Each and every country have more economic issues, but very few countries expose is to the outer world. When it comes to America, we can see more number of people suffering and unable to pay medical insurance. In such a situation people moving to Mexico for medical needs is not at all a big thing. Even my country hospitals have got separate section for Foreigners, mostly people from Island nations like Maldives reach my country.

Accepting bitcoin as payment is always profitable, but for the same business owners should have the patience. There are businesses that started accepting bitcoin and stopped the acceptance within short period. This happened as a result of not receiving the expected business. Based on my understanding, right now the situation is like we sow the seed now and need to wait long to enjoy the taste of the fruit.

Williamson and Mitchell screwed Lankan hope which was small to begin with and India secured a spot in the WTC 2023 final as expected. I won decent amounts thanks to these recent tests and I am excited for the final.

Thanks to Shane Williamson Kiwis won the almost losing test match.
Lol. This cracked me up. It's Kane Williamson(Not Shane Williamson).
Sri Lanka was with high hope on winning the match. Even after the first innings performance the winning probability of New Zealand was found high. I felt this to be surprising and finally the same came true. The match going till the last ball is the interesting thing. As stated Williamson stole the show with the last over performance.

Nepal absolutely destroyed Papua New Guinea. First of all, only 95 were collected by Papua New Guinea in the first innings. And it took them 32 overs to get that. Nepal goes to the target in only less than 8 overs. Sandeep Lamichanne performed really well in this match. He got five wickets. He basically destroyed the backbone of the Papua New Guinea's batting order. This is going to be a big confidence booster for Nepal. I hope they will be able to continue performing well like this.

Nepal is now unbeaten in the last 5 matches, and if they win last ODI, they will finish 3rd in this tournament. I don't know what benefit top teams of this tournament will get but it's good to see Nepal coming  up. Teams like UAE and Oman are made up of players from South Asia while Nepal team is 100% made of native players. All eyes now on last game of Nepal with UAE.
This is part of the qualifier for the upcoming World Cup. Nepal reaching the third position on the points table will make way to qualify for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Also this keeps the ODI status of Nepal. Big experience for Nepal to win consecutive matches and enter the qualifier.

Street gambling is certainly very risky and most of those who do it as a business are scammers. They are old versions of casino sites prepared with unfair scripts on fake websites. Fortunately, such a habit is almost nonexistent in my country. However, about 7-8 years ago, I encountered one of them. Then I reported them to the police station near my house. We should not tolerate people who defraud others with fraudulent games.
Not all countries are prepared to take necessary measures. Just because you reported the site might've been stopped. However it is really hard thing to find the person or group functioning behind and to stop them from creating more and more similar websites. Street gambling and what we see as online gambling fraud is completely different.

Big win for Bangladesh and finally wins the series. Big disappointment for England, and the credit goes to Shanto who kept the scoring at its best and made it a winning match. Mehedy Hasan did the best in bowling taking 4 wickets. With the win, third match have turned very interesting as England is at pressure to win a match to avoid the whitewash.

The match between the World Giants team and the India Maharajas team is in progress. Chris Gayle went early but then Finch and Shane Watson are playing superbly well and the world team has scored 82 for one in 7 overs. In the first match also India Maharajas were lost to Asia Lions and I expect the same result today.

India Maharajas actually played well. But they needed a few more meaningful partnerships. And in the end, it was not good enough finishing power from Indian Maharajas. The lower middle order could not basically do anything. The wickets also fell on our regular interval. That's what was the best thing for Asia Lions.
The Indians fans would want the Maharajas team to play well in the Legends League and give some interesting competition. Smiley
Till now they have been disappointed with their performance although some big names are in their team.


In yesterday's match India Maharajas lost to Asia Lions. Today the team is playing against World Giants. Watching the game of players like Brett Lee, Gayle, Kallis, Watson and all were really nice. Same as the olden days Brett Lee have come to bowl the last over where 8 runs required from 6 balls. Once again India Maharajas have lost the match by 2 runs.

