I'm hungry so this won't be the most eloquent explanation, but basically I think it's more likely for Trump to win than Kamala. Normally that's "who gives a shit" territory for me, because a pro-war and (by nowhere but America's standards) "anti-war" president both have to deal with their country's geopolitical reality/tragectory and (more importantly) what their oligarchy wants.

But this one is meaningful mostly because of what Trump represents on the world-stage -- which is a shift to East Asia away from Europe (whereas Kamala represents the current policy). "Away" is the keyword here. Before, the US could, in the analogy of a boxing match, just change who they're swinging at with their right vs their left. They can't anymore, they can try to dodge the guy who'd get their left normally, but they have to focus on one of them at a time.

I don't think the US elite wanted to admit that, a lot of them still don't. They have a lot invested in neocolonialism in the former Warsaw Pact/Yugoslavia, but as the mode of control has increasingly become the EU (vs directly), that vassalage-autonomy has come at the price of being more expendable in extreme cases such as we live in now.

Chinese disruption to US financial hegemony is more troubling to them than the EU taking L's and it fucking up their investments in the larger region, by a lot. Their elite want to (keep) own(ing) Ukraine, for example, but they need the world to run on dollars. Right now, China is the primary country enabling dedollarization, which means China is now the majority-accepted primary threat according to the American elite.

So what I predict happening is the EU will be left to deal with Europe on their own, and the EU establishment won't have nearly as much American support to keep them in power. NATO will still be there, and the US will still try to exert influence, but mostly within the "secured" areas and ones that are more directly chained to Washington than chained through Brussels. It's clear that the EU as a junior partner is seen as a mistake to the US, as well, so in a way everything since the end of 2021 can be spun advantageously for US geopolitics.

Meanwhile, the US' focus is going to be on China, with increasing diplomatic pressure on India & trying to further inflame their situation with Pakistan. Australia, Japan, Thailand, and New Zealand will become less autonomous within the American sphere, or at least that'll be the goal, while the main geopolitical battlegrounds will be around Taiwan*, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Korean peninsula, and Burma. Maybe Bangladesh also. I think the inevitable loss to Russia in Ukraine will solidify Mongolia in the Russian/Chinese sphere of influence though.

The Middle East situation won't fundamentally change, or at least its tragectory will continue in the way it has been since the failed attempt to destroy Syria.

Anyway, they know all this and that's why media coverage around Trump has become more in the tone of him winning next, even if it is in a "oh God oh fuck" tone. All of its about marketing, manufacturing consent, and reducing shock.

Ok I'mma vent this out at once and will try to not utter a word about this cursed night again. India deserved this cup, they really did. Because if there's been a team who performed the best and embodied the spirit and passion of cricket it's been India. They did their best from the very first game against Australia... Jaddu's wickets (especially Smith's), the top order collapse and King and Rahul's partnership winning us the game (also Rahul's 97). Then came Afghanistan and Bangladesh - Rohit's century, Virat in delhi (vs Naveen, their hug), Hardik's injury resulting in our dear Cheeku's bowling, KL refusing runs to complete Virat's century, Ro - Vi - Rah hug 🤌and ofc umpire not giving the wide. The Pakistan rivalry came into the tournament but our streak was saved when we defeated them 8 - 0. Then came the most dreaded match against New Zealand - Vi's missed century was definitely a sore spot but the revenge was completed. Shami being shami showing why you should not bench him with his fifer and Jaddu hitting the final runs to avenge Mahi Bhai. England and Sri Lanka were no match - they were destroyed by our balling - the only good thing was Gill's knock, Shreyas' century and ofc RohiRat hugs ✨. We made a Sri Lanka out of South Africa with the King getting a century on his b'day and destroyed Netherlands but the main part was Virat and Rohit taking wickets. Then came the semis against NZ and honestly the whole desiblr was scared as fuck bcz of our history but Revenge was taken... Kohli shattering all records and hitting his 50th century making us prouder than ever (anushka's kisses and bowing to the God Sachin will forever be remembered) and Shami's 7 wickets, like is there a way to stop Lalaji bcz I can't think of one (amd what's this 7 factor? 397 runs, all out at 327, won by 70 runs, shami taking 7 wickets ? tribute to Thala ig). But it all came down to this, we lost the finals... After all this we lost, 1.5 billion hearts are broken, the 12 year wait continues. But this tournament will never be forgotten, we laughed and we cried with our team and supported them at every step. We saw moments we'll never forget, we made memories seeing records being broken and our boys having the time of their lives, hugging and dancing on the field and being more excited for the mighty fielding medal than the actual match itself. So this tournament will forever be remembered. You'd expect me to say congratulations to Australia but no, they played well ofc but no team played cricket better than India... Just bcz this team didn't performed in one single match didn't mean that they didn't deserve to win this. Kohli gave all of his soul, Rohit made this team what it is and Shami gutted all his haters but sadly luck was not on our side. After winning all 10 matches our unbeaten streak got broken in the finals only. Yes I'm heartbroken to core but at the same time I'm bloody proud of our boys who gave everything they had, your heads should be held high. In my own delusional world India won this cup and not just team India but the whole country. In my mind we are the winners and the team got the prize for their blood, sweat and tears. You'll all be remembered forever as champions.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub Included in Pakistan Squad for CT Picked by Kamran Akmal

