I think PCB and cricket fans are tired of Pakistan players loosing abroad and they wanted to see them play in their home turf and you cannot blame them and their level of cricket is going down over the years and they were not able to find young talents that could replace their star players they had in their past. If they want to see cricket again they need to convince the global community that they are safe to travel.

The thing i noticed is that the inclusion of Glenn Maxwell in the team has made a huge difference for RCB and today an unknown player to me Srikar Bharat is the player of the match which means they have some local talents and they have the best team to break their curse of not winning an IPL title this year.

This is the first time i see Mumbai Indians not getting qualified and they need to improve their batting even though they played well in this match, they have good bowlers but their batting is their issue this season.

My pick is CSK and RCB in the final.

The major reason Ian Watmore was forced to step down i think is because he was not able to fulfill his role and satisfy all the counties as they were asking for a two year domestic schedule and he failed in that aspect and the counties have a much larger bargaining power and it looks like the pressure has got the better of Ian Watmore and if it was a normal situation and if there was no pandemic he should have done a better job i believe.

It looks like Kolkata Knight Riders will be the final team to qualify and yet another pathetic performance by Rajasthan Royals as Kolkata Knight Riders needs one more wicket to wrap up the match and get qualified.

Punjab Kings played one hell of a game against Chennai Super Kings and the way in which KL Rahul batted was simply brilliant, striking at over 233 and winning the match in 13 overs and third straight loss for Chennai Super Kings and things are not looking for them during the final stages of the tournament.

This has being said earlier in the forum by many, decentralization means getting the opportunity to run the mining farm globally without any restrictions and when China restricts mining then it is one less country for the miners and i wont be surprised if more countries comes out with these claims that they wont be allowing miners to burn electricity and damage the nature and at that point it is always one less country that allows you to deploy the network with freedom and i do not see that as a positive news.

I was late to the trend of DeFi because i was not interested after having a bad time investing during the ICO boom but once the price started to rally all the shit projects rallied and hence i invested in some of the NFT tokens which i thought have the potential. I am not naming those projects but the major ones that have the hype and some projects which i thought is interesting in the long run and a few exchange projects.

This is what everyone is hoping but you need to have some or the other good news that could really take the price to a new level. As one of the users Dave mentioned above you need to see some ETF getting approved to see the price going through the roof once again.

By the end of the year or when the bear returns any news could have an impact on the market. Till now China FUD had some impact even though it does not make any sense.

Wilder messed with that plan of a big panty night for Fury and Joshua and that fight will not create that kind of interest even if they fight now. The hype will be between undefeated fighters Usyk and Fury will be interesting as those are the two undefeated boxers right now and if the promoters the fight well, then they could attract the causal fans.

I thought it is going to be an easy chase for Delhi Capitals but they are loosing wickets and they need 34 runs in 24 balls and they already lost 6 wickets and Shimron Hetmyer is the only player who could strike the ball and if he somehow looses his wicket then they will struggle to reach the target.

Looks like the pitch is really difficult to bat as everyone is struggling in this wicket.

The most interesting aspect of this fight is that, i am waiting to hear the entertaining excuses Wilder is going to come up with when he looses again, either he was training like a maniac to win the fight against Fury somehow and he has plenty of time to prepare and i am thinking what all adjustments he have done, he will be always banking on his power than boxing skills and if Fury is in his flow there is no way he will be able to land a punch.

If you are talking about the DeFi craze then it will die off eventually and we will see how many projects will survive a bear run. I am not going to invest in any those coins hoping that i could stake and make money because you never know what happens to these projects in the long run or during a bear run as majority of the developers usually leave the project and move on to other things.

The answer is simple, there are users that abuse the offers the casino provides and if you are caught cheating their system they have the system in place to catch them. I am playing in multiple casinos for years and i never had any issues with any of the casinos because i do not take advantage of their system nor interested in taking their freebies if i use another account to gamble.

Majority of the casino system only flags you if you are taking advantage of their system and then win big amounts and if that is the case they will flag your account and may not allow you to withdraw the coins.

Yes Fury was knockdown in the first fight with Wilder but you need to remember that during that period Wilder was considered as the best fighter in the world and was active and many were comparing him with the legends for his power. On the other hand Tyson Fury was making a come back to boxing after taking a long break and going through mental issues and gained weight beyond recognition and to come back and perform the way he did after years of non activity speaks volumes to his skills and how the media boasted Wilder .

It is the responsibility of the exchange to take care of the clients assets and if some of the exchanges prove that they are not capable then as investors and traders you need to move out to other exchanges rather than sticking to them thinking that they would change. Coinbase is a huge company and they are worth billions of dollars if they cannot take care of security then what is the point in trusting them in the long run.

It is true that majority of the investors are here in the market to earn a quick profit. They really do not care about the fundamentals of a project and there are many seed fund investors who negotiate big deals so that they will get huge amount of coins than the general public usually gets and those investors really do not care about the project and once that hits the market they will pump the coin and in the meantime book their profit as well.

I do not consider Dogecoin as a dangerous joke even though it has a limitless amount of coins and the recent pump is due to manipulators trying to pump the coin.

The critics can be anyone and you will not hear anyone before the event, you will only hear them after the event and then dissecting the situation as if they knew well beforehand. The same you can see in every aspect of life, in the financial sectors and in the cryptocurrency market as well. You will not hear from them well before it happens, but once it happens you will hear them tell that they knew well beforehand  .

Can you explain what you are talking about here. The personal ego of whom and what is bringing down the spirit of the game. Everyone has their politics and i am not going to dug deep on that as i am not interested in that but the general capitalist mentality is that anyone bringing the most revenue should get the power and the major share and i do not complain against that either.

If i coin this in Bitcoin terms, can you complain about the whales who are investing huge amounts and getting the biggest profit and they can do that simply because they have the resources to raise the capital.

Lets take this situation, how do you think 3 boards are more powerful than the rest of the boards. Everyone has equal opportunity and then why these 3 boards have all the power and none of the other boards cannot complain about that or strike against that. If you know the answer, you solved your confusion  .

The team selection of Kolkata Knight Riders were really bad for the matches i saw till now and finally they included Shakib Al Hasan who is probably the best all rounder in world cricket and even though they are playing in spin friendly wickets he was not included and you need to blame the team selection.


If Rajasthan Royals win the match then they will have a chance to get qualified, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab are the other teams looking to get qualified and with the form Mumbai Indians are right now, i think Rajasthan Royals could win the match with their batting strength.

Wilder was picking and choosing fighters and he had confidence in his power despite the fact that he is not a technically great boxer but have immense power in his hands and once he faced Tyson Fury who was not going down with his power punch he was not able to do anything and if Fury continues his usual strength then he will win the trilogy and hopefully we will not hear any further excuses.

Lets see how long PCB will continue with their demands, New Zealand team left the country was an insult for them, what happened to the players that were shot and i never heard about any compensation by the PCB or the ICC because i was not following cricket during that period. If money was not a problem for PCB then what is the problem in playing in neutral grounds if other countries are not trusting the security.

Pakistan is not even competitive in Test and ODI, in T20 they can be competitive. I would like to see a series between Bangladesh and Pakistan and that would be a competitive match, but if they play against Australia, New Zealand and England there is no competition .
