Labuschagne has been out of form this entire WTC season. Head got out to a nothing delivery bowled by a fatigued Jansen. Rabada bowled good balls to Khawaja & Green. Both wicket-taking balls. All eyes are on Smith now & how Carey & Webster operate under pressure. #wtc2025final

Yes, agricultural at times. Never aesthetic. Not pleasing on the eye. That said, Steve Smith has golden hands. He knows the art of surviving, navigating pace, swing, seam, spin & conditions. He amasses runs around the globe. A test cricketer all skippers want in their team.

A politician’s dreams and aspirations are fulfilled when the siren of his/her cavalcade causes noise pollution, disrupts normal traffic, and inflicts unimaginable pain, suffering and despair on the commoners. This way he/she gets his ego massaged. Phir bureaucrat sune ya na sune!

White Lightening (Allan Donald) claimed 330 wickets, laced with 20 five-fors, in only 72 Tests. He was a phenomenon. In his 71st Test match, Kagiso Rabada surpassed Great Allan Donald. Rabada has 332 wickets with 17 five-fors. Always wondered why Rabada isn’t praised enough

Fourteenth 5-fer in Test cricket for the one and only Pat Cummins ~ ~ ~ Wicket number 299 for Pat Cummins. He is still fit. Has played only 68 Tests. Easily, Cummins can get 450 scalps in 💯 Tests. #WTC2O25Final #AUSvsSA

The genocidal Israeli regime is an existential threat for Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Jordon, Yemen and elsewhere in the ME. Israel is a threat to humanity & world peace. Israel is a blot on humanity & world map. Tehran should be fully backed—morally & diplomatically!

Iran is a rich civilisation. Iran has a rich vein of literature. Beautiful prose. Poetry. Spirituality. Melodic music and language. The other side is an illegitimate power. A child and woman killing machine backed by the West.

A genocidal & illegitimate regime Isr*** is allowed to kill 50,000 people, mostly women & children, in Palestine; cause widespread destruction in Lebanon & Yemen; launch 🚀 strikes & execute assassinations in Iran. And perpetrating unprecedented violence against sovereign states!
