Afghanistan cricket team losing by such a margin to Sri Lanka cricket team is not acceptable. I was betting for Afghanistan cricket team in this match today. I have lost a huge amount of money due to the defeat of the Afghanistan cricket team. We never expected such unexpected game from Afghanistan cricket team. The batting performance of the Afghanistan cricket team was so bad that it cannot be said

Afghanistan & Srilanka are somehow similar in ODI format. They have a an unreliable opening pair and an unreliable bowling attact. First match Srilanka lost because the opening batting pair did not perform. Second match the opening batting pair gave Srilanka an ideal start. First match Afganistan bowled brilliantly. Second match they were pathetic with their bowling.

The third and final match would be interesting. It is obviously the decider for the series and also the team winning the final match would might get a jump on the ODI ranking table.
Third match is going to be a tough one between sirlanka and Afghanistan both are good teams and both will try to win this for icc points table .
Sirlanka has higher chances of winning as they are stronger in odi format than Afghanistan but you never know how things will turn out .

Lying had always been part of human nature since creation, to begin with. It is just so bad the way it has creeped into every facets of civilization. Even most careers require one to tell lies inorder to be seen as a team player or tell lies to get promoted.  
Infact if you tell the truth too often, people get to maim you, call you a pastor or preacher, exempt you from certain occasions and even call you feeble or weak.
It is just the way society has normalized lying that makes it look cool, else it is one way to become delinquent fast.

If lies can be the outcome of an election result and upon which power position is attained, tell me where else and how else lies cannot thrive?
Unfortunately yes lying has become our nature and we can't help it ,its too common that people don't consider it as a mistake now .
But trust me lying leads you to nowhere you have to face the reality and truth at some point of time and you cant run away from that.

What are the things the world,the governments and people needs to do to stop racism in our society ?
As much as we want the world to become a better place, it's hard to change the mind of those people that has made racism as part of their attitude.

I even saw videos in different parts of the world that have shown how racist people are and even just riding on a train was a big deal to those racists people.

The only way to get rid of racism is to stop talking about it. This includes stopping those who promote it as though it were something.
I agree if no one talks about it then no one will do it or if someone does, it's possible that racism will be lessen.
Government cannot do anything about racism this should be stopped at individual level . And the best way to avoid racism is to avoid talking about it and ignore it . We come across different kinds of people every day with different upbringing and backgrounds so you cannot correct everyone.  The one who you can correct and check is yourself just focus on that.

I've witness a situation whereby a father sent his son to buy cigarette and smokes it in his presence,

Although seeing a father sending his son to buy cigarettes and smoke in their presence is not a new thing in some areas in my country, I believe these are the things that affect youths when they see their parent doing something they will now follow and do the same thing in my opinion they're things we need to check even if our parents are doing it is not necessary we must do that or practice it as them you can see that some of the fathers are now old I believe some fathers are still smoking due to addiction from there young age which they cannot avoid it


in some other homes you'll see mother's using foul words on their husband, In the presence of their kids, all these are not good upbringing and affects the children negatively which in turn affects the society.


Lack of home upbringing or the fact that they observe their mothers speaking to their fathers impolitely and assume that's how to treat a man or husband are two of the most prevalent reasons why you see female children getting married and then simply getting divorced later. These issues, in my opinion, harm women more than male children.

Good upbringing is extremely important for today's generation to make them a responsible and good citizen of society.  We live in world where we have exposure to everything good and bad and alll that can guide you in right direction is your upbringing.
This keeps your path intact and helps you in many things but honestly good upbringing is extremely difficult in this time .

UAE vs West Indies
UAE won the toss and put into bat and scored 53 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 12 overs. Their opening batting failed, Mohammad Wasim was dismissed for 0 runs from 2 balls, Aryansh Sharma was dismissed for 5 runs from 5 balls. Ramiz Shahzad was hurt after scoring 12 runs off 25 balls. Vriitya Aravind is unbeaten with 20 runs off 40 balls. UAE is under a lot of pressure as the wicket falls first. West Indies are bowling very well. Today's game West Indies will perform well and I think West Indies can win today.
Bad starting for UAE
Only 0 runs for 1 wickets at second ball. UAE then lost two wickets for 25 runs, but so far they have collected 146 runs for 6 wickets. What do you think is the maximum score of UAE in today's match? I think the score will be 200 runs.
The UAE team is now quite a strong team. I expected better performance from UAE players in today's match. But the performance of the UAE batsmen was not good enough. UAE mustered 185 runs after 45 overs. UAE's two openers did not get off to a good start. Had the two openers been able to play well, maybe UAE could have collected big today. Even then, if UAE is able to provide a target of 230-240 runs then the UAE team will be able to fight for the win. Although West Indies are a strong team, the performance of their players is not regular.
My guess was fairly accurate, I commented that the UAE could collect as many as 200 runs. 2 runs more than my estimate and UAE are all out for 202 runs. However, West Indies are likely to win today's match. Always keep an eye on our active thread for updates on the next match.

