Good strong batting displayed the Australian team on the first day. I won't say Indian bowlers bowled bad. Australia played really well. Usman Khawaja is on the driving seat and Green is just giving him the support he needs.
Day 1 goes in favour of Australia. Day 2 might help the Indian side. The magic of Ashwin and Jadeja did not work today. Although Shami was good but Umesh Yadav did not get any wickets. I think Rohit should have given these two more overs rather than completely relying on the spinners.

Great job! @Vaskiy. A seperate thread for WPL was needed. I am not sure why no one was aware of this thread. I would recommend you to send DM to all those members whom you see active on the other T20 thread to come here and discuss about WPL matches. Already WPL has started with a bang and many members are actively discussing about it. I would do that from now onwards.

Another 200+ game. Wow. These ladies are seriously delivering some great games right at the beginning of the tournament. RCB looks like they might chase down the target since they still have players like Perry etc who can bat well.
Also, I just noticed the new DRS rule regarding wides and no-balls which is an excellent call by the BCCI.
The women RCB team like their men counterpart is also jinxed. Whatever they do on the field doesn't help them to win matches. On paper both men and women team look absolutely brilliant but on field they struggle. I am not sure what is wrong with this team. I thought first that they would easily set a target of 200+ runs but unfortunately they could not. 190 was still a competitive target but RCB bowlers were very ineffective against Giants batters especially Sophia. |

I am suprised once again that after winning the toss NZ decided to bowl first. I am not sure what strategy are being implemented by the team management. The start that Srilanka got surely states that NZ tactics did not go as planned. Srilanka has only lost 3 wickets scored 190+ runs and would easily score 300+ by the end of day 1. If they don't lose wickets in quick succession.
The last test match of BGT would start today. I am pretty much excited for it. Australia after a change of captainship has played exceptionally well in the last test matche. They know that India would try to give their 100 percent in order to win this match and qualify for the test world cup. I am sure they would try their level best to stop India. The big problem with India has been unreliable batting. If they are able to work on it then it would be very hard for Australia to defeat India.

I think you're stretching this too much. Successfully converting a fake fiat into a CBDC doesn't destroy the WHOLE purpose of the digital currency. If I'm to use the same logic then it's like saying that the purpose of a bank is completely ruined if a counterfeit manages to enter their safe or vault. It doesn't stop these banks from operating since there are still security measures in place to prevent it from happening or procedures to minimize the effect of such blunder.
The purpose of banks is questionable from the day they came into existence. What OP said is correct, the purpose of CBDC is to simply create an environment that is suitable to again to gain confidence and provide financial stability among local citizens. While there are many potential options for designing and implementing a CBDC, one important consideration that spans all the approaches is security. Like cash and conventional electronic payment systems, security considerations for a CBDC include the prevention of counterfeiting, fraud, and double spending. Given the likely importance of a CBDC to a jurisdiction's financial system and broader economy, other security considerations include anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, consumer protection, and financial stability.
I am quoting the above from the link shared by OP. CBDC is compared with Bitcoin by governments around the world with their local population as the best option against Bitcoin. The best they can say it is supported by the chosen government (as per democracy). As per my understanding, CBDC is nothing more than a local fiat currency with lots of loopholes. Whereas Bitcoin does not have those loopholes. |

On the other hand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Ireland have not qualified so far, but Sri Lanka, South Africa, West Indies have to play qualifier matches to qualify them.
Out of the teams that are yet to qualify I have serious doubts about WI. I do not see any issue of Srilanka getting qualified or South Africa but WI has already played the required quota of matches. The fight would be between Srilanka and South Africa and in the end, it will all depend on the NRR for both these teams. It would be interesting to watch which of these two teams will qualify for the world cup. |

I have not encountered such an issue as I tend to keep my eyes fixed on the number of zeros I enter whenever I am using Bitcoin. I personally tend to prefer either DOGE or TRX for placing any bets. It is unusual in my opinion to make such a mistake. Losing a bet is a different thing but accidentally placing more than you wanted to is just carelessness. Next time keep your mind free and stay calm before placing any bets.

