Paid to watch sports.
- There's a lot wrong with cricket and ICC but their call to keep having these finals in England is a W. No other country is going to wake up early on a Saturday to watch two neutral teams for a session. Not Wankhede, not Melbourne, not Cape Town, not Galle not Auckland.
- You are 7/72. Pathirana cannot be your Impact Player. Yet, you are screaming your lungs out because a 43-year-old captain has walked in? This isn't even fandom at this point. It's borderline parody.
- Cummins is so un-Australian. Climate change activist, took time out to read up about racism in an Oz context, took on Langer, is a bowling captain, prioritised family over a series in India et. al. Yet, he's so genetically Australian. On-field king of clutch.
- A periodic reminder that this country wants to host the Olympics.
- Seeing so many takes that Vinesh has secured legacy etc. etc. I kind of think she secured her legacy the day she decided to ensure young girls were walking into a safe environment.
- Not using your wrist spinner against Dhoni should ideally invite a televised lecture from Goenka sir.
- Sorry but India have not shithousered this properly. They should have batted till close.
- IPL never ceases to amaze with their irony. One team does stuff for green awareness while the tournament takes money from the biggest fossil fuel company ever. Another team does cancer awareness. Between overs, there is an ad for pan. Got to appreciate the irony lads.
- Truly truly terrible that Vidit can't defend his title because the PM wants to meet the gold medallists.

He arrived in Baku but then had to
- A little Brazilian girl went viral on social media in 2015 after she landed a heel flip while wearing a fancy dress. Six years later, at 13, Rayssa Leal is the new Olympic silver medallist. Skateboarding is a great addiction.
- Seeing a few takes that govt sent her to Paris so nobody complain. In March, she won India's quota place in the women's 50kg in domestic trials. In April, she reached the final of the Asian Olympic qualifying meet. "Nobody sent her to Paris". She met the eligibility criteria.
- Forget, Chennai. I don't even remember an Indian city that has been this festive, being bathed in this much enthusiasm and expecting before a big sporting event. 100% football WC host city vibes.
