zen Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Gollum said: I think naming after post-independence people is fine. Just that in most cases I know, it is done after that person has passed away. Uppal (Hyderabad) was named aftter Rajiv Gandhi during UPA-1. Ekana stadium in Lucknow was named after Atal Bihari Vajpayee after his demise. Even for sportspersons, Major Dhyan Chand stadium in Delhi was named after him a couple of decades after his demise, it was just called National Stadium before that. Here we have a sitting PM and the largest stadium in the country is named after him. This isn't medieval times, and doesn't happen in other democracies. I would rather prefer names being named after animals and birds, esp. the local ones, rather than post independence politicians. Even okay to honor scientists, mythical people, philosophers, authors, poets, teachers, sports people, etc. - Vivrkanand, Tagore, Kabir, Aryabhata, Valmiki, Dronacharaya, etc. Pre independence folks operate in grey areas, so ok. Once you enter politics - post independency, no politician’s name on monuments. Edited February 22 by zen Tillu 1
raki05 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Hope its one of match like the one in nagpur one against nz where we couldn’t chase 124 . Also other than sf where india scored 181 in sf everywhere we scored around 150-160 and won heck even in chunnuswamy we scored 141 and due to bangla brain fade won that match. Somehow during icc tournament pitches start behaving differently. Even during first match against USA nick night said its 300 pitch and cut 2 we were 4 down within pp.
vvvslaxman Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Even before the match warning was issued lol. It happened. Every game in super 8 is important. One more loss we are out.

Because that name is associated with this stadium, it is like a place of worship for them. Any criticism of that symbol makes them feel like their belief system is under attack. Hence come up with the most nonsensical retorts, unrelated, and the usual victim mentality, lies, personal attacks. Laaloo and Norman 1 1

I maye be superstitious, gawar, jahil etc. But rest of your post is factually wrong, on every count. Just lies/slander. Still you got it, I was talking to other poster,not the first time anyone is doing it here I haven't said anything wrong,how's it lie
Ultimate_Game Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 10 minutes ago, vvvslaxman said: Pollock literally said this "This pitch is very different from the pitches South africa played earlier in the tournament at Ahmedabad" . Saari ajeeb si pitches India match mein hi aati hain

Played right into hands of tall SA bowlers who used the long side boundaries. This is exactly what CUmmins (another set of tall bowlers) said after WC2023 win. They used the long boundaries effectively by bowling into the pitch slower ones on an eerily similar surface. Dead pan crowd, Blcak soild sluggish pitch Match made in heaven for opponents. They continue "silencing' the crowd. Ultimate_Game 1

vvvslaxman Posted February 22 Posted February 22 2011 Ahmedabad pitch was much better. India managed tricky chase very well in the Qf against Australia.

Criticism of this stadium is somehow taken as making fun of Gujjus? Like how does that even work? vvvslaxman, Gollum and Ultimate_Game 2 1

They continue "silencing' the crowd. How come when we bowled slowish shortish deliveries, those were hit out of the park by SA. And those 2 no-balls took the score from 160s to 180s. How come we're still bowling no-balls? We lost 2 tourneys (2016 WT20 and 2017 CT) already because of no-balls and we're still doing the same shyte and looks like we'll lose another one.

Leave the big team matches to other stadiums. Let them host all the minnow matches.