Gujarat Giants vs Delhi Capitals Women, 9th Match

Gujarat Giants did not have a good start in this tournament. They were overwhelmed in the first match and today in the 9th match Gujarat Giants also lost the same way against Delhi Capitals. Gujarat Giants set a target of just 105 runs to Delhi Capitals and Delhi Capitals finished the game with just 7 over 1 ball without losing any wicket. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Giants are both weak teams in this tournament although Gujarat Giants is holding the fourth position by wining one match while Royal Challengers Bangalore didn't get any win.
Gujarat in its first match played worse scoring just 64 runs chasing target of 207 runs. Against Royal Challengers scored 201 runs and won the match. This time once again scoring just 105 runs isn't enough to win in a T20 match. Gujarat Giants have got good players, Dunkley, Deol, Meghana, Gardner but something lacks in the team and the same makes them loss matches.

If Australia could score 480 runs which includes two players scoring centuries in this track, do you really think that Indian batsman will find it difficult to score runs. I am expecting a few centuries from the Indian batsman as well as none of the batsmen were able to score big runs and this might be the pitch finally for everyone to score runs and save face and the match would probably end up in a draw.

Today's play is very crucial for the outcome of this match. IMO, the only way there can be an outcome is if India follows on. And they still need another 245 runs to avoid the follow on. Given the batting friendly conditions, chances are that India will also pile up a score in excess of 400 and the match ends in a draw. But if Nathan Lyon or Todd Murphy can get 2-3 quick wickets in the first session, then Indian batsmen will be under a lot of pressure and Australians may sense an opportunity to win this match. Half of the Indian batsmen are not in good form anyway.
The quick wickets will be the deciding factor. The ground is batting friendly which need to used by the batsmen. Indian batsmen were out of form, yet someone to score good too can give hands. Nathan Lyon with his previous match form would try to pick wickets than restricting to score.

At the drinks break, Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match have reached an unexpected situation. Sri Lanka scored 355 runs in the first innings. New Zealand losing its 6th wicket at 188 have ended the innings at 373 runs with lead of 18 runs. The match result is still underway.

Edit

Finally, Khwaja is gone, it was a beautiful daddy hundred.  
In the fourth Test in Ahmedabad, the pitch may have helped the batting, so Australia's first innings was played for two days so far, but Australia was not all out. Usman Khawaja defended the ball for almost 70 overs and scored 180 runs. To say that Osman Khawaja has passed Australia's one-day innings. I think Australia won't declare their innings until they are all out today. Australia have so far accumulated 430 runs for the loss of eight wickets.
At the end of the day there is a bit of regret for Usman Khawaja as he missed his milestone 200 run record by just twenty runs. Yet his contribution to Australia's first innings is undeniable.
Yeah, Khawaja missed his 200 runs. Till the tail end Australia team have batting line-up. I believed the innings would end within 450 runs, now innings ended at 480 runs. Murphy missed his half century walking to the pavilion on lbw at 41 runs. 9th and 10th wicket falls for Australia and it is a five wicket haul for Ashwin.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand

End of Day 2, New Zealand trail by 193 runs. Latham and Conway gave good start, once their wickets fell players failed to stand wicket and now Mitchell and Bracewell on the crease. Even after the loss of 5 wickets, the winning probability of New Zealand is found to be 50% which is quite surprising. Medium Pacers Asitha Fernando and Lahiru Kumara have took two wickets each.

The advertisement is well created to make people understand the need of technology. By the time went through the response for the advertisement. Some has mentioned same is the situation with Coinbase, we need to wait long for the transaction. In always the exchanges too serve same as that of the centralized system.

Earlier the spread about cryptocurrencies happened through word of mouth and slowly the exchanges have been doing it through different promotions. Though this promotion is for Coinbase, it'll make atleast few people to learn what it is all about.

RCB Women vs UP Warriorz to play today's match. RCB haven't started its point, hope this time they win against UP Warriorz. Experts have predicted the first'batting team to win the match and this makes winning the toss very important. Based on the matches played in the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai it is a batting pitch. Bowlers find it hard to stop scoring. Team to bowl well is predicted to win, RCB Women's team is much expecting the performance of Heather Knight.

