Seems like I am the only one who is keeping a track of this form - not much people are interested in movies and what is going on in the cinema - I watched another movie today - Don't look up. There are so many critics who are calling this movie a rotten tomato. But this movie sheds a light on global warming and how we take things so light. It's unbelievable but than this is really happening.
Rather, few people are interested in the opinion of "academicians" - most of the visitors to this forum do not care about them, since they have their own opinion. From a betting point of view, the Oscars are bullshit, so there isn't much discussion here. The film is really good, I was even surprised that "censorship" allowed it to come out because people can see too many direct analogies with what they see in real politics. So people are so much into movies - I have learnt alot from films and cinematography. I am not sure why people are not much interested in discussing films and actor and visual effects. The forum is quite slow. But I would like to see opinion of people and what they think about movies and star and glitz and glam of oscar. |

No, You are absolutely Right i just want to say every problem is cureable. We need fix issue on behalf of Just Baning and Completely disconnecting it.
Everything will be fixed let me tell you how
Solution:
Its a rough sketch lets do it.
I want to say If Government lunches its own Centralized exchange (wait wait) just to Provide the Stable currency to its users to buy Crypto there will be a check point note check point government can Check which person is buying how much money then,
Again Nobody will be able to withdraw crypto into Cash or Country Currency without that exchange then government can charge taxs and track the Blance in between users are free to intrect.
Government has done so much for freelancers, just because they are bringing so much remittance to the nation- if the freelancer are acknowledged I am sure in coming days government will realize that crypto is fine market to be given due importance. Days are near when we will see good future of crypto in Pakistan - If Kaptain stays for sometime! |

No one has enough time to go through an entire test match. It takes 40 hours of your time. Only if you are a student, or a retired person, you have this much time available with you. And look at the ongoing test matches, such as the one between England and West Indies, and the one between Pakistan and Australia. What you will gain from watching these useless matches. Both the teams make 500 plus scores and then the match ends in a draw. You want to waste 40 hours of your time to watch such matches?
Test cricket is something that does require a lot of skill. ODI cricket also requires a good amount of skill. But, I feel like T20 is the format where you can go absolutely crazy as a Batsman and get rewarded for it. yes, T20 is the most important format of cricket right now in the whole world. To be honest, at this moment most people don't have enough time to watch even an ODI match, to see you down and watch cricket for 100 overs can hamper a lot of productivity. And in this matter test cricket is absolutely out of the question. T20 is probably the only format that can be enjoyed by maintaining other work. Agreed and white uniform and less spectator and lots and lots of balls and long innings has never been appealing to me. That looks too boring and is so time consuming - however cricket is about colour, Lots of noise and quick deliveries and fast decisions. I am not sure someone is that excited about test match - but being a fan we have to follow up! |

As the series decider test match against Pakistan approaches, Australia has won the toss and chosen to bat first. How do you think the series will turn out?
Pakistan replaces Faheem Ashraf with Naseem Shah; but Australia remain unchanged. The match will demonstrate that Pakistan can beat Australia. For the first day of a test match, the pitch should provide more for bowlers. Here we go. Australians are 8/2, and Sahin Afridi has the early break.
Lahoris so excited on the return of Test match to the Qadafi stadium. Shaheen Shah gave a good break through by sending two batsmen back to the dressing room Labuschagne was surprised too on what has happened to him. But I believe the series will end in draw. Let's see! |

Hands down to those who predicted a draw for Pakistan and Aussie test match. What a treific draw by Pakistan and what a wonderful performance by Muhammad Rizwan and Captain Babar Azam. I really like the personality of Muhammad Rizwan. Can't get my eyes off the TV when Riz is on the field.
Yeah... congrats to Pakistan for saving the match. But the man of the match award should go to the curator who prepared the dead pitch. To be frank, the pitch was not of international quality and it is a shame that the PCB needs to resort to such cheap tactics to get some points in the WTC. If they had prepared a lively pitch and lost the match, then there was some honor in that. At least we could have said that they tried hard. But for this series, from the very first day the Pakistanis went on the defensive. There is no honor even if they win a few points from drawn matches.  Rameez Raja already apologised to the cricket fan for what they did to the pitch. I am sure they have had tough time internally. And they will be very very careful and would not do such blunder again. One thing is for sure - Pakistani sometimes become too over confident of their skills and ruin everything at the end. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing - hence proved! |

