Australia didn’t play well this ODI series. They lost their last 3 of 3 match against Pakistan. I think one reason Australia lost their match Because they didn’t play main team. Their some most valuable player,Piayin IPL.Now Australias some batsman and bowlers are not talented because they are new cummer.I hope they will be back in win site in next match.

Australia have fantastic record against Pakistan in ODI. Even in this series Australia won the opening match followed by 2 wins from Pakistan. Australia haven't lost any ODI to Pakistan since 2017. Moreover CA has not issued noc to its players for PSL 2022, saying this series will be played by full squad.

Australia has no possibility to score above 300 runs. They had lost their first 2 wickets at zero run. I thought Australia won't be able to score above 150 runs. But they have collected 210 runs by losing all of the wickets. The middle order batman has kept the game alive for Australia. Pakistan bowlers started very well. I'm expecting similar performance from their batsman as they have done it in the second ODI. Pakistan lost the test series for their poor batting performance. Hopefully they won't repeat it in the ODI series.

It's an ideal opportunity for Pakistan to win that ODI series against mighty Australia. Pakistan have scored 64 runs in 11 overs and only one wicket lost. Australia fielding today is not upto the mark they have dropped Babar Azam in very early stage of the game and that catch could be game changer for Australia.

Like what he said above, bitcoin can act as a virtual piggy bank. It's okay if we won't teach our kids for the other use of bitcoin like gaming if we want them to enjoy the outdoor world but teaching them to save in their bitcoin wallet doesn't involve too much monitoring and they can still go outside and hang out there at all times. It is not bad to spend time on your screens but as long as you are earning an income with it.

You don't waste any time compared to when you only watch youtube and play video games because there are no real benefits that you can get with them. Pandemic are still there so going outside is still restricted anyway.

It's fine to do savings in bitcoin like DCA but there is another aspect associated with it. If you learn bitcoin then you are free to go on stuff which for kids are prohibited like gambling sites etc. So if you are teaching your kid about bitcoin then you need to be aware of that side. I would say 10 years is good age when we can introduce bitcoin to our kids.

Malaysia   VS  Papua New Guinea

A T20 match between Papua New Guinea and Malaysia was played today. Batting first, Malaysia scored 196 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. I thought Malaysia might win easily. But to my surprise, Papua New Guinea won the match by scoring 199 runs in just 17.5 overs. They have lost only two wickets. Assad Vala was unbeaten on 74 off 51 balls and Tony Ura was unbeaten on 86 off 34 balls. Interestingly, Tony Ura hit 10 over boundaries.

Malaysia scored 196 runs due to superb knock by Zubaidi Zulkifle, Ahmad Faiz and Syed Aziz. Win was very much on cards for Malaysia but PNG Assad Vala and Tony Ura were too good to handle Malaysia bowling. PNG achieved the target with 13 balls to spare.

South Africa lost their seventh wicket for 298 runs and lost one more wicket before adding any runs to the scoreboard. Simon Hermer and Lizaad Williams are now at the crease. They don't seem to bat well for a long. South Africa scored 314 runs. And they will probably finish their innings before 340. If Bangladesh batsmen can bat well, South Africa will not be able to win this match. But I don't trust Bangladeshi batsmen.

Well we can't predict result of test match based on first innings batting. South Africa right now have scored 314 runs and only 2 wickets left. 300 is quite a decent score and Bangladesh need to play well to level this score or take lead. Temba Bavuma is the man whose 93 helped South Africa to cross 300.

Even though i agree that England started this tournament badly as they had to win their last few matches consecutively to reach the semi finals, which they did and also win the semi finals but now they have to face the most important final match with the best team of the tournament. You can argue that the unbeaten Australian women's team will have one bad day in the tournament and that day could be the final but this is not necessary. They can beat England, lift the cup and remain unbeaten in the tournament.

Most of the time the underdogs wins the tournament and in this final England are the underdogs. England surely have less pressure as compared to Australia. Australia are unbeaten so far in this tournament and odds are in favour of them but I still bet on this match since I believe that England might win the game.

Pakistan vs Australia Second ODI.

Australia has made another positive start, Travis Head and Ben McDermott  both not out on 59 while Australia total score is 130/1 in 20 overs. Pakistan did same mistake as they did in first ODI of bowling second after winning the toss. Australia will definitely score 300+ runs which won't be easy to chase under lights.

