New Zealand  : Scotland

New Zealand set a huge target of 226 against Scotland today. New Zealand's collection was 90 runs in the first 10 overs. And they managed to collect 135 runs in the last 10 overs. Especially in the last 3 overs they collected 52 runs. Finn Allen collected 101 runs from 56 balls. And James Neesham scored 30 runs in just 9 balls. I know Scotland won't win. If Scotland can collect more than 150 then I think it is a good collection for them.

A massive century by Finn Allen and a great contribution by Neesham helped New Zealand to 225/5, after 20 overs. Will the hosts be able to chase this down since this is the highest T20I total in Scotland ever! I would say quite challenging, but not impossible. Scottish openers make a 50-run partnership with a decent strike rate. We can hope that both of them can go big to meet the target.

Barcelona's squad is very strong. I would say their attack is the best attack in La Liga right now.
From where do you get these statistics?

They haven't even played a single match in La Liga, and Barcelona's attack is the best? 
I didn't know that fans really get too carried away that easily Grin
It can't be confirmed as a deadly attack if you haven't played. Maybe fans who are very enthusiastic about Barcelona first appearance will really dream of it. It's natural but it also shouldn't be forgotten that other clubs are still contenders to consider if La Liga has already started. Not only is the squad now considered perfect but we also want to see that soon on the pitch.

Fans of Barcelona are satisfied with their game-play after the start of the pre-season match. While they may be overwhelmed in some cases, the amount of work is considerable. As a result of Barcelona's first appearance, we can expect some serious competition, as the current Barca squad under Xavi is expected to compete in the La Liga fairly strongly. In the preseason game, I had a lot of fun. As the season begins, I'm hoping to see the same level of performance and momentum.

Since the Russian-Ukraine war has caused gas prices to rise at a new level, Nigeria is being considered as an alternative supplier of gas to the European Union. Whenever unwise leaders gather, sanctions boomerang, and a new world order is imminent. This high demand, constrained supply global scenario presents Nigeria with an opportunity to raise oil prices steeply. Currently, Nigerians cannot afford to buy their own gas because of rapid inflation. Winter is coming, so it is uncertain whether Nigeria will be a secure supplier.

There are rumors about Christiano Ronaldo joining Atletico Madrid, but the Atletico fans don't want him, so they have started a petition on Twitter. Grin I totally understand them. Ronaldo scored lots of goals against Atletico in the past. He's not the player he used to be, so he can't be a leader or a top scorer anymore.

I suggest you not to be very sure of that.  Grin  He is aging and getting really old when we consider this sport. However Ronaldo still can be really effective at the team he goes to. I think that Manchester United are a very good example for this. He scored 24 goals in 37 games in total last season. This is really striking statistics for a 37-year-old striker I mean. He is still in a very solid shape physically as well. If he returns to the La Liga, I'm pretty sure that he can contribute more than Suarez's last season performance for Atletico Madrid.
Is it possible for Atlético to sign Cristiano Ronaldo? Whether it's Atletico Madrid or another club, we are concerned that the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United is fading. As a 37-year-old, he is still chasing individual records, but teams are now looking for team players. Suppose he is chasing the Champions League and ends up with a team that finishes 3rd in the group stages and goes straight to Europa. Cristiano, however, thinks differently. There might be a better plan in his head.

There is unfortunate news for Sri Lanka as bad light strikes again. It looks like a lot of overs were lost at the end of day four. It is now necessary for Sri Lanka to take 9 wickets tomorrow, while Pakistan must score 419 runs. As long as Imam-Babar get off to a good start tomorrow, the game seems to be heading towards a draw. In order to seal the victory in this series, their attitude must be to survive throughout the day and draw the game.
2366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 26, 2022, 10:13:42 AM
Atletico Madrid's interest in Ronaldo seems to be higher these days. However I still find the transfer probability as not very high. Because Ronaldo's wage demand would be quite high. He is already earning so much money at Manchester United. It depends on how much space Atletico Madrid have in their wage budget of course. They haven't been active in the transfer market for a long time so it is difficult to be sure of anything for now. But if they are serious then they had better finish the deal before the season starts.
I would even prefer christiano Ronaldo to remain in Manchester United than to move to Atletico Madrid,  whether Manchester United are playing the champions league or not its still a better team for Ronaldo than Atletico Madrid.  Their wont be any difference if Ronaldo eventually go to Atletico Madrid, to me it seems Ronaldo will still remain in Manchester united , he will be having a meeting with ten Hag  to what is the way forward and the club still insist that Ronaldo is not for sale.