A target of 203 runs is not enough to win. Had the two UAE openers batted a bit better, the UAE team could have provided a decent target today. However, I don't think UAE will win against West Indies. Still thought the UAE team will fight hard to win today's match. But this possibility also declined after the batsmen's poor performance. West Indies collected 58 runs after 12 overs. They lost only one wicket. West Indies need only 145 runs in 38 overs. It will not be a tough task for West Indies.
Yes, a target of just 202 runs is not enough to win an ODI match. because there are 300 balls in 50 overs. even if any team score 1 run per ball on an average here, it becomes 300 runs. so a target of 300+ runs is definitely needed to win an ODI match. UAE set a target of 202 runs in 47.1 overs, but West Indies completed that target in just 35.2 overs. so even if UAE set a target of 300 runs, I think West Indies were capable of winning the match against UAE
United Arab Emirates batted first and set a target of 202 runs in 47.1 overs. United Arab Emirates gave such a small target in a bad batting performance.  West Indies bowled well and won the match. UAE could not score too many runs to get all out in this match. West Indies won this match by 7 wickets.  I think West Indies could have won this match by surpassing the target of 350 runs. But Kimo Paul of West Indies took 3 wickets with 34 runs in 7.1 overs. Kimo Paul bowled very well.
The UAE team is not qualified enough to beat a team like West Indies. Because the West Indies are performing at a much higher level than the opposition  team. If compared from that aspect, the opposition team UAE has played quite well.
Yes obviously UAE is a weak team as compared to west indies, they easily defeated UAE yesterday. 
Good batting ny west indies, brilliant innings by Brandon king112runs he is the reason west indies won.

England finished 2nd innings within 0.4 ov

Yesterday, Ireland gave England a lead of just 10 runs as England started the second innings and ended the second innings with just four balls. Zak Crawley scored 12 runs with three fours off four balls to end the second innings. However, his 300 career strikes rate has increased his total strikes rate.
An interesting fact is that if Ireland had finished the second innings the way they had finished the first innings, they might have lost by an innings. However, Ireland did not lose by an innings yesterday.

There was no doubt that this was the expected result. There was no way anyone could have predicted that Ireland would win the test match against England. It was very close to being a big loss for Ireland. It is a big loss anywhere. But it could have been an innings difference. However, Ireland was able to avoid such a situation. As expected, it was an excellent performance on the part of England. There was no doubt in my mind from the beginning that Ireland would not have a chance against England. However, it is a good thing to see that at least Ireland gave it a try.
Ireland right now have this pattern In test matches in first innings they collapse badly and in 2and innings they gain some momentum but obviously that of no use as match went out of their hands.
England is an excellent team and experienced too they literally enjoyed this test thoroughly.

Srilanka vs Afghanistan

Today these two teams will play 2nd ODI match. According to the last match Afghanistan team is looking more strong as compare to Srilankan team. Because the last match was amazing.
Yeh absolutely most of us expect same results as Afghanistan were looking stronger on the basis of his previous match performance. But today SiriLanka played totally different they scored tons of runs Firstly and scored impressive target of 326 runs.
While Afghanistan whose bowler leak much runs were under pressure due to high target Chase and due to that they lose important wicket of his main player Gurbaz and Ibraham which cost them too expensive as a result they lose with high margin of 130+. Hope they will recover his confidence in 3rd match..
After seeing today's game I can honestly say I don't have any doubts. Against SL Afghanistan played quite well. There is no denying their commitment and effort even if their defence was suspect and they ultimately lost.
Afghanistan provided everything they had, demonstrating that they can compete in large arenas. Although NY is a powerful team Afghanistan offered them difficult opposition making for an exciting match.

