Where do you see that Indian women's team won the world cup three times? I think you counted the three times when India hosted the women world cup but they never won it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Cricket_World_Cup

It's very much clear from this data that only England, New Zealand and Australia have capable women teams rest of the countries don't have team that can compete with these three women big 3. The worst part of BCCI who is richest board in the world and host of worlds most expensive T20 league is taking women cricket for granted.

We have 5th match of women WC today between Bangladesh and New Zealand. Bangladesh scored 144 runs in 27 overs, match was limited to 27 overs. New Zealand chased the target quite easily in 20th over by losing just one wicket. Suzie Bates and Amelia are main performer from New Zealand side.

There is nothing suspicious, morning he has made the final tweet for the death of Rodney and things have happened unexpected. Cardiac arrest can happen in no time, so there is nothing to investigate much. However a player well known around the globe dying in foreign country makes it suspicious. His friends have tried the best, and he is the one to dominate the spin bowling from the Western nations. Because it was always Asians who dominate the spin bowling. Warne have served as the turning point in more number of matches and have made Australia win.

Let's wait for final reports about his death, Aussie government will not let this matter go un investigated. Its better not to do speculation about his death as there is no chance of anyone who died.
Whether we like him or not, his stats are speaking about his performance 708 wickets in 273 innings. There is nobody with such magical figures. Every batsmen was terrified to face him.

Have anyone watched the T20 world cup cricket between India Women and Pakistan Women. The Indian team had made an easy win against the Pakistan team. India have managed to score 244 runs whereas Pakistan reached 137 losing every wickets. Indian Women team have played well, upcoming matches against New Zealand and Australia will be the hardest for India. If this has been a match between the men's team, now this could've turned to be the biggest discussion.

Yes that's the irony, there is very little interest in women cricket. Not even in Pakistan and India many are aware of this big match. India won the match quite easily against Pakistan team ( not as strong as there men team). Indian team have made a good start of the tournament after they lost odi and t20 series to NZ.

Absolute road... so for batters its like stat padding and have some match practice. Usually Pindi's pitch are green top, not sure why curators opted for dead pitch. May be they were gunning for complete 5 day quota for historic test match.

We need 1 epic collapse in this match, looks tough but that's a only hope left.

We are in 3rd session of day 4 and Australia are 68 runs behind Pakistan total of 476 runs. Two Australian players are victim of nervous 90 i.e. khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne. Definitely we have a draw for this match as Australians will declare there innings sometimes tomorrow.

I will be following this deal with great interest. I hope in the end Chelsea will be bought by some public person and not by a murky "investment fund" from some offshore. Because in this case, I will assume that this is a fictitious deal and Abramovich simply shifted the asset from one pocket to another in order to avoid sanctions. However, judging by the mood of the whole world, now it will be very difficult to do this.
Abramovic has been made the scapegoat of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; all of his properties are at risk of being taken over; he loves this club and never wanted to sell it, but he had no choice now to avoid sections; he's already sold his multimillion mansion; now he's put the club up for sale, and I believe he'd sell it to the right man who loves the club as much as he did. He'll be sorely missed. He was a guy of passion, and I hope the new owner sees the club for more than just riches.

Abramovic is abandoning the UK economy entirely.

I am from Russia, so in Abramovich I see first of all a bandit and a robber, and not a "good guy who loves football." I'm glad that the UK is expelling him, I'm glad that there comes some kind of limit after which the developed countries refuse blood money. I don't think that the change of ownership will hurt Chelsea but even if so, you probably understand that for me in these events the interests of the football club are not the priority at all.
On a side note - a bit off topic. How do Russian respond to Putins invasion? I feel very sad and sorry for all the lives that are being lost during these days. Do you support war as well? How are people of Russian doing and how are they responding to all the sanctions. Is there any way public can put a pressure on government to have mercy on the people on the other side of the boarder. They are humans too - like you me and everyone around.

Ukraine has requested that their qualifying game for the WC is postponed. It was supposed to be played in Scotland on March 24th and in Ukraine on March 29th but considering the fact that football has been suspended in Ukraine it remains to be seen how this will be handled.

Both Fifa and the Scottish FA have expressed understanding for the situation and hopefully a solution can be found. If not, unfortunately football is not the most important thing in such situations - but it would be unfair if Ukraine would not get the chance to play.
sports have always been used to promote peace. Football is not important but World Cup is. Being expelled from such an event and other teams boycotting and not willing to play with Russain this is a war won without coming in battle field. My heart aches to see the people in pain and running for their lives. May that war ends soon and may we all witness the dawn of peace to bless all the sufferers of the world.

Right now i heard the sad news on my tv that Shane Warne dies because of the heart attack in thailand. This is shocking news.
He was a legend leg spinner we have ever seen.
This news is also confirmed by cricinfo. We have lost a legend today.  Sad

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/shane-warne-australia-s-legendary-legspinner-dies-aged-52-1303593
Every soul has to face the death and we bow to the will of creator. Very sad news indeed, I heard it and prayed for him - God bless the departed soul and give patience to those left behind. Shane Warne was my favorite. He was a great leg spinner he had a great bowling style. He was a legend and he will alway be remembered with great words in coming day.