As Manchester United's future is uncertain, Cristiano Ronaldo flew back to Manchester today. Hopefully, Man United will find a solution to his issue. It is his responsibility to uphold the contract he signed. No doubt Eric still needs to speak to him before he can go back to work. It is important that he stays here and honors his contract. Nevertheless, I still believe that he had a point when he stated clearly that he wanted to leave the club.

There is a tendency to put money in the crypto market for now, many people believe that the investment source here is very safe in conditions of a weak dollar, the trend for bitcoin is also heading to the recovery stage, although this will not fully recover in the future, therefore many investors have starting to re-enter the crypto market, so this is a permanent choice to make purchases, just need to wait for a complete recovery to get maximum profit and hopefully this year will be the next step of achieving ATH
The dollar is still very strong at the moment and is not yet in a weak state. If you don't believe me, try to look at the current dollar price on any exchange as well as stable coins whose price is adjusted to the current dollar. There must be an increase in the price now. And other cryptocurrencies are now still experiencing a very small percentage drop and I don't think it will be that long either because the price bounce up in this month will be back in the market even though it's still very far from the ATH it used to be.
Right now it is true that the dollar is strong, in fact the price increase is much more stable compared to last month, the percentage of cryptocurrencies has decreased a little but there is also a big one, I don't think to find new ATH in the next few weeks, but I believe for cryptocurrencies others will experience a slow recovery going forward, if you look at the current market scheme
Why is this happening? Since you said we're going lower, I'm convinced. Taking into account the lost amounts when bitcoin fell with the dollar, it will probably take a few years before we see money flowing back into crypto. Market sentiment is the opposite of what I believe. When the majority is poor, don't think like the majority. At the moment, the poor are bearish, making it difficult to reach new ATHs soon. As of yet, we have not seen a bottom. However, I am not convinced that it has been floored.

Don't know if it has something to do with the pitch or it is just the inconsistent nature of Team Pakistan as you never know what's coming next on their part.  Huh

Same pitch where Sri Lankans managed to put a total close to 400. The Pakistani spinners (Mohammad Nawaz and Yasir Shah) picked up 5 wickets between them, but they were expensive as well. But on the other hand, the Lankan spinners (Prabath Jayasuriya, Ramesh Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva) never allowed the Pakistani batsmen to settle. I mentioned this before. The lack of quality spin options is becoming a big handicap for Pakistan, especially when they play against their South Asian rivals such as India and Sri Lanka.
Regardless of the situation, Pakistan must play a little more aggressively, although they appear to be under pressure and fear. Test cricket is something you predict until the match is over. On day three, we'll see where it ends, as SL currently has the upper hand. As a result, Sri Lanka spinners will dominate throughout the test match, which is already over and done with, a huge lead awaits the lions. Pakistani victory would require them to be dismissed below 150 in their second innings, which will be tough.
2369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 26, 2022, 05:01:59 AM

It is also clear that Paris Saint-Germain is not desperate to keep Neymar. The club wants to cut down on expenses and they also want to rebuild the team around Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. Neymar Junior is not a humble player and his personality clash with Mbappe would cause more harm than good to PSG. The best option he has now is to leave the team even if it would lead to a cut in his pay. Age is no longer on his side and he is always prone to injury, hence he should not expect much from the transfer market. If he still wants to remain in PSG, then he must work harder to improve his play and be humble.
What happens is that the attitude or rather the personality of the player Neymar Jr has always been like that, he looks like he's arrogant, although I think the player is really humble, and apart from that the player has a lot of competition, he's a player who always wants to dominate, even in Barcelona he always wanted to kick the free kicks when he knew that Messi was in charge, with the Uruguayan at PSG he also had his friction, it will be to wait and see how the player performs in the league.


