England team had a fall of wickets in the beginning, due to which England team so far scored 302 runs for 7 wickets. A Test game is essentially a wicket-keeping performance for a long period of time, in which seven wickets fell on the first day. The current batsmen should not be relied upon. If these two batsmen can perform for a long time as strong batsmen, Root and Robinson can definitely give India team a big night's target. Indian team is very strong in Test matches as proved in past matches, in which case England team must perform for a long time keeping the wicket under control.
300+ in a day is not bad. Joe Root is still on crease and with a night to rest, he'd be back with new energy. Joe Root is going to get aggressive in the next morning. England would try to get a quick 150+ in the morning and let India bat. They might hold a bit if joe root closes to a double century. The average runs has kept increasing on every of the test and 450 is an ideal point the English team would aim for. They would also want to take some wickets before resting for the 2nd day. With two lost Test matches, England would be hoping for a win to keep the race on. |

Just looking at the wave of cryptocurrency and going with the rate of adoption, where do you all see the future of cryptocurrency in the next 20years or more from now. Are transactions going to be more of in cryptocurrency than fiat in all ramifications of society as it concerns finance?
Seeing how the current crypto adoption and technology is maturing, I believe most of the financial transactions in the next 20 years would be carried out with crypto. With stable coins and other coins being able to transact easily at fraction of cents, people would be sending and receiving anything with value and get the stable or coin they want through bridging. The only obstacle are some autocratic governments but with the support of people, they would either need to embrace crypto or create a closed society for themselves like north korea. |

Netherlands vs Namibia match will start within short time at TU Cricket Ground (Stadium in Kirtipur, Nepal). This will be the 5th odi match of ICC CWC League 2. In 3rd ODI between Namibia vs Netherlands, team NED had won by 7 wickets against Namibia. Although Nepal is strong team but Namibia have defeated Nepal 2 times where Nepal defeated Netherland once already. But anyhow Namibia lost a match against Netherlands. I think this time Namibia should win as they are good enough to win as well as they proved their ability in recent Matches. So this match is going to be interesting.
I am looking forward to the match between Namibia and the Netherlands at the TU Cricket Ground in Nepal. It will be exciting to see these teams play in the ICC CWC League 2. The Netherlands won the last time they played Namibia but Namibia has also beaten Nepal twice. I think Namibia could win this time because they have been playing well recently. Namibia is giving a tough time to competitors. So I hope today again they will give a tough time to Netherlands. Finally, we saw a score of over 200 in the ICC WCL2. Namibia won the match by 24 runs. Namibia scored 203 thanks to their lower-order batsmen. They were 77/5 at one stage of their innings, but the 6th wicket partnership of over 70 runs brought them back into the game. In response, the Netherland's batters were not able to chase this target. Jan Frylinck got the Player of the Match award for this beautiful all-round performance; he made 34 and took 3 wickets. This target was way too much for any team in the competition when we look at their past batting performances. And it's the first time in this tournament the first batting team had won a match. Though 4 of the Namibian batsmen were out on 1 or lower, a good number of them showed resistance on the pitch which is now infamous for difficulty to bat. Yet, they were not able to play the full 50 overs. Netherlands too had a good chase, if just the opposite batsmen of Noah Croes were on crease a bit longer, He alone could have led Netherlands to win but 5 of the partners of Noah Croes were out before him. Even though Erasmus, the Namibian captain didn't have a good innings with bat, he was spectacular with bowl. And with this win Namibia has established themselves as a better team among the three. |

What worse case scenario given then fact I have only 14$ on this wallet and of course not intend to deposit anymore funds to that wallet
Not much. Just forget about the wallet and use a new one. I too in past have lost my wallet with 4 digit sums to a hacker. Not sure how they got hold of it but there could be two reasons I could think of where I was not cautious. Once I opened my wallet in a pirated version of Windows. Pirated software are known to have clipboard watcher and keyloggers. And the likelihood of getting a spyware are also greater in Pirated software. Another mistake of mine was to store my private key in google drive. Many app we use do ask to read and modify our drive data. They might theoretically get hold of our wallet. |

