  1. Would write a more detailed post soon but what an amazing performance by team India. Though, we have had bigger medal and Gold tallies in CWG before, this one is more spread across disciplines and without Shooting.
  2. I wasn't talking about the male commentator but the female one. Male commentator is also good but Gill is A LEGEND. P.S. Its possible that we are hearing different set of commentators.
  3. Gill Clark, is among the best commentators, across all sports that I watch. Good game by Li but Sindhu's big match temperament was the difference in the end. Now onto Lakshya Sen and Sat-Chi.
  4. You are missing one end. has 15-10 lead going in the final end. Historic Gold medal loading....
  5. BTW don't see Cricket making it to games. Negligible following in key areas, not much interest from Cricket federations, expensive infrastructure (That is why Cricket has better chance in 2032), no depth and need for 15x8x2 = 240 athletes at the minimum. The positives: Huge and concentrated following in some areas (Indian subcontinent, Caribbean), Quite different to other team sports.
  6. Croquet with a Q is played by Queen of Hearts. Cricket with an I is the most popular game in India.
  7. My prediction: Singapore will win Singles. Lauren Smith will win her doubles. MD will decide the tie.
  8. The reason that dead rubbers are played in group stage is that they may provide the necessary tiebreak. Also, it gives the lesser teams more matches to play and give the reserves of the top teams to get some game time as well.
  9. This is a screen grab from the official stream in India
  10. IIRC 100m Gold winning time has been over 10s in last couple of CWG.
  11. Neeraj Chopra has withdrawn from the CWG due to fitness issues.
  12. Is Apeksha capable of matching Sajan/Srihari in fighting for Olympic qualification. Not enough data. But, our NRs are so bad that if a decent athlete comes, they can rewrite our NR multiple times and shave off a lot of time. For example, look at how much time Lalita Babar and Avinash Sable have lost in 3000m SC.
  13. That awkward moment when Ahmedabad is cooler than half of Europe.
  14. Neeraj Chopra wins Silver. India’s second ever WC medal.
  15. Really nice World Championships for India. Multiple players progressing beyond group stage. Bhavani Devi narrowly losing in R32. Small steps but atleast steps in right direction.
  16. The way I see it is we are essentially in the third tier. We had a big tournament in Tokyo, where we overachieved and got to 4th place. This should be an eye opener for all of us that there is still a long way before we can be considered a medal hopeful at world stage. We are good defensively and have improved our fitness levels but need to work a lot on open play goals and PC conversion rate.
  17. Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has fled his official residence, as protestors stormed his official residence. Sri Lanka has already declared bankruptcy and there are widespread protests across the island nation.
  18. Shinzo Abe is among the few political leaders I really admire, and possibly the only non-Indian one. Sayonara Abesan. Arigato for being a true friend of India. Om Shanti.
  19. Surprising that Tejaswin Shankar and Jeswin Aldrin were dropped.
  20. 1) I propose either @Prashanthor @Fly_like_a_donas the owner of the club. 2) For Club Name: I like Khelo India, Blue Tigers, The Peacock Club, Bharat Army, The Blue Army
  21. Meanwhile situation in Sri Lanka continues to deteriorate. Here is PM of SL telling how grave the situation is
  22. Aah, fans being salty after a tough loss is a problem across sports and countries. I am sure a lot of Indians would have been abusing Indonesians if we lost. No need to give the trolls importance.
  23. I saw a prominent Indonesian badminton handle tweet a similar thing. What is the issue?
