What a session. Australia have faced 19.1 overs scoring just 52 runs losing 9 wickets. Yesterday at the end of day 3 Australia was quite good with 63/1 and today the performance from Jadeja is really awesome taking 7 wickets for 42 runs. Today's session is completed by Jadeja and Ashwin. Lets see what India can do now.
Day of Jadeja
12.1/1/42/7 means 12.1 overs, 1 maiden, 42 runs ,7 wickets...
What more could happen in an innings for a Test match.  Collecting 7 wickets against a strong team like Australia for just 42 runs will truly be a record in history. Ravindra Jadeja took 10 wickets in a Test. The day was indeed for Ravindra Jadeja. Australia proved to be a much weaker team and they allowed India a lead of just 114 runs. India will definitely win this match if no other forces work.



In the screenshot above Australia's run machine of 95 runs may have been stopped by an alien and the wicket digits were activated. Four wickets fell for 95 runs. This is where Australia's biggest failure was, they couldn't hold the game in defensive mood during the batting disaster.

Atleast when they weren't able to defend, they should have gone for some big shots. Australia is putting pressure with the spinners and taken the wicket of Rahul. Target is reachable, but we can't predict the outcome. Earlier Australia have defended against India for 93 in the fourth innings in the past.

Nepal is situated in a region where we have 5 test teams, i.e., Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Srilanka and Afghanistan but still there is no presence of Nepal in ICC events. In ICC MEN'S CRICKET WORLD CUP LEAGUE 2, Nepal is at second last place but they were able to beat the top team i.e. Scotland today. This tells the story that Nepal has the potential to play good cricket.
The geographical location is right but they need to produce consistent performance to be able to included among the main teams, Afghanistan earned their position by being the top team in the associate leagues and winning major tournaments and if Nepal can replicate that kind of performance consistently then they can move up the division and compete among the top teams which might actually take a lot of time considering their rankings.
The location is right and the country can have good training sessions. Recently the performance have improved much from Nepal. Earlier it is very hard to see such kind of chase as well first batting score from Nepal. Most of the time the the score won't cross 200 runs. As an user suggested, the consistency in performance over the matches will make big changes in the Nepal cricket team.
1164  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 18, 2023, 04:19:28 PM
LOL... this is definitely not true. Nepal team is 100% comprised of Nepali citizens. Unlike the case with United Arab Emirates and Oman, they don't want to import first class players from India and Pakistan and create a "national" team that doesn't contain any nationals. But this strategy hasn't worked well for them. Over the years, they have lost in major ICC tournaments to teams that are primarily comprised of foreigners. And as a result of this, their fund allocation from the ICC has been reduced to almost nothing.

BTW, some shit is going on with the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. During the last match between Scotland and Nepal, the Scottish players refused to shake hands with Sandeep Lamichhane, who is currently undergoing legal proceedings for rape charges. Lamichhane claims that he was trapped and the charges are false. But the court is yet to announce its verdict and he is out on bail as of now.

Yes, it is true. Nepal is not made up of foreign players like the other teams, UAE, Oman, etc. And that is a very good thing for any team. Nepal is a team that certainly has very good potential. With a little more funding from the ICC, it could have been a better future for Nepal. But we all know that the actual authority, the big four, do not want that to happen. The money is only going to go where they want it to go.

No one in the world actually believes in the phrase, "innocent until proven guilty". People say they believe that. But they do not actually follow that. people that are very quick to judge anyone. From my point of view, it was disrespectful toward Sandeep Lamichhane. If he is proven innocent, how are they going to make it up to him?
Yes, early judgement is not good. Each and every human being is comprised of sin. This is not fair with the Scottish players, it is against the sportsmanship. Nepal is really a good team and their performances were really impressive. In today's match Nepal lost early wicket, but from the one down the players did responsible play and took it to an easy win.