Champions Trophy 2025: Former cricketer Kamran Akmal has named his Pakistan squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. In a big surprise, Akmal named both the left-handed openers Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub in his squad.

Saim Ayub suffered an injury during Pakistan's Test series in South Africa and has been out of any professional cricket since that moment. The PCB decided to send Ayub to London for proper treatment, however, his chances of making it to the Champions Trophy are quite slim.

Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman has been out of the team for a long time now. He was dropped after speaking against the board and was subsequently dropped from Pakistan's squad for the ODI series in Australia.

Kamran Akmal includes Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub for the Champions Trophy

Kamran Akmal took to social media and picked his Pakistan squad of 15 players for the upcoming Champions Trophy. It is a strong squad but it depends on the fitness of a few players.

The squad doesn't have many surprises with the wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan picked as the captain of the side. Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, and Imam-ul-Haq are the three openers in the team. While Fakhar and Imam are fit, Ayub's fitness is a huge concern for the Men in Green.

The middle order looks solid with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan likely to slot in at No. 3 and No. 4 respectively. Kamran Ghulam, who scored a magnificent hundred on his Test debut, has also found a place in the team, and so has the big-hitter Irfan Khan Niazi.

Salman Ali Agha, who is currently the vice-captain of the team, provides them with the required balance with his quality off-spin bowling. Salman has been one of the best performers for Pakistan across formats for the last few months.

Strong Bowling Attack

The bowling line-up looks strong with Shaheen Afridi leading the pack. Shaheen, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf are the three frontline fast bowlers in the squad with Mohammad Hasnain and bowling allrounder Aamer Jamal being the reserve fast bowlers.

Left-arm chinaman bowler Sufiyan Muqeem and leg spinner Abrar Ahmed have been included as the two specialist spinners in the squad. The balance of the squad looks great but it all depends on Saim Ayub's fitness now.

Pakistan will begin its Champions Trophy campaign on February 19 against New Zealand in Karachi. The Men in Green will then travel to Dubai to face arch-rivals India in a highly anticipated clash. India and Pakistan are in Group A alongside Bangladesh and New Zealand.

Kamran Akmal's Pakistan squad for Champions Trophy 2025

Mohammad Rizwan (C) (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha, Kamran Ghulam, Irfan Khan Niazi, Aamer Jamal, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Muqeem, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hasnain.

