Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq has tested positive for Covid-19 in the pre-departure RT-PCR test in Jamaica. He will now quarantine out there while the rest of the team departs for Lahore.

Thank god! this did not happen in between the series otherwise the whole tournament would have been cancelled. I hope he is doing fine but the question again arises that did he break the bio bubble? If he did then what action will PCB take against its own official?

There are something which I have started disliking about Binance. First of all it has now started forcing every user to complete the KYC process. Understandably Binance is a big exchange and their are certain coins that are only listed on it. In one way or another you are now dependent on Binance. But with KYC being made compulsory I think I have to switch over to either Kucoin or Huobi.

A lot of Indians are curious about Pi Cryptocurrency. Especially those who are new to the crypto world.
The most asked question is "Is it another fraud?"

Here is my reasoning for Pi as legit crypto.
https://www.blognox.com/pi-cryptocurrency/

Is it acceptable? Your views, please.

I had never heard about this project until today. I am not sure what technology or product will be driving the demand for this coin. When half of India still believe that Bitcoin is either a Ponzi scheme or a get rich quick scheme, In such a scenario, you are selling a coin that does not have any utilization, how do they plan to sustain it for the long run?

My opinion is that it is another short term coin trying to capitalize on the present market condition until they can and then bye bye users.

The news from Zimbabwe is that Craig Ervine has been appointed as the captain. And he is the 5th captain of the Zimbabwe cricket team since 2020. Zimbabwe has named a strong squad for the tours of Scotland and Ireland, with star players such as Craig Ervine, Sean Williams and Brendan Taylor included in the squad. The matches are going to be very crucial, as Zimbabwe is currently placed at the last position of the World Cup Super league points table, with just one win from 6 matches. Ireland has 3 wins from 12 matches played so far.   
Five captains have been changed in a span of just a year. What is the Zimbabwe cricket board trying to do? Let's see whether the new captain can deliver what the board expect him to do. Zimbabwe is not a bad team they lack experience, the more matches they will play the more experience they will have. Unfortunately they do not play at lot. This needs to change for them and other teams who are ranking lower in the order.

Another great match between West Indies and Pakistan and it went till the last few overs and this time Pakistan was able to finish the match by picking all their wickets and even though one day was lost due to rain, it was a perfect ending for the match as Pakistan lost the last match as they were not pick the wickets of the tail end batsman and this time i thought the tail would hang in there and will draw the match.

The Test series is over and they should have played one more match.

I never thought an inconsistent team will be able to repeat the same performance in bowling. An intresting game overall, at one stage I thought the match is over when rain started pouring. WI needed that rain but unfortunately it did not last long. Shaheen afridi took 4 wickets in the second session and 6 in the first. Overall a good performance by the Pakistani side.
3706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 24, 2021, 12:37:44 PM
LOL.. Shaheen Shah Afridi destroyed the West Indies first innings along with Mohammad Abbas. Now suddenly Pakistan has a chance of winning this match. And they did well to score runs quickly. If full 90 overs of play is possible on the 5th day, then the chances are that Pakistan will win this test match and level the series. But any rain interruption would sink that possibility. Also the fact that Pakistan doesn't have a quality spinner in their playing XI for this test may work out against them.

I am not sure why are you so much confident that Pakistan will win this match? Pakistan is known for its inconsistency and if they performed well in the first innings does not mean they will perform well in the second one. They need to take wickets and WI needs to stay on the pitch. The last day of a test match is always entertaining.

No one is sure about the win but i think that currently odds are in favor of the Pakistan. If Pakistan can repeat the same bowling performance which they showed yesterday, there are good chances that they will take the match away from WI.
However, since its the last day, even a single big partnership by the WI can save the match and who knows they may go on for a win in they have wickets in hands in the last session of the 5th day.
That is correct one single big partnership and the match is over for Pakistan. I know Pakistan bowlers performed really well last time but if they only repeat their performance once again, will they win. Whereas WI only need to stick to the wicket till the end of the day. Another issue is the rain, if it's rain then the match will be a sure shot draw.

