The experience from T20 and Test matches were completely different. For that we can't say the player who had performed well can't play good in test matches. In the past we used to hear the statement, Sachin's records can't be beaten. What is happening. Virat Kohli is so close and soon he'll beat all the records. Same as that, in bowling we've got legendary bowlers from Australia and for the same it doesn't mean the present bowlers are down to them in performance.
Sachin himself in an interview had said that one batter that can beat his record is Kholi. Sachin was from an era when an umpires was the only decision makers. Virat is from an era where apart from the umpires there are softwares that help the umpires to make a decision. Still if Kholi is able to beat Sachin's record then it is a great achievement for him. Therefore I would still rate Sachin ahead of Virat. And one more thing. Sachin was a gentleman, both on and off the field. Unlike Kohli who behaves like a Baboon.
Sachin is a legend! These new age batters grew up watching Sachin play cricket. He is still a gentleman on and off the field. His simplicity is what made him the God of Cricket. I also agree Kholi behaves like a Baboon on the field not sure how he behave off the field. |

At one point I had a feeling that India would lose the Indian bowlers were struggling to get Bracewell. Thanks to Thakur he was out at 140. India won by just 12 runs all because of good batting by Bracewell. MD Shiraz had another good spell as he got 4 wickets. He has confirmed his berth in the world cup squad after yesterday's performance where he again took 4 wickets. Overall a good chase by the Newzealand team.

Management will not give rest to Rohit and Kohli from the ODIs because WC is on the line and no one is going to replace Rohit in ODI at least this year. Sanju is injured.
Rohit is not going to be replace for the next couple of years as India is still testing Vice Captains. Till the world cup these two shouldn't be rested both are looking good with bat. The continuation will help them a lot when they play in the world cup. That's what the management thinking and it's logical so can't blame them. -------------------------- India got off to a good start but Indian openers are hardly rotating strikes. 59 runs in 11 overs and just 5 singles, they are only banking on boundaries. Not bad but at the same time they are playing lot of dot balls which is not good practice. What a fabulous batting by Shubhman Gill. He became the youngest batter to score a double century. If he had also gotten out cheaply like the others then India wouldn't have given a massive target of 349 runs. Another dominating performance by India because of this young batter. Now it's time for the bowlers to get wickets. |

Australian former cricketers gunning for their team to win Border Gavaskar Trophy. Legendary WK Gilchrist draws a comparison to the 2004 BGT series and thinks current Aussie can repeat the same but surprisingly he's banking on fast bowlers, not spin.
Then we have some delusional ones like Ian Healy, making dumb statements like "Spin decks are unreasonable " lol.
They are saying that because they know the current Australian side struggles with spin bowling. I am sure many other Australian veterans will come up with the same or another weird theory in order to create a pressure on the Indian team, before the series. This has been a habit of Australia before the BGT. With the current form of senior Indian batters it would be easy for them to handle pace attack of Australia. In 2004 Shane Warne was effective against India but Jason Gillespie and Glen MCGrath were on fire in the two matches that Australia won. |

Word is that Axar is getting married, his career shaping up nicely and becoming a good asset for India but Sundar will replace him and he's a handy cricketer as well, also considered a superior bat than Axar so it should be okay.
Sundar is a good all rounder and better with bat than Axar but in recent times Axar has proven himself as a mature all rounder in all format of cricket. He was supposed to be the replacement of Jadeja.

The Indian sub has really low engagement which is the reason why most of us don't post in this sub these days.
Besides that, the government hasn't been showing support to crypto currencies which is another reason why new members aren't joining the forum and hence no posts in Indian sub.
Although high taxes are imposed on crypto trading I really don't think that the government will, at any point of time in future, completely ban crypto trading as @pakhitheboss mentioned.
Also, there are talks about a CBDC launching soon so lets see how that gets implemented and how things go forward for crypto in India.
I don't think government taxes are is the main issue for low engagement. What I feel is not helping good topics to come up is merits distribution. I too avoid giving merits to news or promotion on this board. Although, I tried my level best to get traction on this board but non of those merit source ever looked on those reply, topics, threads and anything. They were only focusing on thier betterment rather the board itself .They also were too much engaged considering what could make this board interactive. They were only focusing on what is profitable for them. I still believe we can get his board active. All we need to do is encourage those who create topics that are engaging & giving them merits for thier effort. I do not see such attitude in the coming near future as most of our Merit source are least interested. |

There wasn't much interest from the broadcasters for WIPL but still, it found the bid for 5 year contract worth close to 1000 cr INR.
Also, Mumbai is hosting the first season, ideally, it should have been all metro cities but it's fine as they are still testing the waters.
As per me, this is the best deal that you can get! Considering that it is a women based cricket game! In reality the WIPL, before it's inception is more profitable than the PSL.  If you talk about women uplifting! Women freedom! Women sports! Then WIPL will deliver it. All it needs to do is get those views and since Mumbai provided a venue where they got the highest spectators on a woman bilateral cricket match, WIPL got those allocations on Mumbai pitches. I think it is a smart move by BCCI. |

Shreyas Iyer ruled out of the India VS Newzealand ODI due to back injury. He will be now replaced by Rajat Patidar. I think it all depends on whom Rohit Sharma would select tomorrow as he has got other options too. It would be interesting to see who gets that opportunity. In all a competitive ODI series is expected as both these team have recently won ODI series respectively.