CAB Urges BCCI for Rescheduling Pakistan-England Match Amidst Unforeseen Circumstances

They have recommended November 11, rather than November 12 which is additionally the date of the Hindu celebration of Kali Puja

The Cricket Relationship of Bengal (Taxi) has mentioned the BCCI to move the Britain versus Pakistan ODI World Cup game, booked to be played at Kolkata's Eden Nurseries on November 12, to another date, proposing November 11 as another option. The improvement came after the city police informed Taxi that they are expecting upgraded security for the game as Pakistan are one of the groups. November 12 is additionally the date for Kalipujo, one of the city's, and the locale's, most significant Hindu celebrations.

ESPNcricinfo comprehends that Taxi authorities had a gathering with city police experts on Thursday, and were educated about the rule of peace and law worries upon the arrival of the celebration. Following that, the affiliation kept in touch with Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, mentioning the date change.

This comes close behind the Ahmedabad police communicating its failure to give security to the India versus Pakistan game on October 15, since it conflicted with the primary day of the nine-day Hindu celebration of Navaratri, perhaps of the main celebration in Gujarat, of which Ahmedabad is a section, and numerous different pieces of northern India. The game - still in Ahmedabad - has since been moved to October 14, however the ICC or the BCCI is yet to offer an authority expression with that impact.

Shah, in the interim, has said that the date change - for that and a couple other matches - became essential since a few partaking sheets had kept in touch with the BCCI communicating their interests about the movement required between matches.

Kolkata police's position isn't ideal dealing with a significant strict occasion and a significant cricket match around the same time.

The Taxi's position is an unenviable one. In 2011, when the ODI World Cup was last had in this impact of the world, Kolkata, and the city's famous Eden Nurseries arena, was considered ill suited to have the India versus Britain game. The scene facilitated three games, which didn't include India, in 2011.

Taxi, and cricket fans in Kolkata, would have zero desire to be in a circumstance where the high end Britain versus Pakistan game is moved to another city, and it is perceived the affiliation authorities have likewise connected with Mamata Banerjee, the main priest of the province of West Bengal, to attempt to mediate.

The first timetable of the World Cup had Eden Nurseries set apart to have five games: Bangladesh versus Netherlands on October 28, Bangladesh versus Pakistan on October 31, India versus South Africa on November 5, the Britain versus Pakistan on November 12, and the second semi-last on November 16.

The timetable of the World Cup was delivered after a long defer on June 27, only 100 days before the booked beginning of the competition on October 5 in Ahmedabad, though the timetables for the last two versions of the competition, in Australia and New Zealand (2015) and Britain and Ribs (2019) were out over a year ahead of time.

