Australia dominating performance at the end of day 1 scored 166 runs loss of 3 wickets in 66 overs. Australia bastmen Marnus Labuschagne is playing at 44 runs not out and travis Head is playing at 9 runs. Pakistani bowlers Salman ali agha picked 1 important wicktes of David Warner and Hassan alo also picked 1 crucial wicket of Usman khawaja who is playing well and out in 42 runs, just missed his half century by 8 runs short. Pakistan bowlers didn't perform well only picked 3 wickets and dropped catches would helped Australia to set a big total in 1st innings of second test match.
On the first day has been finished of Pakistan & Australia's second test match, and on this day the Pakistani bowling speed was unbearable, what a bowling done by Aamir Jamal, Hasan Ali, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, by the way, this type of bowling that Pakistan did was just like a Naseem Shah that he did in the World Cup final of 2022 against England when the world-class batsmen were on strike Ben Stokes and Buttler. Both batsmen could play any ball of Naseem Shah, what an outswing and in-swing did by him. |

Everyone has different abilities in terms of controlling themselves, but I'm sure everyone can recover completely from gambling addiction, but it looks like it's being exaggerated and made very complicated, even though in fact it can be forced to recover, but maybe there are people who does not have the ability to force himself to stop completely, so we cannot generalize to ourselves who might be able to control it.
You need to have strong self-control over yourself if you want to recover from gambling addiction. It is not as easy to get rid of this gambling addiction as it seems. That is the reason we call it an "Addiction", meaning it's something hard to get rid of. Anyways if anyone is able to control his addiction, he must be very willing to get rid of this, otherwise most gamblers won't even agree that they are addicted to it. I also think people should feel confident that they can stop their bad habits by looking at other people, planting words in their minds like "if other people can why can't I", I think by motivating and pressuring yourself anyone can definitely do it. stop gambling and the most important thing is also about how we cultivate a mindset that must be more positive when gambling.  Again this motivation does not exist among everyone. Most people are demotivated because of their financial issues and other people are in need of money and therefore they come to gamble to change their lives. When they lose, they can't afford to lose and therefore they gamble more in order to recover the losses. All these things trigger the gambling addiction among them and for sure, it is hard to cure. |

India is slowly recovering, thanks to the partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli. South Africa went with an all seam attack (Gerald Coetzee, Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger and Marco Jansen). This was the right thing to do and the strategy was validated when they got India at 24/3. Good news for the Indian pacers is that the pitch at SuperSport Park in Centurion seems to be offering a lot of support for pace bowling. Prasidh Krishna is making his test debut today, while Nandre Burger and David Bedingham are debuting from the other side. And also, we have Keegan Petersen playing his first test after almost one year interval.
The great thing for the Indian group is that Virat Kohli is batting against South African bowlers and he can make some runs that help India to win, and if Virat Kohli and Sheryas Lyer had a success in building a huge partnership so they could easily win but if they don't make a partnership or one more wicket hit so Indian winning chances has been too low. Virat Kohli and Sheryas Lyer play too much slowly which is good for standing and partnership in the ground for a long time. Let's see will they stand for a long time in the ground or not. |

MELBOURNE has played the first betting and give a target of 184 scores and second live match has been started in which Hobart has 96 runs, one player is out in 10 overs. According to present conditions of match I think Hobart will win the match because 88 runs are requires in 60 balls. Mathew played well and attained 69 runs and still his betting is start.
In today game, Hobart Hurricanes team get a chance for decide bat or bowl and Hobart Hurricanes chose field first. Melbourne Renegades team set 183 target by losing 5 wickets but this team failed to protect target and lost this game by 6 balls and 6 wickets. M.Wadw batsman scored 83 runs in 50 balls and he hitted nine 4s and three 6s. He dismissed from pitch by K.Richardson. M.Wright batsman scored 63 balls in 36 balls and he hitted five 4s and five 6s and this batman also dismissed and showed brilliant effort in batting. One more game was concluded today and Sidney Thunder won this game by 5 wickets and 10 balls left. Sophie Oldershaw took just one wicket which was the wicket of KG Anderson, and this is a huge wicket because she was out early otherwise she could have done something that couldn't be saved by Otago so that's why this is very good that she out early, she just played four overs and then she was out and she also made 24 runs. That was the first wicket that was taken by Otago and this wicket fell on 6.3 overs when her team run was 33. The wicket of her is very important. |

