By Lunch England have managed to score 212 runs losing 5 wickets in 56 overs. Stokes and Foakes are in good position developing partnership. Both in the crease will easily help the team reach 300+ runs. Right now England lead by 61 runs. England will try to make a lead of atleast 150 - 200 runs to have a comfortable win.
I was so confident that Bairstowes will bat till the end unfortunately he got out and was only able to score 49 runs. I pity this bugger who was capable of destroying two big teams in the past. I would rather say a few months back. i also feel that he might be out of form in this series and that is what might have led to his sudden downfall.

Stokes and Foakes (sounds rhyming) have taken his position and are doing quite well. These two might have released him from the pressure he might have been facing a few months back. I lead 200 plus runs by the English side could be a match winner if this side achieves it.

I doubt it!

Poms are off to a good start in 2nd test.

Kinda surprising team selection from the Proteas. They left out Marco Jansen, in the last match he contributed with the bat and ball both. Instead, they selected another spinner in the playing XI. They must be thinking of some turn on 4th-5th day. Otherwise, there is no other explanation for having 2 spinners. 


I do not think that this match will last more than 3 days, just like the first one. The English pitch and the conditions are suited for bowlers. The English are also not good with spinners and therefore they might have added another spinner. I hope England is able to get those 40 runs and put on a decent lead today. I also feel it will only happen if Jonny Barstowe remains on the pitch for the whole day today.

Did anyone saw this?

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-eyes-4-billion-plus-media-rights-money-for-indian-market-1330536

ICC eyes $4 billion-plus media rights money for Indian market

Quote
Nobody can be certain but here are some facts. In the last cycle, the ICC sold its rights for just over US$2 billion. But that was a different, linear world: that figure was for all rights on all platforms globally. For this cycle, the ICC is believed to have a benchmark figure in mind, an "asking price" of $1.44 billion for a four-year deal and $4 billion (1.44 multiplied by 2.Cool for an eight-year deal. That is double the last deal for eight years, and it is only a benchmark figure - so the minimum they expect - and it is only for the India market.

I think that this figure is a bit too optimistic one from the ICC. They are thinking that the IPL was sold for $6 billion (for 5 year period) and therefore they can sell their rights for $4 billion, since it covers 8-year period. But IPL involves far more matches when compared to the ICC tournaments, and another fact is that matches involving India are not very numerous in world cups. On top of all this, some of the Indian media companies are not very happy with the lack of transparency in the bidding process.

Well! IPL is only for men and ICC tournaments cover both Men and Women. Therefore they might be able to get that amount considering the rapid rise of women's cricket in India. The time frame is for eight years and WIPL is going to launch next year, therefore, the craze for both men's and women's cricket will go up in the coming years. If you consider those factors then I think they are asking a reasonable amount.

Apparently, South Africa opted for batting after winning the toss, and what might have led them to this crisis situation? 97/7 is the scoreboard and they are in the worst situation as of now. I know it is just the first day out of 5 days but still, I am clueless as to why they got into this situation.

The first test match was dominated by the proteas but after analyzing the second match. I wonder did they become overconfident or if were they trying to experiment. I am clueless and I do not have an answer.

Still, a few more days to go, I hope they work on their problem and do what is required to be the top-ranking team in test cricket. If you guys have an answer to this issue then do quote me.

Please i have a few question on the merits system
Is it possible for a user as a newbie to send merits?
If yes, How many?
and how many can you receive as a Newbie?

To my greatest surprise, your account was registered since January this year and yet you're unable to understand or identify the use of merit system, then what exactly have you been busy posting with your activities nearly 200, well it's never too late, back to your question, i think the maximum that can be sent per day to a single user is 50 while am not sure if there's limitation to that you can receive per day.


There is no problem with him or her having an activity of 182. The problem here is that he is here only to participate in Bounty Campaigns and now he realised that earnings are not as good as told by his/her friend or a family member.

When these Bounty participants realize that there is nothing like a permanent income with Bounties as it used to be back in those days then they ask questions, about how to get merits or if they have multiple alt accounts and want their main account to rise the rank they would as such stupid question as OP did!

