they need to find some players from the domestic circuit and give them the exposure during these situations rather than sticking to players who are not performing series after series.
If the South African cricket board had the pool of talents to replace these players they would have already done that and with the retirement of their world class players they were not even able to groom the youngsters but found a talent in Rabada but he is pushed too much in his young career, they need to look out for young batting talents and groom them rather than throwing them under pressure when the older players retire.

Boxing is entertainment and every time Manny has a fight, he always tells us that he is doing it to entertain the fans, so if this fight would entertain more fans, Manny would not resist this because its all about the money too and the offer is too good for him to refuse.
Any sport is an entertainment and spectacle for the fans, those who do it for real as a profession has other thoughts as they will be doing that to earn a living and Manny started boxing at a very small age to feed his family to have a meal everyday and to get rid of poverty and now he has established himself and at the end of his career and what he does as a human being to give back to the society is awesome and he is still fighting to earn the maximum money to fulfill his dreams and if he gets a good pay day as a fan i will be happy.

when Conor fought mayweather, it was70/30 in favor of Mayweather, but maybe Manny can give Conor a better share, like 60/40.
The promoters will have the final laugh at this, they will take a good cut in the profit they make.

What a spectacular match it was today between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Pakistan's bowling attack just ripped through Bangladesh batting followed by good batting from Azam and Hafeez. Series won by Pakistan the last match is a formality I guess now.
Pakistan is back in form in T20, when i saw the series against Sri Lanka they were completely lost which i thought would be fairly easy series for Pakistan but now Malik is back in the team where he earned the wrath of fans because of his bad performance and now he is back in the team and he performed in the first T20 to win the match. The bowlers were brilliant in this series and that was the difference between the last series and this.

Poor South Africa, nothing went in their favor when bowling tailenders. Must be a nightmare if No 10 and 11 making runs against you. You gotta feel for them no matter what, 80+ runs partnership for 10th wicket is brutal for any team.

This series is almost done for Protea fans, they must be crossing their fingers for another home series.
South Africa needs to travel to Zimbabwe for a series or Bangladesh should visit South Africa for the batsman to regain some confidence, touring Bangladesh will be difficult as they will stack with spinners which will be a struggle again for South Africa, they need to find some easy tours rather than taking on top level teams and hamper their confidence further.

Shoaib Malik reminds me of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Both are of the same age (38 years) and the fans in their respective countries are heavily polarized between those who argues for them to be allowed in the team, and those who want them to retire. But I can tell you one thing. Pakistan needs Malik now to stabilize their playing XI. The younger players are not performing that well.
Shoaib Malik and Mahendra Singh Dhoni are of the same age but they play a different brand of cricket and Pakistan really need Shoaib Malik to stabilize the team and if it not for his performance then they could have been in trouble and it is good to see that Shoaib Malik is back in the team. I want to see India giving a good send off to Mahendra Singh Dhoni as he gave many memorable performances and i wanted Dhoni to be in the T20 World Cup team as he is the first World Cup winner.

I am not following the U19 World Cup, who is the strongest team and has the ability to win the cup, Australia must be the strongest as they usually have the strongest team and that is the case with India and if i am not wrong these two nations have shared the U19 World Cup multiple times.
Any sports book providing these matches and whether the odds are decent enough to wage a bet as there are many weak teams like Japan which i have never heard playing cricket
India have won more U19 world cup as they won 4 till now and then comes Australia with 3 and then comes Pakistan won it twice. India is the defending champions and they are really strong to win and retain the cup this time around, i am also not following the matches this year but last year i watched a few matches because of some young fast bowling sensations.

Manny's last fight against Thurman, he only made $10 million which is his purse, while Thurman is guarantee with $2.5 million.
maybe if Manny gives a chance to Conor, this might be his next biggest paycheck after his fight with Mayweather.
There is no doubt that a Conor McGregor fight will earn  Manny Pacquiao his biggest check to date and so is the reason i am sure that  Manny Pacquiao will be really interested to fight Conor McGregor and it all depends upon the interest level of Conor as he is having a lot of leverage on choosing his next opponent as he will earn a huge pay day even if he fights Nate Diaz for the trilogy, so it all depends upon what Conor wants to do next.