At the Lunch, Australia were at 354/4. Good session for Australia as there is no wicket fall. Green who was at 49 by the end of day 1 have reached 95* runs, Khawaja have scored 150* runs. Both have made good partnership of 177* runs and they targeted Umesh Yadav's bowling and kept scoring. India need to win the match to play the finals, and this isn't gonna happen. Sri Lanka needs to win both the test matches, the first test match against New Zealand is almost in the favour of Sri Lanka.
1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A remark on casino bonuses on: March 10, 2023, 02:19:31 AM
I think OP is correct. It would be much more benefical for casinos if viewers were instantly redirected to the promotion's page, because when the banner sends the public to the registration page, many people lose interest because they are lazy to fulfill the whole signing up process first, so they immediately lose interest and don't go ahead. Promotions would have a more notorious impact if it was simple as click, deposit, play and try achieving the requirements demanded.
Right now we can't see any platforms availing to claim the bonus without an account registered. Having an account is mandatory, and being lazy doesn't want the bonus. What is necessary to make an account, just an email verification. Surely people won't go with click deposit, play and achieve requirements to claim bonus. Not at all, because we're into a platform that is new and we haven't used it earlier.
1057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: March 10, 2023, 02:15:11 AM
I dislike with FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United because this edition have three co-hosts and cut off two national team slot participants left, no doubt with added participants from 32 become 48 national team and three co-hosts have 45 national team will get place for participating in FIFA World Cup 2026.

Still controversy with added participants team in FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United and have many matches later but most advantage with commercial is FIFA, they will earn much commission from broadcast and advertising with have many matches than usually still adopt 32 national team participants.

Maybe this is the start of a new era of multi-country-hosted world cups. Already we have 3 for the next one and there's talks about having 4 in the 2030 one in South America.

Given that so many teams will be able to qualify, it's not crazy to qualify immediately more than one host.

We'll have to see what happens.
Just because the team is part of the host nations and getting opportunity isn't good. Atleast for this reason one country needs to host the event. Through this two teams additionally gets qualified into the World Cup. This means two countries that have given the best and stay unqualified. These situations needs to be taken into consideration and properly managed.

Great job! @Vaskiy. A seperate thread for WPL was needed. I am not sure why no one was aware of this thread. I would recommend you to send DM to all those members whom you see active on the other T20 thread to come here and discuss about WPL matches. Already WPL has started with a bang and many members are actively discussing about it. I would do that from now onwards.
Very few are discussing about the Women's league. Even in the T20 discussion thread there is not much of discussion happening relative to the WPL. Most of the active members into cricket discussion could've seen the thread and they're not interested. Sending them DM about the thread isn't gonna make the thread have better discussion. Maybe in the next season's we'll have more discussion as more women's league of different countries will come into discussion.

Congratulations to Team Bangladesh for winning the first T20 match against England. If we consider the past statistics we can see that till now England have played only one T20 match against Bangladesh and in that match England won.  But today Bangladesh rewrote history. Won the T20 match for the first time against the English today.  Bangladesh reached their target with 12 balls in hand after going to bat with a target of 157 runs. A huge win by 6 wickets is undoubtedly a very happy news for the entire Bangladesh.  Congratulations to Bangladesh.
Maybe tomorrow will be a national holiday in Bangladesh Grin Cheesy Cheesy Earlier for the win against India in the world cup match during the year 2011, public holiday declared. Today's win is big and Bangladesh executed everything in a perfect way without mistakes. Major contribution and credit goes to Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan who led the team well.

If the pitch starts deteriorating on 2nd or 3rd day then it would be tough for India. Let's hope it's not going Chennai's way (Ind vs Eng).
I doubt India will lose this match. I made an early prediction that the series would end as 2-1 in India's favor with the remaining match ending as a draw and it looks like this match will end as a draw.

It would surprise me if the Indian batsmen actually collapsed on such a batting friendly pitch. Let's see what happens.
Yes, based on the performance from Australia team it is sure a batting pitch. Australia would score 350+ runs based on the end of day 1. Khawaja on 104* and Green at 49* runs will continue the partnership. Indian batsmen can't be believed, at times everyone play similarly without understanding the match situation.

What happened on the Chennai ground is something rare and as expected things weren't working with the Indian bowlers. Possibly during the first session of day 2 we can expect fall of wickets.