I am a big supporter of Bitcoin but it doesn't mean I would name my child as Bitcoin. Think about your child's future. He might be objectified due to his name in the school. This name can also invite unwanted attention. I personally don't like your idea but it is your baby you can do whatever you want to do. BTW congratulations!

There is nothing to compare, but the EX PCB chairman Ramiz Raza's commented that WIPL would be nothing compared to WPSL. I thought, I should share. BTW BCCI haters would now gone into safe zone  and in my opinion BCCI is the only cricket board that knows how to uplift women cricket. I am eagerly waiting for both franchise and players auction. If you can question BCCI you should also praise its efforts. I did and hopefully many haters should do that too. Never shy away or excuse the truth! BCCI is the board that would make a difference and also make money more than any other cricketing boards. |

WIPL is now bigger than PSL!
WIPL media right per game sold at INR 7.5Cr to VIACOM18 which means JIO TV would be streaming it for free on its apps. I never thought that I would compare the media right of a women league tournament with men's league tournament. PLS per game media right is just INR 4.5Cr. This is very big considering WIPL has not yet started. If WIPL is able to generate good viewership in the next 5 years then I am sure it would become one of the biggest league sports for women. BCCI has done a great job in uplifting women cricket. Now a lot young girls will dream of becoming a cricketer.

Bloody hell!! KL Rahul is VC again, which means he'll play the first 2 tests for sure and he'll open with Rohit.
I did mentioned it on the ODI thread that this guys has secured his berth after his performance in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. In the third ODI he again lost his wicket after scoring just 7 or 6 runs. This is how you keep your berth safe in the playing 11, when in the past you have proven yourself.
Jadeja is back in the squad but his fitness status is still not clear. SKY's name is surprising considering there are a bunch of guys breaking tons of records in Ranji.
Sir, Jadeja is a legend! I am happy that he is part of the squad. What I am excited about whether both Axar and Sir Jadeja both will be part of the playing 11. It seems Axar is trying to get his position. It would be awesome to see both these two playing and also delivering what India needs ( A series win). In my opinion Axar has proven that he can replace Jadega. |

Sharma ji ka ladka who happens to be a skipper for the Indian team was talking about how it's hard to get a perfect game for any team and he was hoping more or less perfect match for his team.
Well, he got what he wanted. The winning margin is 317 runs, that's what a perfect match looks like for any team.
Young guy Gill scored his second ton, the captain himself got a few runs, and then Koach got the daddy hundred.
Siraj, Shami, and Kulee were too good for Lankan's batters.
I am sure this win might be the biggest one in the history of ODI cricket. I was hearing the commentary of Harsha Bhogle and he did mentioned it as it was by a huge margin. I have no doubt now that MD Shiraz can now be a regular bowler for both ODI & Test squad. |

What a fabulous effort by Shiraz to get 5 wickets in an innings that to in a white ball game. Today wasn't his day but the way this guy has been bowling I am sure he will get another opportunity. This series might open the eyes of Srilankan board on how bad this team is in an ODI. India has dominated this series which in my opinion is a good sign before the world cup.

The ongoing ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup 2022/23 has witnessed a rare incident. Yesterday there was a match between the UAE U-19 women's team and the Scotland U-19 women's team. All the 11 players in the UAE team were Indian citizens. I believe that this is the first time in the history of ICC that all the players in one of the "national" teams is represented by another nation. Also, all the 11 players in the US team (in the match against Sri Lanka) were of Indian origin, but a majority of them were citizens of the United States.
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.

I haven't been posting much, but I never missed a day for all these days in the past to visit the forum to update what is happening around crypto market but the reason I created this thread is I saw a thread about local board activity on meta where I found only 32 posts were made in a month if I am not wrong, so I decided to make some contribution to bring some traffic here, and I expect every fellow Indian community members to do the same.
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.
Government may successfully reduce the trading on paper, but they forced the users to use the back door because of unfairly high tax rate, so I can see a lot of activity on p2p like LBC again than before which says Indians didn't boycott crypto trading but they are off the radar due to the government rules.
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. |

Even now I don't like their idea of being heavily dependent on the Indian market for revenue and viewership.
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!
One advantage is that JioCinema is streaming all the matches for free. So Indian fans don't need a cable TV connection to watch these matches (although the matches are being shown in Sports18 and Sports18HD as well).
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.

Deep Dasgupta is boring.
Sunny G is only good when he talks about batting technique but most of the time he's cringeworthy.
Agarkar is okay in patches.
Murli Kartik should be banned.
-----
Anyway, India lost too many batters tonight and we have a long tail. 1 more wicket could make the match very interesting.
-------
Edit
Okay, you must be talking about Rusell, he's there too.
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. |