Appears Jaiswal and Rohit will open for India today, Jaiswal usually plays aggressive let's see what's his tempo in tests. Dunno if it's already mentioned but Gaikwad was ruled out of series due to finger injury and Abhimanyu Easwaran has replaced him.
India are struggling in the first test match at Centurion against the South African. They have lost 3 wickets for 58 runs. None of the top order batsmen was able to make any good runs. The good news for the Indian team is that Virat Kohli is still at the crease and batting on 19. He needs to play a big innings along with Shreyas Ilyas and other batsmen to come, if India needs to give a reasonable total. In case, they lost one or more quick wickets, then India team may be all out under 200 runs and from this situation it will be hard for the them to recover in this test match. Still a lot more time to go in the test though. |

Today's match South African women batsmen played very well. They work hard and struggle and strive. And there are runs. This team is working so hard. That they do not have a single player out yet. In today match Bangladeshi bowlers are not showing hard work and struggle. If they work hard they can control the South African batsmen. If the South African batsmen play like this Bangladesh will lose today match. Bangladesh team will have to make some changes in today match. If they don't the South African team will lose the match to them by a huge margin.If the Bangladesh batsmen work hard and struggle then maybe the match can be somewhat acceptable otherwise it is a loss for Bangladesh.South African batsmen are playing very well today. And if they play like this Bangladesh will be out of this series. That will be South Africa success.
The match of South African women and Bangladeshi women was won by South African women, and in this match what bowling did by South African women's team. They didn't give any opportunity to the Bangladesh women's team to make runs and they all out the team of Bangladesh on just 100 runs. Bangladesh women by chance created 100 runs otherwise South African bowlers bowling like this is a final match. Anyway, after this match South African women's team won this ODI series 2-1. They made 100 in 31 overs means they made 100 runs in 186 balls. Bangladeshi Women's International cricket team can't face South African Women International cricket team. South African cricket team played very well and they gave an excellent target of 317 runs. Especially, Tazmin Brits played very well in this match and she made a century for his country and that's why South African Women cricket team won easily. Wolvaardt also made century for his country and she made 126 runs in 134 balls.Kapp made an excellent bowling and she took 2 Wickets by giving only 21 runs and Khala took 3 wickets by giving 15 runs in 6 overs. 3 rd game was concluded few days ago and this game, South Africa-W team won this last game with big margin or runs. South Africa-W team won toss and they elected to bat first. South Africa-W team set 316 runs in 50 overs by losing 5 wickets. This target was very big and also now a easy target for any team. Bangladesh-W team was not chase down this big target and did not face South Africa-W team. Bangladesh-W team scored 100 runs only and entire teams bowled out. A Khaka bowler showed brilliant effort and took down 3 wickets in 16 overs with 15 runs. One more bowler N.de Klerk also dismissed 3 wickets in 5.1 overs with 10. After this game, this series ended and South Africa-W team won this competition. The T20 match between Canterbury Women and Otago Women was won by Otago Women, and Canterbury Women played well they deserved to win, and I know that they didn't play special but it is good in women's cricket. Anyway, Canterbury Women stay until the last ball but they can't win. Otago women won by 3 wickets. Otago Women chased the target in the loss of 7 wickets and Canterbury Women gave the target by lossing of 6 wickets. This is a 5th match of Super Smash Women that has been won by Canterbury Women. |

