Tend to agree with Supratik in that the issue might be something other than ‘form’ for all competitors to go off kilter at the same time, in a sport that is individual in nature. It is puzzling. Maybe the pressure got to them or something to do with Covid restrictions etc.

Here in BLR, it seems like the main thrust of vaccination among private hospitals seems to be coming from Apollo chain. Each time I log-in to Co-Win, in my pin code, I see only 2 or 3 Apollo hospitals with all slots booked. If I click above 45, I am seeing 1-2 BBMP hospitals/PHCs...from what I hear...

R factor is not an immutable property of a virus. It is operationally defined. The biggest variable in a pandemic is human behaviour not viral behaviour. High virulence cannot be easily modified, infectivity can. some viruses are more infectious than others. This aspect needs to be confirmed and co...

It seems pretty clear that the Aussies were good because they changed the paradigm of the game from sheer skill/talent and added bullying, sledging, intimidation into the mix.

I think it goes without saying that China will (and has) attack (ed) India before India gets to a point where it can credibly be seen as stronger than China. Why would China wait?
