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...

INVESTMENT DECISION

                             It is always a wise decision to invest in either gold or land or stocks, shares, bonds debenture etc. The sole aim of this investment is to earn profit and utilize it for future purpose. But, we must understand one thing before investing. That important thing is the return we get back. The return is basically high when compared to the investment in terms of the value in most of the cases. but, when we consider the Net present value, the returns might not be greater than investment. So, we must be very careful in that decision.                              Net present value is nothing but the amount we receive in future divided by the interest rate. Suppose we are investing 10,000 in a bank and get back 15,000 in the next year, it has more value than getting 3,200 for the next 5 years. Since, the value of 320...
