They made a total of 200 plus. You can't ask anything more from a team such as Ireland, which always lose their best players to England. The batsmen did what they could, but this time the bowlers failed miserably. Lack of consistency is the problem. Even Josh Little was very expensive during his first spell, before taking three quick wickets to put England in a worrisome position.

It was quite obvious. I will add Titan to my list of shitcoins, as they are using scammers to promote it. BTW, I have seen at least 4-5 posts here in this forum, arguing that Tether is a good investment option. I fail to understand the logic behind this. If you want to invest in the USD, then you can make the investment directly. Why you want to go for a risky option such as the USDT?

Italy and Spain were facing issues for quite some time. They are being kept afloat by Germany. Essentially after the departure of the United Kingdom, the EU has become a family business run by Angela Merkel. German fund inflows are keeping the other members alive. But in the long term, this is not going to be beneficial for countries such as Italy. Australia/New Zealand had a strong economy even before the pandemic. And with the mining industry in good condition, Australia has nothing to worry.

Take a look at the new users who are registering to this forum. 99% of them would be money-minded. They don't want to work hard, but they expect to become millionaires in a day or two. They always dream about a repeat of what we had in 2012-2017, when the Bitcoin prices went from $10 to $20,000. And these people get disheartened, when they witness the prices remaining stable for many months (or even years).

This time, they have a proper qualifying format, unlike the sham they had for the 2019 CWC. Out of the 13 teams taking part in the ODI Super League, only 8 teams will be getting the automatic qualification for the 2023 CWC. If you remember, the qualification process for the 2019 Cricket World Cup was very unfair for the associate teams. But still, I would say that we can't call this tournament as a World Cup, if just 10 teams are taking part.

These coins/tokens are mostly dead. They are having a nominal value, only because there are users like you who continue to hold on to them. But eventually, those who hold these coins are going to dump them, or just ignore them. As time passes by, the trade volume will go down and at a certain point the coin/token will get delisted from the exchanges for lack of activity.

I had posted this before. The COVID virus is present in micro-droplets, which are released when a person sneezes or coughs. These microdroplets remain more active in temperate climate, while they get quickly evaporated in more warmer regions. That doesn't mean that those living in warm regions can't get the infection from air. It just means that the chances are lower when compared to the colder regions.

Agreed. Most of the EU nations seems to have recovered from the pandemic. For example, each of the EU countries which were hit most severely (such as the UK, France, Italy and Spain) used to witness as much as 1,000 deaths per day. Now this figure is down to single digits. That is a 99% reduction (an exception would be the UK, where the reduction is only around 90%). On the other hand, in the United States the daily death toll is still hovering around 1,000-1,500.

Earlier I used to read reviews from various ICO review sites before investing in any such projects. But later, I realized that many of these review sites are also biased. In some cases they take money from the projects, in return for favorable reviews. So we can't blindly trust any of these sites. It will be better to rely on reviews from multiple review sites, and to do your own research.

These restrictions doesn't make any sense. Nowadays people can easily travel from one country to another. Ban on gambling is not very effective, because the gamblers can simply travel to another country and do their trade there. The only impact will be on the country which banned gambling, because they are going to lose tax revenue and job generation. Restrictive laws doesn't work anymore.

Postponed? There is no WIPL to be postponed. The BCCI usually allows a few exhibition matches in between the IPL and that's it. The women's cricketers have been requesting them to start a tournament, but till now the BCCI have ignored their demands. Obviously if they start a tournament, it is not going to benefit them in financial terms. But they need to do something for the women's cricketers, who get paid only a fraction of what the men are getting.

If a particular cryptocurrency is not suitable for long-term investment, then you can always go for short-term holding, ranging from anywhere between 1 month to 12 months. What is the need to engage in risky day trading? I am saying this because many of the altcoins are heavily manipulated and the prices can swing  by +/- 30% within a few hours. Unless you have an idea about the manipulation, it is very risky to be involved with them.

LOL... Biden is almost 78 years of age. By the time his first term ends, he will be 82. And from what I have heard, he is having all sorts of health issues haunting him even now. Trump is not that young, but he is in a much more healthier state. So it is almost certain that the Democrat VP pick will be the nominee for the 2024 POTUS elections.

Bitcoin is also not 100% safe. You need to use relative comparison here. There are some altcoins, which can be trusted more than the others. Examples are Cardano, Ether, Litecoin and NEO. And at the same time, there are altcoins and tokens which can be termed as shitcoins. If you want to be successful while investing, then you need to differentiate between these two types.

At one point, England was struggling at 141/6 and still required another 70 plus runs with just 4 wickets in hand. But the Irish bowlers failed to pick quick wickets, and as a result they lost the match. This was a golden opportunity for Ireland to grab media headlines, but they wasted it. It was the lower order batsman David Willey who propelled England to victory.

Same here. None of them are consistent. Some of these experts may predict the prices accurately for a few months. But all of a sudden, their predictions will go haywire. If you rely on them, then you may amass huge losses. The biggest problem is related to the dips (such as the ones we had in 2015 and 2018). I don't think that anyone had accurately predicted those dips.

Even if they win a single test against England, it is going to be an achievement. England is one of the big 3 teams, and they are on top form right now. Also, the win may help them in the World Test Championship table. An overseas victory may help them a lot to maintain their distance with the bottom ranking teams, such as West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

The bounty hunters don't have any collective bargaining power, and this is the reason why the project teams are treating them like beggars. The problem here is that there are too few projects and too many bounty hunters. At least a section of the bounty hunters are ready to join even the most exploitative campaigns. They think that it is important to gain some experience, even if that means that they may go unrewarded.

The BCCI is once again giving some lollipops to the women cricketers. Check here:

He is trying to fool the women cricketers. What they need is a franchise T20 league, similar to the WBBL in Australia. What the BCCI is offering them is a few (2-3) exhibition matches in between the IPL schedule. This reluctance from the part of the BCCI is really surprising. If CA can sponsor a women's tournament, then why can't the BCCI do it? Initially they can go for a small tournament, with just 3-4 teams.

India "had" some world class spin bowlers. But I am not sure whether that is the case now. Bowlers such as Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who can't perform in overseas conditions can't be termed as world class players. Anyway, Ashwin is close to retirement age. India had world class spinners, such as Harbhajan Singh. But the current bunch (Ashwin, Kuldeep, Yuzvendra.etc) are not at the same level. Right now, the Indian pace lineup looks world class, but not the spinners.