Pakistan has the entire day and 90 overs to pick the rest of the 9 West Indies wickets and hopefully there wont be any weather delays because Pakistan needs those 90 overs to create pressure and possibly try to win the match. It all depends upon the West Indian batsman's mentality as they will not survive if their game plan is defense alone as they need to produce some incredible innings to defend the entire day.
In the first Test i thought Pakistan could win the match in the final session but West Indies somehow was able to win by one wicket and this match can go the same way if all the 90 overs are bowled and West Indies are able to chase down the score as they need 280 runs to win at around 3.1 runs per over and they have 9 wickets in hand. Will see whether it will boil down to the last session or end up in a draw.
280 runs can be easily achieved. They have only lost 1 wicket and they will have a full day to play. Looks like Pakistan is losing the grip in this match. Pakistani bowlers have to perform really well in order to win this match. The match is in control of the WI team either they can win it or they can draw it.
3709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 22, 2021, 05:27:19 AM
And how about the West Indies team ? Do you think they are any better team than the Pakistan team ?
Seems like both team are of same nature and both needs to improve a lot on their batting ? In last test match, West Indies only won by 1 wicket and this does not stand them ahead of the opponent. There has to be a winner when you play a 5 days match with low scoring on each side.
West Indies is also not having the best team in Test and like the first match i am also expecting a close encounter and the match depends upon how long the Pakistan batsman can hang in there and how much they are going to score. Pakistan is not having the best bowling line up either but the inexperience of West Indies in the longer format will  cause problem for them.

The second day's match is being delayed due to rain. This is good for both teams. If today's match is not played due to rain, the chances of the match being drawn will increase. Because the performance of the players of both the teams is very irregular. Even after losing 3 wickets for 2 runs, Pakistan is now in a good position. I never thought they would be able to collect so many runs. Similarly, the performance of West Indies players is completely irregular.
A draw match will more favor the West Indies because they already won a test and this will give them a series win. Although its bit early to conclude the winner right now. The news is that there is only a drizzle at the moment, and the chances of whole day wash out is very less.
Lets hope that there is play and the winner is decided on the basis of the performance and not by the weather.

On the second day, no team could enter the field. Basically 90% sure that the match will be a draw. Because not even an innings is over yet. Pakistan will play at least 40 more overs. So now I don't expect to see the result of this match anymore unless a team has a very bad batting disaster.

Day 2 ended due to rain, 3 more days are left. A high chance of the match ending in a draw cannot be ruled out. It is also not certain whether the match on Day 3 will be played without any rain interruption. It is very hard for any team to win this match unless they play exceptionally well.
3710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 21, 2021, 06:47:23 AM
End of Day-1, Pakistan is able to collect 214 by losing 4. A great day for Pakistan. Because they lost 3 wickets in the first 3 overs of the match. And at the end of the day, after 74 overs, they lost 4 wickets and collected 214. Good enough collection. If Pakistan can play well in the first session of the next day, they will undoubtedly be able to collect more than 350.

Good performance from Pakistan, but they lost Babar Azam before he could get to a century. They are essentially five down, and I don't think that Fawad Alam will be able to bat. It is disappointing, because Azam and Alam rebuilt the innings, from a precarious state of 2/3. The top three batsmen (Abid Ali, Azhar Ali and Imran Butt) made a combined total of two runs, as Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales steamrolled the Pakistani top order. But the recovery made by Alam and Azam was astounding. 

Pakistan is an unpredictable team and it is too early to come into conclusion that they will be able to score 300 odd runs. They have already lost the top fous batsmen and those two who are on the pitch shoul stick their till the end of day 2. West Indies should concentrate on getting early wickets in day 2 to stop Pakistan.
3711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch introduces restrictions on gambling-related links - deadline 17 Aug on: August 21, 2021, 06:32:34 AM
It won't have much of an effect. The links are only there so the streamer can make a few extra dollars. The casino is still getting the publicity they paid for. The name of the casino will still be mentioned in the stream so people will still know where they need to go.