Another match up and another surprise from Bangladesh but i would say the pitch was turning a lot and it was a difficult pitch to bat and Bangladesh was wrong in assessing the pitch as they won the toss and elected to bat. If they would have sent South Africa to bat after winning the toss, i think the situation would have been different. Toss was crucial in a pitch like this and Bangladesh ended up in the receiving end.
There was a huge debate on Pakistan and Aussie test match and the dead pitch, someone suggested that there should be a set pattern and rules for making pitches. But seem like many teams get an edge when they play on home ground and they are well practiced and well aware of how the ball will spin on that pitch. Let's hope the best team wins. |

There is no point to being harsh on anyone - everyone has their opinion, In one of the links you mentioned about women winning a bet in football match doesn't seem to be regular gamblor - she was a heartbroken woman who won a bet. Luck was on her side. Also in other story a man with $50 - don't seem like he is regular gamblor. |

I recently watched it too. Quite a futuristic movie actually, the funny tech they have like the dragonfly helicopter yet the soldiers are using swords. Doesn't seem to make sense to me and it's rare to see movies today that are more than 2 hours and it seems to have a sequel one day. It ended like they were just journeying to a new kingdom walking to the desert. Maybe I didn't follow much of the story, it's the boy that supposes to be the new leader as prophesized so that's just it. But it almost shows how politics work still even today. The movie is nominated in many categories so there is a chance. I'm doubting but probably like the Best film editing, Best cinematography, or Best visual effects.
Is any of us watching some polls that might help us bet for the win?
And so is Don't look up. When I started watching the movie I thought it will be funny but at the end I felt very sad. Although the ending is very fictional but this movie made things so scary. I don't know if anyone has noticed that is literally a parallel to how world looks at the climate change. That is the same we did with Covid. |

Oscar was considered as the top most award in the flim Industry. A.R.Rahman had got two Oscar at the same time for the music.It was great prestigious one for him.So the same was won by many country film Industry people. Most of the times, we can predicted the Winners from the Nomination.Nomination was the first step to get into the award section.You need huge support to win the ward.
 But where did AR Rehman come in discussion? He is not in nomination and these Oscar has nothing to do with AR. Reham. He has a great voice but I don't think there is anything in this year Oscar relating to AR Rehman. Thanks for updating us how big the Oscar are and that Indain Singer won it twice. Great to know that. |

I really thought that the pitch was going to be a lot better than this. I really did not expect to see this after 24 years. I thought that the matches were going to be really competitive. Instead, we just saw the batters playing as they wish, and realistically there is a love result outside a draw in a pitch like this.
If any team becomes aggressive it is certain that they might lose a wicket but if they play safe there is no way that a batsman is going to get out. But I have to give credit to Pakistan for not losing the test match.
You are right that pitch was not upto standard and we see hardly any support for bowlers so far except in Pakistan second innings. Australia is visiting Pakistan after 24 years and Pakistan just don't wanna lose this series to prove there equivalency with Australia team. Poor show by curator. All is well that ends well. Everyone was in good mood. Especially Waqar Younus, after the match review, he looked so happy and said in last 10 over my heart was pumping on every ball. Draw also means a win for Pakistan. To be honest, Pakistani needs to work more honestly in their respective departments. They are certainly lacking professionalism. |

