches which makes the next Test match in Mumbai a complete must-win match for India.

[ad_1] Washington Sundar in third test vs NZ (PC: BCCI/X) Over two Indian Premier Leagues, in 2023 and 2024 respectively, Washington Sundar bagged a mere four wickets in nine matches. It is true that T20 cricket is not exactly a barometer to judge someone’s credentials for the longest format. But there was no doubt that a piece or two of the jigsaws were missing from his bowling. It seemed as if Washington was mostly bowling with a flatter trajectory. Around 5-6 months later, when he was rather surprisingly picked in India’s playing XI, against New Zealand, for the Pune Test, Washington turned out to be the trump-card, bagging a 10-wicket haul for the match. The transformation was quite incredible, and for a moment, one pondered whether the previous version was akin to a long-lost twin brother of the bowler who took a string of wickets versus New Zealand.  Just zoom your lens on Washington’s bowling in the just-concluded Test series, and it could be clearly seen that there was more energy in his run-up. The telling difference was the kind of overspin Washington imparted on the ball.  Just think of the jaw-dropping delivery to Rachin Ravindra in the second Test. The ball dipped and turned, and there was inward drift. Eventually, Ravindra was beaten on the outside edge, with the stumps getting rattled.  Washington’s exploits weren’t just restricted to the Pune Test as he added another five scalps in Mumbai to finish with a rich haul of 16 wickets for the series. Behind the scenes, Washington is said to have worked with S Sriram, who has had coaching stints with Bangladesh and Australia. With an impressive showing against New Zealand, Washington has also put his hat in the ring for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar-Trophy in Australia. The tall off-spinner is again expected to impart overspin and extract bounce from those surfaces in Australia.  In the first Test at Perth, he could also come into the equation in the second innings. With the sunshine beating down on the pitch, generally tracks in Perth tend to crack as the game progresses, which should assist Washington.  Lest we forget that Washington is competent with the bat in hand too. Who can forget the game-breaking stand with Shardul Thakur in the Gabba Test? With R Ashwin and R Jadeja in the mix, India also have a couple of experienced pros to choose from for the opening Test. But Washington might just be the best-suited candidate of the trio to take the number seven slot in the batting order.  Just spool back in time, and it can be observed that Washington has grabbed every single opportunity with both hands. In the 2017 IPL, he replaced an injured Ashwin at Rising Pune Supergiant on the back of castling Steve Smith in trials.  At the Gabba, in 2020-21, his contributions with both the bat and ball powered an injury-ravaged Indian side to one of their greatest-ever triumphs. A few years later, from nowhere, he established himself as one of the mainstays of India’s bowling line-up versus New Zealand. There is enough evidence to believe that the quiet and unassuming cricketer is all set to shine brightly in the forthcoming Test series in Australia.

The transformation was quite incredible, and for a moment, one pondered whether the previous version was akin to a long-lost twin brother of the bowler who took a string of wickets versus New Zealand.  Just zoom your lens on Washington’s bowling in the just-concluded Test series, and it could be clearly seen that there was more energy in his run-up. The telling difference was the kind of overspin Washington imparted on the ball.  Just think of the jaw-dropping delivery to Rachin Ravindra in the second Test. The ball dipped and turned, and there was inward drift. Eventually, Ravindra was beaten on the outside edge, with the stumps getting rattled.  Washington’s exploits weren’t just restricted to the Pune Test as he added another five scalps in Mumbai to finish with a rich haul of 16 wickets for the series. Behind the scenes, Washington is said to have worked with S Sriram, who has had coaching stints with Bangladesh and Australia. With an impressive showing against New Zealand, Washington has also put his hat in the ring for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar-Trophy in Australia. The tall off-spinner is again expected to impart overspin and extract bounce from those surfaces in Australia.  In the first Test at Perth, he could also come into the equation in the second innings. With the sunshine beating down on the pitch, generally tracks in Perth tend to crack as the game progresses, which should assist Washington.  Lest we forget that Washington is competent with the bat in hand too. Who can forget the game-breaking stand with Shardul Thakur in the Gabba Test? With R Ashwin and R Jadeja in the mix, India also have a couple of experienced pros to choose from for the opening Test. But Washington might just be the best-suited candidate of the trio to take the number seven slot in the batting order.  Just spool back in time, and it can be observed that Washington has grabbed every single opportunity with both hands. In the 2017 IPL, he replaced an injured Ashwin at Rising Pune Supergiant on the back of castling Steve Smith in trials.  At the Gabba, in 2020-21, his contributions with both the bat and ball powered an injury-ravaged Indian side to one of their greatest-ever triumphs. A few years later, from nowhere, he established himself as one of the mainstays of India’s bowling line-up versus New Zealand. There is enough evidence to believe that the quiet and unassuming cricketer is all set to shine brightly in the forthcoming Test series in Australia.
