The first thing that comes to my mind about Andrew Symonds is the altercation he had with Harbhajan Singh. While Harbhajan was bowling to Symonds, the former tried to sledge him by saying "Teri maa ki **** (your mom's ***)". Symonds, with zero knowledge in Hindi language misunderstood "maa ki" as "monkey". Being half-Caribbean, Symonds was extremely offended and he filed a complaint with the match referee for racial abuse. I am not sure what happened next, but I remember that Harbhajan refused to apologize for his boorish behavior.
Yes, that altercation was the headline of every cricket playing nation news channel. If I am correct it was known as the monkeygatescandal. If you do a google search with the same keyword you will find the story. In the end they both played for MI and everything was forgotten. |

Bangladesh vs Srilanka 1st Test match,Srilanka have batted first and they have managed 390+ runs in first innings. Bangladesh start to good innings and already have between 134+ partnership. All credit goes to Bangladeshi openers. For my experienced Bangladeshi players didn’t do bat as well in test match specially 2nd innings. They were nervous every test match. I think, Bangladeshi players can improve the test match.i hope they will be more improve in future.
157 for no loss incredible achievement by Bangladesh considering the team has not being doing well in test cricket. Iqbal has faced most of the ball and is on 89, at this rate he will achieve his century. The lead has reduced 240 runs and I think by the end of session 2 it will be within 200runs. |

By the way, what country do you live in? In most developed countries, this amount is not enough to live a lifetime without working, which is probably only possible in poor countries.
He probably lives in a developing country, but to calculate how much you need to live without working we have to take into account age and other factors. Someone who lives in a developing country, has a paid house, emancipated children and is 60 years old is not the same as someone who is 30 years old in a developed country, has not yet bought a house and has young children. In Europe, that amount is not that much, whatever age you are, but it gives you joy. in my country (Indonesia) with that kind of money can make a person retire young and live comfortably without having to work until old. in developing countries I guarantee that almost everyone hopes to win the big lottery so that they retire quickly and don't have to work hard outside. but it's true that in developed countries, the winnings are still small. Yes, you can retire young with that kind of money but if you do not know how to manage that kind of money then you might loose it all quickly. I have read a few articles wherein lottery winners or gamblers after winning have lost all because of bad investment. The concept of stable life is a myth as anything can happen in these times. |

Delhi Capitals VS Panjabs Kings
Today's match between Delhi and Punjab was an exciting match. The way Delhi won the match with a target of only 160 runs is really commendable. Punjabi's collection in the first 5 overs was 53 runs. Only 107 runs were needed to win 90 balls. However, Punjab lost the match by 17 runs. Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel's controlled bowling helped Delhi win the match. Delhi are now fourth in the points table. Perhaps they will be able to qualify for the next round.
PBKS should have won the match, as they were given a good start by Bairstow. Once Bairstow got out, DC never allowed PBKS batsmen to get settled and keep on taking wickets. One reason why DC gave a low target of 160 is that Warner got out on very first ball. Even after the wicket on the first ball Delhi Capitals continued to score good till the tenth over. After the tenth over the run rate started to fall and in the last five overs Delhi wasn't able to make good runs. Myself expected atleast 180 runs. In today's match a twist happened and David Warner might've felt bad of it. David Warner was on the runner end, and looking the option of Livingston to bowl the first over David Warner took the batting side and caught out on the very first ball to Rahul Chahar. At the early stage of the match when Warner was out for a duck I felt DC will lose this match and again Marsh was a saviour for DC. None of the batters have contributed like Warner and Marsh have done for DC in this season. Considering this was a bowling pitch DC was able to score more than 150 runs. PBKS gave a good fight till the end but they have been inconsistent throughout this season. |

2 overs and 4 wickets.
This is some fine level of collapse from the Lankans. They were looking extremely dominating but Nayeem Hassan and Shakib manage to bring back Bongs in the game in just 2 overs (2 wickets each in same over).
Now 400 run mark looks almost impossible for the SL.
It looks like Sri Lanka will lose all their wickets before 400. Although Angelo Mathews is still at the crease, he is unbeaten on 161. However, after losing the fifth wicket for 319 runs, they lost three more wickets by just 9 runs. Sakib took 3 wickets and Nayeem took 4 wickets. . Sri Lanka's first innings will end between 380-390 runs. Anything above 350 is a good score. Except Mathews and Chandimal every batter from the Srilankan side was a failure. I also think they will not reach 400 as they already have lost 8 wickets. 350 itself would be a tough target to chase for the Bangladeshi side. |