I didn't know there were so many different categories with the Oscars. But in the film industry naturally also involves gigantic amounts. It would also be nice if a certain sport could be associated with winning an Oscar, completely separate from the Ballon Dor for example. But not many sporters are appearing in movies.
Likewise, there are so much to look at when it comes to Oscar. And I read it on internet that male winners take home $3.9 million whereas the female winner take $500,000 bonus home. But its surprising to find that statue of worth $1 - lol - But the nominee would enjoy since There are so much in goodie bags and wow the glamour attached to the Oscar. What a night it will be! Really - I never know that. Keep telling more which excited my mind. Oscar tag is a big tag when attached to an person or film. But there are a few. nomination which I am not sure, why and how they are in nomination. Like I find The power of the dog so boring to be nominated to the oscar. But of course judges have their own choice we have our own choice. Found it boring too. People are drawn to how the story ends when they can relate it to thier lives because in-laws are hostile to them or to thier mothers. It commonly happens actually, I was just surprised the boy has it in him. Do you think Jesse Plemons will win a supporting actor too? Most of the movies that are nominated in categories are featuring the lives of the old like 1960-70s. The oldest so far that I have seen are the Power of the Dog, The Belfast, and West Side Story. That's correct, but people have great reviews for Dune. They even read the book after watching the film. Sometime a movie stays with person for a very long time. And Dune is one of its kind. Jesse Plemons can win, but to be honest, I found it so boring and depressing that I left it in the middle. But I will be very shocked if the movie wins the oscar. The move Dune is so masterfully shot, you could watch the movie on mute and still be entertained. Hand down the best thing going for Dune is the stunning visuals from beginning to the end. The Director Denis Villeneuce collected a beautiful collection of scenes that are truly a sight to see. |

Also Pakistan management will have to answer the tough questions as to how did the team collapse so soon despite having the home advantage, and one reason I can suggest is Pakistan became overconfident after drawing the first match, what other reasons can you’ll think for their collapse. One of the most over confident guy in Pakistan team is imam ul haq. He was selected in team initially purely on nepotism as his uncle Inzamam-ul-Haq was chief selector at that time. After first test imam gave too many statements like he is new Don Bradman of the era. See the result in second test yourself. Today is a good day for Pakistan - All rounder of the match went to Muhammad Rizwan. And wow!! for Babar Azam too. Today the team played well. Interesting match though. Let's take out time to appreciate boys. Forget other stuff. I am so amazed and suprized in what Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam did today. Well played boys! |

Is Pakistan batting for victory now? Yesterday their run rate was below 2.3. But now they are playing somewhat aggressively. They have scored 37 runs in the last 10 overs. Their run rate in the last 10 overs is 3.7. They need 160 runs in 28 overs. Pakistan has a chance to win. Because Babar Azam and Rizwan are now in the crease. Both are very talented players.
Pakistan definitely not playing to win but to draw the game. The game has suddenly changed as Pakistan lost few quick wikcets and they now have to survive 24 more balls to draw the game. Australia need 3 more wickets, Pakistan hopes are now with Rizwan who is not out on 91 runs. Matche in very exciting at the moment. Muhammad Rizwan is an absolute beauty - he has always saved Pakistan from difficult situation. There is something amazing about his personality, very composed and focused - I love watching him when he is batting and when he is fielding behind the wickets. What a wonderful day for Pakistan. |

Lack of quality domestic setup, not nurturing the young blood or Politics, we can call it whatever but main point is Bangbros let down their fan base all around the world. I used to admire Bangladeshi team a lot due to their fighting spirit on the ground, in the past they managed to produce some fine upset and used to give tough fight to Indians and other big teams. They were always underdog but you can't consider yourself underdog even after 2 decade. You need to up your level at some stage, considering team like Afghanistan knocking the doors in LOI.
Cricket is the most celebrated sports in subcontinent - it brings joy and happiness to the people. People of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh cannot see their teams losing any match, whatsoever is the reason. We have strong criticism skills as well. And we would not spare any thing go unattended. So let's hope our teams do the best in coming days. |

Pakistan is relatively new team, and now they are at 18 matches losing streak but still done good job for last two matches first against South Africa and now against Bangladesh as in these both matches they were near to win but sadly due to lack of experience and bad technique fail both time hopefully these ladies will have their good lessons from these defeats and now try to change things in future.
But, England is losing third match in a row a big shocking upset for cricket fans in England as they were one of favourite teams but sadly lose all matches against West Indies and now South Africa mean they are at decline and have not enough preparation for this mega event now these ladies have very few chances because these need 4 out of 4 for having any chance and these ladies have chances against Pakistan, Bangladesh but tough games against India and New Zealand.
I think we all can agree that we could expect something like that from the Pakistan women's team but not from England. And Pakistan obviously did get close to winning in some matches. Like the match against Bangladesh which was a very winnable match for Pakistan but they just started throwing in my opinion. A little bit more experience could help them win the match. But, the England women's team is another story because there were the hot favorites along with Australia to win the women's world cup but the performance that they are showing right now is just not good enough and at the moment they are on the verge of being eliminated from the world cup. Pakistani team needs a serious practice and the whole team needs to work together as a team. The could have easily won the match against bangladesh. Apparently the maiden century of Sidra Amen went into vain. The team work makes the dream work. I hope next time Pakistan team comes to ground with great zeal and zest. Let's take out a moment to support Aussie Women cricket team. Australia beats Nz for the fourth consecutive win. I am sure Australia is going to win the tournament. They are dedicated to everything they do, be it sport or any other field. All the teams have great things to learn from Aussie. May the best team wins. |

