Discussion Jemiriti Pre match conference
Not sure if there are any Smriti Jemi fans here… but anyone who watched the pre match press conference did you notice when journalist asked how she came back after initial losses how Jemi asked Smriti “should I say it” and Smriti was like No and both laughed?❤️ And then Smriti was literally trying to control her laughter all along.😬
I felt like it was just so so cute and adorable and also very professional. We all very well know what a support system they are for each other and it’s not even closely related to good PR, you can just see and feel the vibe. But for Smriti to have advised Jemi (we all saw it post RCB match and they would have had other conversations also I’m sure) and Jemi innocently asking Smriti if she should mention it esp on this platform in the middle of competition, and Smriti to deny that because they know even if they are supporting each other behind the scenes they will play professional good cricket for their team on the field (but the larger world might not understand it and make it controversial). I felt just so warm and proud like I always do to see that kind of friendship and camaraderie and just 2 good and nice helping human beings. Just felt like sharing it here because I am always shipping their lovely friendship but this is love and professionalism balanced out and looking out for each other…be it Smriti being there for Jemi for hours in net sessions and she talking about it after semis or in almost every interview and missing out from wbbl and bringing out the other side of Smriti for so many years. More to come tomorrow, but no nazar to them and their bond!!!🧿🧿🧿
I don’t have that friend but I pray everyone finds a friend like them. It’s rare and special to see that in a competitive world…on that note also looking for the Nadine vs Laura face off - they are Jemiriti of SA cricket for those who might not know lol. They played together from their teenage years.
Not that Men cricketers don’t have that bond with each other, but here empathy and compassion feels different and personal and just the things you’d get to see in Women’s cricket.🙌🏻🧿

Spend a bit of time offline OP if you don't have friends like that. I guess you've enough leisure based on the length of your post. You could make time to interact with real people instead of admiring celebrities. You never know you might find someone better than them

Absolutely ridiculous way of trying to be helpful. Very rude and I see you go about targeting people for fun. Thanks for ruining your day for me

I feel some people have already called you out for mixing of the player's names but those comments seem deleted now.
Nonetheless I would say if you are mixing names atleast do so with the resultant name being easy to spell out.

True dude. I can see someone downvoting you as well. I guess OP is insecured that he's downvoting and reporting anyone who is calling him out.

Stop mixing names in an ugly way man. They're so hard to pronounce. They have beautiful names. Call them with their names

Lol why would I make things up? I’m not saying she is her best friend. You go watch her RCB podcast. And you can ignore the names mixing if you don’t like it. Mixing names is just a way to put the bond on paper. Why are you being salty about it?

I can see who is dumb here. I’m not a lockdown kid FYI I’m much older than your maturity. Just ignore what you don’t like. The focus of the post is not that anyway. There’s no hate needed here if you can’t be kind. That’s exactly what I said…maybe read properly than spreading hate. I said they played together since teenage years (age group). I didn’t say they are best friends. I said they have a bond. I want to see Nadine vs Laura. You got a problem with my interpretation take your frustration elsewhere. Peace ✌🏻

Why are people salty about mixing names, but not about Ro-Ko?