There are also some simple workarounds like linking to your twitter and then promoting your affiliate link on there.

I am sure big streamer would be paid only for using the name of the casino. Small-time streamers may not get benefits as affiliate links cannot be used but still, there are other ways to use such affiliate links. You only need the video and post it on different social media platforms that support affiliate links.

Most of money is still on the address - https://etherscan.io/address/0x68A99f89E475a078645f4BAC491360aFe255Dff1

It must be pain to convert all these to fiat and use them for right causes seeing how corrupt the nation is. Also, Indian exchanges don't have much liquidity.

If this amount is converted into Fiat, the government might apply a tax of 30 per cent as it is crypto. There is no law yet in India on cryptocurrency and unless there is one it is very hard for them to convert the whole amount into INR. Such a huge amount could have been utilized when the second wave was at its peak. It is possible that they are waiting for the third wave, which might happen end of this year.

I remeber it because one of my friend had filled the form with all the relevant details like his complete address(as they told they will send it through the courier) and also a phot ID proof. Which according me was to complete the KYC verification. My friend never recieved the hamper. I am not sure what steps he took later. CoinDCX has too many issues in the past, stay away from that exchange.
I filled my permanent address details but i provide any kyc verification or not, i can't remember. But from some month i don’t use coindcx exchange.

So that makes it clear that it was not just you but many others.
Either you can consider it an attempt to scam users and get their KYC details or CoinDCX tried something which they couldn't accomplish.
In both of the scenarios, CoinDCX has failed to deliver their best strategies to secure their users.
It's better to have a keen eye on CoinDCX before trusting them with your coins.
Yes, i understand that many user received this mail and completed all requirement. and i think they collect our information and KYC details.     
I would not recommend anyone here to use CoinDCX, if you are desperate then go for WazirX. There are other ways by which you can convert your crypto into INR. It is better to use Paxful as you do not need KYC for converting your cryptos to INR. For trading I would recommend Binance.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, It is an innovation that will eventually revolutionize your way of living. No one is asking you to buy 1BTC, what you can do is invest a little every month and when you think is the right time exit out and boost your earnings. You need to work smart and not work hard here. Remember you need a lot of patience and the will to hold onto your Bitcoin, no matter how many times the price dip happens.

Does anybody know whether it was an inside job or not? In these times exchanges either get hacked because the owner fled with the money or an employee became rogue.

Exchange hacking has become pretty common nowadays, still exchanges are not upgrading their security level and innocent users lose their money. This is why no one should use an exchange wallet for holding funds, it is better to always keep funds in a personal non-custodial wallet.

Solana's market cap is way too low if you compare it to the competition
Solana Hackathon in India.

In my opinion, it was supposed to happen someday. I would recommend you to keep an eye on ALGO. It will also pump in the coming days.

I don't know why their ranking is so low, but I consider them as one of the strongest associate nations. They haven't played a lot of matches lately, and that may be the reason why their ranking is low. I still remember the match between Namibia and England in 2003 world cup. At one point, Namibia was ahead in the D/L par score. ~
16 nations will participate in upcoming T20 world cup. Namibia is the last ranked team among them. All other nations staying ahead of Namibia in the Men's T20I Team Rankings. And you are talking about an old match. Things has changed a lot since than. Other cricket team has made a lot of improvement. Namibia isn't a new team in cricket. ICC should take some steps so that lower rank teams can gradually improve their performance.

What is the issue with Namibia's ranking? if their board cannot spend money for the development of the team, how can ICC help them? Does ranking matters now? If the team performs well in the world cup automatically they will get recognised and their ranking will improve. If they are out in the first round no one will be asking about them.

The new Government in Afganisthan should allow its national team to play in the upcoming world cup. They still have time and the decision should be out before the world cup starts. I do not see any reason to stop the team now from playing.

OP this is not new it is a very old and effective instrument that hackers and scammers to date still use it. People do fall for such mail and then lose everything.