Pakistan bowlers were in great momentum, and if there was no rain interruption, then they would have probably taken a few more wickets. And also, two out of form batsmen are at the crease now - Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith. The break will give them time to get adjusted and to prepare their strategy against the Pakistani pacers. And rain came at a time when two of the young pacers were bowling beautifully - Mir Hamza and Aamer Jamal. So far these guys are bowling so well, that the absence of Khurram Shahzad is not being felt.
Australians are today slow in scoring runs. In 58 overs they have scored 158 runs with scoring rate of 2.8 runs per over. After losing 2 quick wickets, there is 50 runs partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Smith which just got broken. Pakistani bowlers are getting wickets but they should keep an eye on runs. With this rate, Australians may be able to score 300+ runs which wont be easy to chase. Shaheen Shah is wicket less so far and this is not a good sign for Pakistan. The test match of Australia and Pakistan was started with a long time and right now, and Pakistan team is playing well but also Australian players played very well. Australian players make runs fast, and Pakistan's bowling is also very well but Shaheen Shah Afridi didn't took any wicket, and he also cannot pick a good speed, actually, his one knee is injured and due to this injury he cannot run faster he took the burden on both knees but cannot touch a huge speed. He should need rest from this test series but let's see what happen. |

Many users are guessing that it will be the 2nd monthly bonus since Primedice has sent the 2nd monthy bonus already, so high possibility that there will be 2nd monthly bonus as well in Stake. I do not hope too much if it will be 2nd monthly bonus because I wagered so low amount this month, I'm not even eligible for the Christmas bonus drop yesterday LOL. How if it will not be a 2nd monthly bonus? Any idea what it would be as alternative if there will be no 2nd monthly bonus? Let's keep our fingers crossed and since we do not know what will be the announcement, it will not let me sleep properly today as I can't wait to see the announcement scheduled for tomorrow.

Nepal Pro Club Championship 2023:
Total two matches of this competition was completed today, first match was fought between Wonders Club Noida squad and Armed Police Force Club squad and second match was played Uttar Pradesh Club XI sqaud against Nepal Army Club squad. Second mat h of this competition was not too much entertaining and suspenseful between squads because Nepal Army Club sqaud was easily emerged victory and Uttar Pradesh Club XI could not achieve 132 scores. But in first match, Armed Police Force Club squad made a good defending target scores 144 and they did not defend their target from Wonders Club Noida sqaud and lost this match.
The team of United Arab Emirates didn't play like they wanted to chase the target that was given by Afghanistan to the United Arab Emirates. All the players of the UAE couldn't make a huge runs, everyone lost their wickets on just some runs like 2, 5, 7, and maximum nine but only the one player made some runs whose name is Dhruv Parashar. He made good runs when other team players could not touch at least 10 runs otherwise these runs were also very poor. He made 38 runs while he played 61 balls. |

2 big tests incoming. Pakistan will look to take revenge in the second test against Australia on their home turf though their chances don't really look good. On the other hand, South Africa and India will kick off their test series.
Truly sucks that all of these teams need to play during the Christmas - New Year week which is the biggest festive week of the year.
Tomorrow is the second test match of Pakistan and Australia, and this match will be set to play in Melbourne, and if we remember that when the Pakistan team played in Melbourne so what happened? The Pakistan team played their last match in Melbourne in 2022 where the T20 2022 World Cup final was played against England, and unfortunately for Pakistan team, they lost, In that World Cup, Pakistan struggled to come in the final, and the Netherlands helped Pakistan to qualify in the Semi-Final and Pakistan won Semi Final against New Zealand but they cannot win final That's History now. Although the past matches, do not matter much, but we cannot deny the history. Also recently, the Pakistan team lost badly against Australia and this may be another red flag for them and they need to focus more. |