^^ Australia always gives a tough fight tho, although in my recent memory, 2017 series in India was more competitive as most of the matches were tight, that's why no one takes them lightly.
Considering India's record at home, Australia would take a 2-2 result gladly and can claim the victory, rightly so. For 2-2 Australia need to play their A-game again and hope India plays a shitty one like the last match.
In a span of 10 years, the Indian test team has only lost 3 test matches when played on home ground. A single loss cannot over shadows their excellent performance as a test team. I am confident that they will come back strong and overcome all the issues the batting lineup has been facing in the past three matches. I would say that the team management could have promoted Axar Patel up the order in the previous match above Ashwin as he has proven in this tournament that he can score good runs. Keeping him down the order only increases the pressure when the top and middle order collapse. Australia would be happy with any result they know that the real test is not the BGT but the test world cup. They have already qualified for it and I am sure they would not be as competitive as they were in the third test. That does not mean that they would give a tough fight to India. That means the pressure would be on Rohit and his team to get into the final of the ICC events. |

Bangladesh had already qualified for the ODIWC. I am not sure why there is so much fuss about them losing the ODI series at home. They are currently ranked above Pakistan on the qualification points table after winning the last match against England because of NRR.
In comparison they are far better than Australia & Pakistan. Bilateral series doesn't make a big difference. In the end what matters the most is how well you can play in an ICC tournament. I am pretty much confident that this Bangladesh team will play much better than many big teams in the ODIWC.

^^^ I don't know who will win the 4th and final test match. But one thing is sure. The series has become alive after lop-sided matches during the first two tests. Australia will be having the momentum, after their huge 9-wicket victory at Indore. And the Indian curators will be confused. If they prepare a pitch that supports spin, then Australia have Nathan Lyon, Matthew Kuhnemann and Todd Murphy in their lineup and may trouble the Indian batsmen. If they prepare a flat track, then there is a good chance that the match will end up as a draw. And by some chance if they make the track pace-friendly, then Starc and Boland will destroy the Indians.
Undoubtedly you are underestimating the Indian side just because they lost the third test match. I am pretty much sure the Australian side would be thinking in the same manner  . They did that before the series even started and lost two matches back to back. Just hold your horses before coming into any conclusion. You will get all your answers when the last test match of this tournament start. |

Mandana was bought at a very high price due to her agressive batting ability in T20 format but it seems her performance in the WPL has been below average. I understand once in a while batters struggle to get into form but losing the form in a tournament that pays you better than your cricket board doesn't looks good in the long run. Considering RCB team management for both men & women I don't think it will affect her that much but it might affect her standing in the national team.
Congratulations Haley Matthews on becoming the first orange cap holder in Women Premier League. 47 runs in just 31 balls against GGT and then yesterday she scored 77 runs in just 38 balls. She also took 3 wickets & gave 28 runs. What a tournament this has been for her.

The second T20 match in the WPL yesterday against Giant and Warriorz was pretty close. Warriorz won because of incredible batting by Grace Harris, she made 59 in just 26 balls. The target given by Giants was not that bad. It was competitive for the Giants to win as Warriorz with just 1 ball left. Such close-finish matches are what make league cricket worth watching.

Bharat didn't do anything special with the bat but it's also true for every top order batter in the team and he hardly made any mistakes behind the wickets if we neglect the few DRS calls.
So i believe they'll go with Bharat again as he's superior WK when compared to Kishan. I'd still prefer spin tracks.
Bharat is far better than Ishan Kishan behind the stumps. I also agree that his batting hasn't been up to the mark but replacing him for just that reason doesn't make any sense. Recently KL Rahul was replaced by Shubhman Gill considering his present form but the outcome is still not satisfactory. I think India should stick with the present team and not make any more changes. All they need to do is work on their batting. |

I was planning for something like this but it seems you have done most of your homework on how to actually initiate a P2P serve using the forum and a platform. Great job @elevates. I am sure many request would be genuine but it will be a lot of struggle. I am not sure whether we can place an ANN on this thread. As we are launching a service related to BTT. I think they should allow it. Please copy/paste it on that thread and let's see how the moderators treat it. What everyone would also like to know is that how you will verify a member worthy for a trade? You haven't mentioned it . Please do mention it and then post it on the ANN thread. |

We are witnessing another one sided match today between DC and RCB. Shafali Verma was on fier today. Every shot that she hit was a classic example of perfect timing. The support that she got from the captain was amazing. Both of them were hitting the ball around every corner of the stadium.
DC today broke the record of highest runs by team batting first by MI. Two matches and the bar has been set very high by these two teams. I was expecting Mandana to do the same but it seems most players who are bought at a high rate tend to not perform in Indian league. Overall in my opinion WPL 2023 is going to be a hit with Indian cricket loving audience.

