I didn't know Dube could bowl, used to watch him in CSK last IPL, but he never bowled there, did he? Anyway, good for him, hopefully he stays consistent in his performance. He is sorta like Yuvraj, don't you think? Can bowl and aggressive with bating.

On bold part, whenever Jadeja is available, other all-rounders are ignored, in significant matches of course. Tho I find that Jadeja has lost touch with his batting abilities lately.


Yes, he can and he didn't bowl single over in 2023 but he did in 2022 and went in vain for CSK. Dube got back his confiedence last year from his batting and he also worked in his bowling later on which we can see evidently with the variations and back of the hand slow ball to take the wicket in yesterday's match as well.

I can see experts says he can bowl better than this if he is given the freedom of soing it and he can nail short balls at 135+ which can be lethal due this his height factor but so far he is going defensive and trying to be economical.

Jadeja got slight edge over Axar which is his fielding if I am not wrong, Dube can be groomed as a backup for Hardik because he seems to be injusry prone and when he is injured the team combination has to be changed completely due to the absense of fast bowling all rounder.

Mukesh Kumar didn't get a single wicket, that was weird, he would have probably gotten one if he completed 4 over quota.

I am actually expecting to see Virat Kohli in the T20I worldcup squad.

Everyone does. If he doesn't make into T20wc squad, Indian population will riot, and I'm not saying this in exaggerated sense.

The pitch is very flat and not everyone will get lucky to get wicket on a track like this, but he has skills which he proved in the test match against AFG so there won't be any harm if he go wicketless. And that is why Axar is excellent to concede 17 runs on a pitch like that.

Kohli will play and Rohit too, no matter what unless they are not willing to for their own reasons. Rohit desperately wanted some run on his back but no worries the big tournament is waiting where he can show all his destructiveness.

As of the current combination, it looks like there is no place for KL Rahul and Gill in playing XI.

India won the game very comfortably, with 4.2 overs to spare and again Dube proved his all ability and becoming strong contender for the all-rounder spot, and surely he will come into consideration is he can repeat same kind of performance for CSK with his bowling.

This is 10th consecutive Bilateral series win for team India in home and the streak continues since 2019.

Axar the man of the match and he really deserved for his extraordinary consistent performances and he was really unlucky to miss the WC last year.

It's ok to me if India loses today, will keep series alive until 3rd game, otherwise there is no charm left to watch last game Grin
No way Man...
There can be no question of India defeat in today's match because India can never lose this target of 172 runs in a venue where Afghanistan can give a target of 172 runs. But if some players of Afghanistan tried to do better then the runs would have been above 190 runs but Mohammed Nabi 14(18) and Najibullah 23(21) cannot be such style of runs in a T20 match. Had both of them played an aggressive innings, the run score would have been closer to 190 runs. But in today's match, India could have won even if the target was 190 runs because they had already collected 75 runs in seven overs, so no matter how well Afghanistan performed today, there will be no comparison with this performance for India.

AFG proved they are better cricket team in the WC itself, so we don't have to keep underestimate them all the time. The target is below par for this venue and its because not bad batting from AFG, it also due to some good bowling from the Indian bowling unit and they kept taking wickets in the regular intervals pushed them to play less aggressive than they used to be.

Rohit, Again out for duck.

Jaiswal utilizing the opportunity very well and Dube again showing his six hitting ability.

I am still clueless as to why the price of Bitcoin will straight away as the money from these funds will take time to reach the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has been over bought due to this ETF hype for the last couple of weeks and finally we see the results people thought that price will go further but this is the time for whales to play their hands and dumped it hard, I predicted this will be more likely the result whether ETF is approved or declined.

Also after a week now ordinals back to spam the network with high fees which can lead to further dump in the price in my opinion for a while then the price will shoot up when halving approaches.

What is the point in calling up Virat Kohli to these low-priority matches? Does India need Virat to win matches against teams like Afghanistan? The selectors should ideally give opportunities to the younger players. Also, the Ranji Trophy competition (domestic Indian 4-day tournament) is going on and senior players such as Kohli can take part in that one. Afghanistan is not exactly one of the strongest teams in T20I cricket. The BCCI should use this series for warmup ahead of the upcoming T20I World Cup (starting from June 2024).
It's pretty obvious, isn't it? They want him to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup which is why they added him to the squad. He is the equivalent of several young batsmen by himself which is why their decision makes complete sense.

Also, Afghanistan is pretty good in the T-20 format which is why you are underestimating them way too much.

Virat is one of the player who can walk in straight into the squad if he is fit, so his point is valid, why waste him instead of trying the new combination and see if someone is capable of being a backup.Also, Virat pulled out a couple of times before the match and only mentioned as personal reason, so giving him a break if really needed makes sense too.

Or else, Viart should be a part of the series if they want to him to open the innings in T20 format along with hitman to give more stability and more choices down the order.