This game demonstrated that every team has its flaws but it also demonstrated that anyone can overcome obstacles if they have the correct attitude and plan of attack. Afghanistan played with remarkable confidence despite the defeat and won our hearts.

Today sirlanka came well prepared to win this match and without any doubt they were phenomenal throughout the game first batting wise they nailed it and balling side was too good they neatly took all wickets of Afghanistan and won by a great margin .
Next ODI  is going to an interesting one.

most people who already have a lot of money or more than enough can buy pleasure, on the other hand money can change human nature that lacks human norms or bad relationships. because this trait is like a ruler where everything becomes easy life doesn't want to be complicated because money is always there. it's just that money can't buy a long life or lasting pleasure
It is actually true now that money motivates everyone to do anything in life, everyone's running after money and success . Money can be a good thing and bad thing depending upon how you'll take it.
Some people don't care about illegal activities for money but some have some values which they keep in mind while earning money.
29  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: June 04, 2023, 06:33:03 PM
There are many reasons why people are poor. It is normal to be poor if you are behind in education. There are also many people who, despite having the ability to work, prefer to wander around instead of working to improve. Again, there are many things that people can become rich if they take advantage of these things. On top of all that, it is not uncommon for people who are afraid to take risks to be poor. Reasons include the risk of investing, sitting idly by, and lack of interest in financial assets
Lack of insight regarding financial management, low education, not working hard and there are many other reasons why people remain poor and it is not easy to leave poverty. But one thing for sure is Laziness. Laziness is the biggest obstacle in life that can hinder a person's financial condition from changing for the better. Because the feeling of being lazy and not wanting to work hard is a condition that we must fight if we want to make changes in our lives. especially for our financial improvement. and all of that must start from ourselves, one of which is not being lazy and always trying hard.

People remain poor because of their pessimist approach to life,  those who don't want to grow and help themselves ends up depressed.
Those who don't want to improve themselves and who are not willing to work for their betterment remain underprivileged and poor.

After losing the first match by six wickets, Sri Lanka got off to a good start in the second ODI. The top four batsmen have been able to score good runs so far. Batting at a run rate of 5.33, Sri Lanka has managed to score 192 runs in 36 overs so far. Their batting looks like they will be able to score big against Afghanistan today. 
As it is a three match ODI series Sri Lanka must win this match because if Sri Lanka lose this match for any reason then they will lose the series against Afghanistan. 300 plus runs will be very difficult for Afghanistan to win. Now let's see if Sri Lanka manage to score 300 plus runs against Afghanistan's strong bowling line-up.
Sri Lanka lost their 1st ODI match against Afghanistan at their home ground. Afghanistan's batting performance was excellent due to which they won by more runs. But the way Sri Lanka is batting in today's match, they must have collected a big score. At the end of the game they must score 300 plus Sri Lankan batsmen are batting brilliantly due to which their run rate is increasing rapidly. In today's match, Sri Lanka are collecting runs and will definitely be a big score for them to win. And if you score 300+ runs it will be very difficult for Afghanistan and I think it will not be possible for Afghans to score so many runs. and Sri Lanka will try hard enough to win the match they must win this match otherwise they will lose this series. Sri Lanka's score today is certainly unlikely for Afghanistan to win many runs.
The match is getting tougher for Afghanistan as the overs go on. When Afghanistan came to bat with a target of 324 runs, Afghanistan lost Rahmanullah Gurbaz early on and suffered a big blow in batting. So far has managed to collect 110 runs by losing two wickets. Afghanistan are now batting at four plus current run rate but Afghanistan need to score 8+ runs per over to win. If this wicket pair can form a good partnership then the two teams will have almost equal chances of winning but if Sri Lanka can pick up some quick wickets then it will be much easier for Sri Lanka to win this match.

I would not say that Afghanistan suffered a major blow by losing the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is not in good form. Even his performance in IPL was very bad. However, it is much more difficult to win by batting at a target of 324 runs. It seems unlikely that Afghanistan will win to bat at such a big target. Yet they continued to try.
Afghanistan collected only 140 runs at the end of 30 overs. They can't collect an average of 5 runs per over. But Afghanistan lost only two wickets. They need 184 runs in 20 overs. They need to score more than 9 per over to win.
Although Rahmanullah Gurbaz was not in form, the game became very chaotic when one of the opening pair got out early in the game. Same thing happened with Afghanistan as they failed to bowl economically against Sri Lanka today then Rahmanullah Gurbaz got out early to bat which put a lot of batting pressure on Afghanistan and were bowled out for just 191 runs against Sri Lanka. That means Sri Lanka won this match by 132 runs. Sri Lanka returned to a 1-1 tie in the series by winning this match.

