The "Scorecard says it's even, but my team can't win" thread: Gambhiring

Burgey said:
Not sure who called him "His Roundness" but it's perfect - takes in the physical attribute which makes him so lovable to the average man, yet still sets him apart by bestowing a Royal moniker. It's nicknaming splendour, five stars. And a lot better than calling him TPC or another nickname which someone else already has.

I totally agree with Burgey re: TPC, not least because Herath should have a better nickname, but AB is a completely different situation, I had never heard of Border being called AB by anyone except Burgey, but De Villiers was probably called that by his parents back when Border was still on the telly. One of these is poor form nickname stealing, the other is just natural selection.

But AB isn't a nickname, it's just his name. I've never seen anyone call him Abraham or whatever.

I'm sure this has already been covered to death.

Man, I can't shake off the feel that the word Gambhiring makes exponentially more sense now than in 2011....

The Australia v India series next summer might break the record for the most Gambhiring in one thread.

It's totally ****ing dire and the sheer volume of it does my head in. I mean are the Indian supporters taught this at school or what?

It's not even an hour into the second test, India are 39/0, England have Joe Root opening the bowling on what looks like a road and every Indian poster in the tour thread is saying this test is gone and they're done.........seriously **** off!!

But its all true. This is the worst selection by an Indian test side since 2018 tour of South Africa. There is no way this England side should lose to this lot. This is worse than our Q side we put out at The Gabba.