Everyone else is OK. But Avesh Khan? He seems to be a selector's favorite. He and Arshdeep somehow manages to get selected to the Indian national team most of the time. One thing that I don't understand is why we have this Ranji Trophy competition. The top wicket takers are almost never considered for national team selection. Jalaj Saxena was the topper in 2023. Anyway, let's leave him as he is 37 years old. But what about Shams Mulani, Kishan Singha and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja? What do they need to do, in order to get selected?
Avesh Khan is the worst choice that is correct and he always manages to get selected. He is not that kind of a bowler to give confidence to the captain. I doubt he will be part of the playing squad. I think Rohit will go with three seamers like he did in South Africa. India has three wc in this team and druv jurel if plays would be debuting.

Team India will be playing with 2 pace attack bowling side in my opinion so they went with the back up options they already have and this is happening in India the player will be there to replace if someone got injured. I am worried about Bhuvi, he is doing extraordinary in the Ranji since his comeback and he is one of the few bowlers who can swing both sides with high accuracy still haven't been provided an opportunity is a bit disappointing.

I am not a fan of Bitcoin ETF either, but it is a good thing for now, and it will bring more spotlight to the bitcoin and possibly some institutional investors which will help the bitcoin price to soar higher. What good thing is it convinces and normalizes the existence of bitcoin and a common man don't think it is something exclusive and not legal which make them to invest too and that leads to adoption.

ETF seems good for price rise, but how much the institutional investors are going to interested in them, only time can tell. There is interest thats why the price is going up. However the early adopters may not even be interested in ETFs, they just want their money to increase in total.

Anyone who knows what is bitcoin will not be interested in ETF in my opinion, but institutional investors don't really care about the technical aspects they just want the profits and if ETF is the thing that convinces they will throw some money.

Update 2:

The government has banned the URLs for binance, kucoin and other exchanges.
It was a shocker for me since the government acted quickly on this matter. I thought they will take some good amount of time before banning the URLs.
But just 2 days back they banned the app from app store and now they banned the URLs.
We are still able to access the URLs using VPN though.

Government may not be really interested in the crypto at the moment but possible the RBI is behind this push because we know they don't like crypto existence and also recently we had seen they are pushing people to use erupee CBDC and they know crypto existence will be a barrier to convince the general people so now they will advertise their CBDC as government crypto.

Yes it has to be admitted that Pakistan team players have done well in batting.  But if the Pakistan team players could have been a bit responsible in the last order batting. Then the result of this match would have been in favor of Pakistan team. However, Pakistan team's batsmen are enough to keep the match result in their favor
worked hard. But in the last stage of the game, Pakistan team failed. Pakistan's 46-run defeat against New Zealand was due to irresponsible bowling by Pakistan bowlers. The bowlers of Pakistan team could not bowl well. The New Zealand team was able to score 226 runs because of the bad bowling of the Pakistan bowlers. A score of 226 is a very big score in a T20 match. If the Pakistan team could have bowled well, the New Zealand team would not have scored such a big score.
I didn't watch the game, so I don't know if the pitch behaved differently from first inning to second, but mostly likely it played the same in my assumption. And as we speak the Pakistan lost the match because of their bowling and I don't know the reason why Pakistan failed to produce a good spinner in the last few years even though they have domestic league for this particular format which is the X factor and that needs to be addressed for the better of Pakistan bowling attack in future.

Indian squad for the first two tests

- Kishan messed up due to recent drama where he took things for granted, now he is advised to play Ranji.
- Pant is still doing rehab i guess, 3 wk for the home series seems funny. On turning tracks KL might not keep well, maybe that's why they opted for an extra keeper.

Even if Ishan picked, I don't think he has his spot to play, so they went for the actual spot contenders.

Pant will not take the risk of getting into the longest form of cricket after that injury, which is understandable, and his target will be IPL for now.

3 keepers is kind of joke but who knows what team management is thinking and this is home series they can take the things lightly. Cheesy
392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 12, 2024, 07:08:30 PM
In fact Pakistan bowling side has become very weak and the run rate per over was high. If you look at the Worm graph you can realize that from 1 to 15 overs Pakistan wickets and New Zealand wickets were often the same but after 15 overs Pakistan did not run well and they lost more wickets in a very short span of time. T. southee for New Zealand got 4 wickets with only 25 runs and got most wickets with lowest runs. On the other hand New Zealand batting side was magical where D. Mitchell scored 61 runs off just 27 ball.

Pakistan has this problem for very long time so losing wickets or not maintaining the momentum in the death overs isn't surprising. But their moral was depleted in the first inning itself so make a comeback and chasing the target over 220 is an impossible target for any team. On the whole Pakistan did good with the bat but as you said their bowling seems to be vulnerable due to the absence of Shaheen shah.

I am using MEXC application on my Android device. If there is ban can the ISP restrict me from accessing the application? This is what's bothering me as I have never been in such a situation and for that I am planning to start using paid VPN. Few of friends suggested that Express VPN is the best for India what do you guys recommend?

If there is a ban then things will be complicated with accessing the app even with the VPN whether it's free or paid, because the servers will be taken down from India without the running servers in India I am not sure if we can access the app, but surely we can access the website and continue trading there.

Nord VPN is a good choice too, but I never used any paid VPN in my Android, but I always use Turbo VPN whenever it's needed. Cheesy

Things will change soon though and the government won't ban Binance from being used in India.