LOL.. after the disappointment with the first test, we have a very competitive match this time. Everything is even stevens, and none of the two teams are at an advantage after the second day of play. Australia had an excellent opportunity to restrict India to somewhere around 150, but then the partnership between Axar and Ashwin pulled things back for India. That said, Australia so far has a nice start to their second innings.
Australia have opened the second innings in a better way. A great pull back from Axar and Ashwin. Once the wickets fell, the innings have come to an end. Nathan Lyon had bowled well taking 5 wickets. Good break through by Todd Murphy who took seven wickets in the first match. As mentioned the match is very competitive, that we can't easily predict the outcome of the match.
1166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More Awareness needed, 100$ or Bitcoin??? on: February 18, 2023, 09:13:25 AM
Came across this video in which a person questions whether they prefer to take 100$ or Bitcoin. The kids never took time, all of the sudden chosen 100$. I'm not specific about the location this had taken place, but it looks like they're are Western people. This makes me think, awareness is not upto the mark and in all means we need to educate people. Even the Western young generation unaware of it is really unbelievable.


These were two young girls, of course they are going to take the cash. Such kind of videos on youtube always involve some kind of money the person gets to be in the videos. It's all about getting cute woman in your video and make a nice thumbnail as click bait. Even if this is fully legit, I would expect that any young girls in this case would always take the cash. The hundred dollar bill they see in front of their face and can touch it, bitcoin is something not physical to them and they might not trust that they actually get it. This video seems to be shot in the city center and the girls could use the money to go shopping straightaway, or buy some drinks with. Would be nice to see the same kind of video, but asking a wider range of people. If they would ask some older man I think the answers would be much different.

If not the person need to ask whether it is bitcoin or $100 with the $100 paper money in one hand and a mobile wallet having bitcoin. Seeing the wallet people will have difference of opinion on bitcoin. There were more and more similar videos available on YouTube. Everyone on the video prefer to take $100. In one video it was the boy who prefers bitcoin, 100$ or Bitcoin??? but the girl is strong to defend and go with $100. It shows there is good awareness among the men than the women about bitcoin.
1167  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: February 18, 2023, 08:57:42 AM
When we're introducing bitcoin to someone who is close to us we need to teach them, and we should request them to analyse and take decision when it comes to buying and selling of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As we've got risk with investments here the risk is high so is the profiting and loss. One need to understand it in the right way and automatically they'll trust it. Going through the charts too a better way to understand the market and trust it.

We are officially f*cked, I don't see if we can top this big deficit.

Trailing 128 runs and not much batting left in the dugout. I really hope Ashin/Axar bail out the Indian team and maybe some contribution from Bharat, if not then we are losing this one as 4th inning would be very tough.

 
It is really hard to score 124 runs with three wickets left. Axar Patel and Ashwin needs to withstand till the score touches 200 runs. Further the scoring could somehow reach around 220 runs. Around 50 runs trailing by the end of the innings is better to keep the hope of winning or ending the match in a draw than losing badly.
If you ask me then it's a very tough job but this pair has all the tools to overcome these hurdles so let's see.

A draw is out of the equation completely as we have 3.5 days left and the way pitch is behaving i reckon this is a 4-day test at best.
The bottom order is doing the best. Axar and Ashwin are once again at their best and took down the trail by runs down to 89 runs. If this pair continues to the perform this way, surely India can reach the first innings score of 263 runs. When the top order failed against the bowlers of Australia, bottom order players are doing well against the bowlers.

In another match New Zealand have almost lost its match as the score have reached 63/5.

On several instances traders have made good profit out of trades in much shorter time period. Most of the time this happens through insider information sharing. Several incidents have taken place and very few have got proven that trades were through insider information. Recently a trader have profited $100k+ in profit in less than an hour. Just before the token (Gains Network) getting launched, the user have bought $208335 worth tokens. At the time of purchase the price was $7.92 and once after the listing price have reached $12.01 giving him big profit. The practice of traders with insider information is termed to be criminal offence.

In the beginning there were not much of altcoins. The altcoins were developed for some reason and they had minimum viable product. Even with such development not everything got success. Altcoins served to be the competence assets. At some point the altcoins developed out of Bitcoin itself mentioned to be real bitcoin. After long discussions bitcoin took its place.