Gambling an activity for fun also has the chance to turn someone's fortune. Calculated risk when taken in gambling can be the way to big wins from gambling. Who do you think should take more risk in gambling? The rich gambler or the gambler who is not yet rich. If a rich gambler takes risks in gambling, they are risking losing money and becoming poor from gambling, or getting richer, when a gambler who is not yet rich gambles, they can also get poorer or richer, so the gambler who should take the risk should be the gambler who can handle the dangers of the risk like losing too. When a rich gambler loses from taking a risk, there is a better chance of them being in a position to manage with the losses, than someone struggling financially who a big loss will really affect. So, I am confused after asking myself this question and answering it, does this mean a poor gambler should continue to play it safe in gambling? With no risk, how can a poor gambler change their fortune in gambling?
The first thing to realize is you won't be changing your fortune in gambling. There could be big wins but your fortune and long term financial stability depends on your skills and job or business. You should be fine on losing any amount you get involved in gambling. Anything larger would get you in problems. As of the rich or poor who should risk more, the people should risk on how much they can afford to lose. A thousand dollar won't be a big deal for a rich person but it can mean a malnourished month for a poor one. The risk taking should be on percentage they can afford than on amount and the percentage could be the same for a rich and a poor. |

Sri Lanka collected 143 runs in 14 overs. The team is collecting more than 10 runs per over. And since Sri Lanka have lost just 3 wickets, Sri Lanka are more likely to win so far. Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 60 off 30 balls. Almost every batsman in the Sri Lankan squad is in good form. So even if the target is big, they might be able to win.
Afghanistan captain Ibrahim Zadran has used 6 of his bowlers. But we don't see any bowler bowling better than him. If this continues, Sri Lanka will win the series 3-0.
Afghanistan team improved a lot in their batting today but I think Sri Lanka still have a chance to win this match. The Sri Lankan team currently needs 40 runs from 14 balls and they still have five wickets to spare. Kushal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka are batting at the crease at the moment. If the Sri Lankan team's opening batsman Pathum Nissanka had not retired hard, maybe this match could have taken another turn. Kushal Mendis has just completed his half century, he will look to open his arms from now on, maybe we will finally see a dramatic victory in this match. Today, the Afghanistan team managed to win because of their good performance till the end keeping the wicket under control. I was hopeful for the Afghanistan team as they only lost in consecutive ODIs and T20Is but in the third T20I Afghanistan team gave a befitting reply. The opening two batsmen, Hazratullah and Gurbaz, who performed well in the power play, played a major role in today's victory. Did very well to control the wicket from the start till the last. And bowled well but Sri Lankan team lost today, tried hard to win but couldn't. The third T20 match which was played at Dambulla was finally won by the Afghanistan team. Though it was a close 3 run victory but a victory is victory and Afghanistan team can celebrate this win. In this match, Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 73 runs in 43 balls. He was the man of the match because of his good batting performance. From Sri lankan team we had Pathum Nissanka who was retired hurt on 60 while Kamindu Mendis remained not out at 65 runs. The strange thing is that Srilankan team were unable to chase this score even though I thought that they tried their best. Mohammad Nabi took 2 wickets while Fareed Ahmad, Noor Ahmad and Qais Ahmad took one wicket each. This was the first and only victory by the Afghanistan team. They lost 3 one days matches and the first two T20 matches also. But luck favors them this time and they were able to beat Srilanka in the last match of theT20 series. A thrilling win for Afghanistan, a consolidatory too. Sri Lanka won the only test, clean swiped ODIs and was about to clean swipe the T20 too. It was a high scoring innings from Afghanistan with Hazaratulla and Rahmanulla opening the batting with a good partnership. Sri Lanka nearly chased it but the retirement due to injury to Pathum Nissanka was a bad luck for them. He had scored 60 off 30 before voluntarily leaving the crease. Anyway, Sri Lanka won't be disappointed as they had shown full dominance over the Afghan team and Afghan have reasons for their decreasing performance. |

