Australia tour happened two years ago. Why you want to live in the past? Players like Kohli, Hard dick, Rahane, Siraj and Pujara are constantly underperforming ever since then. Since Kohli was the captain, he persisted with these people and never allowed any younger players to replace them. Only after he was dropped, promising youngsters like Venkatesh Iyer and Suryakumar could find a place in the playing XI. India is a country with 1.4 billion population and cricket is the favorite sport by a distance. If they can't perform well even in cricket, then a few questions will be asked.
Muhammad Siraj is still in squad for test series against SL. Muhammad Siraj must take this opportunity seriously else he will be dropped like Pandya, Rahane and Pujara. Once you are dropped from squad and asked to play in domestic to prove your fitness and form it becomes difficult to find your place in squad. Kohli is in squad for SL test series but not for T20 series. Kohli will be very soon a history if he stayed in his current form for few more series. Suraj has only played 12 test matches till now and has taken 36 wicket. As a bowler his performance in test is good and he might be the replacement of Ishant sharma or bhuvnesh kumar in the future. If he performs well in the upcoming test series with SL then he might become a permanent bowler for India. Kohli is going through a rough patch now. I am sure he will regain his form soon |

If the ICC provide Nepal with at least 5% of the funds they waste on Zimbabwe every year, then we will get more players like Sandeep Lamichhane. Nepal is a cricket crazy nation, but they lack adequate facilities and infrastructure. The second phase of qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup will start from July onward. A total of 8 nations are participating, and out of that 2 are guaranteed entry to the main tournament. Favorites are Netherlands and Zimbabwe, but given the recent performances I guess Papua New Guinea and the United States also have good chances of reaching the final.
If Nepal is also cricket crazy country then why they are not getting some help from India like Afghanistan is getting from Pakistan. Players like Muhammad Shahzad and Muhammad Nabi used to play in Pakistan domestic teams before joining in Afghanistan national squad. Muhammad Shahzad was part of HBL team while Nabi played for Pakistan customs. BCCI should do something to lift cricket standards in Nepal since they are very much dependent on India. There is no comparison between Afghanistan and Nepal. Why would India help Nepali cricket, they do have a cricket board and it's is the job of the board to uplift players. Already BCCI has got enough players to take care within India. If Nepali players perform well they do have chance of being selected for IPL. |

Players must be taken as players but in India too much light is thrown on cricketers as if they are some super human. If kohli speaks against Indian festivals then its entirely fault of India that they have given him so much importance as cricketer that he is now lecturing them on matters other then cricket.
What he say or do apart from cricket is secondary thing Prime thing is he is consistently not performing in all formats of cricket and BCCI has no objection on his current form then he will continue to play like that.
South Asian countries are crazy about cricket and cricketers. This situation of too much light thrown on cricketers is not only concentrated in India but its neighbouring countries too. In my opinion, Kohli should have been given another chance he did perform well in the second T20 match. If he had played in the third T20 match then it would have helped him to regain his lost form. It would have helped him in the upcoming test cricket. |

Afghanistan 215/10 - 49.1
After batting first, Afghanistan failed to reach a respectable score. During their 50th over, Afghanistan lost their last wicket.
Najibullah Zadran scores 67 off 84 balls to take them to 200. However, Afghanistan is still an average total despite his good performance. The total is possible for Afghanistan to defend because its bowling attack is superior to Bangladesh's. In other case, Bangladesh's team will easily chase the run because they have great batsmen like Shakib, Tamim, Rahim.
215 is not a good score in an ODI. Bangladesh will easily win this match and as expected this match has become a one-sided match. Now days you need a minimum of 250 runs on board if you want to win a match. The lower middle-order of Afghanistan was completely destroyed with a couple of batters getting out for a duck. |

Thanks, @JSRAW for the DM related to IPL pool discussion. I am interested in joining the pool. I am okay with the entry fee of $30 but as @Vaskiy wrote above if the entry fee is in the range of $20-$25 then more people will be willing to participate. More participants in the pool will automatically increase the price money.

Afghanistan tour of Bangladesh starts 23rd. Three ODIs will be played between these two teams. Bangladesh is hot favourite as they have won the last two bilateral series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Afghanistan on the other hand has performed very well in recent times. I am sure they would like to win a few matches in this series.

