Oh well, ICC pitching the idea of 4 day tests. They do have some solid points behind this though, let's see how international community (Cricketers) reacts on it in coming days. ICC to consider mandatory four-day TestsFollow back on 4 day tests, this time statements coming from ECB and they seem to be agree to this idea. Main points from their perspective 1. Yes, its controversial but it might help with "complex scheduling" and "player workloads"- 2. Free time -30/40 days a year- 3. Buzzword -Lets face it Test cricket is dying- England and Wales Cricket Board 'cautiously' supports four-day TestsFollow back.... Recently Jos Buttler gave mixed statement on 4 day tests but one important reaction coming from Indian captain Virat kohli and he's rooting for 5 day tests without any diplomatic statement. "Four-day Tests? Look, I'm not a fan of [it]," Kohli said on the eve of the T20I series opener between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati. "I think the intent will not be right then because then you will speak of three-day Tests, where do you end? Then you speak of Test cricket disappearing. I don't endorse that at all. 'Four-day Tests? I don't endorse that at all' - Virat Kohli"I don't think that's fair to the purest format of the game - how cricket started initially and five-day Test matches was the highest of tests you can have at the international level. According to me, it shouldn't be altered."
South Africa vs England Nightwatch " Maharaj" gone. Faf needs to play captain's inning now. Its seems lost cause but I wish they fight back a bit and drag game into final session. 139/3 ... 164/4 as Faf is also gone England on target South Africa under serious pressure good from England. |

At the end of third day England leading by 264 runs with 6 wickets in hand and Sibley on crease with 85 runs look like its end of test for South Africa and England on driving seat for winning second test and level of series just 70 to 80 runs could be enough for England as fourth inning never been easy for any team to survive with 325+ runs. If South Africa still has players like Amla, Kallis and ABD then i would have given a chance from any situation but the players they have right now even does not have the shadow of these legendary players they had in the past and my bet on South Africa will be lost as England will level the series with the win unless there is some magic  . Last match also looks too easy for ENG to win but they didn't so don't lose your hope anything can happen at any time. Who knows there maybe a future legendary player is unspotted at the moment in their squad.If there is someone then its their time to show who are they to the real world.  Last time England was playing in fourth inning and now this time South Africa is going to play in fourth inning right now they have no batsman which is able to stand and give them good support as @SaShiRaJaVu saying even no one shadow of them so its mission impossible for them in fourth inning 300+ |

This 52 location threat from Trump is most likely exactly that, just a threat. Iran aren’t going to risk going up against the most powerful nation in the world.
Iran has no choice. Terrorist regime in Warshington wants war. They'll have it! Proxy wars via arms sales to paramilitaries and employment of military contractors (Blackwater, whatever Erik Prince is up to these days) has been the way to go since Iraq. Its much more expensive and far less yielding of results, which is perfect for business. My guess is the U.S. won't officially declare war, much like they didn't for Iraq II or Afghanistan. The war is already officially declared! Trump ordered killing of an Iranian official! General Qasem Soleimani was officially invited to visit Iraq and he made official visit to Iraq. He was met at the Baghdad airport by Iraqi hosts and was killed by the terrorists occupying Iraq and so far pretending Iraq is a sovereign country. The mask is off. Iraq is not a country. It is just an occupied territory. American soldiers in that region are not subjects to the Geneva convention anymore as they are members of a terrorist group. This is biggest concern by many countries specially Islamic countries as General Qasem Soleimani was on official visit and they attack on him this never been allowed but USA doing under the flag of UN which is hurting to Islamic countries now they are asking for some other alternative of this which is very difficult but not impossible in presence of Saudi Arab in USA camp. |

Its very good work by you I am feeling happy for you as we have person from Pakistan
thank you brother for your kind words, i'm just wondering is there anyone (Legendary Member) from pakistan? Yes we have very few Legendary Members from Pakistan I am posting here for you first of all @Abdussamad, @irfan_pak10, @lolxxxx, @Raja_MBZ, @ahmedjadoon Right now just 3 are good other 2 tags for different scams or ponzi schemes. its hurting very seriously we have no one to lead.I think you are forgetting jamalaezaz here. He is an hero member and was looking to become a good manager at bitcointalk but then become victim of trust games. irfan_pak10 is still doing a good job and he own a bounty website too. There may be many other Pakistani's we might not be aware of and they may be doing good work here on bitcointalk. @UmerIdrees please read carefully he ask for Legendary members from Pakistan so I check all this thread and have only these five so I mention about @irfan_pak10 I respect this member he is doing good and I also respect @jamalaezaz he was very active but now he is not as in past days so I not mention him if you have any other Legendary member from Pakistan I will mention him as well thanks. |

The results are very disappointed Rochdale vs Newcastle because Newcatle could not win this match despite traveling to an opponent I think it's easy because the opponent is in division 2 but this time the results are balanced and able to break down in the 79th minute, I think Newcastle is still lacking in defense .
Did anyone bet on this match? how do you feel?
Today I am also very disappointed with Newcastle as I lost my parlay just because of them I place 5 teamer and all gone good just they kill my this badly as I have over 2.5 because I was expecting few goals from them but they completely not in good touch. |

South Africa lost three quick wickets but now they are able to stabilize as Dean Elgar and Rassie van der Dussen are trying to built a partnership and they need to play a longer innings as they are still trailing by 144 runs.
Both looking good now, they are close to 100 runs partnership for 4th wicket so its positive sign for SA. Rassie van der Dussen got one lifeline due to no-ball, he should take this opportunity from both hands. Umpiring is shit in the match so far, they are even missing the big no balls. Time has come that ICC should fix the role of 3rd umpire for every no-ball check even in Test Match. I still believe that South Africa will win this though.
My money is on SA as well but who knows if something goes wrong during the 4th inning, chasing target is tough in any condition. So now something good for England as Bess take wicket of Elgar out of 88 and now South Africa is 157/4 traling by 112 runs this test is going to be very interesting as South Africa will be on for fourth and last inning. |