[ad_1] Agnijit Sen with Rohit Sharma in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Rohit in action in the second ODI vs England (PC: Debasis Sen and BCCI/X) “He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn’t normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place.” – said Morgan Freeman’s booming voice in the film ‘The Shawshank Redemption.’ Just replace the word ‘Andy’ with ‘Rohit Sharma’ in the paragraph mentioned above. For a long time now, I have felt a strange connection with the Indian captain. I don’t know what. I can’t summarise it in words. Virat Kohli was the ideal first bencher. Well dressed, topper, disciplined, class monitor, role model – everything rolled in one. Rohit was always the relaxed back-bencher, laidback, lazy and most of the times, zoned out. He forgot things, wore a ‘don’t care’ look on his face and was always loved by one and all. There was something else to Rohit as well. He knew his favourite subject all too well. Everytime he would step in the exam hall, he would switch himself on. The laidback, lazy back bencher took a back seat. Out came the fluent, flawless, immensely talented student. Each time the teachers looked at his answer sheets, they were amazed. ‘How does this boy sit on the last bench & camouflage himself’ they would ask. Rohit however continued to be the same with his smile turning into a grin. Rohit Sharma in ICC tournaments has been an absolute beast. 2019, 2023, 2024 – you name one World Cup after the other and there came ‘Hitman’ at the top. He would decimate the best bowling attacks for fun, piling up runs and giving India strong starts. Captaincy only made him more responsible and he went about his business with calmness, precision and determination. ‘Mujhe sirf World Cup dikhta hai bhai’ – he said before the start of the 2023 World Cup on home soil. We all thought the Men In Blue would bring it home. And there came the ill-fated 19th November. Rohit went back to the dressing room after the match, wiping his tears and battling hard to stay unfazed. Who knew back then ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ was just six months away? For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Rohit Sharma during the second ODI vs England (PC: BCCI/X) Rohit made one phone call after the 2023 World Cup. Head coach Rahul Dravid decided to stay back for six more months on Rohit’s request. For every 19th November, there came a 29th June. The emotions overflowed. Rohit punched the ground, danced, hugged Kohli and made that iconic celebratory walk to collect the T20 World Cup. Nobody (including Rohit) knew at that time that the year had just begun and the next redemption would take more than just a while. Rohit came back for the Sri Lanka ODI series, lost on Lankan soil, performed poorly against Bangladesh and New Zealand. India slumped to a humiliating whitewash against the Kiwis on home soil. Suddenly, the World Cup heroics seemed like ages ago and everyone started questioning him. Rohit’s captaincy was at stake and he needed his form back. Rohit stayed back for the birth of his kid and could not join the Indian team for the first test against Australia at Perth. Led inspirationally by Jasprit Bumrah, India pulled off a sensational win. KL Rahul batted so well at the top that Rohit came to bat at no 6 in the next Test. Rohit played 5 innings in the Border Gavaskar Trophy and averaged only 6.20 before dropping himself for the final Test in Sydney. Much speculations were made, there were multiple dressing room leaks but one thing remained constant. The back-bencher’s belief. He kept on saying he had cricket left in him and became an easy target on expert panels and social media. Andy Dufresne didn’t lose hope though. He kept reminding himself – ‘Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.’ India announced the Champions Trophy squad after the completion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Rohit was named captain again. The Australia series review meeting went on expected lines with Rohit being asked to share his future plans post the Champions Trophy. The ODI series against England began which was of course the dress-rehearsal for the Champions Trophy. Rohit failed in the first match. Another failure and hell would break loose. Rohit Sharma in the second ODI (PC: BCCI/X) Then came 09th February, 2025, a date Rohit is going to remember a long, long time. The venue helped him too. Before this match, he had scored 143 runs at an average of 71.50 with two fifties. Chasing 304 against a strong English pace attack, Rohit looked nervous and jittery at the start. Andy had started preparing for the jailbreak. He knew it would take time. He stayed put. The bat turned in his hand when he played his first scoring shot. Rohit clinched his teeth and continued to fight a tremendous mental battle. Getting to 50 saw a muted celebration as Andy started crawling for freedom. The decisive moment came when he was batting on 88. Mark Wood pitched one up but this was vintage Rohit, the lazy, laid back bencher. Launched over wide long-on, front leg out of the way, hands through the ball, Rohit romped to 94. Century no 32 followed with Rohit stepping out and clobbering Adil Rashid for a huge hit over long off. Rohit now has the third highest no of ODI centuries against his name as an Indian, only behind the G.O.A.T.s, Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. ‘Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can’t even imagine, or maybe I just don’t want to. Five hundred yards… that’s the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.’ Redemption 2.0 was achieved after a lot of blood and sweat.  Rohit is not done yet. The world better watch out and remember a simple thing he said to Jatin Sapru – ‘Main kidhar jaa nahi raha bhai.’ TRAILBLAZERS 3.0 Also Read: Bumrah question aside, India and Rohit Sharma look Champions Trophy-ready The post Rohit Sharma – ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

Today we are going to tell you about those 6 batsmen who smashed the fastest century in this marquee ICC Tournament. 

6. Suresh Raina (59 balls hundred VS South Africa in 2010)

India’s Former Left-Hand batsman Suresh Raina is the only Indian batsman who has a century in ICC T20I World Cups. He scored 101 runs against South Africa in just 60 balls. He completed his hundred in 59 balls including 9 fours & 5 sixes. Due to Raina's innings, India batted first and scored 186/5, in response to which the African team was all out for just 172 runs. India won this match by 14 runs.