So, in case the ban happens like what happened on the Apple Play Store, what VPN is recommended? I am not going to wait for the app to come back.


We can't install apps other than what is available on the app store in IOS, thanks to the closed ecosystem. Grin

So the only option will be jail breaking the iPhone and install the app file (highly not recommended).

But for the android the solution is pretty simple, just download the APK and install it, but I don't see an option to download the wallet file from official site, so we have to trust the third party website!

I got this email too and as far as I read they are working on to come to the agreement, but nothing yet guaranteed about the future of Binance in India while we don't need to worry about using Binance app for now because it's not banned, and we can still use the current version as long as government not announce the ban.

Binance is still available on Playstore, so whoever using Binance please update to the latest version ASAP before it vanish because it will take months to come back in action even if everything settled well.

Rohit Sharma did not play in the first match but still India won the match. I think If the top-order batsmen are not scoring, the middle-order batsmen have the ability to win with their performances.

I guess you are talking about Virat Kohli, Rohit captained the team today and got out due to the error while running from Gill. Smiley

Indian batting is very strong and even though few senior players were rested and team wants to try things for one last time before the T20 WC they did good job with both batting and bowling. Most players won't find a slot in this wc squad to be honest but in case if there is some injury then others might be considered where these performances will come into play.

Shivam Dube also made a statement about his availability to the team India with today's performance with both bat and with ball.
397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 11, 2024, 04:32:47 PM
Afghanistan played well but I don't think they can beat India because India player paly very well and they has made 85 runs in 10 overs with lose of 3 wickets.India need 69 runs from 54 balls. I hope that India will achieve this target peacefully. S dube  now is batting they continue their inning and he made 33 run in just 25 balls and J Sharma is  playing with them .J Sharma is also playing very well and has also scored 26 runs in 14 balls . I hope India will win this match .

India came back pretty good after the initial fumble, Rohit really disappointed with the way he got out. Smiley

Now India just needs 14 runs from 22 balls and 6 wickets in hand, so yeah the match is pretty much over now and AFG can take their positives from this match and try to give a comeback in the second match to keep the series alive.

If Rashid played today, then things could have been different in my opinion.
398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 11, 2024, 07:41:15 AM

There are some players who will live forever in the history of Indian cricket and Rohit is one of them. We cannot judge the good and bad of a cricketer by the performance of one match. Rohit and Kohli performed well in the last ODI World Cup matches but in the final match they could not win the match due to some mistakes in their decisions. It is not unusual to do poorly in one match after playing 10 matches. Again, Virat Kohli has few records which are not available among other cricketers. Virat Kohli's form was not good before the last World Cup but even then he was given many chance in series matches because BCCI knows what kind of player Virat is. Finally, he got him self with the form but last match was not successful. These two players are good in both ODI and T20 formats.

Virat had a couple of dry years for his standard, but in 2023 he turned everything back and we know what he has done in the WC too and highest run scorer of the series and Rohit didn't hit a century he managed to secure the second-highest run scorer in the WC too and he showed how destructive can be if he gets going. The same formula can be applied in T20 too and it can be more effective, and I am sure if Rohit bat for 10 over the match is India's side.

Anyway Rohit will be captaining the T20 format today, and this will be his first appears in T20 since 2022 and Virat fans you need to wait because Rahul revealed that he won't be a part of first T20 due to personal reasons.
399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 10, 2024, 06:43:54 PM

Although Virat Kohli has batted slowly in this World Cup, Rohit Sharma has not batted slowly but in the first power play he has batted devastatingly and got out after scoring the runs needed for the team. In this World Cup we got to see a new technique from Rohit Sharma. The 2023 World Cup was played on all the wickets that were easy to bat on in the early stages, so Rohit Sharma was more focused on scoring the required runs for the team than on his own century, rather than on his own big innings. Virat Kohli has built an innings beautifully and he has taken that innings to a century. BCCI knows how important Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are to the Indian team and how much they contribute.

Rohit is definitely a successful captain in T20 format too because he won 5 titles for MI and we all know it is bigger than international matches but in WC team India came close and failed but blaming individuals can't solve the problem and I wonder how people can question about Virat's T20 batting skill is not good despite is the highest run scorer in the IPL with SR,130+ in his 16 IPL seasons.

At the time I wrote this post, the price of Bitcoin was at $26,873.29  and today the price is $45,133.61. though it the market is know for it's volatility but in real sense Bitcoin is heading somewhere. rumors have it that Bitcoin ETF will be approved this week and if that happens, the price will keep appreciating in value. It's never too late to start investing and accumulating more Bitcoin. And aside that the bull run is just by the corner meaning we'll be experiencing two set of bulls this year.

If you see bitcoin from its price point alone, then it is not the right metric to say it is the future of currencies. The decentralization is the key and the actual reason for bitcoin became successful, we don't know what will be the status of bitcoin 50 years later from now but if it becomes the preferred mode of payment then price can't be the only reason and one point it will reach its threshold value even as per the demand and supply law.

There is so much hype on the market due to the ETF approval speculation, but I am sensing the negative vibe for some reason so be prepared if there is a correction.
