Good read on Misbah's short stint as a head coach and selector for Pakistan. tl;dr : selection of Umar Akmal and Ahmad shehzad against SL. followed by Mohammed Irfan- Usman Qadir and now dropping Yasir shah. Recall Umar Akmal? Drop Mohammad Abbas? What was Misbah-ul-Haq thinking!
Now how much lead will they take before declaring. 500 or even more?
2 scenario. declare today or declare tomorrow. declaring tomorrow looks logical to me but who knows what Aussie captain is thinking and might do. Still 25+ overs left today so if Australia makes 80-90 runs then their score would be around 440-455 end of the 3rd day. then we have 2 more days to go and declaring on 450 runs can be tricky gamble if by any chance Kiwis batsmen gets set ( if it happens then there is good chance of NZ win or good contest, i would say) so Australia might want to bat one more session tomorrow or waste some time and add 100-130 runs on the scoreboard. after that they have 1 full day and 2 session to get NZ out with 550-580 runs on the scoreboard. Right now they are leading by 391 and 17 overs left so I am feeling they will bat today and tomorrow for touching 500+ and then give batting to New Zealand as still plenty of time left in this match and Aussies bowlers can take ten wickets without any problem in 3 or 4 sessions. edit: Labuschagne out on fifty and now Smith on crease. New Zeland bowlers have no place to go. |

I feel that AUS will aim for huge first innings score because they got settled proper batsmen at the crease,new day will be a challenge but if they can control nerves for the first 10 overs or something then they will day 2 also which could possible result in 400+ runs.OZ have good team as well especially kane williamson but if they lost early wickets then match will be on the hand of Aussies.
Australia will be looking for a big score and Labuschagne will be the key wicket and i hope Travis Head will build a good partnership as he is also averaging really well above 50 but i am sure Tim Paine will declare the innings if the think that it is not helping the team as it was evident with his declaration when Warner was well past his 300 and looking to score further, he made the declaration giving priority to the team rather than individual performance which was a bummer as a Aussie fan, New Zealand have in form batsman and lets see how they can perform in this pitch. Today Australis was very slow but still good if Labuschagne and Head keep wickets for some time then surely they are going to around 400 which could be good and we can feel result in this test but if New Zealand bowlers done good work and take quick wickets then this could be more interesting as New Zealand batting line up is also in good shape but need to have some good touch on this batting wicket. |

One thing is very interesting if you check there are nearly 1500 posts and more then 1000 are from newbies with just one or two posts and very few from active users. |

Group stage of Champions league finnished and it means that significantly less matches left. @big_daddy is still leading solid and I think it will be almost impossible to reach him. Unless he will forget to make predictions one day  . Personally, I stuck in the middle of table, but I'm still relatively close from Top 5. Playoff draw is on Monday. What pair would you like to see? Personally, I would like Real Madrid getting something big like Bayern, City or LFC. And Atalanta for Barcelona . Teams going through for next rounds England Liverpool, Manchester City, chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur Spain Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia Italy Juventus, Atlanta, Napoli Germany Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig France PSG, Lyon Just five countries no teams from Neitherland, Portugal, Belgium and Denmark its very sad as just these few countries controlling this all for many years. |

I have a feeling that Leicester is going to lose points at the match against Norwich.
I am going to bet this game as I expect a draw for them. I hope it won't happen as Leicester is stronger that City right now and they can keep following Liverpool for the title chase.
I don't see Leicester like a team wasting opportunities they always take advantage of the opportunity. from 16 matches Leicester lost 2 times when against Man city and Man United so against Norwich is an opportunity for them to collect points. Every week too much talk about this but Leciester is doing extra ordinary ang taking all points this week they are going to face Norwich which is on very poor run so Leciester is not going to give any chance to any team hopefully they will take again full points. |

Sri Lanka had a good start but then they started loosing wickets and Pakistan were able to have an upper hand right now and Mathews is the player they have to target as he is the only dangerous player Sri Lanka have right now and if they are able to pick his wicket then Pakistan will have a peace of mind that they will not score a huge target as they do not have the batsman to score big runs and their main player will be Babar Azam.
First day and just 68 overs look like its very poor management by PCB as they now its very short day so they have to start some early but they are not able to do any thing first session belong to Sri Lanka and second session belong to Pakistan now if Pakistan able to have quick wickets then they can do some good otherwise I am feeling its a draw match because we have going to short nearly one day. |

I dont think they will qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season and end the league in 4th place.
It's much too early to rule any team out of UCL qualification especially those in the top ten and with a history of making it into Europe. We've seen how in the space of a few weeks Manchester United turned their form around and are now knocking on the door of a champions league spot. If Arsenal hits a purple patch they can close the gap in a couple of weeks. Arsenal is quite difficult going to fourth position because the opponents are so heavy especially this week will face Manchester city, United are not bad either as last week is now more dominant to improve and return to its original position, maybe to enter the UCL qualification this season my view, Liverpool Man city Man United Tottenham. Liverpool & City will get top 4 obviously, I think Leicester are looking very likely to get top 4 too. I can’t see Man Utd getting top 4, the last spot will be between Chelsea & Spurs. Most Manchester United fans were not sure about even making it to the top 6 with our recent performances but the last two games against Tottenham and Manchester City there has been some hope among the fans who believe that we might be able to make it to the Champions League but I think we can make it to the Champions League via the Europa League next season. Man United is in 5th place and will continue to chase Chelsea which is only 5 points apart but it must also be consistent for Man United to be in the top 4, entering UCL there is still hope for next season but I think there must be an overhaul in the player or its player strategy. Don't be like this and I'm tired of seeing Man United's matches like that. Most of peoples not counting Leciester for top four but I am feeling this year they are going to give another surprise and going through in Champions League for last spot we have three teams Manchester United Chelsea and Tottenham lets see from these who is going to be fourth for final spot. |