What's the playing XI you guys are expecting for India in tomorrow's 2nd test match of India vs Australia? I am expecting atleast two changes for sure. One is KL Rahul might sit outside and Gill will get a chance to play tomorrow. Secondly I expect even Shreyas Iyer to play tomorrow but honestly it'll be not a good thing for SKY's morale to make him sit outside just after giving one chance so not sure it they'll do this or not. Rest of the team I think should remain exactly the same.
There will be small changes, and the match is going to be very interesting. Losing the first test match, Australia wants to win the match and it'll perform better than the first match. Australia too will have small changes. Match is being played on the New Delhi ground and Australia team players are finding difficulty in getting adopted to the weather condition.

After a long coming across some incident where the team players are being bribed for money making out of match fixing. The players involved have done big mistake money. Now he had ruined his football career. Also the money involved is really big. Also Brazil being a football nation this will surely be disappointment among the football fans.

Hopefully it will be useful website for addicted gamblers who suffer from controlling limits. The more you chase losses, the worse it goes as confirmed by experienced gamblers. Knowing your limits and not pushing your luck may be solution for short time frame but in the long term professional help is needed, IMHO. Thanks for spreading helpful tools on this forum board, it must be nice to know you help strangers who share same problems.
Agreed, this is a must needed service. The service needs to be spread all around. It looks like the service is offered for specific countries. Western nations have got different choices to get out of addiction. However these services finding the right person and treating them is really great. Initially the gambler himself need to have a change and the thinking to correct himself. Only then things will be effective.

Enjoyed a great match. Playing on a target of 176 runs, Multan Sultan scored more than 100 runs without losing any wicket. The required run rate is more than 9 per over. Victory in that match was a bit far away but the chance was really high. But the match was again swinging back and forth towards the end. When finally Mohammad Rizwan returned that moment a fear of losing the match came to Multan Sultan's team. But even though they lost, the difference was only 1 run. The first match of PSL really gave the audience a lot of joy and enthusiasm.
Yes the first match of PSL gave a lot of joy and enthusiasm among the audience. Batting first in the opening match, Multan Sultan collected 174 runs losing 6 wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. Lahore Qalandars entered the field with a target of 175 runs. Lahore lost 6 wickets and collected 175 runs in the scheduled 20 overs. Lahore Qalandars won by only 1 run in this match. Actually the first opening match of PSL was really unusual. It is rare to see such a hard-fought match.
True, the first match itself have given the best feel of watching a T-20 match. Lahore Qalandars winning by just a run is really big when Multan Sultans were able to reach 174 runs. The turn according to me is the run out of Kieron Pollard. Even after that they've managed to score 13 runs. The same over had 3 wickets, what a match to watch.

South Africa women vs New Zealand women
The match was started and South Africa women on the toss and select to batting first. It's been 8.3 over has been finished they score 55 with losing for wickets and their run rate is 6.47.
The run rate has been good so far but after the fall of the last wicket, they seem to be under a bit of pressure. Still, they still have a lot of balls to spare and six wickets to spare.  But New Zealand women are not bad players either but today I am going to take South Africa.
What a shameful performance from the Kiwi's as they lost their second match in a row and lost badly after having amazing performance in bowling they crushed by South African bowlers and not able to have decent score while they were chasing 133 all out on 67 runs which is poor from them after having 76 against Australia in their first match of this event.

With this performance they are out of the event's race for the last four and host having good opportunity even most chances we will have final decision through run rate because Australia could be at the top and then Sri Lanka and South Africa will be having fight for the second spot but here if Sri Lankan's beats New Zealand we can expect their entry into last four as well.
This isn't expected from the New Zealand Women team. The team that did good bowling and restricted South Africa at 132 runs and unable to win is really poor performance. The team hadn't won the match, atleast they could've crossed 100 runs. I'm expecting some unexpected outcomes to happen in the ICC Women World Cup T20.
Before the start of the match, I also thought that the New Zealand women's team is ahead of the South African women's team in terms of strength.  And seeing the score of just 132 I also thought that New Zealand was going to win today. But the poor performance of their batting line-up disappointed me too.
Their both opener's did golden duck it was really expected from them . But the outstanding performance of the South African bowlers really deserves praise. Most of their bowlers take wickets in perfect time and with a good econ. The main reason behind South Africa's victory today is the outstanding performance of their bowlers
At times the home crowd cheering for the host country gives them the power to perform in an unexpected manner. In today's match the crowd too isn't that big to support South Africa. As said it is truly appreciable that the South Africa Women team bowlers did a great job. In the group A the twist for the top two positions have already begun.