The Indian T20 side has advanced its rank following a 3-0 series sweep against West Indies. India is now ranked first in the ICC men's T20I rankings. In t20 format, the West Indies usually do better, so it was surprising to see them lost the series 3-0. Rohit Sharma's captaincy deserves special mention. T20 cricket is dominated by India, while Australia won a World Cup and ranked sixth.
Just saw the ranking after reading your post. England is not far away from India they only need a few more points to top the chart. They will be playing with India in the month of July next. 3 T20 matches will be played at that time and if England wins the series then I am sure they will top the chart. Pakistan is ranked third in that list. |

India is rocking thanks to Surya Kumar and Shreyas Iyer. They both were very agressive in the death overs. I think Westindies side forgot to shout for a plum LBW.
Shephard was the bowler and if I am correct Yadav was facing him. The ball hit the right leg pad for me it was a LBW but I may be wrong. This was in the 17th over and I think he was out.
Edit- 7/1 Westindies, India is going for a whitewash.

India VS Westindies
The third and the final T20 match is scheduled for today. India are the favourite for this match but after seeing the last performance of the WI team I think today's match will be very close. WI will try their level best to win the last match of this tour. Virat Kohli has been rested I am not sure why he is being rested for the third match. He did score more than 50 runs in the last match and this match could have helped him to regain his form.

Good luck on sending a tip and paying the double in fees.
So what does this have to do with Bitcoin? Move it to the Altcoin Discussion.
One of the main things i do have in mind or having impression that what about the fees? How they would consider it out those transfers? considering gas fees now are on the rooftop. It isnt really worth on making such integration but its not bad to have that one but it wont really be that practical.It would be better if they would really be tending to add up other crypto which does have less fees and almost instant confirmation. I do not think this will help anyone. The gas fee are pretty high at the moment for a $5 tip you would be paying $25 as fee approximately. Bitcoin fee are still less than Ethereum it will be much better to tip someone with Bitcoin than Ethereum. They should add those coins that have less transaction fee otherwise people will use fiat to tip their favourite content creator |

Australia have lost thier 3rd wicket and they are 58 for 3 wickets after 10 overs. Even loosing 3 wickets maxwell in looking good and batting at a good strike rate. Srilanka would need to get rid of him quickly other wise he cam cause a lot of damage and can take Australia even above 160 runs.
Its Wade and Maxwell who did the job for Australia by scoring 43 and 29 runs. I would say 154 is still a reachable target and Sri Lanka must win today to avoid whitewash. There are two debutant in Sri Lanka squad today both are batsmen Kamil Mishara and Janith Liyanage. SL started there inning well 8/0 in 2 overs. Srilanka lost its opener for just 23 runs. A couple of quick wickets by the Australian side now will certainly help them to win this match. I am sure Srilanka wants to win this match desperately otherwise this series will be a whitewash. Second wicket gone for Srilanka. This match is now completely one sided. |

^^ Point taken but hardly a early stage because points distribution system is based on match percentage, not series and also if we look at fixtures then Pakistan and SL are playing (5) majority of their series in subcontinent, which is favorable condition to them so one would expect them to perform well in subcontinent in comparison to SENA countries.
Indian squad for 2 test series against Sri Lanka * Ashwin's selection will depend on his fitness, he's injured atm. * Surprisingly India went with tested combination of Jaddu-Ash and Axar-Washi are left out from the squad so it seems pitches are going to be pace friendly, makes sense as Lankan's spinners are no dummy.  Thank God Pujara and Rahane have been excluded from the test squad. It is now official that Rohit Sharma will now be the test captain for India. Axar patel replacement is Saurabh Kumar, he is also a left arm spinner. He has been playing well in domestic cricket and that is why he was selected. Last I read Ashwin was still injured I am not sure why he was selected? |

Crypto community should also block the highways and make the local resident's life hell for year or so but gov still won't hear us because majority of our community belongs to a category who happily pay taxes for their own exploitations.
The government always want to squeeze the middle class. You are right majority of us belong to the middle class hoping to to reach the upper class but as usual the government would not allow it and would always find a way to milk this cow. |

I believe developers saw the the vision of Bitcoin and try to explore from the vision by introducing and making their own coin but they lost focus because they only have one goal in mind which is making money, forgetting the most vital ingredients in developing an asset. They forget that they are certain steps and strategies to undergo before accomplishing a good assets or goal.
Some of the reasons why I think some developers fail is because:
1. Lack of funding both the starting aspect and the launching aspect (lack of money to continue)
2. Failure in out righting frauds
3. Failure to evolve especially when the coin initially start bomming
Most developers have only one vision which is making money that is why many coins doesn't grow and they failed because they didn't see the vision ahead.
Almost all projects that failed did not have a vision. They just followed the hype and created a duplicate project, thinking to cash on the hype. Eventually such projects end up being dead. Look at the meme hype, practically everyday a new meme coin is being launched to cash the meme hype but only a few were able to do so. They are not developers but opportunist who think they will make it to the moon. Some of them were successful with it and most of them lost the race. The problem is with the community. Most of us here have invested in such project because they want to be at the moon in a short time. |

