“But…” The BBC is trying to justify an Israeli massacre of civilians in a cafe. This is propaganda, not journalism.

Some very harsh readings on Prasidh today, his first spell today was erratic but don’t think we can read too much into the economy he was fully commited to the captain asking him to bowl to the fields and short, can be very hard to get right but easily could have had some pop up.

For all the midfields and drop catches, Tammy Beaumont has been sensational today as captain. England stay alive.

Some serious pace there 🔥 Career bests for Filer.

It’s like “I am helping you and how could you hurt my sentiments?” No, it doesn’t work like that. No one’s helping no one here. If you’re anti-caste, it’s not about you uplifting the oppressed, it’s about you actively fighting the system that sustains your privilege. (4/n)

In order for us to become “One” we must acknowledge that we all are different in terms of our experiences, our positions within the caste structure. But our fighting cause is shared, it’s about defeating casteism. (6/n)

When you expect Dalits to accept your allyship unconditionally and walk alongside you in your version of the fight, you inevitably create a narrative of “Good” & “Bad” Dalits and that’s not allyship, that’s mere entitlement. (7/n)

While the ground reality is Dalit communities are not a homogeneous group and not everyone has had the same access to healing or safety. If some Dalits aren’t trusting your sincerity, it’s not their fault – it's the system's failure. (8/n)

So instead of attacking them, try to understand where their mistrust stems from. Building trust is an ally’s responsibility. (9/n)

So, it’s better for allies to begin with self-interrogation and working within your own communities to dismantle casteism rather than judging Dalits for their resentments and opinions to classify them as “Good” or “Bad” based on how well they respond to your support. (12/12)

🚨 Teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi hits a sublime 52-ball hundred at Visit Worcestershire New Road and ends out on 143 from 73 deliveries, with 23 boundaries 🤯🇮🇳 BCCI

World record run chase required....

500 runs in the series already for Shubman Gill - an incredible start to his career as captain. Don Bradman's all-time record for most runs in a series - 974 runs - is not completely impossible with 3 Tests to come

Funniest call ever to bat Nitish over Jadeja in the first innings and Jadeja over Nitish in the second innings.

How have Akash Deep and Siraj been more effective than England's bowlers? Their inherent 'skiddiness', the ability to hit the stumps from a wider range of lengths. They do this brilliantly at 🏠.Touched upon it in this piece #ENGvIND cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…