Even we don't like the idea of banning Russian players, it's good that there's pressure for Vladimir Putin. Not all Russians want the war and something should hit Putin's head into calmness state. But I don't how those things will be solved as there are now more civilians killed in Ukraine because of a Russian invasion. It's not as easy as Putin will stop the invasion. How about those innocent people being killed?

Putin needs to be stopped. Russia loves peace, I'm sure about that.

I think that after the end of the war, in which Russia will lose (you cannot win a war against the whole world), it will pay huge reparations to Ukraine. The dead people cannot be returned, it is true, but the destruction will be paid for by Russia itself. I'm not saying that this will happen right tomorrow, perhaps the sanctions will destroy Russia in a few years, but I am sure that this will happen - all these crimes that the whole world has seen cannot be hidden or canceled.

Very right -but I disagree that Putin loves Peace, these super power will do anything to destroy peace. Resulting - kids will miss their dads and widows will moarn for their husbands for whole lives. Sports has always been used as a medium to promote peace. And
Along side the mentioned threads on the main page- I have heard in the local news channel that Formula1 has also canceled their contract with Russia's Grand Prix promoter.
May peace prevail!
1130  Economy / Gambling / Re: Would you support a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms? on: March 04, 2022, 03:19:39 PM
Not a blanket boycott. That's extremely harsh on the citizens.

I don't play on 1xbit or 1xbet not because it's owned by Russians but because of the unresolved scam accusations.

The way everyone is sanctioning things in Russia, it seems there are no one living in Russia that the 144.1 million people are not human LOL

Imagine from the point of a Russian Civilian who is not supporting the war in Ukraine, who wants peace dialog and want to see the brotherhood between these two county. But just because he is a Russian now he can not visit an EU county or in a state of America , he can not have assets in these regions, he can not conduct any business at all, his assets are being seized . He has no right in those countries. Or may be he is in any of these countries living for long time. From now on his life will be a harder. The Russian military is killing innocent civilians but the rest of the word is making Russian civilians life a misery.

What are we achieving from this WAR?

I don't know but these unnecessary bans on businesses or platforms owned by Russians looks like a hostage situation to me. They want the citizens to turn against their Government and force them to stop the attacks.
Majority is authority - if the government does anything wrong, it's either opposition or the public which brings government on track. This is a small support one can extend to the people in need in war zones. We were not over with Afghan - US war now there is another. The super powers need to know that they don't have authority to attack any country because they are weak or they need another time pass activity to test their weapons.
I strongly support the boycott. This is peaceful way to show everyone's protest.
1131  Economy / Gambling / Re: Join a collective boycott of all Russian gambling platforms on: March 04, 2022, 03:13:59 PM
I played on some of the casinos on the list in the past, but with the new casinos coming out with a good reputation, I was able to stick with them.
However, I'm not literally joining the boycott, in the first place I don't gamble on these casinos so it's like I boycott them.

I hope this war will be over soon so we will not have this kind of boycott to sanction a business operating in Russia, this is not good for the crypto space since we also have lots of crypto users in that country.
I would like to join the boycott, war is not the solution and its an impose of power on the weak. Many countries in the world are going through wars. This must end. I am glad many other companies and industries have joined to play their role. Netflix, Formula 1, Master card, H&M. Little by little it can help.
May we all see a peaceful world around us soon!

Bangladesh has always had problems in test cricket. The best form of cricket in which Bangladesh plays really well in the one-day international.

In T20 Bangladesh is below average in my opinion, in test cricket to be honest Bangladesh absolutely sucks. one of the big reasons for this is because Bangladesh doesn't have different lineups for different formats.

Mominul Haque is a great cricketer for Bangladesh and he made a great name for himself when he started his career in test cricket but then the over-eager selectors selected him for the one-day and T-20 matches and he did not do very well in those. So his form in test cricket also dropped.

The domestic setup is well in very few countries. The domestic setup in Bangladesh is not good at all and a lot of match-fixing by the umpires and some shady business going on in the domestic cricket of Bangladesh, you know. I think no one remembers the bowler in Bangladesh domestic cricket who gave 92 runs in 4 balls. Yeah, that also happened. Now that bowler can be found selling burgers in the streets of the City, kidding,  Cheesy

Yes, Mominul Haq for Test cricket and Tamim Iqbal for ODI both are trying hard to come up to expectation of the people. The team Bangladesh came to cricket field very late compared to the other international teams. All they need is a good practice and some great resources to come up to the other teams level. But I have not liked the last you have stated for the bowlers of the Bangladesh team they have legendary bowlers like Shakib.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 21, 2022, 07:05:51 PM

You don't understand what I mean. I did not say that their squad is weak. Their squad is very strong. And everyone is an experimented player. They have got a chance in the national team by proving their qualifications. I just wanted to say they lost form after the World Cup. They are not consistent.
2-1 years ago, even if all the players in the team played badly, we could have relied on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. These two players could serve the team regularly. But now, there is no one in the Indian team who is consistently playing well.