I will sign that petition without fail. But did change .org was able to change anything at all over the last couple of years? Crypto is much more sensitive than it is being shown by the government.
Especially when RBI is strongly pushing back and asking government to ban cryptocurrency from India. Even today the Dy. Governor of RBI spoke up against cryptocurrency.
The hashtag trending is a good thing but the Finance Ministry is under huge pressure to ban cryptos from the banking lobby. Let's hope the finance Ministry will stick to its decision of not banning cryptocurrency.
28k AVG shipping yard scam is the biggest dent to many banks reputation. I doubt the lobby would be able to do something now. I shared this initiative here so that everyone who has been quite active on this board support the cause. Regardless of the outcome we can all give it a try as it is for our own benefit. |

Bounty is a kind of marketing system or marketing through social platforms. To promote a project on a project, you have to remove that project through different social platforms and share it to make the token viral in that project and reach out to everyone. The new one actually takes its place in the market by introducing it to everyone.
Bounty has been a great way to earn some free money, a lot of bounty hunters becomes successful because of so many projects who are willing to give money in return or something. This can be a contest, a marketing campaign or just a free airdrop for doing nothing. Hoping that bounty will last forever as long as cryptomarket is here. At the beginning of the appearance of the bounty, many people benefited greatly from this program, but the journey until now has decreased because of the results of the bounty prize, many projects are no longer as successful as in 2017-2018, even if compared to now, there is quite a difference between now and the previous year, there is a slight setback in my opinion the bounty program now, when compared to 2017-2018, I don't know what influenced the difference I also don't know. 2017-2018 I think it's a difficult year for hunters where there are many scam projects, unpaid and many more dilemmas from bounty it's true that the bounty is a marketer system or whatever the point is freelance workers to market crypto projects but keep in mind that being a hunter is not as beautiful as imagined with great and maximum results, everything takes a process and many stories about social media fighters 2019 onwards has been bad for bounty hunters. 2017-18 were the good days I am not sure which bounty project you had worked at that time but most project that I worked helped me in making good money. There are absolutely very less bounties now days that can help you in earning a three figure amount. It is absolutely a waste of time now. |

All done and dusted. South Africa blown away for just 111 runs in their second innings after their two digit total in the first. This time Tim Southee Picked up 5 wickets, while Matt Henry finished with a match total of 9. Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson also picked up crucial wickets. South African batting resembled like an amateur club side, and their bowling wasn't much better either. And New Zealand did all this without some of their key players such as Trent Boult, Adam Milne, Glenn Phillips and Kane Williamson.
In just three days NZ ended the test match. Getting defeated by an innings and 276 runs proves it will not be easy for SA in next and last test match. They comfortably had beaten India before this test match, what happened now? Great bowling by Tim Southee those 5 wickets are the reason for NZ win |

It was a big match for India, at the beginning it looked like a winning match for India. Once West Indies started its batting the winning turned towards West Indies. It was quite surprising to see Pooran and Powell make a good partnership. However the winning credit goes to Bhuvanesh Kumar who restricted West Indies batsmen to score just 4 runs in the 19th over. Finally India have won the match by 8 runs.
I thought West Indies would win the match as they had wickets in hand and Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran were batting well and they had Kieron Pollard to come out to bat when i last saw the scoreboard and yet India was able to win. Bhuvanesh Kumar who was leaking runs came to the rescue this time and won the match for India. Either way i missed the last few overs and i need to watch the highlights again. WI could have easily won this match thanks to slow run rate they lost it. Indian fielding was pretty bad yesterday they dropped a lot of catch. If they had taken those catch then WI could not have scored so many runs. Ravi Bishnoi and Chahal were good with the ball but they did not get good fielding support. Now India will be playing for a complete whitewash in the next match and WI would like to win the last match to save their face. |

Second T20 match between India and the Westindies will be played today. The venue of this match is the same. Players to watch out Ravi Bishnoi and Venkatesh Iyer from the Indian side. I am sure India would like to win this match to win the series and Westindies would like to win it to level the series.
Again India are clear favorites to win this match and with it win the t20 series as well. I wanted to place bet on india but the odds are really less on India. Ravi bishnoi bowled really well in the first t20 match and he will do well again. I am expecting virat to score some runs in this match may be a 50. Ravi Bishnoi is a very aggressive spinner somewhat like Anil kumble. This bowling combination of Bishnoi and Chahal was one of the reason for the last match win. Kohli has been out of form and I am not expecting a lot from him in this match too. |
