I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not many users on Lemmy follow Cricket or understand it fully. My comment isn’t going to cover if the decision by the ICC is correct (or otherwise) but to provide a little insight into the men and women’s games

Speed / pace is a noticeable difference between the sexes. I don’t believe there are any current female players that consistently bowl pace over 120km/h. In contrast, male pace bowlers generally try to meet a consistent speed of 135km/h for the same role. The upper bounds for men is roughly 160km/h and maybe only one or two pro players globally can do this.

There are enough men’s bowlers who can bowl at 150km/h. At this speed an average batter would find it difficult to see the ball. Arguably batters in baseball receive faster pitches but at 150km/h+ including the ball bouncing makes it incredibly difficult to face.

The batting is also different but it might be harder to explain to a non-cricketing audience why this is.

iOS doesn’t give many options to remove ads from YouTube videos. You can’t really circumvent the native YT app (at least in my experience). What’s worked for me for the past few years is:

  • watching Youtube in Safari
  • purchasing the Wipr and Vinegar extensions from the App store

I have not seen a single ad on iOS on YouTube this way. I’m pretty sure Vinegar is doing the heavy lifting specifically on YouTube but Wipr picks up the slack on every other website.

the comment isn’t literal. it was an off handed way of saying that it is beneficial to try and improve oneself to get the most out of life.

i perhaps shouldn’t have qualified his profession because this was a conversation over beers, not his place of work.

it depends on what you consider self-improvement to be

one of my psychologist friends said a long time ago “if you don’t keep improving yourself, then what’s the point in living”.

you’re clearly already taking steps on self-improvement and personal introspection, which is probably one of the hardest things a human can do.

honestly you’re already kicking goals if you try and be a better person each day. No one can ask more of you.
