Hahaha. I also thought Sri Lanka would try to win. But he is still showing a terrible performance. Sri Lanka gave a target of only 121 runs. South Africa has scored 102 runs and has not lost a wicket yet. South Africa needs just 19 runs off 45 balls to win. I know Sri Lankan bowlers don't bowl well, but I didn't think they would do so poorly today. Sri Lankan bowlers need to be more experienced if they want to perform well in the T20 World Cup.
Pathetic performance by Sri Lankan cricket team. All of these players are in Sri Lankan T20 world cup squad. I'm wondering how far they will reach with this kind of performance. The Lions may remain silent without roaring. They will be knocked out from the group stage of the world cup if Sri Lankan players can't improve their performance.

It is a complete whitewash, SL defeated by a comparatively new SA team. In just 20 overs they were able to score 120 runs, what happened to the SL batsmen. SL needs to find good bowlers as they had earlier. If this is the final team for the T20 WorldCup I doubt they will survive the knockout round.

Recent test cancellation is strongly criticised by fans and media in England as its clearly for IPL. And this clearly show how strong BCCI is. No one can confront BCCI as everyone wants IPL contract.
I disagree. Some fans like me didn't criticise the test cancellation since we agreed with India's decision who weren't willing to take risks due to their physios getting infected.

ECB wanted India to forfeit in order to save face, but the BCCI weren't dumb enough to succumb to their demands. Also, Pakistan players aren't part of the IPL in recent years due to tensions between India and Pakistan(Not just the BCCI).

Those fans who have criticised the Indian team and the board should understand that the Indian team support staff was quarantine. How can a team play a five-day game when they do not have support. It is just simple common sense which the media and so-called fans do not have it seems.

What is going on?

This has been happening since 2018. Either the government does not know what they want or those sources these media houses have just trying to create FUD and panic among the crypto community. The government has to make a decision fast they cannot keep everyone hanging in between.

Most of those who are in the ruling party never went to college or have an idea about Information technology. All decisions are being taken by the PMO about the current economic situation whereas the FMO is sitting ideal. Do you think an officer in PMO is trained to take such a decision?

RBI reports to the FMO and not the PMO this is causing too much confusion within the depratments.

Papua New Guinea scored only 62 runs in 19.2 overs. They have already lost 4 wickets. Although I did not think they could win by batting for 272 runs. Even then, if Papua New Guinea can score 200 runs, I think it will be a good collection for them. But now looking at their batting I think they will lose all their wickets in 130-140.

International cricket is moving heavily towards richer boards such as USA and UAE, who can import mercenary players from countries such as India, Pakistan and South Africa. Even here in this match, PNG was fielding a 100% native side. USA didn't had any citizens in their playing XI. But you can clearly see that PNG is not being able to compete against the United States. And this is repeated across all the regions. Even in Europe, teams with 100% expat sides are thrashing those with native players. Same in Asia as well.

I would say this is a good sign for a lot of talented young cricketers from SENA countries who are struggling to get into their A team or even in the T20 franchise. They are getting a good opportunity to show their talent and also earn a decent amount of money. Their performance will also encourage a lot of local young talent to become a cricketer.

There is no doubt that we will be living like this for the next 5 years or possibly more and what clear cut rule does they make during these circumstances.
We might be living in a bubble for the next 5 years but the only India is having the problem of players or the non player staff getting infected. The IPL was stopped due to players getting infected and now the Indian coaching staff got infected. I am not sure how they are getting infected when they are in the bubble, the ICC needs to investigate those as it is happening frequently.

Lack of discipline is the reason most Indian players are getting infected. I am sure this time BCCI will in place strict rules and guidelines for players and staff who will be present for the IPL tournament. They should also put in place strict punishment not only for the players but the franchise too if they want the IPL to end smoothly this time.

It is just routine happening with Bitcoin price,the fall was not to be worried,it just lost 5-6 thousand dollars in value which for Bitcoin knowing the high volatility of it I would say it is rather normal.I don't think El Salvador has nothing to do with it,that is the first country to embrace Bitcoin as a legal currency there so in the long term this should only be beneficial to Bitcoin.The next wave I am waiting to be finally that 100.000 dollars for a Bitcoin which I predict to happen in December 2021 and I don't see any obstacle during the way to not make this happen,this is just my prediction though because in crypto nothing is sure.