Ethereum is a huge blockchain with a lot of transactions happening at instance while it's technology was not meant to handle this much traffic. The price of Ethereum is inflated so we need to pay larger amount compared to the USD value. The best way to avoid the huge Ethereum fees is to avoid using the ethereum network itself. There are several alternative to ETH ecosystem that are faster, cheaper and technologically superior.
It's not a bid deal to spend $10 on fees if you are doing one time transaction over $100 but this becomes unbearable when you are paying that fee on exchanging or transferring other tokens. Ethereum can live as an speculative coin like Bitcoin but it can't function as an ecosystem.

Fantom coin (FTM) is old coin, a scalable blockchain platform, mainly for Decentralized finance (DeFi), crypto dApps, and others applications. It had recorded around $3 ATH in 2021 bull run. Currently it is on #73 position on coingecko with $0.40 price. Within a month, it pumped more than 40% and looks good. What's your opinion about this coin? Does this coin still has potential or better to looking for another new coin with new technology?
I have an interest on utility coins and fantom has been on my hold list. The fantom ecosystem has a healthy growth and a good volume locked and being transacted on it. Being a L2 on Ethereum network and Fantom coin itself being used for fees, it's easier to get started on the ecosystem. I also am using a few defi on the network as the staking rates are better and the fee I pay on transaction are mostly below $0.005. I believe it can reach its previous ATH when the bull arrives, that would make a x7.5 of current price. |

Porto vs Arsenal 1-0. Arsenal as a whole dominated the game but Porto's very strong defense made it difficult for Arsenal to score goals.
And Porto's 1 goal in the remaining extra time scored by Galeno in the 90+4 minute was a painful goal for Arsenal.
Arsenal has learned the lesson so maybe in the second leg at home in the Emirates Stadium they will be more attacking from the first half and make sure that they are able to get equal before the halftime mark. Arsenal can score more than one goal in a game as they have shown many times in this season, so it is possible that they turn things around in the second leg. The defeat was painful, but this is what the game is about, I think. Napoli are lucky that the Victor Osimhen in the just finish African cup that missed many good chances is not the same Victor Osimhen in Napoli who scores with the slightest opportunity. His goal stole the joy away from Barcelona. Too bad for Arsenal in this season, recording another lose again against FC Porto even though they look to be a more weaker club compared to Arsenal and also being away, this night was a bad one for Arsenal and their fans even though there was high speculation of Arsenal slide winning but the result have taken another direction, with FC Porto making the record-breaking goal in the extra time even though they struggled all through the 90 minutes to make a goal record but to no avail until in the last minutes of the match when luck smiles at them, this is going to open up alot of pressure on Arsenal in the remaining leagues aside from the championship. Nonetheless, FC Porto indeed has a peculiar Champion League experience, but not as experienced as Asernal so this loss for Arsenal is a big setback for the club this season. On the other hand, Barcelona draw the match again tonight, even though they had an early lead, but the inability to sustain the win resulted in them conceding the last goal in the match which saw a draw with Napoli on the other end. Not a large disappointment for Arsenal as they are still to play the 2nd leg in their home ground. Arsenal were a bit careless in the last moment and Galeno utilized it to score a spectacular goal. I still believe it would be an easy win for arsenal. The more interesting competition was between Napoli and Barcelona where both these teams are of same caliber. Lewandowski is keeping Barcelona on race. The 2nd leg would decide the winning team but it is going to be a competitive one. |

