Vendetta

In this corporate world, a manager should not treat his/her employees like slaves. The manager has no idea how lethal & cruel a particular employee would be.

When the boss makes it personal, then either Vivacious either will ignore or make such a staggering comeback that the manager would be buried alive, not physically but mentally because the manager shouldn’t have crossed the limits.

Vivacious is not a human being, he is a Zeitgeist and can rattle any human being on the planet. Nevertheless, Vivacious now has established a name in the industry and is unstoppable.

Songs and their optimum utilisation

When we are listening songs which could be of love and inspiration; no doubt this type of songs are fictional and at the same time releasing our pressure and tension and giving a feeling of ignition in our life;

It would be a tremendous amount of attainment if we can listen these songs for example when we are listening a romantic song then in the place of that person we should think of our dream which could be a job, academics or any desired one but not that person because every time we listen the romantic songs we think of that person for an indefinite time which has got no significant outcome in an immediate manner and we completely become obsessed with that person even when there is no two way communication;

No doubt we should fall in love with the person we love but listening to romantic songs endlessly and imagining that person in every song and act is indeed inviting a havoc in your life.

Doctors and their techniques

When we get severely injured and have illness due to weakness then a doctor plays a humongous role as the doctor moulds us and makes us a resurgent individual; the amount of work which doctor does on us is unbelievable and unthinkable;

But it doesn’t mean that we should worship a doctor like god and goddess , because no matter how good a doctor is the main intention of the doctor is to make the individual come to the clinic and hospital ‘n’ times only for the sake of earning money in the name of treatment and this is a hidden fact which almost all doctors do in the name of their profession ;

There is no doubt that it’s very easy to criticize the process of doctor but the excruciating fact is that now the doctors think and somewhat believe that the patient is helpless as a result the doctors have innumerable power.

Power of a Student

When an individual becomes a student then that individual should remember forever that the tag of student is not for 4-6 years that tag is for lifetime;

Because knowledge which a student can get by living the life of a student is priceless and to have such attitude and gesture will definitely give more knowledge and that individual would somewhat become a wise individual;

The freedom which a student gets is unbelievable and unthinkable because the life and lifestyle of student is always sumptuous and luxurious; by being a student we are open to learn new things and grasp new concepts which an individual doesn’t show eagerness towards new things

Joe Root hammers West Indies bowlers and scores his 25th Test Hundred

Joe Root has achieved another feat by scoring 25 Test Hundreds in 115 Test Matches. Root has had a dream run in Test Cricket since 2021 where he scored centuries against subcontinental teams like Sri Lanka and I ndia. He literally loves toying with the bowlers as his attacking instincts are a treat to watch for the bowler too. He has been a prolific batter for quite some time now as he knows that the team is vulnerable to collapses. He has been doing his best by scoring tons of runs but in doing so he isn’t doing shrewd Captaincy which is badly needed as England are at the bottom of World Test Championship.

Root had come into bat when the team was on the verge of another collapse as the score was 80-2. The pitch was a minefield as the bowlers were having an amazing time where the odd ball was also keeping low which made the contest more enthralling. His most of the runs came towards by playing a flick shot and towards covers region. He was quite clever in his approach as he made the most of bad balls as he made the likes of Roach and Holder grind a lot.

Daniel Lawrence was the other batter present at the non-strike. He proved to be a keen observer and quick learner as he too got a great start. He made the most of out and now it looks he has sealed his place in the team as a proper middle orde batter. In the ultimate over of the Day 1 he got a bit greedy by playing a cover shot that too when he already had scored 8 runs off 4 deliveries; the trap was a brilliant as Holder had bowled enticing deliveries and then just bowled a back of length delivery and Lawrence was caught in Covers region; Lawrence would rue a lot for his shot selection, his score at that time was 91 runs, he was on the verge of a well deserved Century, Holder showed that his experience can change the momentum of the match.

England’s score is 244-3 runs with Root not out on 119 balls. England’s batters bat very deep and we can sense a 1st innings total in excess of 450 runs. Stokes and Bairstow are great at changing gears which will make life difficult for West Indies batters in the 1st innings. The new ball for West Indies has given them a huge scalp in the form of Lawrence, if they can take a leaf out of 1st Test Match where England were 268-6, they were looking set for a total around 400; but the Caribbean bowlers bundled out England for 312 Runs.

West Indies have the power to create a havoc as the 1st over holds the key here. If England manages to get away with it then we are in for a high scoring match; for West Indies they need to play witty cricket here as England’s batters would be in an attacking mindset as Root had made his intentions very much clear. Holder needs to lead the attack while the duo of Alzarri Joseph and Kemar Roach should be used; Joseph because he has raw pace which can perturb the batter whereas Roach is impeccable with his line and length. All in all, we are in for a spectacular 1st session where either we will witness a collapse or gritty defence as Stokes is sturdy in defense.

SNAPSHOT: At the end of Day 1’s Play Joe Root waiving his bat to the Crowd after smashing his 25th Test Hundred.

Bonner and Permaul Deepen the Agony for England as the Lead goes past 50

Bonner continued his grit game and made sure that England bowlers throw the towel down. He along with Permaul drained England’s bowlers. The likes of Stokes who earlier in the day has changed the course too had an off color day. Permaul took small strides and scored runs and used feet against Leach.

Joe Root once again was seen helpless as of now his captaincy is by no means great. Mark Wood once again was not given the ball in hand, there may be a possibility that he is injured or going some work on his shoulder, he has had problem with this, earlier during India Test Series in England 2021; he was sidelined due to a Jarred Shoulder. Chris Woakes used all the tricks in the book but West Indies batters were ready for it. With only few overs left for the 2nd new ball, England needs to quickly take it and make sure that West Indies aren’t touching the landmark of 100 runs lead.

West Indies batsman Nkrumah Bonner has silenced all the critics by facing more than 350 odd balls. Sticking to the Crease at this pitch was an arduous task, the tail-enders have faced more than 150 balls which speaks volumes of hard work which bowlers are putting in with the bat too. Bonner’s one stand out feature has been that he hasn’t lost his concentration by any means, he gave one opportunity when he was dropped in slip by Zak Crawley on the bowling of Jack Leach; other than that he has been solid as a Rock. Bonner would be thrilled to know that his knock would open West Indies account in the Richards-Botham Trophy 2022.

Day 4 would be a Fascinating Contest where Caribbean Fast Bowlers would be Roaring to Knock off England’s Out of form batters. The debutant Alex Lees would be tested as earlier he was undone by the sheer brilliance by Kemar Roach. Skipper Joe Root who now has gone back to No.3 position would be wary of the fact that he needs to be more than ever chary as there are high chances that he may come into bat on the very 2nd ball. The Invincible Stokes will have to use all his experience to give England a chance in the 1st Test Match. West Indies on the other hand would sense that they have this Test Match under their control, only they can lose from here onwards which can happen due to their unpredictable nar
ture, which is far away but this possibilities can’t be ignored. England and West Indies have had this unpredictable tag, so who knows what lies ahead on the 4th Day. All in all, just like 3rd Day the Cricket World would witness an intriguing day of Test Match where the Momentum is with West Indies.