It is not just a routine thing. There is a little negative news in the market that might have triggered this dump. Of course, whales are always busy manipulating the market. There is profit booking and weak hand dumping that is also affecting the Bitcoin price. All in one package is presently causing this market to go into the red. Historically market always goes into the red before November. This is the best time to accumulate as much we can.

New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat in the last T20 match. Finn Allen played a devastating inning of 41 off 24 balls. He has batted brilliantly. My guess is that New Zealand will be able to collect 145-150 runs. Shoriful Islam has been given a place in the team today as a replacement for Mustafiz. He bowled 3 overs and gave 38 runs.

You were right NZ destroyed BAN in the last T20 match. Bangladesh lost because they were too overconfident that they will win the last match. From the beginning, their bowlers were not attacking the NZ batsmen still they were able to restrict them to 161. Which as per me was not a big score considering the number of experienced batsmen Bangladesh have. Still, they were not able to reach that score. This shows how committed these players are and what level of professionalism they have.

This is the first time in my 36 years of watching cricket a series is hanging on the ropes for the decision by the ICC   Cheesy. Yesterday the Indian team was cleared to play the match but today someone got positive test results and so is the reason they decided to not play and since we are going through a pandemic the ICC will rule this as an abandoned match or they will reschedule the match at a later time which i think is appropriate.
ECB has clearly said that the new rescheduled match would be considered as a one-off test and not the part of this series, so ideally India has won this series as of now, but I don't think any sort of felicitation would take place, so accept it or not but the whole series which gave us so many good matches has been wiped off due to the Pandemic, while BCCI claims that Covid is the reason for the postponement, ECB say that BCCI is giving IPL more importance that the bilateral commitments that it has made with ECB, if this remains the scene I won't be surprised if ECB stops its players from going to IPL this time.

 I enjoyed every bit of this tournament. I was expecting that the last match would happen because players had tested negative but ECB decided not to go with it and BCCI accepted their request. In the end, India won the series and the last match if happens does not matter now. IPL is important for BCCI as it is one event that generated a lot of revenue for the Indian board. ECB if they stop their players from earning money from IPL will suffer more. There is no way they can stop their players from playing in one of the most lucrative tournament in cricket history. The players might not agree to any negative decision made by ECB on IPL.

Tomorrow Bangladesh will play the last match of the series against New Zealand. Bangladesh has already won the series. The senior players of the Bangladesh team may not perform in the next match. New players will be given a chance in this match. The kind of pitch that Bangladesh has created, it is not possible to predict which team will perform well on this pitch. My idea is that Bangladesh will win the last match as a home team.

I have no doubts that Bangladesh will win the match. This new Newzealand team is no match for an experienced squad like Bangladesh. They have been dominating this series from day one. They have not only bowled well but have also batted well. They have already one the series and this match would be just a practise match for  them.
3651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 10, 2021, 01:05:41 AM
The second ODI between Papua New Guinea and the United States of America will take place shortly thereafter. There is no cricket match to enjoy today so I will enjoy this match. Papua New Guinea will perform on the group stage of the upcoming T20 World Cup. So I'm interested in watching them play this match.
Both teams are very weak. If we look at the ICC ODI rankings, we can see that the United States of America is ranked 19th in the rankings, and Papua New Guinea is ranked 20th. However, USA collected 44 runs in 14 overs and they lost 3 wickets. Since both teams are very weak, it is not possible to say that the match will be won. At any time, anything can happen.
@CryptoBuds I wasn’t even aware that USA had a team for cricket, and now I’m actually planning to see this match as I want to see how they’re playing. Lastly USA have scored 75 runs and have lost 4 wickets, hence if they score 250 runs then I feel that they’ll be able to defend it.
I learned last month that the USA has a cricket team. I was not aware of this team before. However, I still have to watch today's match. With the help of Jaskaran Malhtra's 173 runs, USA collected 271 runs. Jaskaran has scored 173 runs off just 124 balls. He hit 6 over-boundary in the last over. A new record for him. He has hit 16 sixes in the entire match. Extremely impressive batting.