Regardless of what he does, critics will criticize him. Neymar is being ridiculed as if he's not a prime rib pack in the world of football. It is not necessary for Neymar to prove himself to anyone, as he recently spoke out. Considering the stats, his only crime is giving into injury. If their coach agrees with his play mode, then he don't have to prove themselves right to anyone. The Brazilian star is one of the best players in the world and a samba boy. All these controversy could be avoided if he was disciplined and focused. In the big stages such as the UCL, PSG needs him to remain consistent and deliver.

reportedly kounde chose barcelona over other teams and this is a good thing for the barcelona defense.  in the elclasico match a few days ago (even though it was only a pre-season match), it was clear that the barcelona squad was already extraordinary, so with the entry of kounde to barca it will add strength to barca again in the back line, hopefully kounde to barca no more obstacles.
The pre-season match is an initial assessment for Barcelona who are already on the path to a better strength and it will also provide an even more exciting spectacle next season. The Barcelona squad now is already strong because it is Xavi's attempt to bring Barcelona back to the champions they have wanted all along. Hopefully Barcelona can dominate La Liga and also the Champions League again next season.
Congratulation to Barca for an overall good performance. During FC Barcelona's pre-season match against Real Madrid, they were very compact and dominated throughout. The Barcelona team was at their best, and we're looking forward to an even more entertaining next season. Hopefully, La Liga and the Champions League will once again be dominated by Barcelona.

Frenkie De Jong has been under pressure to reduce his salary for a long time at Barcelona, and it's hard to survive these days. In response to the financial difficulties Barca is experiencing at the moment, Xavi decided to reduce Frenkie De Jong's salary by half. In order to be involved in Barca, the Dutchman must make an effort. De Jong is notable this season for not bowing to anyone. Probably he has the best legal representation advising him, as he knows his worth.

The pitch condition looks like it is a batting pitch, and the bowlers are not getting much chance. Still Sri Lanka lost 6 wickets. If you want to win on such a pitch, I think you should collect around 450-500. Karan was able to perform well in the last match against the Pakistani batsmen. Sri Lanka will not be able to win if their collection is not big. But Sri Lanka can now stay at the crease and try to draw the match. Then Sri Lanka will have to survive at least two sessions at the crease today
I do not think Srilanka can set a target of 400+ runs. They have lost 6 wickets and there isn't much batting left after this pair gets out. At the moment the pitch looks suitable for batters but as the days pass by the pitch will break and will become suitable for spinners. Batting would not be that easy for any side. Pakistan bowling attack is not looking that good. Hopefully day 2 they might be able to get a couple of wickets quickly.
In Day 2, Pakistan bowlers claimed the rest of Sri Lankan wickets.
At 378, Sri Lanka's first innings comes to an end. Before being bowled out, Sri Lanka's lower order scored some important runs. I would like to see if the SL bowlers can afford aggressive strategies and pressure with this total. On the other hand, Pakistan should bat well and take the lead early in the game. On this wicket, Pakistan has the potential to score 500+? After losing one wicket before lunch break, Pakistan is at 15/1.

If it was not for Axar Patel then I think India would have lost this match. The last ball of the West Indies innings the batters did not run for a single, they should have, if they had then the end result of this match would have been different. Overall a very close and entertaining match it was. Kyle Mayers contribution as a batter and bowler did help the WI team.

I am sure India would not have won this match without Axar Patel's superb innings. India was able to win because of the extraordinary innings of 64 runs off 35 balls. India batted very slowly at the start of their innings. At the same time, they lost 3 wickets before collecting 100 runs. Iyer and Samson played well. After a long time, I saw Sanju Samson play well in an international match. If he can maintain his consistency, he can become a regular player in the Indian national team.
I am also not happy with the performance of Shubam Gill. Given this incredible opportunity he tends to get out as an ameature player. The first match he got run out because of his laid back attitude and yesterday's match he was caught because of his poor choice of shot. He is no doubt a good batter but in the last two matches he has consistently showed that Indian cannot rely on him as an opening batter.
As India have already won the series, he can be given opportunity to open the innings. Maybe when there is no winning pressure he might make a better start. If not, he could've been given chance to perform in the middle order. Based on the performance he should've been taken to the top as opener.

Yesterday it was Axar Patel and every time relying on lower order players won't get winning results. In every match based on the performance of the openers the scoring will be good as well as adds confidence to the lower bottom to perform well.

If your main bowler must finish the game with the bat, it is an inappropriate situation for top order batsmen. Although it was pleasing to see India fight back strongly, I have to say that it was a total team effort. The loss of wickets early in the game couldn't make a drastic difference. The brilliant partnership between Sanju and Iyer kept them in the game, but it was Axar's brilliant hitting that helped India score 300+ runs. An unbeaten 64 runs from Axar Patel leads India to victory over the West Indies. A 2-0 lead for the visitors in the three-match ODI series is unassailable.

Many people saw cryptocurrency as a good way of making money in exemption of fiat currency.