I have the same thoughts as you but it has become big problem for Liverpool because Luton Town are already leading with 0-1 since 12 minutes of the starting and Luton Town have secured this leading throughout the first half and now they are in second half and Liverpool are mounting pressure on Luton Town, Liverpool have to be careful because even draw in this match is not okay because any slight mistakes now they will lose the first place in the table for Manchester City or Arsenal, Right now Liverpool as equalise, VAN Dijk and GAKPO have make well for Liverpool, now Liverpool have regain their position again by leading with two goals now
Somehow, I think Liverpool allowed Luton town to scored and the unleash their crazy attack on them with many goals, they did the same thing to Brentford and now they did exactly the same goal to Luton town, this guys started well and despite that they are not feared like Manchester City, they win their matches without making much noise. They are still maintaining the first place and has given Liverpool a gap by 4 points and now Manchester City need to do their own homework to meet or else these will mark the beginning of their failure. Liverpool match line up look easy for them until the day they are going to play with Manchester City, and if they eventually win Manchester City then that day we will officially know who is going to win the league and going forward too, Liverpool must no lose any match else they will give chance of Manchester City and if they see that chance and have the first place, it will be hard for them to lose it again, that's Manchester city target right now. The Luton's goal didn't seem like a left one from Liverpool. Chong shot for the goal and Kelleher was not able to properly clear the ball that rebounded at the side of Ogbene and he scored. It was a nice goal but saved no points for Luton town. Liverpool was attacking from start to the finish and Kaminiski was overwhelmed with shots. Liverpool scored all their 4 goals on 2nd half. It was expected from the top team of the league against a team that's likely going to be relegated. Liverpool also increased the goal difference by 3 making it's place on top for goal difference as well. |

Hey everyone! I've got $1000 to invest before the next bull market kicks in. Should I spread it across five different coins or go all in on just one? What are your top picks for either strategy?
Go with 5. Putting all your eggs on a single basket could go wrong in many ways. There are a lot of good and promising coins. Just look at the market and research for a moment. Find the 5 coins you believe could outstand in short or long term. If you want to have larger chances and willing to take calculated risk, go with newer promising projects that haven't been on the spotlight of most investors. If you want to stay safe, stick with popular alts along with bitcoin. But whatever you do, you are going to have a better chance than putting all your money on a single coin. |

Namibia team managed to defeat Nepal in another match. Namibia won the toss today but they strategically sent Nepal to bat first.Maybe they had an aim that they preferred to play with the target for which Namibia invited Nepal to bat first. The Nepal team looked good in the first few overs but then suddenly lost their rhythm which resulted in them losing three wickets in 40 runs. Bernard Scholtz took the first three wickets of the Nepal team and left Nepal in a miserable situation.He was awarded Man of the Match for his outstanding contribution.
I think Namibia made a smart choice by making Nepal bat first after winning the toss. This decision worked out well for them. By making Nepal bat first Namibia put pressure on Nepal to score runs. Bernard Scholtz took early wickets which helped Namibia position in the match and made it tough for Nepal. Scholtz played really well and got the Man of the Match award. This shows that smart decisions and great individual performances can make a big difference in cricket matches. A few days ago we saw a very good performance of Nepalese players in the series against Canada. But right now the team is not playing well. Especially we are seeing the deterioration of the performance of their batsmen. Nepal have lost two out of three matches in ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2. Despite winning against the Netherlands, the team lost both matches against Namibia. In today's match, the Nepalese players have given a target of only 169 runs. Given more than 200 targets, the match would have been competitive. However, despite the small target, victory was not easy for Namibia. The players of Namibia collected 172 runs after losing 8 wickets. Captain Gerhard Erasmus played an excellent innings of 52 runs today. All of Netherlands, Namibia and Nepal playing current set of League 2 games are approximately at the same level and as we've seen for the all of the 4 matches already played, the team batting first have won all of it. So the toss is playing a greater role than the team game. Nepal beat Netherlands with a good margin of 9 wickets and 35 overs when they batted second. Neatherlands on the other hand bet Namibia without mercy when they batted second and yet Nepal lost to Namibia when they were batting second. So, the pitch is predictable and it's hard to determine which of these three teams are better at the moment. The league would go on for months and we'd have much time, different playing conditions to determine the team qualifying for world cup. |