Jaskaran Malhotra's unbeaten innings of 163 was the reason why the USA team was able to give a huge target when the other batsmen of the team failed completely. Jaskaran Malhotra’s innings were really very exciting. Jaskaran Malhotra is a USA player but his birthplace is India. He joined the USA national team in 2019. He is the wicket keeper + batsman of the team.


Hey guys can someone tell me which platform or where is this match being streamed online? I have no clue where to watch. After reading all the comments it seems this match is interesting. Is this a test or a one day match and apart from USA which other teams are playing?
3652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: September 10, 2021, 01:00:45 AM
What i heard from the news is that there is a covid scare in the Indian camp and will see how things will pan up as some of the coaching staff is infected and we should wait till the test results to come out to know whether everyone is fit to play the match.
https://sports.ndtv.com/england-vs-india-2021/england-board-wants-india-to-forfeit-5th-test-bcci-says-will-play-if-players-test-negative-sources-2535648

The final test will go ahead as planned since some coaches and a staff member tested positive, but the all players tested negative which is great news.

Also, the ECB actually wanted India to forfeit the final match which key Indian players(Virat and Rohit) absolutely refused and I completely agree with them. Forfeiting the final test would ruin this amazing series between India and England.

If the Indian team would have accepted the ECB offer then India would have won the series comfortably. Virat took the right decision to continue with the final match as players have not tested positive. The final match would be more interesting as England has the chance to draw this tournament if they win the match.

3653  Local / India / Re: Banks are repotedly softening their stance on crypto trading on: September 09, 2021, 01:23:51 AM
I don't know what triggered that sudden change in stance of Indian banks, but I don't think there is any solid discussion happening at bank's level to allow cryptocurrency purchase through their channel. Indian banks are anyways in a very bad shape. Now if cryptos are allowed in India, that might worsen their situation. People are not investing in banks because of the lowest interest rate, that money is channelled to stock market and if banks start supporting crypto companies, a good chunk of that investment will further move out from them. But if it finally happens, good for those people interested in cryptos.

Still, banks do earn when one of their clients invest in the stock market or mutual funds using their platform. Whereas the only way banks might make money from the crypto market is by charging their client a service fee. I am sure they will be adding weird service charges in the future. They always make money from their customer and not for their customers.

Apart from project development, you can post it on the Announcement board. If you are also interested in creating a small buzz among the community then you can also start a bounty about your project and post it here.

BTW, what you are developing is common, there are several websites that do provide such information. I am interested to know what different you guys are creating that makes your project unique.

India have a great chance at creating records if they somehow manage to win the final test. Bumrah will be rested and Rahane might be replaced by Vihari or Yadav(I would choose Vihari personally).
India already created history in this series by winning in Lord's and The Oval and if there was no rain interruption in the first Test match i am certain that India would have won that match as well. Ajinkya Rahane should be rested as he is low in confidence and not scoring runs and i would like to see Suryakumar Yadav making his debut. Jasprit Bumrah is the main bowler and i do not think he will be rested unless he is injured.



Rahane is not in form at the moment but still, he has the ability to drag the batting till the end of the session. India is already leading the series and this is not the time to change the team as the next match will be the last one. I think they should continue will the current team if they want to win this series.

Indian squad for the T-20 WC

Quote
TEAM - Virat Kohli (Capt), Rohit Sharma (vc), KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul Chahar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohd Shami.

Stand by/Reserve : Shreyas Iyer, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar

Dhoni also joining the team but as a Mentor, good move.
https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1435629154565824515
Did the BCCI included Dhoni to satisfy his fan following, not sure what he is going to do as i am hearing this for the first time someone who did not get a proper retirement because of situations beyond anyone's control getting appointed as a mentor. I would have liked to see him play one match and then make his retirement and allow the youngsters to continue because i consider him as the best captain during his time.