Actually, there are a lot of problems in the Bangladesh cricket team and the board. There were even some problems in recent times between the coach and the players. You know, that the way Mashrafe Bin Mortaza had to give away the captaincy of Bangladesh cricket was just shameful.
I know this will sound like I am just saying negative things about the Bangladesh cricket board but it's true that the board does not care about the players. The only thing that they care about is money and being in power.
Bangladesh has some experienced players and they are really good assets for the Bangladesh cricket team. but I think they are not being utilized properly to get the best out of them. And that's why the board has so many problems with most of the senior players.
Bangladesh is playing international cricket for 3 to 4 decades and they are test playing country for almost 2 decades but still they are not a recognized team mostly they are at level of an associate team. I dont think BCB is the only problem, Bangladesh doesnt have the talent that can play good cricket at international level. Is there any single player that can be seen as threat to big teams? |

I don't know why there is so lengthy debate going on about BCB and Shakib? As per my knowledge shakib has played 59 test, 218 ODIs and 96 T20Is for Bangladesh and still I read posts that BCB has not done justice with that legendary all rounder. What else a player need from his board if he has played so many matches.
This is all because of the increasing money flow into cricket and the emergence of Bangladesh as a better team with time. When there is money automatically there'll be politics and the same is happening with the Bangladesh cricket board. He's a good cricketer, and has faced several such disciplinary complaints which is true. Now what has been looking like an politics that is being played by people who doesn't have better idea about cricket. This is like establishing their power. Yes shakib has been one of the best players for Bangladesh. May be we can say he is the best player of all time for Bangladesh. But his behaviour time and time again has been very bad. He has only decreased his respect among cricket fans. I dont agree that BCB has not done justice with him. I think he has not done justice to his skills and for his country by showing bad behaviour. Can we give a bit of attention to women cricket team as well. They are also doing good and needs a bit of appreciation. In today's match Eng Vs South Africa - I believe SV will win this match they are at the moment batting chasing and needs 67 runs from 74 balls. |

Bangladesh Woman and Pakistan Woman are playing and i am expecting Pakistan to win the match but lets see how it goes, another interesting match that is coming up is England woman and South African Woman and England needs to win to keep their hopes intact as they already lost couple of matches and they need a win to keep their semi hopes alive.
For the first time, the Pakistani women's team is looking in a winning position in the world cup. They need about 64 runs in 60 balls with 8 wickets still in hand. Pakistan should must win this match from this position. It will be their first win in this women's world cup and they will be moved up from the last position at the points table.  Oh Umar Idrees - bad luck, Pakistan lost the match with 9 runs. Well played but seems like things are not towards Pakistani side. They played really well. I like the spirit of Pakistani Captain, she seems so much dedicated and passionate about winning - but the time is not in favor better luck to Pakistani team in next world cup cup. Seems like I was over optimistic about our women's team performance. Today I know that we can't even chase a run a ball target with 8 wickets in hand The unwanted run out of Sidra Ameen is the game changing moment in my view. She scored her maiden century and the following players didn't contribute to the efforts. The lower order failed to score and this is a big loss for Pakistan. At the start of the innings Pakistan looked so strong to make an easy winning. As said the chances have got narrowed and hoping for a good comeback by the next world cup.
No one to blame for this loss. It was a collective team effort that helped them lose the perfect winning match. Now the only target left for Pakistan team is to win at least a single match in the world cup.  Pakistani cricket team needs a lot of practice, patience, hardwork and focus of course! They are easy target to the strong teams. What to speak of strong team if they cannot win against Bangladesh. Seem like the weakest team in the tournament is Pakistani team. I think PCB should pay a serious attention to the training of Women team to bring it up to the level of Men's cricket team. |