The third and final ODI match is a life-and-death battle for both the teams as the losers in the final match will be denied the series win.
Brilliant balling by sirlanka they easily crushed Afghanistan batting lineup specially middle and Lower order batsmen.  Good job done by sirlanka they worked really hard for this victory,  series leveled by 1-1 .
Now next Match will be the deciding one for both teams who will win the series .

Sirlanka gave a good target today they bat really great,323 is a good comeback for them.
Till now they have been successful in controlling runs as Afghanistan has already lost 2 wickets 130 runs in 28 overs . The require runrate is  is 8 which is not a difficult one for Afghanistan as long as Ibrahim zadran is on crease .

Srilanka lost because of their bowling. Just look at the stats of  Pathirana, he gave 8 wides and was hammered mercilessly. I feel this youngster was tired. LOL! At age 20 if he does such a bowling, it feels as if he is not interested in bilateral series.

Afghanistan batting line up is very strong and they proved this in t20 world cup. Their batsmen has ability to score faster and their bowlers are also hard hitter. Afghanistan team is new but they worked lot of and now their team becomes very dangerous. Afg could defeat champions team. In this one day match all batsmen batter well, Ibrahim Zadran performance was too good.

Srilanka should work on their bowling and shouldn't lose second match. I think they took Afghanistan team lightly which worth them. Srilanka not produced paced bowlers so far like lasith malinga. their spin is not enough to give them victory on every patch. Tomorrow there will be second one day and this is must win for Srilanka but last match prove that winning over Afghanistan is not easy task.
It has to be admitted that the Afghanistan cricket team is now deadly in both batting and bowling. In the first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. The Sri Lankan cricket team showed some of its example by defeating them. With two more matches to go, it is expected that the Afghanistan cricket team will be able to maintain their performance. And they can show something good in the next two matches. But I think Afghanistan cricket team needs to be more responsible to win the series
Next match will be very important for sirlanka and Afghanistan to tell your actual position in ODI format, this series is very crucial before world cup as this is telling about where each team Is standing.
Sirlanka will try their best to win the match to level the series.

Not everyone will be lucky enough to get a white-collar job as they say but if you are sensible enough you have to create a job for yourself to avoid being a dependant. 
You have made the right choice and you should also work on expanding your customer base.
Yes you can survive without a government job but it is not advisable to leave your job or to not look for government job .
Government jobs have alot if benefits along with pay packages that is a steady income in your pocket which you can have easily.  If you want to do something privately do it but also have a government job .

The match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka is more likely to ensure Sri Lanka's victory. Because Sri Lanka is ahead in the ODI format in terms of performance. But Afghanistan team is very good in T20 format. Still, Afghanistan is not to be underestimated.
I agree with you on this.  Because I have always seen that Sri Lankan cricket team always plays better than Afghanistan cricket team in ODI matches. But unfortunately Sri Lanka cricket team lost the first ODI match against Afghanistan cricket team by 6 wickets. It is really a painful thing but I would say there is no reason for Sri Lankan cricket team fans to be disappointed. Sri Lankan cricket team is expected to do well in the upcoming matches. Opponent Afghanistan cricket team should not be underestimated either. They have already won a match against Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan cricket team needs to prepare hard for the upcoming matches
No doubt sirlanka is a good team in odi format but you cannot underestimate Afghanistan as they have become really good and strong team in last couple of years . They have the capability to beat any strong team as they have done with Pakistan in recent t20 series.

After watching test matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka all were clear as they are still not able to perform, so now we are watching how things are going against team like England with now this match is going to end today without any entertaining just some good personal records for the English players which is surely matter of shame.

Ireland have recovered well in second innings. They are now 259/6 and trail by 93 runs.Andy McBrine and Mark Adair are on the crease and they both have added 100 runs to the total. Definitely Ireland are not in a position to win this game, the best result for Ireland will be to avoid a loss by an innings. Mark Adair is highest run scorer for Ireland in this game as he is not out on 61 (50).
A good try to cover some loss in 2nd innings, atleast they have brought the match to lead of 11 runs . But that was obvious they couldn't win from England because they were too good overall.

