Pink ball game favors fast bowlers so if next pitch favoring seamers then i doubt if Kuldeep is going to be selected in team or in squad. Indian might fancy 3 seamers (Bumrah-Ishant-Siraj) and 2  spin allrounder ( Axar-Ashwin) in the squad.
I have seen some matches played in the stadium during the recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the pitch favors the spinners and some of the fast bowlers were economical as well, it is difficult to say how the pitch behaves for a Test match but spinners will be effective in the final two days and even in this match Kuldeep Yadav did not get much opportunity as he got only 12 overs the entire match while Ashwin bowled 41.5 overs and Axar Patel bowled 41 overs as well.

If majority of the load is shared by two bowlers then they should add another batsman who could bowl those overs rather than picking another fast bowler.

Shakib al Hassan to Bangladesh is what Virat Kohli is to India and Steve Smith is to Australia. Without him, the team will always be lacking morale and fighting spirit. There is not enough depth in the player pool for Bangladesh, to win matches against quality sides in the absence of Shakib. Anyway, Bangladesh should concentrate on their next assignment, which is going to be the tour of New Zealand.
Shakib Al Hasan might be their best player but to loose a match without his presence is not justifiable as they never had a huge total and they are playing in their home turf and to loose a game just shows how West Indies played with a new team and performed well just like India did in Australia. This is the first time they won in a long time in Asian conditions and the props should go to the entire team.

On a separate note, Jack is already having a lot of issues with the Indian government. The government officials recently threatened Twitter India to ban more than a thousand Twitter accounts, that are critical of the government. When there was reluctance form the part of the Twitter India team, they were threatened with massive financial penalties and the management was threatened with imprisonment.
The issue with twitter and Jack Dorsey with the Indian government is that the government wanted to use them as their propaganda tool and to ban any user who questions the government and Twitter informed the government that they cannot use them as a propaganda tool and ban users and it will be  used as a free speech media and do you know the RSS and BJP started their own version of twitter  Cheesy.

It is silly to even talk about them and how they overcome the opposition and it is literally like a dictatorship as there are evidence that came out a few days ago that they literally plant evidence in your computer to sent you to jail for a long time if you raise your voice against them.

I don't know how harsh the Indian laws are, but I think this particular case will be a show trial. 
They were caught in Bangladesh and not in India and they have a strict ban on gambling while in India online gambling is a grey area.

Thank you for the correction. Of course Bangladesh, not India.
Do you have any information on what punishment guys might face for breaking into a stadium during a ban on mass gatherings due to a pandemic?
From what i understand which i saw online they will be fined a minor amount of 100 Taka which is less than two dollar and an imprisonment of one month as per the laws and it is nothing big for someone who have the audacity to travel to Bangladesh and trying to take advantage of the telecast delay and then somehow manage to enter the stadium when audience are not allowed  Grin.

It is absolutely rude to prepare wickets like this for visitors, England need to score 130 runs to avoid the follow on
If that is the case England somehow avoided the follow on as they are all out for 134 runs and now India need to score some runs and they already have a lead of 195 runs and even if India is able to score around 200 runs in the second innings they are safe to win the match easily and since the pitch is really difficult to bat it is going to be a challenge for anyone to bat.

The odds are not that great to be but with the win India will level the series as there is no way they are going to loose the match with 195 runs lead.


Bangladesh still need 88 runs to win the match and they lost 5 wickets and things are getting real tight, expecting Bangladesh to win but it is going to be a tight match as one more wicket and their tail is exposed.

Did anyone heard about Bobby Green collapsing after weight-ins? That just reminded me about bodybuilders and how they are preparing for weight-ins in similar crazy way with kidney failures, dehydration and other issues.
We all saw many times that after weight-ins some guys gain so many weight before the fight and there is something seriously wrong with this system and things need to be changed.
Weight cutting is a major issue in MMA and majority of the fighters cut too much weight, some of the fighters fighting in 155 pound division walks around 180 to 190 pounds, Alexander Volkanovski who is the 145 pound champion at one point was weighing over 200 pounds, these fighters will cut huge amount of weight which is really dangerous and in my opinion there should be a standard and they need to adopt the One FC method as they can only fight in the walk around weight which means they will not allow you to dehydrate just loose too much weight and there is a ratio on how much you can hydrate back which is fair and healthy for the fighter.


UFC 258 is live and i am waiting for the main event, i am expecting an upset and Burns winning the belt  Grin.
2407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Three Indians arrested over illegal betting in ZACS on: February 13, 2021, 05:51:11 PM
The article is lack of information so what we can do here is speculating.
Yahoo says that they are arrested on suspicion of gambling, there is a lack of clarity as how much delay will be there while telecasting even to take advantage .

I don't know how harsh the Indian laws are, but I think this particular case will be a show trial. 
They were caught in Bangladesh and not in India and they have a strict ban on gambling while in India online gambling is a grey area.

