Australia were looking set to post a total of 600+ runs but Paine decided to declare at 534 for the loss of 5 wickets. Patterson looked good and was looking to make 150 so I don't understand why Paine declared this early on. Anyway this is a pitch for the batsman as even Australia are having trouble getting wickets with none so far and the Sri Lankan opening pair look to be playing the ball easy, there is no swing and the ball isn't doing much off the pitch so if Sri Lanka can keep this up and get close to Australia's first innings total, it could turn out to be an interesting match.

Wimbledon will most likely be Murray's last Grand Slam as after his first round loss in the AO he said in the press conference that he hopes to be ready for Wimbledon as that's where he would like to end his career.
To be honest I can't see Nadal winning 2 out of the last 3 GS this year unless there is an injury to Djokovic as I think Djokovic will win at least one of the remaining GS this year.
Yes I and Kemarit have been saying since last year that Djokovic will most likely be the one to surpass Nadal and Federer in GS title wins.
I can’t believe it that Murray is going to bid this game a goodbye, while I can understand the injuries he’s picked over the years were bad but as a fan I feel sad to see him retire. I’ll second you on Djokovic winning more gland slams as he’s the man in form, the way he took out Nadal in the final shows it. Nadal is lacking form and motivation his injuries are taking a toll on him, I don’t expect he’ll win anything in current form. Yes its always sad to see the top players have to retire and the sad thing is that we could see two great players retire this year. Murray is almost a certainty that he will end his career at Wimbledon and the other one we could see retire this year is Federer. This is why I'm waiting to see if Federer will play in the French Open, if he does play then it could be a sign that its his last year playing tennis. So in the next 5 years we will most likely not see any of the top players playing anymore and we'll be watching the young talent coming through now.

WI are in a good position to win this test match and if they can pile on another 50-70 runs then it will be tough for England to set a decent sized total for the WI to chase. I still give England a chance at winning bat they must bat well and at least get a lead of 150+ as it will be tough batting last on this pitch.
Australia are in a strong position with day 2 about to start. Joe Burns looks set to score a double century and may even go on to score big as he looks in good form. I'm not getting too excited about the way Australia is playing because lets face it Sri Lanka haven't been at their best for a while now and Australia are a stronger team.

Its great to see txbit launch and after a minor set back early on but all is working perfectly now. I have linked my masternode to txbit which was an easy process. Currently there are over 300 masternodes linked to txbit already and I expect this to continue to grow. Now we just sit back and wait for March 1st which is when the first payment is set to be paid. Congrats to the team on all the hard work they have put in to make this happen.

Finally we see Australian batsman score centuries this season. Joe Burns was the first Australian batsman to score a century this summer on Australian soil and it was followed by a century for Travis Head who was just dismissed for 161. Australia are in a strong position right now 4 wickets for 336 runs and they will be looking to score 550+ runs and make it very tough for Sri Lanka.

Thanks for letting us know Moin is listed at Novaexchange. Why Novaexchange is not shown as exchange in coinmarketcap? It only shows coinexchange . It could be that the team need to let CMC know that MOIN is trading on there. MOIN is also trading on Livecoin which also isn't showing on CMC so I don't know whats going on with CMC at the moment. Maybe because the only volume was coming from Cryptopia and Coinexchange and that is why they just have them listed? I'm not sure but maybe Jookly or the dev know what's going on.

BKS is now at block 6,000 so the reward for staking is 300% APR. Now is a good time to pick up some BKS and start staking whether in your own wallet which is the best place to stake or at StakingLab. There is some cheap BKS on HotDex right now if anyone wants some to stake.

There was a tweet sent out from Andy Murray and it looks like he just complete his hip surgery as he was dressed in a hospital gown and laying in bed with a thumbs up. So he should recover from it by the time Wimbledon starts in july.
I just hope he plays on for a couple more years , I miss him . I also hope Nadal somehow manages to win atleast 2 out of 3 GS this year , I don't see anyone else beating Djokovic . I have a feeling that Djoker will beat Federer record of 20 GS by the time he retires , what do you guys say? Wimbledon will most likely be Murray's last Grand Slam as after his first round loss in the AO he said in the press conference that he hopes to be ready for Wimbledon as that's where he would like to end his career. To be honest I can't see Nadal winning 2 out of the last 3 GS this year unless there is an injury to Djokovic as I think Djokovic will win at least one of the remaining GS this year.

