2. Sanju Samson doesn't want to bat in those crucial overs when every one knows he is the in form batter.
I freaking hate his guts now, I used to give him benefit of doubts most of time but he fucked up tonight.

He was supposed to take a strike and not rely on a tailender, don't know why he let him play full over and that too crucial 39th over.

Guess he was just playing for records or securing his place in the playing XI.

Exactly the reason why the selectors are not very fond of him. Even as the captain of the Rajasthan Royals, he attracted a lot of criticism for his bias. He insisted on including Riyan Parag over Karun Nair, just because his relation with the latter was not good. Anyway, Samson is just another over-rated guy, just like Siraj and Saini. These guys don't have the capability to guide the team to a win. He really has an attitude problem and his inclusion in the playing XI doesn't do a lot of good to the team bonding.
Well, I still like him as a batter and agreed with the "his attitude" issue but not in context of IPL saga (Riyan Parag vs Karun Nair) as i didn't hear anything about this. I guess it came down to match awareness and you don't expect this sort of thing from any professional cricketer.

Having said that despite all fuckery in the last match I don't buy the notion of fixing, as few here in the thread implying.
Sanju Samson is a able cricketer. There is discussion going around that the previous ODI loss against South Africa is out of fixing. Being the Rajasthan Royals Captain didn't happen by recommendation, but he has been developed on his performance. Many people have personal connect as he resembles the attitude of a neighbour home person.

Right now there is actually no certainty. The way things are going right now I think it will certainly be restricted to some countries in the world. And a lot of big countries are not interested in cricket at all. And a lot of people think that cricket being time-consuming is one of the biggest reasons for that. I agree with that but I also think another reason why cricket is not popular is that ICC does not push the game to be popular. And the funding always seems to be unfair to the associate Nations. This is going to be funny to hear but ICC is racist the way they are found in the associate Nations. I am not saying that the associate Nations should be funded like India or Australia I am just saying that they should be funded well enough to improve.

When Srinivasan was the chairman of the ICC, he infamously proposed to reduce associate funding to zero. Finally a compromise was reached, and it was reduced from $56.25 million per year to just $20 million per year. If that was not enough, the changes to eligibility criteria made it more difficult for teams such as Thailand to receive ICC funding. Now majority of the funding goes to teams such as Oman, which are fully comprised of non-citizens. I am curious about the next funding cycle for 2024-31. Not expecting much, though.
Seems to better not to provide such fund in the country where the cricket team is organized with non-citizens. Especially in several countries like UAE or Oman. This trend has started which is a big threat for cricket in some cases for the future. I think if ICC bans this kind of practice completely then something good can be expected from them.
I don't know how far this has affected cricket. Just think of yourself getting immigrated into another country. After spending specific number of years, you'll be given support from the government in all needs same as the country's native citizen. Here also the players have got support and playing for those countries. I don't find anything wrong and degrading cricket.

Increase in the usage of energy on Bitcoin mining keeps decreasing as a result of advanced high efficiency miners. Same time banking industry follow the same old form of banking where we need to pass through a stream of process. To pass these stream of process few intermediary need to work on it. This leads to the increased energy consumption.

In reality they're green and the Bitcoin is mentioned as functioning against the environment. Maybe similar things will make the traditional banking networks think about it and improve their efficiency.

The last time MD. Shiraz played in a T20 match was in February this year and today he was simply dominating the batter. I would simply say it is a good comeback. I don't know whether India will win this match but I know one thing, this Indian side with everyone playing would be difficult to ignore.
The pitch is good to score runs but Rohit Sharma is gone for zero and it is a difficult task if they loose wickets like this, but it will be interesting how Rishabh Pant will perform in this match as i do not think he should be in the team in T20.
The ground is small and it is also a reason why the team is considered to be the scoring pitch. India have lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma and Shreyas. Rishabh and Dinesh Karthik on the crease need to perform and maintain the required run rate. Anyhow this match is going to be tough for India.

After the huge 2-1 road win to Southampton $20 Everton Cash Drop was availed with the total drop limit of $25000. This time the wager requirement is low, $2500 wagered in the last 7 days and I missed it even though I fulfilled all requirements. How many of you got lucky to claim the bonus.