This individual might be doing the same.

Sikandar Raza remember this guy! After watching his incredible batting. I think he might be someone whose name might pop up inthe next IPL auction. His whole innings today might rind us of some of the great legends of cricket. He single handedly destroyed every Indian bowler. If he had someone on the other side then this match would have had a different end result.
2609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 22, 2022, 01:54:31 PM
I expected India to score beyond 300 runs after following Shubham Gills performance with Ishant kishan. Unfortunately, these tow incredible batters lost their wickets due to lose shots. But, if I have to blame a batter to be irritating then that would be KL Rahul, another incredible batter going the Kohli way without even creating records like him.

I still don't understand again why he opted to open the innings. He knew that Shubham Gill is in his terrific form and he should have allowed both Shikhar Dhawan and him to open. I assume he wanted to prove his selection for Asia cup but I feel this guy is not a team player but another individual who wants to only gain name and fame for personal reason.

He got selected in the team taht plays the Asia cup and with players like him and Kohli things look pretty bad for India.
2610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 22, 2022, 09:55:16 AM
As expected K L Rahul opened with Shikhar Dhawan in today's match. He was only able to score 30 runs from 46 balls. He seems to struggle to bat whenever he is given the position of the  captain. Shubham Gills incredible form continues. He might score his first century today. India might also leave a target of more than 300 runs for Zimbabwe in today's final match.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 22, 2022, 06:39:45 AM
Pakistan and India are almost in the same level in terms of gameplay. The performance variation at times makes one better over the other. With the Asian Cup, only the India vs Pakistan match will be discussed big. This is all because of the importance and a kind of market making for cricket. Even if the player watches it as a game, the media will give it big hype for money making.

I have a feeling that Pakistan has the upper hand this time. They won the last T20I encounter between these two sides. And on top of that, Virat Kohli is out of form while Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are in terrific shape. But one disadvantage for Pakistan is that their strike bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi won't be available for the tournament. That may not be an issue if other bowlers step up their attack. As seen from yesterday's game, second-string Pakistani pacers (Naseem, Wasim and Shahnawaz) looks as if they are in terrific form.
It is ver hard to predict a T20 game and that also an India vs Pakistan one. Both teams have issue in bowling lineup and both have good batters who can hit hard and destroy opposition bowlers. In the end all that matter is whether the players were able to handle the pressure. On paper the Indian side is much better than the Pakistani side.

Zimbabwe VS India

The final match of the series between Zimbabwe and India will be played today. Like the first two matches, this match is also likely to be completely one-sided. Maybe India will win this match as usual.

Zimbabwe set a target of 190 runs in the first match. In the second match, their performance deteriorated further. They lost all the wickets for just 161 runs. However, the Zimbabwean bowlers were able to take 5 wickets from India. If Zimbabwe's two openers don't play well, I don't see any chance of their performance improving
This series is not generating any kind of interest in me. Zimbabwe is looking so helpless when they are playing with this team of India which not the even the A team. If they win today's match then they won't be disappointed with their overall performance. Although I doubt whether they will win or again get defeated. I am still trying to understand how did they defeat Bangladesh so comfortably whereas in this series they are struggling to score even 200 runs. 
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 21, 2022, 03:20:59 PM
Pakistan VS Netherland

Pakistan as usual is not a team to rely on as they as a team depend on a few players to perform and win for them. Amazingly this team only scored 206 runs in the last ODI against Netherland. A T20 match between big teams will have a chasing score of more than 200 runs. Pakistan A team is struggling to play against a team ranked 15th in the ODI format.

Netherland has already lost 4 wickets and has already scored 114 runs. They still have a lot of overs in their hands but they lack the experience to play in such a situation. But, even if they lose this match I am sure they will lose a lot of experience.
I still hope Pakistan does not lose this match.
2614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 21, 2022, 03:04:19 PM
Still don't understand what went wrong with England batting. They are now becoming overdependent on Joe Root, at least for the tests. If he fails to perform, then England has no chance of winning the match. IMO, their bowlers did OK.. but leaked runs against lower order batsmen such as Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj. And Ben Stokes used to be such a crucial member for England, but his batting is not consistent nowadays. When was the last time he managed to hit a century? In terms of bowling, he is doing alright. But he is not contributing with the bat.