WI are playing really good cricket at the moment after winning the first test match and are in a good position to take a lead in this test match. Once again England were bowled out cheaply in just 61 overs which is way below their standards. If the WI can get a lead of 150+ then it will give them a high chance of winning the match.
The second and final test match between Australia and Sri Lanka starts today. I'm hoping we get a more competitive match from Sri Lanka this time but Australia will be very hard to beat.

the exchange is a strange one. After clicking on link to HotDex, the browser I used show that it is in-secure one. Why does it happen? Sure! New exchange always takes time to grow and get more stable high volume. Now I will say that this DEX will take some time to grow and gain exposure however at least we have an exchange to trade GLPM on. The dev is looking at other exchanges in the near future but I think right now the main focus should be on the Blogging platform so it gives people something to get excited about and that they start to see some developments.
I'm not sure why it is doing that as I don't have any problems with using Chrome. GLPM is seeing some volume on HD however I don't understand why people keep under cutting each other. Just put your sell orders in at the same price instead of under cutting. I know we have been waiting a long time for an exchange and people want to get back some of what they put in but selling this cheap is crazy right now.

what news?
There is no news here mate, there was meant to be some news from the dev this week but nothing. I believe the dev has left the project and moved on because the admin on the discord said he would come but everyone is still waiting and complaining about the dev.

You're welcome my friend!
Well for anyone that did get into HotShot when I posted this would be very happy now as the price has since gone up from around 1300 sats to close to 3k sats and is now currently trading at around 2400 sats. The team has just launched their HotDex exchange which I'm sure will be a success as they plan to have the cheapest listing fee on the market and also they give projects the opportunity to list for free by voting.
Yes I looked at x42 and I like what I see, thanks for the tip mate!
Glad to be of help to you. Honestly, I believe that HotShot is quite a bargain these days, as well as, other prominent PoS cryptocurrencies. It's the perfect opportunity to buy some more coins, for better staking rewards. Being a huge supporter of decentralized exchanges myself, I consider them to be the future of crypto trading. As for x42, I believe that it needs more marketing/promotion, to get noticed within the crypto sector. Its advantages are numerous (like being feeless and extremely fast) but if people are not aware of its existence, it won't be rising that much in price. I'd recommend that if you stake x42 or any other PoS coin, you should divide your balance into multiple transactions by using the "Coin Control" feature (look for more info on Google). This will allow you to optimize your wallet for better and constant staking rewards. Nonetheless, it's good to know the variety of options to choose from, as they can allow us to build our own passive income in many ways. So far, my favorites are: StakeNet, x42, Bean Cash, PIVX, HotShot, and Magi. But there are other good old PoS coins (like Peercoin) which are worth looking at. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yeah I agree that HotShot is a bargain right now at the current price. I actually paid a lot more then what its currently trading at but I'm okay with that as the stakes have been coming in daily at a nice consistent rate. And also the dev have released their HotDex which shows that they mean business and want HotShot to succeed. More developments are coming in the near future like a forum where everyone can get together and talk everything crypto and also have some input on which coins they would like to see listed on HotDex plus a lot more. I'm very bullish on HotShot as it should do well in the long term. x42 does have some presence on Twitter as I have seen a couple big accounts tweeting about it but I do agree that it needs more marketing and people need to know more on what x42 offers the crypto world. All PoS coins are at bargain prices right now so take your pick, just make sure to look for coins that have a solid foundation and active dev team/community as they are the ones that should do well in the long term.

There was a lot of good news for BKS in the last 24 hours with the coin being listed on StakingLab so it gives people a chance to stake BKS for the ones that can't. Also not long after the StakingLab listing, BKS was listed on their first exchange "HotDex" Now is a good time to pick up some cheap BKS https://wallet.hotdex.eu/market/HOTDEX.BKS_HOTDEX.BTC

What the fuck has happened with Indian batsman? India- 55/8, Is it a bowling pitch? New Zealand won toss and choose to bowl first and they have been successful for now. No one but Hardik and Dhawan was able to make a 2 figure score, Dhawan- 13 and Hardik- 16. How this happened?
Scoring only 92 runs by the team as good as India is just not imaginable. I think either they were over confident and it went wrong for them or it may be a case of match fix. Although i do not have any proof of it but we cannot deny possibility. Lastly all those who bet in the favor of India get all REKT. Well these things happen from time to time with the top teams getting bowled out cheaply and as India have already won the ODI series I don't think this match worried them. Trent Boult bowled amazing in this match taking 5 wickets for 21 however India went in with a different team as they are trying players out for the World Cup later this year.