Manchester city literally had a tough game against Brentford because all their efforts to win the game with some levels of ease was actually resisted and stopped by Brentford and they(Manchester city) did dominated the first half so well yet ended it in a goalless draw. Brentford had a quiet impressive defense making it really difficult for Manchester city to penetrate despite all their attempts.
Manchester city had a good play and even had one of their goals canceled, going by the odd given them by the bookies I had taught it was going to be an easy game for Manchester city to win but maybe the absence of de bruyne was another reason they struggled to get as much goal as they should because Brentford wasn't expected to be a really strong team but they did performed really well and at some point they became a threat around the 18 yard box of Manchester city but city had a good defense too who couldn't allow for certain mistakes. Pepe even seem not really happy with the results tho they were able to get three points but they would gotten more goals.
Manchester City played a good game, but I also expected more than one goal, even though the one goal increased their points by three points, which makes them just a point lower than Liverpool. Still, the game was interesting, but what I was also impressed with more was the resistance and the defence that Brentford had against Manchester City. It was so hard for Manchester to penetrate the defence, so I can say Brentford came prepared not to lose against Manchester City, but they also know that it will be great luck for them not to lose that game. But I also thought that maybe it was because De Bruyne was not in the game that is the reason they find it hard to achieve more goals, but never the less, the game was very tough and the game results came as expected, which I put as Manchester City to win, and they won, so the results came as expected. It was a nice game to watch with both teams creating good attacks at the post. As expected, Manchester City dominated the most of it and Mark Flekken, the Brentford Golie had a busy time. One shot from Oscar Bobb went past the keeper and was defended by Brentford defender from the goal line. The one on one goal from Halland was impressive as always, Halland can outrun anyone to score. The game was just about the points and Manchester City got the full. The title race is going to be a three way one with just 13 matches left for each team. It's going to be a long race till the end. |

Inter Milan has successfully to utilized their home match today that they can able to overcomes Atletico Madrid with narrow score although this result still not fully secured but at least Inter Milan can able to gets the winning result from Atletico Madrid and Lautaro Martinez was became an dangerous player for Atletico Madrid because although he didn't scores but his movement is hard to guarded by Atletico Madrid players and during the match Inter Milan has successfully to pressed Atletico Madrid with very well which make Atletico Madrid didn't gets much opportunities to scores
Well at least Inter Milan is a little more comfortable to undergo the next second leg match I mean they will play without burden because they only need a draw to qualify for the next stage, Atletico Madrid is quite successful in applying defensive games because only conceded one goal, even though Inter Milan should be able to score 2 goals based on opportunities and shots. Meanwhile the match between PSV and Dortmund must end in a draw well, this should be an advantage for Dortmund I'm sure Dortmund will secure positions after the second leg. Indeed, Dortmund did not play optimally in the Bundesliga but in the Champions League they could be relied upon. It is going to be a hot contested 2nd leg game between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan on Metropolitano. Inter clearly played better than the visiting side, creating more opportunities. Jan Oblak was busy most of the time. And the goal was scored after Oblak failed to properly collect the ball. Can't say who would come victorious. PSV too played well creating more chances than Dortmund but failed to score. The goal from Malen for Dortmund was an impressive one while the penalty awarded for PSV was not actually a penalty worthy tackle. Anyway, Dortmund would still have an advantage of tie with their home game left to play. I'm quite sure Dortmund would make it further. |

I don’t think mining was ever totally eradicated in China. Obviously, the government clamped down on it though & most people follow the rules. If China was to publicly unban mining & allow all retail investors to buy Bitcoin it’d be very bullish for the price. Part of the reason we only hit 69k last bull run was due to China FUD.
One of the reason why China banned bitcoin mining was due to the worries of energy crisis. The current situation of energy in China has improved. And with years on exponential growth of solar, China would have an energy surplus for most of the time which may make them ease the mining ban. But at current situation, there are no signs of easing the ban. The chinese court have recently given a verdict about the ownership of crypto as assets, we could expect that the Chinese has not given up on crypto future and they wait for the good times. |