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢.
I know that this is very painful, but there is nothing we can do other than advise ourselves and those closest to us so that we can always avoid gambling addiction in any way and at least be able to educate them more about how dangerous the effects of addiction are. People whose thoughts are deadlocked with hope and feel that everything is finished, that is where our role is, if indeed there is someone closest to experiencing a problem like this, we must be able to become advisors. So in gambling, everyone returns to themselves, they must be able to emphasize the mentality that gambling is just a game, nothing more than that.
I agree, we have to advise ourselves and also those closest to us, if we are addicted then it is really difficult to cure. Lucky me to be here, maybe even we are lucky to be here. Because in this forum we learn many things about gambling, and understand many things about life in gambling, not a few of us become responsible gamblers from here. Yes Sir gambling is just a game also gambling is not to get rich, very sad to read it and hopefully the family left behind can get through their sadness.
These stories should be told to all the addictive gamblers so that they can learn lesson from this that limitless gambling can lead you to these extreme situations.  When you destroy all your money on such thing just for fun or fantasy to become rich you end up becoming depressed and broke .
Think twice before doing anything like that.

I don't understand the point in having these sort of one-sided matches. Ireland is not just ready yet to face the pig-3 sides. They ever struggled against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and then how can we expect them to be competitive against England? On top of that they are missing some of their key players such as Josh Little and Craig Young (the latter as a result of an injury). I have a feeling that the decision to award them full membership in 2019 was a mistake. There is no improvement in the Irish performance for the last 4 years. In fact I would say that their performance has worsened.
Ireland is still a very weak time and their performance in these matches sums it all they cant compete with big teams on international level.
Irish cricket board should first work in their performances than send them to play outside their country.
Alot of work is required to be done on this team.

I think it might happen in a span of 10 years. The way IPL is growing right now I do not see this as an impossible task. The only problem is that I do not trust cricket to actually stay alive after 20 years. Unless ICC changes some rules. Cricket is not going to survive only throughout the Indian and Pakistani players, if you know what I mean.
Cricket will be well and alive as long as people are interested in them and the reason IPL and India is able to generate huge revenue than any other country is because of the fan base and the ability to fill any stadium whenever a match is played and the TRP rating they are receiving. Australia, New Zealand and England along with the other Asian countries are the major teams and it will be like that for the decades to come and the present fan base wont be diminishing.
Agreed, it is the followers that make cricket more popular and people of India celebrates it. In Bangladesh for a win against India, the government declared it a national holiday. This is how countries have given importance to cricket. Along with these countries more countries have grown well amidst the infrastructure and economic situation in the country. Few of which were Nepal and Afghanistan which will turn to be strong team in the coming years. European countries celebrate football in similar style and Asian countries does it with cricket.
Asian continent cricket is beautiful and people of this continent enjoy cricket very much. Especially India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka have huge fans of cricket. Nepal has qualified for the upcoming Asia Cup and Asia Cup qualifiers. 
In the qualifying matches of Nepal, I saw how much the people of Nepal can be cricket lovers. There was no empty space in the stadium where the game was played and those who could not get a seat in the stadium climbed the trees to enjoy the game thus supporting Nepal. And I believe if Nepal gets such support then Nepal will qualify for World Cup. 

A look at the studios shows how much Asian people love cricket.
That true Asia whole is a cricket loving continent, most of the countries have successful team and there is diversity if talents in Asia that's why European countries and middle east cricket teams are made up of all the Asian players . They don't have many native players with them.

Before start of this match all things were favoring Sri Lanka as home advantage, and they were also good at batting with this all bookies were giving them odds @1.40 which mean they were hot favorite for this match but after winning toss
The match started with high hopes for Sri Lanka being a tough team. They not only won the toss but also performed well with both bat and ball. Charith played exceptionally but winning a match doesn't solely depend on batting; a good bowling performance is also crucial. This match has been really exciting because Sri Lanka has been everyone's favorite team. Sometimes even against all odds, they manage to win, as luck often favors them. This time, Sri Lanka's defense seemed a bit weak, and Afghanistan has genuinely excited us because we didn't have much hope for them to win in our eyes.



As for now Afghanistan is a strong team than sirlanka specially in t20 format Afghanistan have some really good ballers and batsman with them right now and they're winning many series recently.  Yesterday match was totally won by ibrahim zadran he was the man who made this victory easy for Afghanistan  .
