Stick to Cricket is outstanding. Purely cricket and plenty of hilarious anecdotes. Two Indians who have been in the show have acquitted themselves very well. Shastri, brilliant. No Siddhu, Bhogle and Sanju types to spoil the show. Real surprise is Cook

More than anything, India's refusal to exit BRICS (something that USA doesn't want to exist but cannot tell China or Russia to fold) seems to have triggered tariff hike. Trump went after Brazil & South Africa but didn't get much. He can't lift a finger in the direction of UAE.

That was some ranting by Leclerc #F1

Looks like France and Belarus will join BRICS. So, BRICS - 1 , Trump - 0 already? If Germany switches over, then it will be curtains for You Yes Yay