I wrote this after Australia lost first test match and this myth has once again proved to be true. Australia will not be able to win this series but can they be able to draw this series?
The possibility of a draw is highly unlikely! India will win the next test match in Ahmedabad as they have hardly lost any test series in Indian for sometime now. Indore pitch was bad but Indian batters cannot hide behind it. I am pretty confident that the Indian batters like Rohit, Shubhman, Jadeja and Iyer will play sensible cricket in the next match. The bowling has been great so far. Umesh Yadav was able to take three wickets on a pitch that was helping spinners. So bowling is not a concer but batting is a big concern for now. |

The one-sided nature of the first ever WPL match reminds me of the first IPL match, that occurred way back in 2008. Back then it was Brendon McCullum of the Kolkata Knight Riders, who came up with a massive score of 158 not out from 73 balls. KKR made 222/3 and in return, the Royal Challengers Bangalore were bowled out for 82 runs. Victory margin was 140 runs. Yesterday it was Harmanpreet Kaur in the place of McCullum. The victory margin was eerily similar, at 143 runs. The difference is that yesterday it was not a one-man show. Hayley Matthews and Amelia Kerr also contributed to Mumbai Indians batting.
I just remembered that first match of IPL. After this match he did not have any big score throughout the first season if I remember it correctly. I never ever thought that Harmanpreet Kaur would be so agressive yesterday. She scored 65 runs at the strike rate of over 200 percent. The noise generated by the crowd while she batted was simply unbelievable. I once felt I was watching an IPL match. Jio cinema made it more interesting to watch the first match with their graphics. |

Yep. It means the pros point in OP is not correct.
By default settings that are for normal users, Electrum is not good for anon and privacy.
Nope, I would say the level of anonymity when compared with Wasabi and Samourai might not be on that level. However, still you would get anonymity if you are constantly using new receiving/sending addresses generated by Electrum. Transactions cannot be made hidden on the blockchain but they can only be disguised. If you are so concerned then It is better to use Chipmixer which is free as the platform does not charge any fee. For any transaction they would charge the miner fee. If you are not aware on how it works then you should read page 9/30 of this PDF file on - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know AboutBitcoin Mixers (But Were Afraid to Ask). If you want to know which Bitcoin Mixer you should then you should read the below post. I do not think everything written by the OP is correct. I know a lot could have been discussed in this post as many important points were left out. I would be happy to read this post and then verify the content by visiting those links rather than judging it with a reply. If you are someone who believes on others rather do it all yourself then you might encounter problems in the future. |

Virtually no issue with the demerits points but again our batters played poorly as well, which inflated the idea of a bad pitch.
The match referee before submitting the pitch report to ICC did consult with both the captains. I think to an extent the pitch has to be blamed but the Indian batters cannot hide behind this report to justify their poor performance. All previous matches the top and middle order has failed to score. This time the lower order also failed and that is the reason why India lost. Next match will be played in Ahmedabad. If India want to qualify or test world cup they need to win that match. If not then all will depend on Srilanka. Even praying is not helping Virat Kohli. |

Venkatesh Prasad VS Akash Chopra
Just found out that both of them would be part of the commentary team in WPL 2023. I am not sure how BCCI was able to convince Venkatesh Prasad in doing commentary with the Chopra after both of them had fight over KL Rahul on Twitter. I guess they might have offered him a good amount of money. This turn of events would certainly spice up WPL 2023. I am pretty much convinced that many cricket fans like me would watch WPL more to listen to these two than develope an interest in women's league cricket. I hope these to forget that spat and provide great commentary in WPL.