Rajasthan Royals won by 24 runs aginst Lucknow. Both team are better playing this season in IPL.Today match was very interesting. Unfortunately Lucknow didn’t finish as well.Both team are very strong in IPL this season. Both team's batrers and bowler's performance is so good this season. Lucknow amd RR will be played in next round.I hope Lucknow will win in Their next match.
With the current situation on league table for me three teams are already in play-offs and now fight is on for just last spot because right now GT, RR and LSG are giving amazing performance and no other team is capable to beat them which is big advantage for them. Two big teams MI and CSK already out of competition because they completely fail to give any solid performance and two new teams doing good job with having top rank now RCB is unpredictable, and they are fighting hard for last spot, but they have to give their best if they want to reach in last four. Tomorrow we have one very interesting match between DC vs PBKS winner from this match can take fourth spot and skip RCB down even many ups and downs coming but now four teams already out of competition remaining are still giving their best. Yes, these two new teams have performed exceptionally well in their first season of IPL. In my opinion the chances of these two reaching the finals is alo very high. DC and PBKS have both won their previous matches but in my opinion PBKS has not been the consistent side. I feel today DC will win the match comfortably and also confirm their position for the playoffs. |

I got this notification from a telegram channel which I follow. It is a telegram channel of a Youtube influencer who talks about cryptocurrency in his regional language. When I checked the notification from that channel it stated JUST IN: Goldman Sachs and Barclays have invested in Bitcoin and crypto trading platform Elwood Technologies.
I was curious to know that Barclays had invested in Bitcoin! Did a simple search and found the accurate story. If your read the complete article you will know that this investment has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Unfortunately this is how influencers and media has been promoting their hidden objective, that is to earn money no matter what can be the consequences and what it may end up? This is why you need to do a search before believing anything promoted. |

The win came too late for the KKR, as they are already out of the competition. For SRH, this one was a must win match, but now they are also out of the next phase after they lost it. SRH has now lost 5 matches consecutively and now they stand at 8th place in the points table. Can you believe this? At one point, they had 5 wins from 7 matches and now they are with 5 wins from 12 matches. Really difficult to understand what happened to them. On the other hand, Lucknow has won 4 out of their last 5 matches and today they will be taking on Rajasthan.
SRH won't qualify for playoffs in this season of IPL. Yesterday's match was a disaster for them. None of their batters were able to stay put and lead the chase. Ofcourse 178 was a big score on that pitch but I expected them to chase it. Abishek Sharma did his level best but that shot was not good enough. |

I have sad news to share that we have lost another Australian legend. Andrew Symonds died yesterday in a car accident. I do remember the matches where Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds together won many matches for the Australians.
RIP
He was the only cricketer I hated most whenever Australia played with India. An amazing and extraordinary journey ended in a tragic accident. May his soul rest in peace. This year has been bad for Australian cricket. Just a few month back they lost Shane Warne. |

In test match they also need to work on and try to cut few teams those are not able to have quality set up which can help them for bringing some good test playing guys because it's also very important for better quality and results.
Which teams do you think should go from the Test format and which non associate team is perform so well that they should be given a chance to play the longer format. I am not watching Cricket religiously as i used to in my younger years but still i have not seen that kind of solid performance from any associate countries so that they needs to get a chance to play International Cricket. Mostly asians are very crazy for cricket and ICC is spending so much money to keep them involved in the game. They are hardly seem performing in Olympics. And this is very sad. For example Pakistani team is so good in cricket and only one athlete participated in Olympics winter, surprising though! I am not sure why said Asians are involved in cricket. I think you meant South East Asian. I am not sure about other countries but in india people love to play and watch other games too such as badminton, wrestling, hockey and football. The government of India has also started promoting and encouraging other sports keeping in mind the Olympics. To an extent it has also started showing results. Cricket is still the most watched and played sports but slowly other sports have also started to get the same attention. |

Things are not good enough for home team as they are going to face spirited Sri Lanka in first test match at Chattogram Shakib which was dropped for Covid-19 positive now have negative and going with team but still need some more medical tests for participating into first test even coach Russell Domingo is not positive about Shakib for first test match. With this Now Mehdi Miraz and Taskin both are also out of first test due to finger and shoulder injuries, so with this all look like Bangladesh is having not good chances against visitors for winning this series.
My prediction about this series is Sri Lanka won or draw because at home they have some advantage and can give tough time to Lankan's but still they are good to win in this series.
So that means Bangladesh is having injury concerns in the upcoming tour. When is the first match and i have to see the team for Sri Lanka before making a decision because some other time i placed a bet after seeing the comments here and messed up badly  . Bangladesh is always a strong side at home and they always pack their team with spinners but Sri Lanka does play spin well but yet to see the team. It happened to me too I did my research and then saw a few comments here and changed my decision while placing the bets believing that those comments. It is better to believe in your own research than to believe in someone else. I still feel that Bangladesh has an upper edge no matter what everyone here says. Either win or draw for them it is a win-win situation. Two match series and their is a higher probability of a draw. |

