LOL! The complete team for both these countries are of Indian origin. I can understand about US but UAE should have gone for players from other countries like Pakistan l, Srilanka, Bangladesh or from UK, SA & AUS. When they are buying players from the market they should have diversified it. I guess the coach and the team management might be also of Indian origin or BCCI might have some kind of contract of supplying players to the UAE board.

India VS Srilanka

The final ODI between these two teams will be played today. As India has already won the series I am sure there would be some changes in the playing 11 for today. I hope to see both Ishan Kishan and SKY playing today. Today's match would be very important for the Srilankan side and they would try their level best to win it. India would be going for the whitewash. The Indian bowlers have been absolutely impressive especially Shiraz & Umran. The batters are still struggling and are not at all consistent with their performance. Hopefully we might see some good batting today. 

Good to hear that someone is active and keeps attack of what is happening around. I did try to activate this board but no one from our country seems to be interested as most of them are only checking or working on the Bounty board. Another thing is that their is no encouragement from any Merit source.


I would still suggest you to wait till 2024. I am and many other Indian crypto communities are expecting some very harsh treatment from this government. We all know Modi will comeback but whether in full majority is something debatable.

Either you do not understand economy or you never understood the business of cricket. Every cricket playing nation has started its own league and some country in the middle east that do not have thier proper cricket team want to mint money with it own league tournament. Do you think they would be able to beat IPL?

I mean in the Indian subcontinent most countries are struggling to feed thier citizens with food and then they compare the 5th largest economy and it's cricket board. LOL!


I guess Indian players are not playing in this league. I do not expect this SA tournament to get views from India or any other country. They might get some from SA. As you wrote that it is JIO that is streaming this tournament for free. I would like to inform you that JIO will be doing the same for IPL for all it's users, starting this season of IPL.

Playing on thier home ground and getting destroyed is the speciality of Pakistani team. BTW, they won the toss and  choose to bat first. I think that decision might be a mistake. We will only know it when the Kiwis start batting. I am expecting a target of 270 at the max considering Pakistan has only two overs left and lost 7 runs.

Yes, it was Russell I was referring too. I hate hindi commentary because of Akash Chopra. He sounds so dramatic & always talking nonsense. I admire Sunny ji, Deep Dasgupta reminds me of Sanjay Manjarekar and I hate his fake ascent. Murli Karthik is a crap, not so sure about Agarkar.

After yesterday's match KL Rahul has confirmed his berth in the playing 11 for this year. One good innings from last year till yesterday and this guy has secured his position. I won't deny that if he had gotten out India might have lost the game by a narrow margin.

I am expecting a lot of changes in the final ODI. I am referring to those talents who have been sitting in the dressing room and admiring the views since India has already won the series.

Pakistan VS Newzealand

The final ODI of this series will be played today. As this match is the decider I am hoping Pakistani batters take some ownership and not rely only on Babar Azam. Newzealand would be far much confident after the last win. They know the loopholes of Pakistani batting and would like to exploit it once again.

Great! Someone took the initiative to post an engaging topic on this board, as I have stopped doing it due to zero engagement & zero merits from Merit sources. It seems most of them are inactive at the moment. 

Now, coming to what you have asked. A lot of revenue from tax has gone as most investors, traders and those who made a living on Bitcoin have shifted to international exchanges. A lot of investors/traders have shifted or made arrangements to do their business in crypto tax friendly countries.

The Indian government wanted to reduce crypto engagement and in my opinion they have been successfull as a lot of Indian exchanges have declared a traffic drop. In 2023 I am sure the government would not make any changes to the law as it is a preparation year for the next election which is scheduled in 2024. You can expect a complete ban in 2025.  

I do not understand why the Srilankan commentators are saying good over in Srilankan bowlers favour when the over conceded a 4 or sometime 5. In the end it is a 50 over match and if the Indian batters just score a 4 in every over still they can reach 200 runs. The rest can be through extras and some running in between the wickets. No idea why they are so happy as India has only lost 2 wickets and plenty batting is left as well as overs.

Edit: Kohli is out again unable to handle pressure. Give him a good opening and he will score a century, which did not happen this time.
Edit 2: Iyer gone, WTF!! It is only 216, why on the earth are they taking risk?