I hope one day I can get passive income that is bigger than active income, if that happens of course the best thing I will do is look for other sources of passive income or make passive income bigger, of course it takes time and experience to be able to get passive income income which is equivalent to active income, but by spreading money to many types of investments, we can have the opportunity to get passive income which is bigger than active income.
Yeah it is very hard to make it and it will cost you so many things of course, your sleep your body and your mental health but then we should learn to prioritize ourselves better than anything else because that will be our biggest investment in our life. Right now, in my case I will rest for awhile because I'm burning out and this season makes me tired, I just hope to have that energy again and move forward.
Thats true, keep on earning and at some point we'll have income from three or four streams. Fortunately we won't be healthy enough to enjoy the earning. Such scenario shouldn't happen, so whether it is active income or passive income I prefer to spend and enjoy life at regular interval.

I agree PCB has every right to host tourney in Pakistan but at the same BCCI has valid reservations, which we have discussed countless times. Also visiting Pakistan for Asia Cup will set a new precedent that if India can visit for the Asia cup then why not for Bilateral tours?

I would prefer if they host the tournament without India despite taking a hit on revenue. Also evil BCCI never takes a single penny from the Asia cup so it serves them right that no one has a favorable opinion towards BCCI.
I am also feeling now we need to bring changes as well as they already talk countlessly and India is not coming to play cricket in Pakistan then surely they need to go ahead without them even this could be not profitable, but this is good time for checking this all that can they survive without India in Asia or not if this happens in positive way then surely this could be good for the ACC as well because while next time India wants to host Asia Cup then surely they can also go ahead without Pakistan, and we will have end of this all drama which is creating mess up in ACC.

But, if they have not been minding to play without India then surely they need to go ahead at neutral place and stop this all media drama and other bullshit talk which is not favourable for anyone and just having off the field sentiments, hopefully we will have better decision in near future about this all.
Pakistani cricket and economy are both in limbo
They seem so unstable. I am not sure if there is any way Pakistan is going to be stable again - today I was watching in new that Tim Hortons has their highest sale over 61 years in Lahore. Are the people of Pakistan really poor?
Comparing the sale figure of Tim Hortons with that of the Pakistan's present scenario is unfair. Every country have got poor as well as rich people. The rich always enjoy the luxury, even at the bad economic situation the life style won't be disturbed much. This is the reason Tim Hortons have made history, not because of the people who are striving for a day's meal.
However, it is never possible to understand the overall situation of a country by looking at the life style of the elite class people of a country. Tim Hortons is located where the upper class lives, organizations like Tim Hortons operate in those areas. As far as I know Pakistan is currently going through a major financial crisis. It may take some time for this situation to normalize. Poverty is increasing rapidly.
For Pakistan to recover from the ongoing financial problem it takes years. Already Pakistan isn't good with its economy, the pandemic affected them hard. When the slow progress began the floods and debts got accumulated and weakened the economy. Government mismanagement too a major reason for the prevailing situation in Pakistan. Somehow this hasn't affected the sporting activities within the country. Before things go worse initiative need to be taken to safeguard the country's economy.
1180  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 13, 2023, 06:36:48 AM
The answer is simple  addicted gambler doesn't want to leave game without recovering losses. If you add house edge and other external factors, it makes sense why many gamblers keep losing in the long run.  Unless your friend learns how to manage gambling activity, it will be very bad for him with playing same gambling strategies. I know some friends who lost life savings because of slots owe him a max win, it is endless loop, IMHO.
Running behind the losses to recover them is an endless loop. Very few move on their own track within the limits, majority just loss control and starts to chase the losses. Compared to the past nowadays people borrowing for the purpose of gambling have decreased. Myself used to gamble what I receive as bonus. Today morning received the monthly bonus and now it's emptied.