Never understand why they need to bat second after winning the toss especially when they have faced the music in the 1st ODI  Angry

In this 2nd ODI, Pakistan already lost this match as I don't think we have the batting strength to chase down the 350 target. So far both the openers are looking solid but I doubt they can continue with the same pace through the 50 overs.

Nothing is predictable when someone is playing against Pakistan. On same ground with same squad Pakistan wasn't able to chase 313 and very next day they chased 348. Imam has scored two consecutive centuries so far. Even now you can't say Pakistan can repeat same performance in 3rd ODI. Series is still alive, let's see wts ahead.

In my opinion it's fine to teach bitcoin to kids as early as they can understand and adopt it, because bitcoin is constantly getting more and more valuable as the time goes by, while also increasing its support worldwide.

Just imagine if kids adopted bitcoin years ago and played online games which rewarded free satoshis as prizes. That would have been great and also a big boost for executing plans which demand financial resources they want to achieve when growing older.

I believe we could say bitcoin is an upgrade of the old good piggy bank, where kids were used to deposit every cents, saving for their future.

Bitcoin may be popular among the crypto community but its not a fundamental technology which every kid must be aware of in its early days. Kids these days are so much obsessed with electronic gadgets that they are paying less attention to outdoor activities and playing real world games. They will come to know about bitcoin as they grow up, let them focus on there childhood activities.

Perhaps the age of 10 years is also very early for a child, but some basics can already be explained to him. And to protect children from gadgets in our time is almost impossible, my friends have a child of 2.5 years old and he is so used to watching cartoons from the phone while eating that now he refuses to eat without cartoons. We can say that the parents are to blame, but many of my friends have this situation.


It's the story of every house no matter in which country you are living. Parents find this an easy escape to keep there kids engaged rather then playing with them. There are negative consequences of this approach that will be seen as your child grow up.
Most of us wanna transfer this knowledge to there kids just to make sure the hard work won't go in vain.

South Africa vs Bangladesh

The first Test match between South Africa and Bangladesh is being held today. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl. And at the end of 14 overs, South Africa collected 60 runs, without losing a wicket. The condition of the pitch makes it look like a batting-friendly pitch. So if you want to win the match, the bowlers must play well.

Despite winning the ODI series against South Africa, it does not look like Bangladesh will win the Test match. South Africa is much more experienced in the Test format than Bangladesh. It will not be difficult for South Africa to defeat Bangladesh.

For a team of Bangladesh level its enough to win ODI series and that too in SA. We can't say they are not capable of winning test in SA. SA lost ODI series since most of there players are busy in IPL, same is true for SA Test squad. Due to iPL international cricket of many countries are suffering since players prefer ipl over national duty.

England women team got a huge victory in the second semi final. The final will be played between Australia and England women team. Australia women team has played very well during the whole world cup. They have won all of the matches. While England women team started with 3 consecutive lose. But they didn't play badly at all. And it is true that the comeback of England women team is really surprising. I believe that the final match will be competitive between them. However, Australia women team will remain favourite in the match.

England women won by 137 runs today, SA has only lost one match in group stage but now they are out. Credit for this victory goes to Danni Wyatt and Sophia Dunkley whose knock help England giving target of 293. Meanwhile in England bowling Sophie Ecclestone took 6 wickets. SA who were favourite for today's match failed to come up to expectations.

I think parents should rather focus on teaching their kids good values at an early age, than forcing them to grow up too early. Kids should enjoy their freedom in their early days and they should spend the time to form social bonds with other people and also develop their young bodies to have a healthy and long life.

We have too many kids that are spending way too much time on computers and cellphones and their pre-teen and teen years are speeding past them. Let them have a healthy relationship with their team mates in Sports and also social time with friends and then you can invest in their future, by teaching them how to make money. (A good time to start will be between 16 and 18 years... when most of the basic development are done.)  Wink

Let kids be kids.... that early development is key to a balanced future.  Wink

Cant agree more. My 1.5 years old son is crazy about cell phone and we can't use cell phone in front of him since he want it at every cost. Kids these days are alarmingly tilted towards such electronic gadgets. I will definitely teach my son about bitcoin once he grows up to 10 years, till then I would love to see him playing with toys and with other kids.

ODI action between Australia and Pakistan has started. Following the first ODI Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first. A power packed test series win for Australia, they're going to dominate Pakistan in the ODI series as well. Pakistan's bowling is bit week today, as Shaheen and Shadab is missing. But, will Hasan Ali take the lead of their bowling attack? Pakistan should restrict them under 300. Aussies current RR more than 7 runs, that stands 300 will be a min score.