I was one of the lucky 1250 users who claimed the drop code, I could claim it fast because I was playing when they drop the code and I can copy the code easily from my telegram desktop.

This time users who are playing while the drop is being broadcast. Also the wager required to claim seems to be low that of the $5 bonus provided for NFL and other events. For those $5 claim itself there is a need of $7000 wagered in the last 7 days. Nowadays quite often bonus drops were taking place.

Stan Wawrinka lost today against Mannarino two sets to one after winning the first one 6-1, I think the age factor is showing, It is a matter of time he retires, even when he was at his top of his career his cardio was not really impressive, now Grand Slams would be a real challenge for him, if he gets to play in some of them he will be eliminated in the first rounds.
These days many matches ends up with unexpected results. In the match between Wawrinka and Mannarino, it is Wawrinka to win the match. Even the first set confirmed it,but Mannarino made a big comeback winning the second and third sets. As said age factor really matters and very few were able to stay high amidst their age.

India women vs Malaysia women T20 Asia cup match has been started Malaysian women team select bowling first. The starting of india looks good after 3over the run rate is over 7 and they are now in 22. Recently Indian girls' performance were satisfied and looking at Malaysian team there wasn't that much capable players who can beat India so I will choose india in this match for my betting.
India women's team won by 30 runs in DSL method. But even if the game had been completed I think India Women's team would have won. Because with a target of 181 runs, it would have been difficult for Malaysia women's cricket team to win, where they lost 2 wickets for 16 runs.

In both cases, it is indian team who would have won and this is what matters.  Smiley India Women's team is a stronger team and I won't be surprised if they reach the knockout stages (Semi-finals) of the tournament and even play the final.
Although it is very early in the tournament however both India and Pakistan have won their first two matches and are at the top of the table.
If the entire innings have got over, India will win for sure. With the DLS method too India have won the match. If Malaysia have made good run rate without losing wickets in its beginning overs it could've got an opportunity to make a win. Similar scenarios have happened in men's cricket.

this is quite a strange behavior. first of all this case is of a girl and she is really silly to risk her son just to gamble. but my question is if she doesn't have a husband I mean this can be prevented if she has a husband. if a woman does this I think she is a prostitute with a wild life in the outdoors. Gambling addiction can indeed cause something that is beyond normal people's understanding like this case.
Thats a wrong perception, because she doesn't have her husband we can't mark her as a prostitute. Life is different for different people and we don't know in what situation she went on collateral with her son. What she did is wrong and she needs support mentally and financially that is what I understood.

Looks like the results are pretty much clear people at this point. India is about to win comfortably against South Africa while Pakistan is about to get decimated by England. Both finals being played on the same day turned out to be an awesome coincidence.

India and England are heading in strong for the upcoming T-20 World Cup while Pakistan and South Africa need to reanalyse their game plans asap.
Just like you predicted, England won the final match and the series, the difference between the series between India and South Africa and Pakistan and England is that, one team won the home series pretty comfortably with one match to go and Pakistan lost their home series which is not a good confidence booster going to the T20 World Cup while England and India are peaking at the right time.
In the match between India and South Africa, look at the scoring. India took 237 runs losing 3 wickets. South Africa missed it by a small margin. On the other match England have gone to 209 runs losing 3 wickets. Pakistan failed to get closer which makes me believe that upcoming T20 World Cup is going to be very interesting that we can see scores coming up 200+ in most matches.

Atleast after this incident fans should understand football is a sports and we need to give the support to the player and have the mind to accept loss and winning. Whether the team win/fail the supporters should back the team. This will keep the team boosted and make them do better for their fans.

A tweet mentioned in one of the post says different people go for bitcoin buying for different reasons. What that person have stated as the reason is really interesting.

"I buy Bitcoin, because I want humanity to return to a sound global reserve currency"

People get into bitcoin for different reasons to buy and the same will let people buy at some specific prices. So, whether it is right for investment is one's own thought.

It looks like someone is trying to push the altcoin market. For now the market haven't taken a big move with the altcoins. The market dominance of bitcoin stays strong and rest of the altcoins are following the market movement of bitcoin. At times there is small variation with bitcoin going red and altcoins on the green signal. This is not the indication for altcoin season.