I have never seen a team from the subcontinent struggling against spinners. Kuldeep & Axar destroyed thier middle order. Rest Umran & Shiraz took care off. None of the Srilankan batters were able to form a good partnership. They tried but eventually gave up against the good Indian bowling on a batter friendly pitch. A complete dominance by the Indian team. It is an easy target to chase and a win win situation for India.

Srilanka won the toss and opted to bat first. A good decision as haze might play a role in the second half. Also the temperature tends to suddenly drop at night. I will not be easy for the Indian batters to chase the target set by the Srilankan batters. Any target which is 250+ would be good on this field. 

India VS Srilanka

The second ODI between these two teams will be played today. The match will be played on Eden Gardens. The last time these two teams played on Eden Gardens, Rohit Sharma score 200+ runs. I am hoping a simpler kind of performance by this time too. I am expecting both Ishan Kishan and SKY to be part of the playing 11. The problem with Srilanka is lack of experience bowlers. I do not think Dilshan Madushanka will be part of the Srilankan playing 11 as he had dislocated his shoulder in the previous ODI. Their batters are in good form and I expecting a good & exciting game of cricket today.

I have been using my Android mobile device to access the forum for sometime now. In the beginning it was not that easy to zoom in and zoom out or reply but after few initial hiccups it went well. Using the mobile device bring more comfort than the PC as you can sit or lie down while going through different post. I have been using both Chrome & Firefox on my mobile device.

Pakistan again bowled well but the Kiwis bowled better. The whole Pakistani batting line up just collapsed. Only the Captain stood thier but was not that agressive considering the number of balls he faced. The series is now tied and the last ODI will decide who will win it. Pakistan are still the favourite but after today's game I think the Kiwis do have a chance.

Pakistan VS Newzealand

The second ODI between these two teams will be played today. After an impressive performance by the Pakistan team in the first ODI, the Kiwis would be eager to beat them in the second match. Naseem Shah was the main reason why Pakistan was able to restrict the Kiwi's total. I am expecting Newzealand to uplift thier batting ability today. Toss would again play a crucial role in today's game.

That was in 2009, when we had legendary players like Sehwag, Sachin & Dhoni. Sehwag was the higest scorer in that match. Srilanka lost but it was a good chase by them considering the target was 400+. I donot think Srilanka did not try chasing 370+ target yesterday. They did but couldn't because of the good bowling attack.

Back to back century for Virat Kohli. First dropped at 52 and then at 81, had some crazy lick on his side. Good come back by the legend! Hopefully he will continue his form till the world cup.

Pathetic fielding by the Srilankan team. They gave away nearly 30 to 40 runs to India due to poor fielding. This might come back to them when they come to bat. I am expecting India to set a target of 375+ for Srilanka.

An absolutely great start by the Indian openers. I was expecting Rohit to hit a century, unfortunately he got out. India are 193/2 at the end of 26th over. With this speed they will easily score 350+ runs. It won't be easy for Srilanka to chase such big target. Kohli is looking good and I am atleast expecting a half century from him today.

Bhumrah is facing tough competition but he is still irreplaceable. He will eventually be part of the playing 11 after he has fully recovered from his back injury. It is just the stiffness of the back that he complained about and the team management did not wanted to take any risk therefore he has been dropped. I am pretty sure he would be ready before the IPL and the he would be playing in the upcoming world cup.

The Indian government not happy with news channels covering the accident news of Rishab Panth. The government stated that Rishabh Pant coverage distressing: Govt asks channels to follow code. I also personally do not like the way most news channels & social media covered this accident. They were trying to increase their TRP & clicks by constantly focusing on this news. They should have let the man rest and recover rather making money out of it.

Pakistan VS Newzealand

Pakistan completely dominating the match. Exceptional bowling by Naseem Shah who took 5 wickets and most of them were of important batters. Newzealand bowling was not that good and it was an easy target to chase for Pakistani batters.

India VS Srilanka

The first ODI between these two teams will be played today. SKY will not be part of the ODI squad and Bhumrah is again out. Veterans are back in the team and it would be interesting to see how they bat on their home ground. Expecting a close match between these two teams today.