Edit : Mate, I have talked about the overall condition of the Indian team after the T20 world cup. Not about the T20 format.

I dont know whether it correct or not just my own thoughts that Kohli is most inconsistent player these days. As a regular batsman he scored his last century in 2019, so its three years since he scored a ton. I strongly feel that India must try some new talent in place of kohli while he regain his form in domestic player. Kohli totally failed in SA tour and chances are he may repeat same performance against SL.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun alone? how true? on: February 21, 2022, 06:58:56 PM
Gambling is just plain fun for those players who are in control and I am very much sure there are not many who in control of there emotions.

Most gamblers who play responsibly enjoy the experience and exhibit no problems, research suggests. These people set limits on how much money and time they can spend, and they are likely to gamble on the internet. But gambling is just one of several leisure activities these players undertake.

So if you can fulfill above criteria then surely gambling is fun for you otherwise it will bring anxiety for you.

Never give out your seed phrases, even to family, just put it in your will incase you die.


I do agree with all things OP wrote except this one. Life is uncertain and we dont know when we will breath our last. Many bitcoins are lost just because there wallet owners die without giving key/seed or password to there next of kins. Even if you share things like key/seed or password to your next of kin make sure he/she can operate your wallet and use them.

In short, remain a lowkey person.

Cant agree more. There are nobody in this world who will be happy with your success rather people felt jealous because of others success. Its best not to share what you have achieved.
1136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 21, 2022, 05:33:23 PM
It is obvious now that Multan, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar have qualified for the playoffs for this year PSL. There is one match left between Lahore and Peshawar which will be played today. The result of this match can only change the position but the top 4 teams will remain unchanged. After this match, I will share the final points table and also will share the play-off schedules so no one misses these finals matches of the best league PSL.  

Multan Sultan are simply unstoppable because they have Muhammad Rizwan who has scored 479 runs in 10 innings, the second highest runs scorer in PSL after Fakhar zaman 521 in 10 innings. But we have seen that team winning all margins rearly wins the tournament, usually underdof wins the tournament. Lets see whether Multan can change this narrative or bags the PSL title this year.

Right now Qalandars need 76 runs in 48 balls. Match is interesting lets see who wins the last game.

If you have no idea about players or never follow test cricket in general even scorecard then stop making general comment. By making such comment, which has virtually no facts and far from reality, you're not adding anything in discussion and it might look like spam.

In last 3-4 years India did nothing in their middle order, in 99% matches Kohli-Rahane-Pujara. Only couple of match i remember when this trio didn't appear together was cause of injury issue or break. That's it. So no they didn't do any experiment with the middle order yet. Now they are moving on which is a good thing.

Don't forget India won 2 back to back series in Australia and atm leading series by 2-1 in England. They won everywhere except South Africa and NZ. Not to mention virtually undefeated at home, they lost only 2-3 series in last 20-22 years at home.

Indian Chief selector said that he requested all dropped players to play "Ranji Trophy" so that selectors can review there performance and fitness. This idicates the fact that Rehana and Pujara are dropped because of there decline in performance. Ajinkya Rahane has performed well in match between Mumbai and Saurashtra,  he scored 129 and 91 in two innings while his team lost the game. While Pujara was out on duck but still his team won.

He already announced his retirement after them match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNSxonz4tc4 . Seeing his body condition after the match I think he has wisely called it a day.

Here I am also favoring Afghanistan in twenty/20 and for ODI series I have feeling that both teams will fight hard because one is having some experience and second is full of talent with this we are going to have some very exciting matches from these both sides, but Bangladesh is going to have some advantage as they are playing at home and their performance is very good against few teams here even few days back they lost against Pakistan but against Afghanistan they can do some better performance and most chances they will have some important points from this series as well.

ICC need to do some work for more cricket for these countries because this is very helpful and players will have some good experience from these matches instead of allowing them for leagues.

Don't rely on ICC for introducing cricket to new countries or improving level of associate teams, don't know what job ICC is doing other then serving Big 3.
Afghanistan has made progress on its own and biggest thing which contributed in promoting cricket in Afghanistan is the fact that afghan players are trained in Pakistan domestic setup. Bangladesh on the other hand is just an average team who hasn't achieved much in there 2 decades of cricketing career.
1140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 20, 2022, 06:53:33 PM
Exclusion of Pujara and Rahane isn't a good decision. This time the selection criteria is much focused on the young players, so that next set of players can be kept active for the test squad. As in one of the quote it is said about the opportunity provided. Every player selected must be given good rope of chances, unlike the performance. Only then it is possible to find the right player. Pujara and Rahane used to give a good starting, if the new players doesn't perform well they could've been brought in. This will help handle unwanted opening pressure.

Everyone discussing exclusion of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. No one discussing the exclusion of Ishant Sharma and Wriddhiman Saha from the squad ?
Pujara last 10 innings score is 0, 47, 0, 22, 26, 61, 4, 91, 1, 45. So I think Sharma Ji has made right decision of excluding Pujara from the team. Both Pujara and Rahane must go back and play domestic cricket and try to regain there form.