The tour match was started from a long time and at this time, we cannot say which team will win but maybe I think that the Afghanistan team will win because UAE's batting is not like something to worry about and they cannot face the bowlers of Afghanistan like Abdul Rahman and many more, Rashid Khan and Fazal al Farooqi and Naveen Ul Haq didn't play this match. In this match, they gave a chance to youngsters to perform a particular performance.
Hashmatullah Shahidi is the captain of the team, and by the way, this is the only match that plays at Christmas.
Afghanistan last batting pair is on the crease. After 47 overs they have scored 214 runs and I think UAE has done a good job to restrict Afghans to such a low total. UAE team is made up of players from South Asia and they have tendency to chase such a small target. Though UAE recently finished second in U-19 Asia cup, it wont make any difference to there domestic setup as there is no interest of cricket in locals and there cricket team is entirely made up of expats. At this time, United Arab Emirates one wicket is left and now there are very close to losing this match. They made 104 runs and lost 9 wickets, such a poor performance by them. The 6 wickets fell to the Afghanistan team, and first, Riaz Hassan lost their wicket in 2.4 overs which was the first out and when he was out his team's run was 16. Second, Mohammad Ishaq lost their wicket in 7.6 overs which was the second wicket, and when he was out his team's runs were 46. Third, Rahmat Shah was out in 20.6 overs which was the third wicket and when he was out his team runs were 119. So, that was a situation of the top-order, The openers didn't play too much but Rahmat Shah played very well. |

Big Bash League:
Hobart hurricans won the toss and first decided bowling. Melbourne renegades batsman makes 1 run in 1 over and Hobart hurricans no any wicket against Melbourne renegades. This is no good started for melbourne renegades batsman. Hobart hurricans bowler out the Melbourne renegades batsman in the fourth ball of the 8 over. This is the first achievement for Hobart hurricanes team. And the next ball once time again Hobart hurricans bowler out the Melbourne renegades batsman. This is the second achievement for Hobart hurricanes team. Melbourne renegades batsman makes 83 run in 10 over and 3 outs. Melbourne renegades batsman could effort and struggle. Melbourne renegades batsman makes 183 run in 20 over and 5 outs. This is the target for Hobart hurricanes Batsman. This is the good target. Hobart hurricans batsman can complete this target and won the match.
What an unfortunate for Melbourne Renegades, 183 is such a good score that could be defended in easy manner. All batsmens hardworking goes for vain. Methew Wade completely smash the bolwers and steal victory from Renegades. First wickets fell in first over and then a Methew wade magic bat start smashing to pump the run rate like btc journey to touch All time high. Southerland remain a expensive bolwey with 0 wickets change the sentiment of the match. I also appreciate the struggle of Hobart Hurricanes in batting inning and due to impressive performance, Hobart Hurricanes squad emerged victory in match against Melbourne Renegades squad. I also sad for Melbourne Renegades squad because they lost this match very badly in last two overs Hobart Hurricanes needed 13 scores in 12 deliveries mean 2 overs but they did not stop Hobart Hurricanes to defend this remaining target and Hobart Hurricanes squad emerged victory with 6 batters also 6 deliveries. If Melbourne Renegades squad put some more struggle in bowling inning then they will get a victory in this match. The match between Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates is in progress, and now after 14 overs, the first innings will be finished, and the United Arab Emirates bowlers played very well. Muhammad Zuhaib took 2 wickets from UAE. He plays very well. At this time, he did not do any no-ball or wide ball. He did seven overs and in these seven overs, he gave just 22 runs while taking 2 wickets. He took the wicket of Rahmat Shah and the captain of Afghanistan Hashmatullah Shahidi. He took Rahmat Shah's wicket on 20.6 overs and Hashmatullah Shahidi was out after 4 overs of Rahmat Shah in 24.4overs. |

Now it's time for them to think about this all and create better environment which will help to increase quality and performance of players in all formats, otherwise having better ranking than teams like Afghanistan and West Indies is never good.

