Tropes re bowlers tired, rested, workload mgmt etc. In Ahmedabad against Windies, KapilDev bowled 30 overs in 2 spells (20+10) broken by end of day’s play to take 9-83. Either Kapil was superhuman or today’s bowlers with 5/6/7 over spells are wussy. Which? @bhogleharsha #INDvAUS

To invoke #cricket metaphor, #ImranKhan is clean bowled but refuses to leave crease. Umpire (Speaker) decides as an afterthought that it is a #noball. Replays dont show it. Imran refuses to leave. Takes fresh guard!

'Harris was able to thrive in the male-dominated corridors of power because ambition was “not a taboo word in her vocabulary”.' Read a review of @chidu77's definitive biography of #KamalaHarris, titled after #MayaAngelou's poem #PhenomenalWoman, https://t.co/tpVcIvINTL

In politics, where women and men are often judged by different standards, Kamala Harris has tried to champion women’s leadership across party lines.

Brilliant. To paraphrase Joni Mitchell, I've looked at this from Both Sides Now....
I like living dangerously at the intersection of Americans shouting India is unreliable and Indians shouting America is unreliable.