It's crazy to think it's possible to game the system like this.  Are results not available live for their audience?  This seems like a standard for anything that is to be bet on.  If this wasn't their first time, they must have thought they found a loophole to win every bet. 
May be there is a delay while telecasting the matches and these gamblers thought about taking advantage in live bets. The reason they were caught is because they were somehow inside the stadium when no one was allowed in the audience because of strict COVID protocol, if not there is no way they will be behind bars for making bets inside stadium.

Today, very good bowling from South African bowlers give shocking score card to Pakistan now they are in complete control Hendricks and Biljon doing good job for visitors 47 runs from 53 balls is not a serious business for them series is alive hopefully now tomorrow match could be good to watch.
Hendricks and Biljon back in the pavilion, the run rate is not big and so there is not much to worry, but they need to improve their performance as they always loose wickets during crucial situation and if Pakistan is able to pick a couple of wickets yet again then they will be under pressure. The smart move is to rotate the strike and win the match easily but they always make things difficult  Grin.

Edit: South Africa won the match easily.

That is a huge amount for this band of online criminals, targeting high profile celebrities, (didn't mentioned who), and if they can do this to big targets, I think ordinary crypto enthusiasts are vulnerable to his sim swapping attacks so just be careful.
If you are storing your coins in mobile wallets then it is easy for criminals to hack your devices as anyone can get these tools freely available and any noob can hack any device with these tools. The criminals are caught which means they are not that great in what they are doing and might have used warez from third party providers and malwares available online, the dumbest criminals and thought they would get away with it  Cheesy.


2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 13, 2021, 12:50:25 PM
Now new one  Grin
50 from Pant and 30s for both Ashwin and Axar.

Pant vs Leach
Ravichandran Ashwin is back in the pavilion and Rishabh Pant is still batting along with Axar Patel and anything they score beyond 350 will be an added bonus as the tail end is really weak and with the pitch turning a lot in the first innings the Indian spinners will have a good time bowling in this wicket as the three spinners have different approach, Axar with stump to stump line and wrist spin by Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin at one end will be a deadly combination.
2411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What happened with Dogecoin faucets? on: February 13, 2021, 10:32:16 AM
I remember the day when Dogecoin faucets like FreeDoge.co.in and MoonDogeco.in offered free coins for anyone starting into crypto. Before the Dogecoin craze, I've used to claim free coins every once in a while. But it seems those days are over as the aforementioned faucets have closed up shop. I've been looking for other DOGE faucets, but they're all dead.
It is clearly evident that the rally in price killed all these doge faucets as it is not a profitable venture to give out free doge without any substantial revenue stream. Faucets was killed by google when they imposed the ban of advertisement in these faucets and these doge faucets continue to exist because the price was nominal but not anymore.
2412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 13, 2021, 08:44:58 AM
Don't worry..

200 from Rohit and 100 from Rahane coming in this inning with record partnership for 4th wicket.  Grin After that fifer for Axar Patel and Kuldeep, followed by 7 wicket haul for Ashwin in the second inning.

India winning the game, easy peasy!  Grin
Easy game for India. When Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli went for a duck i thought India is going to repeat the Adelaide magic  Cheesy. Luckily Rohit Sharma stood his ground even though he played some reckless shot and Ajinkya Rahane is showing some solid defense and hopefully India will be able to score above 400 runs.

England and India resting players and i am surprised with the exclusion of Jasprit Bumrah, Anderson and Bess.
2413  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jay-Z and Dorsey Bitcoin? but why on: February 13, 2021, 08:22:37 AM
I don't know how much we can trust this news, since the Indian government is planning to make ownership of cryptocurrency a criminal offense. That means that Jack Dorsey can be jailed, if he travels to India. The African governments are not that retarded, but recently the Nigerian government issued a banking ban on Bitcoin and now bank accounts can't be used to trade in cryptocurrency.
Jack Dorsey is a billionaire and hence he will be having a team of lawyers to take care of him if any government tries to intimidate and more over he is an American citizen and India will not mess with any entrepreneur billionaires from US as the recuperation of the damage created if they take any actions will be really big.

Will see whether the bill will be passed on banning it, i am still expecting regulations to make the market safer and not a complete ban.
2414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jack Dorsey and Jay-Z to allocate 500 BTC to Bitcoin dev on: February 12, 2021, 08:57:27 PM
Big shout out to Jack Dorsey who is battling the right wing extremist government in India who was putting pressure to Twitter to ban all the opposition tweets who is questioning the bad governance and anyone who protest against them and yesterday he came out with the decision to protect free speech and more over there are rumors about the government planning to ban cryptocurrency altogether and launching their version. I am glad someone is standing against these dictatorship and allocating funds to make things better for everyone.
2415  Economy / Economics / Re: Mastercard Bitcoin Global Adoption? on: February 12, 2021, 02:43:36 PM
Anyone remember years past. Bitcoin scaling debates. Mass hysteria. Over excited randoms claiming bitcoin needed 2+ megabyte block sizes to have a prayer of competing with mastercard. Many saying bitcoin could manage 5 transactions per second. While credit cards like mastercard can execute thousands of transactions per second. It was strange how many coordinated @ simultaneously to make identical arguments. Almost as if bot farms were broadcasting the same message over multiple accounts across the internet.
Who does not like BTCitcoin to scale which can manage hundreds and thousands of transactions per second but we are yet to find a solution but we have lightning network where you can send multiple transactions of that scale. The debate is not about master card accepting BTCitcoin so that we could survive, the discussion at that time was how to scale BTCitcoin  Wink.