Going to be interesting to see what squad Klopp puts out for the FA Cup tie with Everton... I know he's probably more concerned about PL and UCL... but, it's Everton!  If it had been any other team he'd probably field the youngsters again like they did with Villa. Kloop is a very smart man. Every team would want to have a manager like him. In particular, there are many examples of the best performances of many players with him. He is a good coach. He also knows how to handle players who are not performing well. I recently read Kloop's interview and he said that it wasn't important that Firminho's form was low. He was talking about how good he is and how he can contribute soon. This is a psychologically important issue. He is mentally one of best Coach right now as he is doing good for his players psychologically need coaches like him for best results. |

IMO, this is the only T20 league, which can give competition to the IPL in terms of quality.
I think you are missing PSL here. Have you watched the PSL League last year ? It is the 2nd best league after the IPL. How can you compare it as the second best when the ratings of BBL says a different story, IPL is the biggest league in terms of viewership and Australia Big Bash comes second if i am not wrong and PSL comes well below Natwest T20 and Caribbean Premier League, if you have a better evaluation about it i am happy to hear about that. The term best should be applied according to the profit they make and the amount of viewers they have and i am sure my calculation is right according to the reports i saw. @ene1980 you are right PSL need some time at home then we can say any thing about this right now its not good for talking that its second best for me IPL BBL CPL and then Natwest is in top four may be @UmerIdrees is furious about PSL so saying its second best its not near second right now. |

In 2021 for sure, I’m not certain of that in 2020 but would love to be wrong.
My feeling as well ... the increase in 2020 is probably modest, but I expect / hope that we reach a new ATH in 2021 or 2022. Main reason; the cycles are getting more spread out, and the halving is probably more anticipated now than the last time (more energy efficient miners, and so on). So I don't expect any fireworks starting before Q3 / Q4 2020. I'd love to be wrong as well though, of course! It would be very nice to hit anywhere between 10-14K in 2020, with the first number being more likely, IMHO. Every time when we are entering in new year many hopes and many hate news around here but this time we have very less so surely its going to touch 10K in near future. |

Liverpool vs Sheff Utd Mane to score at any time (this is often a winner) Score prediction is 4-0 LFC. Wow like a match against Leicester 4-0  Maybe that can happen because Liverpool's performance is very good so a score of 4 goals can be achieved, but my predictions say otherwise I predict Liverpool vs Sheff United 3-1 Liverpool wins I am feeling 4 - 0 is no going to happen as first half just ended and Liverpool leading by 1 - 0 hopefully they will able to double this score as Sheff Utd is also giving them tough time. |

History is bitch sometimes and no-one should forget that.
(2008) 26/11 terrorist attack changed the dynamics of Cricket diplomacy and back then Congress was the ruling party (IPL ban), it took 5 years to ease the tension and manage any bilateral series. After that i was optimistic for more cricket but then Pathankot,Uri and Pulwama happened, Followed by Article 370 revoked. so it will take some time to cool things off, let's say 5-7 year or may be decade but it will happen eventually.
Call it idiotic view (Which i don't agree) or anything else but it doesn't matter who is ruling Delhi.
Here I have to agree with JSRAW. It is not going to matter which party is ruling India. Right now, sending a cricket team to Pakistan would be like political suicide for any political coalition in India. JSRAW has listed out the incidents that happened in the past, and these events have changed the mood of the common people in India against any sporting ties with Pakistan. So I don't think that a bilateral series between India and Pakistan is going to take place anytime soon, irrespective of the party which is in power in India. Right now PCB need to work on other teams India is not a point right now because its above from cricket if they able to bring some other teams like South Africa West Indies and England this could be very helpful for them and they can generate some good finances Australia and New Zealand could be bonus but right now Bangladesh's call is really sad for them as they are really underpressure from BCCI. |

Another VAR nonsense in Premier League. How this handball from Spurs is not a penalty after checking? I am pro VAR in general, but what they are doing in England is total travesty.
I am pro VAR as well, there will be many good decisions but they do it all wrong in the premier league... There must be a clear error something a ref should have seen before he can be over ruled.... Also sometimes when they are catching the mm work of where the foot or the knee or whatever is positioned then it probably also would be arguable if thats the exact moment the ball is kicked by the player sending the pass..... Then again what would be the best solution thats fair and not arguable for everyone?? Just remove VAR and keep the beautiful game pure. IMHO. It was already a damn good game without the human factor removed. Why spoil such a good thing? Here is an example from somewhere in Africa, maybe FA should learn from technically superior setups  https://twitter.com/SirRaphaelK/status/1212672178191294464?s=20Please note the guy with pump action shotgun making sure everybody is happy with decisions and prevents peeking Surely EPL officials also watch this and implement system like this with pump action  |

@bisdak40, nice game man, that was a close game between us, you just beat me by 0.5 points.
I have very poor history of this 0.5 Points because today I was checking my few bets and most of them are lost by this margin which hurts badly now thinking to change some may be thic could help in future. |

So many people making their picks so well I am getting really jealous. Let us see if 2020 new Majestic Seven round gives me some good fortune. I think today I will mix my picks up with my regular choices plus 2 or 3 choices that are completely not what I would normally pick. And since people seem to do well when they do not share beforehand,,, I will also do that for this round;)
Welcome to this Boat I am also trying for some time and never touch 5 or 6 because I have no good enough for this last three rounds showing my touching 4 two time and 3 one time which is very odd but hopefully this new year could be very good and fruitful for me as I am in too many fantasies and competitions related to soccer. |