Kinda true. However, not everyone knew how Bitcoin works.
Many believe because they have heard the hype and might only got interested because they've heard stories from the early adopters who has been enjoying their lambo and lavish lifestyle.
Many people also lost their money with Btc simply because they believe Bitcoin could give them fortune in just a few months. Until they experienced the bear market, that where they turned to become a weak hands by selling in fear that they might lost everything. They don't have any idea what will Bitcoin brings in the long run.

The points you make are good, but be careful before the meeting about longing and shorting. The fact that Bitcoin would rise from the dead every single time made sense to me. It is unfortunate that many people make assumptions and allow emotions to cloud their judgement. You can make profit on this market by reading between the lines instead of being emotionally driven and jumping the gun. Don't follow other story lines, instead make your own. There's still a lot of buying in the market.

India's two openers Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan are batting superbly. India did not lose any wicket even in 12 overs. And they managed to collect 87 runs. Shikhar Dhawan scored 33 runs off 36 balls and Shubman Gill scored 50 runs off 36 balls. If West Indies fails to take 2/3 of India's wickets before 20 overs then India will set a target of more than 350 in this match.
Shikhar Dhawan wanted to get a century with out any pressure but he didn't do it. I must say he batted responsibly. He is one of the reliable batsmen in team. But the match was at the heart of the excitement towards the end. Especially in West Indies cricket they can get this kind of victory. West Indies need 15 runs in last 6 balls, they finally managed to score 11 runs and lost the match. But Siraj in this case bowling very intelligently in the last delivery where West indies managed to take 1 run.
On 97 out, Shikhar Dhawan is unfortunate! Despite playing well, he did not score a century. It was thrilling to watch India win the first ODI in a last-over thriller. While Nicholas Pooran's team was nearly able to chase down 309, Siraj bowled very intelligently in this case. Unfortunately, WI wasn't able to make it to the end. The team fought well until the very last ball. West Indies also suffered from dropped catches and misfielding.

Identifying the market is the first step. To be successful in trading, you need to stay agile over the long term. Those who react to market changes the quickest will perform best since the market is always changing. Never throw away your winning trades and strategies, and always try new ones until the ones that work stop working. As a final point, no strategy will work 100% of the time, so make sure your winners more than offset your losses by using risk management.

Soon the summer transfer window will close. Many of the teams that have succeeded in bringing in players who are their target, there are also teams that have to be willing to lose players after not getting an agreement. The latest and hottest is about Cristiano Ronaldo which until now there is no clarity. There are so many speculations about him that have become the news which in my opinion raises the pros and cons.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo is so eager to leave Man United, he is willing to reduce his salary! His willingness to leave United is a result of what they offered him when nobody glanced at his resume twice. A lot of rumors are spreading about him, so many speculations are being made. Eventually, I will stop believing the news about Ronaldo as nonsense and unworthy of my time. Ronaldo is desperate to play in the UCL, that's for sure.

West Indies vs India

The first match of the series between the West Indies and India is taking place now. West won the toss and decided to field. Many people thought that Virat Kohli would be given a chance in this series. But neither Rohit Sharma nor Virat Kohli are in the squad. Perhaps they have been rested from the ODI format. They may be trying to prepare themselves better for the T20 format.

Additionally, Ravindra Jadeja will be unavailable for the first two ODIs against West Indies. It will be hard to replace Jadeja due to his energetic fielding. In the opening WIvIND ODI, WI captain Nicholas Pooran chooses to bowl first! Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill are both batting well. If Virat Kohli had been given a chance, he would have had the chance to achieve a return to form. Sanju, however, will play his second ODI. I hope he takes advantage of the opportunities and succeeds.

Sri Lanka and Pakistan played an interesting first test, with Pakistani batters displaying good resilience. Now we're moving on to the second test. There is no Shaheen Shah Afridi to lead Pakistan in the crucial second SLvPAK Test. Shaheen will be missed as he destroyed SL in the first inning and bowled only seven overs in the second inning due to an injury. Considering the pitch does not offer anything for fast bowlers, his miss won't be costly for Pakistan.

A second time, Sadio Mane has been named African player of the year in 2022. Congratulations to Sadio Mané. It's totally deserved, since he played a major role in Senegal qualifying for the World Cup and winning the AFCON 2022. In the World Cup, I pray that he has a wonderful outing. There is no other player who is more deserving of this award than him. I congratulate you on being the Coolest King on the West Coast.