The thing I really like about this project is that they are trying to introduce crypto to the world and make it easier for newbies coming in. That is why I believe Note Blockchain has a bright future as the community works together and gives away free NOTE to get people started.

Next on the calendar is the 2019 Open Sud de France, Feb 4-10. Defending champion here is is Lucas Pouille vs Gasquet last year.
And then we also have Sofia and Cordoba Open same date as well. Gonna be lots of tennis in the next two weeks and the next coming months before the French open in May.
Yes my friend, I can't wait for the clay season to start and like I mentioned in my previous post, it will be interesting to see what Federer will do this clay season. If he decides to play in the French Open then we could see him play in a couple of lead up tournaments to get ready for the French Open. I can't remember the last time we saw Federer play on clay, I'm sure its been a few years now.

HotDex has announced on their discord that BKS should be listed for trading sometime today.
Also be sure to keep checking in on the BKS discord as there could be some big news updates coming in the next couple of days. Staking packages are still available at affordable prices to suite everyone's budget.

People have been asking for an exchange, so here you go GLPM is now trading on HotDex https://wallet.hotdex.eu/market/HOTDEX.GLPM_HOTDEX.BTCNow I will say that this DEX will take some time to grow and gain exposure however at least we have an exchange to trade GLPM on. The dev is looking at other exchanges in the near future but I think right now the main focus should be on the Blogging platform so it gives people something to get excited about and that they start to see some developments.

Usually whenever hack happens, volume shifts from the hacked exchange to another exchange, but here trading is just not happening and I fear Moin being delisted from the current active exchanges (where Moin is trading) as well and no exchange to trade Moin if and when this happens.
You are just repeating yourself. So I guess I will too. The volume on cryptopia was almost always ZERO on any random day. Moin isn't at risk of delisting from its other exchanges. You are just making that up. For a more detailed response read the messages above. Even if for some reason MOIN does get delisted which is very unlikely due to the fact that MOIN is running perfectly and so is the explorer and website, there are many more exchanges out there for MOIN. I believe Coinexchange won't delist a coin if they have a working explorer and website so we should be fine. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is CoinMarketCap as they have been delisting coins recently that have no volume for a long time and this is something we don't want to happen with MOIN.

What a game. I mean it was not very exciting to watch, but nole just showed everyone how it's done. Let's see if he can match Nadal's 17 GC this year!
I first mentioned this last year that Djokovic could be the player to surpass Nadal and Federer in Grand Slam titles won and right now my prediction is looking very good. If Nadal doesn't win the French Open this year then yes I believe Djokovic can match Nadal's 17 GS titles this year as if Djokovic can stay fit and healthy then he will be hard to beat at Wimbledon and the US Open. He may even win the French Open with the form he is in right now. Exactly, we have been agreeing that Djokovic is that man that can match or even surpassed Federer in Grand Slam titles, and him winning the Australian Open is a step closer. Maybe this year he can tie Rafa's titles and then chase after Roger's in the next couple of years. @Kemarit and I have been saying this for a while now about Djokovic as his form in the back end of last season looked like the Djokovic of old. He now becomes the outright Australia Open winner on 7 titles and also surpasses Pete Sampras on the all time GS winners. We are all very lucky to see the top 3 players all of time play at the same time and I'm not sure if we'll see this again.
We should not forget what happened to him last year. It was tough for him, physically and mentality. However, Djokovic overcame everything and we have may witnessed out of the greatest comeback in Tennis as well. We wouldn't have thought that we can overcome everything and win titles at the end of 2018 and continue to be dominant? A lot has been discounting him already, but he rise to the occasion and even surpasses everyone's expectation.
Keep it coming guys, it looks like this thread really did come alive as of late, and lot of tennis fans who are really knowledgeable and very well-informed. Yeah it was us who were mainly talking about Djokovic at the time as it seemed that no one gave him any chance late last year. It just shows the mental toughness Djokovic has to overcome his injury and get back to the elite level before he suffered that injury. Nadal will be suited by the upcoming clay season however we can't dismiss Djokovic winning the French Open, if he does then he very well could become level with Nadal on GS titles. Lets also not forget about Federer as I heard he may target the French Open this year which could signal that this could be his last year. We have a lot to look forward to this year.