Nothing went wrong! The English side became complacent and with such a humiliating loss they will now work on every aspect to win the next two test matches. This is what I am assuming and understanding. England's past performance as a test side after the change of captain and management on their home ground was extremely good. This loss only portrays how much they underestimated the South African side.

I would also like to state that the South African bowlers were like a powerhouse and every single of them showed discipline and the urge to deliver as a team. England lacked that and therefore they faced such a humiliating loss.

Looking for the decider match between West Indies and New Zealand. In the second game New Zealand made the easy win and managed to tie the series 1-1. In that match Finn Allen made a tremendous performance scoring 96 runs while the entire team struggled to perform. The target looked chaseable, but the opening order of West Indies weren't good to carry the responsibility. If they play in such a way this match too gonna be loss for them. A win in this match is much important for West Indies, because winning the series adds 10 World Cup Super League points.

My expectation was that this series would have been one sider but unfortunately, Newzealand has disappointed. On paper, the NZ side is far much better than the WI side. The decider match would again depend on how good the bowlers are in this match as the Kensington Oval pitch supports bowlers. I am expecting NZ to win the last match and win the series.

That is going to be the money match, isn’t it? Smiley
There could have been more India versus Pakistan matches before but obviously, because of the Coronavirus situation, things got postponed and we didn’t see it. And if Virat Kohli was in form, I believe Virat Kohli versus Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam versus Jasprit Bumrah could have been something interesting to watch. And there was always going to be Virat Kohli versus Babar Azam performance comparison. But right now I wonder if that is going to be something spectators are likely to be interested in.

Shaheen Shah Afridi has been ruled out of Asia Cup 2022 due to his knee injury and the same situation for Jaspreet Bhumbra. Virat Kholi is busy with Bollywood and is least bothered about his performance. Therefore in this Asia cup, we might be able to find a new set of players or might not find anyone. Still this match would be entertaining to watch.

About! Asia cup. The only match that I am interested and want to put my money in it is the one that will happen on Aug 28   between India vs Pakistan. I am sure this match will have a close outcome as this match requires nerves and handle the pressure. I am sure Virat Kohli will be part of the team and if he is good he will deliver, otherwise their is  a good chance of him getting kicked off.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 20, 2022, 03:14:35 PM
What was the need for KL Rahul to open the batting today. I mean the opening pair of Dhavan and Gill did wonders in the last match and in my opinion it was a bad move by him. Lost his wicket for just a single run. Being a captain you need to understand your responsibility and not act as an idiot. Getting out against a weak team for just 1 run would surely invite criticism from fans and experts.
A good question but no one available her for giving us a perfect reply because KL Rahul is captain, and he can do changes like these without any prior announcement with if they allow again Dhavan and Gill then surely it's going to be different story, but they try to be in different format and lost few wickets very quickly so hopefully now they will not do this again in last match and go with pair which is doing good job in this tour.

When you are in power never think about this what is happening and who is criticizing you because you want to enjoy your power, and it's South Asian culture we have many examples like this in past as well so most chances no one will talk about this as they won this match and series without any trouble.
Being out and not in form might have compelled him to get the opening slot and show the world that I am invincible and I am what India requires.

Suddenly I feel he is going the Virat Kohli way! What is wrong with these individuals? The job was to bat and score runs, create records and lbecome legends.

Unfortunately these newbies follow Kohli and want the same limelight. Rather, they should focus on what gave them that recognitions and not fall for the limelight that their girlfriend or wife recieve everyday.

One of the pathetic performance by the English test team again South Africa in their home ground and that also in Lord's. None of the batters were able to form a partnership. I am not sure whether they realized that they were playing a five days match and not an ODI. South African bowling was above average in both the innings. First innings it was Ranada who took 5 wickets and in the second innings every bowler was contributed. What a win by South Africa! Amazing and unbelievable!