After it became known that Savio would most likely move to City in the summer, information began to appear that other players, Dovbik, Tsygankov and other team leaders, could also leave Girona in the summer. Given that Girona are likely can to play in the next Champions League, it is very important for them to maintain the team, or at least consider replacing these players, as this could significantly weaken the team.
These young and promising players achieved their fame playing together in the team of Girona. It's good for them to achieve the limelight and bring them to the global market but their moving out of Girona is going to hurt the team. Girona is not a large team by the money it has and can afford. It's relative success is due to the efficient management of the money they have. They are not going to be competitive in long run from the larger teams. And if they lose their star players at the peak of the season or before participating on the champions league, their spectacular performance would not be remembered in any titles. |

I basically stick to idea buy low priced coins like 0.00001$ that have good potencial
so when coins get to 0.01$ its a very good profit of %
For my self i have 60% of assets on BTC
But i wonder on which coin you have more % invested ?
Theoretically I'm aiming to have 10% of my investment on BTC. 40% on top 20 alts. And the rest divided on different promising alts that are still not in the top 20 like Kaspa, Sui, fantom (basically good utility tokens). But on implementation level, it's hard to achieve it as some projects get my attention so much that I can't help myself resist from not jumping in with all of my liquid assets. Anyhow, by the end of this year, I plan to have a good portfolio consisting of long term investment on at least 20 different coins. |

It seems that Girona has returned to their actual position LOL, in the last 5 matches Girona has lost 2 times and drawn 1, they failed to take advantage of the opportunity to continue to be in 2nd position, even though if only they had survived, they would have been able to be in 2nd place until this season is over.
The difference in points between Girona and Barcelona is currently only 4 points, so I'm sure Barcelona is very eager to catch up on points with Girona, Girona's next opponent is Rayo, if they still play with their performance when facing Bilbao then I'm sure Girona will lose and their position will drop further.
Who's laughing now? I've said it before, Girona shouldn't be classified as an elite team because they're yet to prove themselves and the only time they tried which is this current season, they're finding it to be big challenge to maintain balance at the top. It's big burden on the shoulders of the players. Girona will struggle this season, I've perceived this worrisome phase from a distance, they no longer have the require balance to continue pushing for elevated results but to settle for the standings they've settled since the beginning of the 2023/2024 season. Girona have been top performers this season and are now slowly losing their form. Girona's title race is starting to slip. As a Girona fan myself, I thought Girona could hold on to the top of the La Liga points table. But Girona failed to do so. It is now a matter of hard work for Girona to top the La Liga points table. Real Madrid will have to see Girona first in order to take over the points table. But in my opinion, if Girona can continue to do their best, they can once again take the top spot in the La Liga points table. Girona won't be taking the first spot again on the league. With only 13 matches left for each teams, I don't see them something spectacular while Real Madrid have multiple setbacks. I had been claiming Girona are not a competitor of Real Madrid from the start. They are a well balanced team but are not on the same level as Real Madrid who pose to easily win the league. The real competition are among the two catalan teams Girona and Barcelona and the other Madrilenos team Atletico. All of which would most probably qualify for the champions league. |

We have result on 4th day of the test cricket for two different games today. India bowled out England early to secure a win by 106 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal's double century in first innings was the key to Indian's success. Both the team performed poor on bating in the 2nd inning. Now the series is on 1-1 equalizer and there are three more test matches to go.
On the only test match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Sri Lanka had a 10 wicket win chasing a small aggregate from Afghanistan. The century from Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal on the 1st inning of Sri Lanka was important. None of the other player did so well in terms of batting. Afghanistan itself is a easier opponent for Sri Lanka.