Dhoni is the only Indian captain who has won the T20 world cup and adding him as a mentor will always help the team. I do not think this move by BCCI was to satisfy Dhoni's fans. I also feel that his playing time is over and now he should consider doing such activities for the next generation. The team looks good on paper but how well they perform on the field that matters.

I intend to purchase some BTCs/ETHs into my blockchain wallet but I'm still sceptical about which of the coins is better and won't fall below the water. I am asking this because I don't understand how the cryptocurrency market works yet.

BTC or ETH? I would appreciate your suggestions, thanks.

The best suggestion to you would be to first understand what is a cryptocurrency and how it works? Please do not invest without knowing about Bitcoin or Ethereum. Since you are new to this forum it would be better if you can be active here and learn about them. There is a dedicated board for Bitcoin and on this board, you can talk about altcoins. Read a few articles about both Bitcoin and Ethereum by searching them on Google. Do not invest in something which you do not understand otherwise you will lose your capital.

Why is South Africa so shitty these days? I put some money on them against Siri Lanka ... hoping that they would play much harder... to not have to playoff to qualify, but they never turned up for the bloody game!

I thought that would be a sure thing.... but it is very disappointing.  Angry   I hope they will turn up for their next bloody game or I will write them off for the future. (Politics are messing with the team selection and it shows)  Sad Sad Sad

SA has been performing shitty for quite some time now. There was nothing to suggest that they will win as their batsmen have not been performing as expected by them. The score was just 203 and they were not able to chase it, imagine how bad they have batted. You should have checked their previous performance before putting money on them.
3659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 08, 2021, 12:57:01 AM
The pitch is really playing a good role in every match its an easy thing that the subcontinent is always make such a crease mostly in Bangladesh .However Newzealand played really on the last match they won .The series become more interesting now .The next match is schedule on tomorrow .Newzealand will try hard to make it 2-2 on the other hand Bangladesh will try to win the series before the last match .Let's see what really happen on Mirpur in Banglasdesh.

Anything will be a bonus for New Zealand. Remember that they sent such a young team to Bangladesh, and they got whacked in the first two matches. But they came back strongly in the third match, with the Kiwi spinners routing the much more experienced Bangladeshi batsmen. If they could make it 2-2, then it will be some sort of an achievement. And in all probability, it will give a big boost for New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup. Also, it needs to be remembered that Bangladesh needs to play the qualifier stage, while New Zealand goes directly to the main stage of the world cup.

You are expecting too much from and a fresh team like NZ. One win by them does not mean they will be able to level the series. Bangladesh whereas is far much experienced and this will be an advantage for them today. I am sure they would come back and win today's match. It is highly unlikely that NZ will win this series.
3660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 08, 2021, 12:53:46 AM
Sri Lanka managed to score 154 runs. They lost 6 wickets but Charith Asalanka is still at the crease. He is in good form now. If he stays at the crease, Sri Lanka will be able to collect more than 220 runs. Sri Lanka's current run rate is 4.12. I don't think Sri Lanka will win if they score less than 250 runs. The pitch is batting-friendly. Yet both parties are now unstable. These cannot be predicted in advance.
Both teams found it hard to score in the match. Maybe it wasn't a batting friendly pitch. Sri Lankan team hasn't given a big target, but South Africa lost the match by 78 runs. They lost all of their wickets in 125 runs. Finally Sri Lanka won a ODI series after so long. It's really hard to make the prediction when both teams start the game with few many new players.
The hosts displayed an incredible performance, particularly in the spin attack. After scoring 203, SL gave SA a tough time with their bowling. Credit goes to the mystery spinner Maheesh Theekshana, become the first Sri Lankan bowler to take five wickets in an ODI appearance. It is obvious that he is well-versed in bowling. Despite being young, Sri Lanka's squad is capable of competing against any team. Sri Lanka performed exceptionally well after a while.

As expected Sl won the series, they are a far better side than the SA. From the beginning, SA batsmen were struggling to play the ball. Good tight and precise balling by the SL bowlers, fielding was also very good. 203 was not a big target to defend but SA batsmen have had no clue what was happening in the field.
