Dude aren't you South Indian? Your hindi is fab. 

Yes, have interest in languages Hindi/Urdu  watching movies generally.  Most South Indians know Hindi , some very well , contrary to stereotypes

If both India and SA win their SF matches, it will be a final of one choker vs another. Loser should be crowned as the king of chokers!

Not in TN & Kerala.  (Not at all)

This could very well be the equivalent of Ahmedabad 2023 final.  Guyana is the one pitch in the Caribbean where it might be better to chase but it's hard to say.  

 

Funny how we keep failing on chasing pitches - Dubai, Adelaide under lights, Modi stadium etc.  If we bat first, we will be batting trying to figure out par and how much we need above par etc.

 

If we bat first, gotta target 165 at a bare minimum I'd say.

Rain has cleared for now.  And for tomorrow, the chance of rain has drastically reduced.  This match is most likely ON.     https://youtu.be/qJqpan5NC_0?si=ZKDOSy1IiHKfjamj

If you guys don’t already own one, you should get hold of the Saregama Caravan. 
 

I assume it’s available in the USA.

I think it is available. I looked around for one a few years ago but never ordered it. Should look again.

 

TBH, though, I don't listen to music regularly any more. If I do, it is in the car with some mixed CDs (yes, I still have CDs in my 2007 Toyota van) with 90s/2000s songs.  Or, if I am in the mood, some Nusrat on YouTube.

Just don't get the  concept of a par score. So, you look at a pitch, ground, weather, boundary distance etc etc and say ... "if I make more than this score, I am likely to win" . Is that it?

Bat first will be ideal. West Indies almost lost to PNG while chasing here.

These losers are going to go with the same team tomorrow and crash out.

Without any match practice, they will not get anybody new on that pretext. Bc, why didn’t you give Jaiswal any match practice?

Sure

[maggot_brain]

I won't even be bothered if they're eliminated.  T20 is a bit of silliness and fun, not proper cricket.  I'd be much more annoyed if it was the ODI WC or WTC final. I've already got what I wanted with Australia going out and the charmer Warner's career ending.
