I am not sure how much of the charm, what we have on the hand, actually lacks and how much of the contrast with what is gone is created by memory. School nostalgia is a very fitting example of this; nostalgia for homemade food perhaps also fits in the same category.

Our memory recollection pattern is truly amazing. Some music, which is temporally separated by a particular event by years, triggers memory of that event with such precision, unachievable by anything else. as if they have occupied mental compartments interwoven into each other.

Recency bias in effect, Cummins is better.
Performance in India+Pakistan:
Rabada: 18 wkts @ 43/88
Cummins: 23 wkts @ 27/57
and,
Rabada gets much more bowling-friendly wickets, as we saw in the Steyn comparison with overall bowling strike rate of 50; for Cummins, it's 55.
Slow argument.
Why people see everything in binary?
'Either affects or not.'
If you are denying movies with extreme violence don't effect brains.
You are either intentionally ignoring or you are genuinely slow in head.

As uncomfortable as his tweet sounds, he's right.
His action was horrible and appropriate councelling and monitoring has to be done.
But argument such as "if he's old enough to attack, he can be published" is extremely lazy and dumb.
Are these people even listening to themselves?
It's very comfortable for humans to digest but at times their are no clear villians yet outcome can be seriously damaging.
Read the quotes and replies makes me think do these people even have basic thinking faculty or they just copy paste popular takes.

I think Steyn is clear and it's not even debatable.
Bowling strike rate of rest of the bowlers in matches involving
Rabada(40) it's 50
Steyn(42) it's 60
That's serious difference
Rabada outperformed rest by 20 %, Steyn by 30 %
Performance in subcontinent is final nail in coffin
Movies undoubtebly affect mind of audience to unimaginable extent and quality of the content is very much controllable.
Action should be taken against production of these movies before it's too late (which perhaps already is), merely adding 18+ tags isn't enough.
Vanga’s Animal has a scene where Ranbir Kapoor walks into a classroom with an AK47. This is what such movies lead to. When will directors like Sandeep Reddy Vanga and actors like Ranbir Kapoor be held responsible for poisoning young minds?

What a weird Career Jomel Warrican has, infact most of the non Asian spinner, Tod Murphy, Matthew Khuleman, Ajaz Patel etc.
Play a couple of tests in a year, picks 7-8 important wickets and dissapears for rest of the year.
End the career with some 30 matches, 120 wickets @ 28

Tilak Verma will either give you 70(35) or 35(35)
Rarely inbetween
But his 35(35) knocks, like today, are mostly played when match is already gone.
Memorization had negative reputation because you could write things down but you couldn't think things down
One would say, why should I memorize when I can write it on notebook and use later.
But now AI can think things down too
Unless you are original creator, it's all the same
Memorization has an unfairly negative reputation. I recently spent a few hours memorizing the names of all the countries in the world and it's such a clear improvement in how well I can understand and reason about other topics. Memorization is scaffolding for more complex ideas