There is a remote possibility that SRH can still qualify for the next stage. But for that, they need to win all three of their remaining matches, and either RCB or RR should lose their remaining ones. To complicate things further, Delhi and Punjab also have 12 points each, and there is a theoretical possibility that these two teams may also manage to qualify. If SRH lose today's match against the KKR, then it will become extremely difficult for them to qualify. And it is going to be tough, because SRH has lost 4 matches consecutively now.
I doubt it will be possible for SRH to win all three matches and also maintain a good NRR. RR needs to win only a single match to qualify for the playoffs and RCB needs to win two matches to qualify. RR will be in but I still doubt RCB as they are not consistent. I still believe DC has a chance and they might be able to get through. |

 Virtually no bilateral cricket is happening in cricketing world right now but from next week this is going to change (SL vs BAN). IMO this test series might not effect points standing that much. Sri Lanka is playing spoiler role in this cycle, not in this test series tho ( Spoiler role is reserved for home test matches against Pak and Aus) -snip I really don't expect anything from Bangladesh at all in the test cricket format because they are very bad at test cricket. I can even put my trust in Afghanistan a lot more in test cricket instead of just hoping that Bangladesh wins and I become the loser. I believe Bangladesh is not good in test cricket and this has been the case since the start, believe that in comparison to Bangladesh. I do not think the Srilankan team will be playing in their right mindset considering the present economic situation in Srilanka. I believe it will affect their overall performance. I think Bangladesh has a better chance as they will have the home ground advantage and they would be mentally more stable than their counterparts. I am waiting for the test match between England & Newzealand which will be played next month. That would be a better match to watch. I believe you’re right because the Srilankan player’s will probably be distracted by the sad events taking place at home, and this will be an advantage for Bangladesh player’s but do you’ll feel that they’ll be able to capitalise on it. Furthermore I’m backing Bangladesh to win or expecting the match to end up in a draw because I feel that they’re slightly better than Srilanka due to home advantage, but it seems that many here are backing Srilanka so maybe I’m the only one underestimating Srilanka?. On papers Srilanka is a better test playing team but the situation is different at the moment and that is why I feel Bangladesh has a better chance of winning, it is possible that the end result of this series might be draw. If Bangladesh is able to draw the series then still it will be better than losing it. |

Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings
Chennai has given a target of only 97 runs, Mumbai lost 4 wickets for just 33 runs. But then Mumbai won because of a beautiful pairing of Tilak Varma and Hrithik. Tilak was unbeaten on 34 runs. Mumbai won by 103 runs in 14.5 overs. This was their third win. However, after winning this match, Mumbai's position at the bottom of the table.
Big performance from Chennai, the players should realise such a big audience is behind and watching the match. Among this 97 runs, 15 runs were from extras. So what the team have scored is 82 runs. Within this score CSK tried the best to make it a win. The last hope of CSK to playoff came to an end. What was going through Moin Ali's mind when he played that shot? Except Dhoni non of them showed the intent of batting. They were giving away their wickets to MI. This team has lost its ability to deliver simple wins. MI were on fire and only of they had played with the same intent in other matches then they would have easily entered the playoffs. |

Rajasthan Royals VS Delhi Capital
By defeating Rajasthan, Delhi still has hopes of qualifying to the next round. Although the Delhi team is a stable team, they are not playing well on a regular basis. They have won only 6 out of 12 matches. However, Delhi's performance in today's match was good. While the pitch is not batting friendly, the performances of two experienced Delhi batsmen, Mitchel Marsh and Dave Warner, have impressed everyone. If such performances continue, Delhi will reach the fourth position in the table in the next few matches.
After Rajasthan scored 160 runs, I thought Delhi was going to lose this match. Because in the last few matches we have seen that it is becoming difficult for the teams batting in the second innings to collect 100 runs. Delhi opener Srikar Bharat returned to the dressing room with zero runs. But with the help of Marsh and Warner's experienced batting, Delhi won. These two batsmen formed a partnership of 144 runs. This match would be known for the batting and bowling of Marsh. I enjoyed his batting more than his bowling and not to forget David Warner's support. 160 was a good score to chase for DC and I never thought it would be easy for DC to chase that target but these two made this win so simple. I hope DC cements its position in this season of IPL playoffs. |