Right now there is a lot of controversy surrounding a match fixing scandal involving the Karnataka Premier League (KPL). Some of the players have been arrested (Nishanth Singh Shekhawat, CM Gautam and Abrar Kazi) for match fixing and many more are being investigated. These players are very vulnerable, as their salaries are really low.
I was not aware about the match fixing scandal in KPL, the reason i said about small tournaments being vulnerable is because big time gamblers who are wagging millions of dollars could easily manipulate these small tournaments because the fixing issue was prominent in the international matches during the early 2000 and if they are able to do that why not manipulate the small tournaments. Tomorrow we have the first test between Pakistan and Srilanka, i have no idea how both these team will perform, any prediction for the match. These small leagues are nursery for many bookies as they try to contact with players and then give them some good attraction but still as authorities taking action hopefully many will get away from these leagues and try to fix problems which are helping these none stakers. About Pakistan vs Sri Lanka I can say most chances this match will end in draw as weather is also not good enough and hardly they will be able to do 80 overs in a day and pitch is also helpful for batting side toss could be very cruicial for both teams as winner will try to take advantage with first bowling. |

This is such a great promo really - no words! 15 more goals and Qatar I am coming I need 13 12 11 more (not long until half time in the 8pm kick offs - GMT). Well, due to the matchups and some teams losing who NEED the win - I am afraid we will say way toooo many goals. Yeah I thought that, as it’s game 6 in the group stage teams are going to be desperate in the 2nd half. Look like its going to touch between 24 to 28 so those who have these predictions please take some break and try to ready for Qatar its very less time after these matches advance congrates to all winners |

Does anyone care about the West Ham vs Arsenal game today? I haven't seen a single comment about it I took West Ham ML and added it to a three team parlay. I feel like West Ham have a pretty good chance to beat an out of form Arsenal tonight, plus i couldn't resist the odds at 9/4. Tbh, it's pretty risky to back either team to win since they've been pretty shit lately, but watching Arsenal HQ in chaos is pretty amusing so... They are a Small team now. If there fans gave up on them, that means there will not be so much talk about them Personally i think arsenal might lose tonight again. West Ham United may have been performing poorly in the recent times but it's a London derby and they come alive sometimes. The bookies favored Arsenal as the winner I see this based on the Asian Handicap +0.5 for West Ham But I agree with you, this is not a good day for Arsenal I predict West Ham can dominate the match and I go with West Ham + 0.5 Just 20 minutes and as West Ham is playing they will able to win this match Arsenal is leading 63% possesion but still not able to hit any good shot look like completely broken team right now West Ham draw or win still have good odds @1.72. |

I was down into 4th over the weekend, managed to get back to 3rd yesterday. tokeweed is doing very well atm, so difficult to win this pool, it’s so competitive.
Lots of games over the Xmas period so it’s so important to score well.
The way examplens and tokeweed is moving with their correct socre selection, I think at the end these two will have good competition. You, me, hilariousandco and other will just see them running forward 🤪 Really this pool turning out to be very interesting one. A bad round and one is out with someone else is replacing them immidiatly. Now pool is going to be very interesting like EPL any one can go through I am also feeling good have yellow cap for just four days and now this round is also good increasing overall position from 20 to 13 mean now can touch top 5 very soon which is first target. |

I have been unable to login to my Nitrogen Sports account for many months and have been sending them e-mails but they rarely reply and when they do reply it does not have any information on how to login to my account. I know my username and password so this is very frustrating. Especially since it has cost me thousands of dollars because I have been unable to request my bitcoins and btc value has dropped. I am posting here in hopes that Nitrogen Sports will simply resolve this issue and send me an e-mail with instructions to login. I have sent many e-mails this weekend that Nitrogen Sports received. I have send them e-mails from different e-mail addresses because it seems they do not receive some of my e-mails. Camille from Nitrogen Sports e-mailed me at 8:19pm on 12/7 but it did not include login instructions.
Sending emails from different addresses not going to help you because they will feel its scam better try to contact with them through email which is registered with your account and send them informations which they required because its not easy job for them to work on issue like this I also lost my account but recovered very quickly as I send them all informations about my account correctly so its enable again better try again with your attached email hopefully this will help you. |

Very true. West Indies chances improved drastically since Bumrah is not a part of the squad and the younger players are being given more chances currently. Chahar has been out of form recently after his record figures.
This is why consistency is more important than records. Indian fielding needs to improve too. As you stated, any score below 200 seems like an easy one though I am still expecting India to win the final.
Bumrah is a special bowler but India does have other talents that could take the game away from West Indies, India is not playing Mohammed Shami and what happened to Ravichandran Ashwin as he was a T20 specialist and i think Hardik Pandya is also suffering from injury and not sure why they are shuffling with Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal and why are they not playing consistently and if they are shuffling the team like that all the time then they loose match practice and that will affect their game too. In short India does have the bowlers to restrict West Indies if they pick the right players who proved in international cricket and not to experiment all the time. Bumrah absent hurting very seriously to Indian squad because he is one man show and can change things very quickly for team with in just one or two overs and on other hand rotation policy is also doing few magics as they are not bringing Chahal and K Yadav but still they are capable of changing things very quickly which are coming in third Twenty/20 with batting is main weapon but Rohit is out of touch hopefully he will be in good for final game. |