Unlike the market and the altcoinseason it is good to invest on the top altcoins of the market. Those altcoins have got proven track record reaching big when the market is bullish.

As far as i know these GCC countries are not scouting players from other countries but rather they are in the team because they migrated to that country searching for a job and then end up playing Cricket and then getting including in the national team by building a career playing club Cricket.
Most players of the GCC teams were from Asian countries, particularly from Pakistan and India. They've migrated into GCC countries for job and professional career, by some reason few have ended up playing cricket. If the GCC countries specific boards were quite comfortable with it. So, this is no more an issue.

Sometimes you basically depend on the age bracket and how long it participants in a fight will determine it's wining, Anderson Silva (47 years old) and it may be that it has not lost it weight of fighting, but people in another means of understanding will directly like Anderson Silva because of it's age and the high odds also. Why people will not to give Jake paul 27 years old as amateur or newbies in fighting, and they will not like to choose.

Agreed, age will surely be a point while choosing the odds. When the age comparison is made, we should also make the performance and the experience comparison. Jake Paul is just a beginner when considered against Anderson Silva. This makes majority of the people bet on Anderson Silva. These are truly not the real fight that we enjoy, just hyped ones.

Argentina extended its 35 winning streak with a 3-0 over Jamaica on its preparations for the Qatar World Cup. Argentina is now unbeaten since 2019. I am getting more optimistic for Lionel Messi on his chances of winning a World Cup. This is Messi's last World Cup appearance together with his archrival Christiano Ronaldo but I have doubts on Portugal's ability to win. Argentina is in better position. It is top 3 favorite along with England, behind Brazil and France.

There is no stopping Argentina, they're the best team in the world. A perfect win streak from a solid team. I'm really excited about the coach's tactics, and we're all happy to see the team playing so well. An agreement has been reached with Lionel Scaloni, the head coach of the Argentina team, to extend his contract until June 2026. As a result of his tremendous work with the team, he deserves this award. Lionel Scaloni, thank you so much for your hard work. As long as he is in charge, Argentina will have a good chance of becoming World Cup champion this year.
Argentina's team is now very strong. Everyone in their team is very confident to do well. The team is unbeaten in 35 matches so far. It is a great achievement for them. The team is fully prepared for the upcoming World Cup, everyone is hoping that they will do well this time. Besides, Messi, one of the best players in the world, is performing well in that team.
So far Argentina have performed good making big achievements. Argentina and Brazil have got good chance of winning the match. This time Argentina is with less pressure, and the same will help the players have good focus. Also, legendary player into the team and unable to win a world cup will make the players give the best.

Welcome to bitcointalk forum Punt Casino!
I don't know if you have any connection with other casino that have same name, but you should try to clarify this if you can.
There is man with sports shirt on your website so do you have plan to add sports betting markets or you are focusing only on casino matches?
Looking upon the giveaway and the road to Qatar promotion it looks like they're planning to get into sports betting at the earliest. I misunderstood this platform with another one, and thought now they're making an re-entry. Later going through the gambling section saw the other platform. Does "Punt" have got any specific meaning.

Finally with good performance from every team the UEFA Nations League for this year have come to an end. The next set of games were scheduled to take place during the month of june 2023. This time every match is close and nothing can be said a one sided game. Also more unexpected results have come out of the matches. Even in the last match more people expected win from Portugal, and the last minute miracle changed everything.

england seem like winning the game - earlier they did not do good.
But now they need 20 runs. Pakistan in trouble.
Seems like England is going to win

Even with Moen Ali on the crease England wasn't able to win the match. Finally Pakistan leads the series 3-2 with the 6 runs win in this match. Pakistan bowlers continued to break partnership at regular intervals from the beginning. In between England gained momentum, but they weren't able to keep it up till the end of the match.

When the plan is for long term profiting, it is good to hold unlike the market situation. For short term profiting it is good to sell and wait for the lower price to buy further. For now the price of ethereum is predicted to reach its recent down value of around $900.

There is market prediction of upward/downward movement once after the transition from POW to POS. Now it have declined and the recovery will happen for sure. We need the patience to experience the bullish move of ethereum.