Now we have mastercard striving to be more like BTC and cryptocurrencies. Paradigm shift. Historic moment.
Mastercard is not striving to be like BTC, they are yet to provide the details on how they are going to start accepting cryptocurrencies, sure it is a historic moment when a major transaction network accommodate BTCitcoin .
2416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 12, 2021, 11:49:16 AM
The thing with Bellator is they like to make match ups with one guy being waaay better than the other guy.  
Bellator usually does that kind of match ups but we now another big time debut coming up, Anthony Rumble Johnson and Yoel Romero will be facing each other and making their debut in April. The only thing i do not like with them is moving the lighter division champion to face the upper division champion, in UFC we call that the double championship fight but in Bellator the difference in size in obvious.

And yup, I could see Burns winning here too.  Dunno..  Just a gut feeling.  Lol.  Maybe I just don’t like Usman that much cos he’s kinda boring.  
Even i do think Burns has the ability to defeat Usman, Burns might win by submission and that is what i expect if they ever go to the ground.
2417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: isn't a crypto market really funny? on: February 11, 2021, 07:42:34 PM
I think I will reach this conclusion after several years of activity in the crypto market. God forbid, we have thousands of currencies that are better than doge coin, doge coin has not even updated its code, it belongs to the day it was created, that is, its creator says I sold all the capital
The technical development in Doge is slow but that does not mean that the code is not updated, they last updated in 2019 and they are following the BTCitcoin core code updates till now and most probably if they upgrade again they will follow the same path.

but one day it eats 100% positive, Ilan Mask drinks water, Bitcoin becomes more expensive, Ilan Mask sleeps, Bitcoin becomes more expensive, everything is abnormal, nothing really works for us, and I'm a fan of two fires, but isn't a crypto market really funny?
It is Elon Musk  Tongue. The price did not rally because of him breathing but his company reported to invest $1.5 billion and it is natural to see the market responding to it and much before that the market rallied 400% even before Musk tweeting .

So it is not a one man army creating all these hype, there are many investors investing heavily and you can take it as silly depending upon the amount of coins you are holding Tongue.
2418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 11, 2021, 04:57:02 PM
they need 29 runs from 12 balls Fortune and Pretorius is on crease look like its end for them because both not good enough for doing this all at the end of match.
From a situation where South Africa had no chance Pretorius and Fortuin took the match close as they need a hit over the boundary to win the match in the last ball but they only managed to score 2 runs in the last ball and Pakistan was able to win by 3 runs. I expected Pakistan to win the match easily but South Africa fought hard and manage to restrict the Pakistan score to 169 runs and they started well but then Pakistan was able to pick wickets and create pressure and over all it was a really close match.

Why is Faf du Plessis and Quinton de Kock not in the team ?.
2419  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: FreeWallet locked even Elon Musk. I still don't trust them. on: February 10, 2021, 09:13:33 PM
Elon Musk made a mistake using this FreeWallet but in the process he is educating millions of his followers not to use wallets that you don't hold your private keys and something that can lock you at anytime.
Every tweet Elon Musk makes will have an impact in the market and FreeWallet will try their best to sort the issues rather than challenging him as it will kill their business altogether and inadvertently it is the best publicity for every investor to hold the coins where you have control over your private key.

what is funny now is that everyone is making him suggestions and shilling their own wallets with paid twitter armies, like for example Binance recommending Trustwallet or Safepal hardware wallet giving him and EVERY Tesla employee for free Roll Eyes
I think that Elon now needs to learn importance of Open Source wallets, and for Bitcoin that would be Blue wallet app or Electrum.
Every company knows the advertising power he has in his words and if he endorses their wallets they make millions of dollars Cheesy.
I am certain Elon is well aware of open source wallets.

Previous 2020 covid crash btc went down.
But in next finacial crash what will btc do ?
You cannot have an concrete response on how the market will perform when there is a financial crisis, if the institutional investors think that it is much safer to invest in the cryptocurrency market then we will see the price rallying to levels we might thought it was possible.

Going even lower ? Or higher becouse people lose confidence and put all money in btc ?
If i buy now btc near 50k and it goes 2k then its very bad investment
I doubt people will invest everything in BTCitcoin, during crisis people usually invest in gold and that is what we have seen throughout history and we will see a share in BTCitcoin as well.
