CHINAMAN

                                  This is not my own post. just shared from wikipedia.  Chinaman does not have to deal anything with a chinese guy. this is just about a term used in cricket. Left-arm unorthodox spin also known as slow left arm chinaman, is a type of left arm wrist off spin bowling in the sport of cricket. Left-arm unorthodox spin bowlers use wrist spin to spin the ball, and make it deviate, or "turn" from left to right after pitching.The direction of turn is the same as that of a traditional right-handed off spin bowler; however, the ball will usually turn more sharply due to the spin being imparted predominantly by the wrist. Leg spinners are usually wrist spinners... right handed bowlers turning from leg to off for a right handed batsman. With the similar action, if the bowler occasionally can make the ball turn as off spin; this is called a Googly;
                                 When the left handed leg spinner bowl an off spin with a leg spin action; it called a Chinaman. The difference between Googly & Chinaman is the the former is bowled by a right hand bowler whilst latter is bowled left handed bowler with similar action. Obviously the ball deviations of say any spin (including leg spin) our opposite in case right and left handed bowlers respectively.. regular or the wrong one`' Some left-arm unorthodox bowlers also bowl the equivalent of a "googly", (or "wrong'un"), which turns from right to left on the pitch. The ball turns away from the right-handed batsman, as if the bowler were an orthodox left-arm spinner
                                   In cricketing parlance, the word "chinaman" is used to describe the stock delivery of a left-arm "unorthodox" spin bowler (though some reserve it for the googly delivery. The origin of the term is uncertain. One version relates to a Test match played between England and the West Indies at Old Trafford in 1933. Ellis "Puss" Achong, a player of Chinese origin, was a left-arm orthodox spinner, playing for the West Indies. He had Walter Robins stumped off a surprise delivery that spun into the right-hander from outside the off stump. As he walked back to the pavilion, Robins reportedly said to the umpire, "fancy being done by a bloody Chinaman!",[2] leading to the popularity of the term in England, and subsequently, in the rest of the world.
                                   Among noted players who have bowled the chinaman is Denis Compton, who specialized in the delivery when bowling. Although better known for fast bowling and orthodox slow left arm, Garfield Sobers could also use the chinaman to good effect. In cricket's modern era, Brad Hogg is a natural spinner of the ball who popularized the chinaman delivery and has one of the most well-disguised wrong-un's. He was a member of Australia's victorious 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cup teams, picking up 13 wickets in 2003 and 21 wickets in 2007. Kuldeep Yadav is a Chinaman bowler from India who made a successful debut in the 4th test against Australia in Dharamsala on 25th March, 2017 by picking up 4 wickets in the first innings. He is the first indian left arm chinaman bowler to debut in tests.

GIRLY FIGHTS

                        It is also known as cat fights. Many times I have come across certain different fights that happen in the world. To be specific, I always like to witness the fights that happen between two girls. Girly fights does not mean, two men fighting for some girl. It simply means, two girls fighting for a silly reason. The main fight comes when two girls who consider themselves as equally important, out of which one gets the importance and the other one does not get the required importance. The fights happen in a very childish manner. They would never wanted to accept their defeat or mistake.                          These fights might happen without any reason at some cases. when we expect the fight to be over, it might continue. There won't be much worthiness of such a fight to happen. In other cases, we might consider a fight to prolong a long...

MISTAKES

                     Every people in and around the world are committing mistakes. No one in the world can say that they have never committed mistakes. Mistakes help us to realize the wrong things and they provide us chances to correct ourselves. It is always easier to blame others for the wrong things that happen and very difficult to accept the mistakes committed by us.                      One should understand that mistakes happen unknowingly, we should not commit mistakes knowingly. suppose, if we have already committed some mistakes, we should try not to repeat it. We should not keep on feeling for the past mistakes. We should ensure that the same mistake is not being repeated and steps necessary to overcome these mistakes are on par. Mistakes cannot be given sizes as large and extra large. Their impact can be different, but mistakes are mistakes.      ...

OVER CAUTIOUS

              One Kind of behavior that should not be possessed by all is over-cautious. It is good to be cautious, but over cautiousness limits the expansion of ones freedom. There would be a lot of restrictions that will be levied on the person when they feel him to be over-cautious. Being overcautious might result in minimizing the error, but there is never a assurance that the error will never happen at all. Definitely, the person needs to get some leverage in doing their works. These people are certainly having some kind of disorder that is know as overcautious disorder.                We can take example from the cricket scenario, we are playing a test match and our team is playing to draw the test match and we have all the wickets in hand and fifth day of the match and around 400 runs to win on the final day, which is herculean task and never happened on the fifth day. All the batsmen's intention would ...