Tomorrow is the first match of United Arab Emirates vs Afghanistan, this is a match like an exhibition match meanwhile this is a tour match that will be played tomorrow in Sharjah stadium, This stadium is not lucky for Afghanistan because when Afghanistan played there last time so Afghanistan team and players gave a very bad impression to Sharjah because that was the match against Pakistan in 2022 Asia Cup, and Afghanistan was almost won the match, Fazal al Frooqi fight with Asif Ali and Asif Ali showed him bat and then Naseem Shah came, Naseem Shah was on strike when Fazal Al Frooqi bowling for the last over and on last over Pakistan needs 12 runs in 6 balls and all the people of Pakistan lost their hopes that we can win but Naseem Shah hit back to back to sixes that led Pakistan to the win, and after that, Naseem Shah did the wonderful celebration, and then Afghani peoples that present on that time in the ground broken chairs and starting aggression but they forget that they are present in United Arab Emirates and United Arab Emirates rule is very strict so United Arab Emirates government cancel their license to come in United Arab Emirates again. |

It might be in the ethics of gambling that the owners and workers don't gamble, I wouldn't know the reason why, but I'm guessing that they know the implications of being addicted in gambling, perhaps they'd rather have their customers do the gamble and be addicted while they can be more focused on collecting the money. I have a friend that worked in a sports bet company, he told me that as workers that they're not permitted to bet, I asked him why and he replied that it's the instruction that they're given. He also told me that if they want to bet, that they do so through a second party, so I concluded that bet and casino companies knows that loses are greater than winnings and they don't want themselves or their employees to be distracted, in the case of loses that'll affect their work. Having your own casino business is more profitable for casino owners because they can make a lot of money. We know that this gambling business is a big business that can provide big profits for the owner. A casino worker is not allowed to gamble at the casino where he works. But maybe that is an exception for the casino owner, especially if it is an online casino because the owner can create a new account for himself to gamble so that no one knows that he is also gambling at his own casino. And there is a possibility that casino owners will visit other casinos to gamble. This will be even easier if it is an online casino because the casino owner can gamble at any online casino without anyone knowing that he is a casino owner. But if it was an offline casino, there's a chance some workers from other casinos would recognize him. It seems to me that big business owners, which I include casinos, can get dopamine even without gambling. When you see your bank account balance increasing on your monitor screen every day, you hardly need this kind of entertainment. You are constantly in an elevated and euphoric mood. I think such people have more pleasant options for spending their leisure time. Such people know the value of money and use its value as much as possible. We need to know why we bet or why people bet and the main reason is that people want to win the bet and gain money. The gambling casino onwers are rich already and they do not need to bet in order to win and earn money. They are already earning good through the betting site, they do not need to go to another site and bet. Betting is risky and not as profitable as being a bookie or owning a gambling casino site. In my point of view, the betting site onwers may not gamble themselves but provide the services. |

^^ I didn't hear anything regarding this on Twitter handle I follow for cricket updates so searched it up and all these site's headlines are like this:
Will Hardik Pandya miss ipl 2024?
Rohit Sharma may captain MI as uncertainity looms over Pandya's return.
Hardik Pandya unlikely to play ipl 2024
Hardik Pandya doubtful for IPL 2024
Pandya uncertain for ipl 2024
There is no confidence in this statements, I would ignore such news.
I do not believe in such news too but if this is not true then still what is the purpose of spreading these rumours? It will not have any impact on any team and also not on Hardik Pandya but still, it could be the fact that he may not play for any medical or whatever reasons. By the way, one player is not over the tournament and there will be people replacing him and also performing as good as like him. |

1. Pathological optimism.
What we should call this type of optimism where a person is seeing and experiencing loses over and over again but his hope of gaining money and becoming rich does not end  Is this a sign of any disease of mental disorder, i do not know because i do not come across any such study where the medical personals can give any statement of this state of mind. Unfortunately, gambling addiction is not considered a disease or a mental disorder and we only blame the gambler for not being responsible. Who knows that gambling addiction is a disease and it needs treatment to be cured just like other medical problems? |