Australia are in full control of today's match. They are 190/ in 29 overs, Pakistani bowlers are helpless today in front of mighty Australian batting. Travis Head score 101 runs on 72 balls. Not much success for Pakistani bowlers today. Seems like Australian will score 400 runs.

The performance of the Netherlands was very good. Even after losing 5 wickets for 45 runs, no one thinks that they will be able to give more than 200 targets. Top-order players need to be more responsible. Winning or losing a match depends a lot on the top-order batsmen's performance. Match winning is easier when top-order players play well. We did not expect the Netherlands to win the match or the match to be competitive. New Zealand easily won the match. However, the match would have been competitive if the Dutch players had batted responsibly.

Netherlands top order batting was a total disaster today. If there top 4 players had contributed there part Netherlands would end up giving target of 250+. Nonetheless its a good effort from them since they are not a test playing country. Netherlands are playing  T20I and ODIs very often now which must be giving them a good experience.
236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 29, 2022, 09:02:50 AM

The England management will have to make some difficult decisions right now for the Test format. Otherwise, they will not be able to easily improve their performance in the test format. England has a good enough squad for the T20 ODI format. But in the test format, they are a bit weak now. Maybe they need to find new talented players. Otherwise, some of their important players will have to be sent to rest for their peace of mind. Now if they don't send their important players to rest, we will not see a better performance from them in the upcoming World Cup.

In T20 every team has decent teams be it West Indies, Afghanistan or any other. The point is test is proper cricket format and only seasoned players can perform well in test cricket. ECB has taken right decision by removing Anderson and Broad from test squad, they need such shortlisting in Test also.
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 29, 2022, 07:03:29 AM

Yeah.. never took you seriously at that time. It is difficult to believe actually. West Indies had the home advantage. But they fared poorly against other test nations at home (even against Ireland). So what happened to England? Their bowling was pathetic, but the batting was even worse. So why did the batsmen completely failed in facing a bunch of ordinary looking bowlers from the West Indies? Actually they need to drop some of the useless batsmen rather than kicking out Anderson and Broad from the squad.

Just like India can't give rest to King Kohli, England can't rest Ben Stokes and few other players which you are referring. If  this situation persists then England will become a team as they were in late 90s. Cricket is greatly in decline in countries like West Indies, South Africa and SL. They were  once considered to be best team but now they are at level of associate teams.

I was watching the ODI between Netherlands and New Zealand. At one point, the Netherlands were in trouble, at 45/5, but a partnership between Michael Rippon and Pieter Seelaar took them to a decent position. However, there is a rain delay ongoing right now. I hope that play may resume soon, else New Zealand may lose a few valuable points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League. Right now they are at the 12th position in the points table (although it is due to the fact that they have played far less matches when compared to other teams). 

This means apart from Australia, New Zealand players will also miss start of IPL. Netherlands were 45/5 but they ended up scoring 202 runs in 49.4 overs. New teams must try to play there quota of 50 overs this will give them confidence and with time they will develop experience and also score runs. At the moment NZ need 66 runs in 25 overs.

What a thriller we just have between SA and India. It was a last ball win from SA. India who deserves a place in semis is now out of tournament thanks to WI/SA match that gave WI one point. Nonetheless its so good to see teams like SA, WI and India performing beyond expectations.
Australia is unbeaten so far and seems like SA and Australia will meet in the finals.
240  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This Ukraine issue has me thinking a lot. In a crisis, how valuable is bitcoin? on: March 27, 2022, 06:52:34 AM
Very valuable in my honest opinion since it's digital money which tends to be extremely useful in these crazy situations. FIAT will still outrank it in terms of usefulness though at the end of the day for obvious reasons.

If internet is down in your area, you could always shift to a nearby area where it's up and complete your transactions though you would need to be careful wherever you go.

I have never experienced this kind of situation in my life so far(Hopefully stays the same in the future) which is why the above statements are basically my assumptions.

If you have some asset which you wanna secure in case you are in situation like Ukraine then there is no best way to secure them but to migrate them to bitcoin.

But we can't negate the importance of fiat even during war since we need it to buy daily food items and pay for travel expenses.

One more thing you need to keep in mind before doing such move is that you need to properly backup you seed and private keys, because if you lost them you can never recover your bitcoin.