Zimbabwe is a failed country with a failed political system. The same can be said about the cricket team as well. Two decades back, they were being regarded as one of the strongest underdog sides. Players such as Neil Johnson, Andy Flower and Andy Blignaut helped them to upset many of the bigger teams. But when politics and sports got mixed, the team simply started disintegrating.
In the 90 Zimbabwe has many good players and they were capable of upsetting any team and they had great players in the side but corruption and political situation tore the country apart and with inflation and the intervention of the political system in sports made things difficult for them and i do not think there is a solution for that in the near future.

Pakistan Cricket Board Broken all Previous record on special security for Bangladeshi cricketers
In the T20 series 2020 against Bangladesh the Pakistani security force up to 5000. All surrounding areas of the stadium has been  filled to the security of CCTV. Stadium neighborhood shops, Sports complexes,  various non-residential buildings have been closed until January 22 to January 25. Bangladesh team will get presidential security with some level of security which includes PCB security agencies,  intelligence department,  police,  Army, commando force rangers,  air force. Zimbabwe, ICC XI, Westindies,  Srilanka Team also Provided  presidential security to Pakistan but there was not enough  security staff at that time.
Am i reading this right, they will shut down all the shops nearby the stadium and non residential building Shocked, if that happens people might not be happy seeing cricket as the normal living will be affected if there is a cricket match and not everyone will be flocking inside the stadium. Either way good to see that Pakistan is taking extra precaution to take care of the security and they need to built the trust for other nations to visit them as anything bad happens will affect their reputation for the next decade.

Donald Tiripano's wicket completely changed the game. Zimbabweans have a lead of 5 runs, with just 3 wickets remaining. 23 overs remaining for today and the Sri Lankan bowlers will be ecstatic right now. But they should not forget the fact that Kyle Jarvis is capable of playing long innings. They need to wrap up the Zimbabwe innings within the next 10 overs.
I did not expect this kind of turnaround as Sri Lanka bowled really well and now they just need 14 runs to win the Test match in 13 overs and it is an easy target, if the Zimbabwe batsman could spend half an hour they could have drawn the match, even though it was a slow paced match Sri Lanka played really well for the victory.

Does the coach in cricket matter the most ? I don't think so. This is not football where a good coach can change the fortune of the team. Cricket is a different game altogether and a coach cannot make much different to a team.
Every match has a strategy and building the best team requires a good coach and a captain and the bowlers will plan and have a strategy to get the opposite batsman out and every batsman will prepare to face specific bowlers and coaching is an integral part in any sport, India reached the top during the reign of Gary Kirsten as a coach and Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the captain and they captured many tournaments including world cups as every player in the team has specific roles in the team and without a good coach these are not possible.

Maxwell may add some stability to the Australian middle order, because right now they are looking very weak in that department. Players such as Alex Carey and Ashton Turner have failed miserably. And this is in stark contrast when compared to their top order, which is one of the world's best (David Warner/Aaron Finch/Steven Smith/Marnus Labuschagne).
It was a surprise for the fans that Glenn Maxwell was not selected for the Indian tour but Aron Finch said after the series to the media about his exclusion and he responded that Glenn Maxwell does not have a place in the current team as they are trying to built a new team with youngsters, what you said is right, he will give the middle order some batting power in the dead overs.

I agree, Pant needs some time off.
I would say KL Rahul, Pant and Samson are not exceptional WK in limited over cricket but equally bad. And Pant has more experience in comparison of other 2 fellas.
Pant needs to improve his wicket keeping skills as he is dropping many chances and i am impressed with the keeping skills of KL Rahul and i am yet to see how Samju Samson will perform in the international stage but he needs to get some opportunities to showcase his skills.

In context of upcoming series. There are high chances of Pant sitting out in the ODI and Shaw opening the inning with Rohit. KL Rahul back to middle order as Batsman- WK. For T-20 IMO, Kohli should give full series or at least 3 match to Samson as WK- batsman and let's see what's he got.
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are the best combination if they are not looking for left hand right hand combination and with the inclusion of Prithvi Shaw in the team i am not sure where he is going to play, as you said if the team wants Prithvi Shaw to open the batting then KL Rahul will come in the middle order to strengthen the team composition.

Tony Ferguson must be furious reading all these statements from Khabib's father and even Dana. It's as if he's invisible. I hope he beats Khabib and make UFC more exciting than what it already is  Cool
It is a fact that everyone is ignoring the threat of Tony Ferguson but he is the biggest threat to anyone in the division and for Khabib because of his ground skills even when he is put on his back and both are good in the ground and there is no way it is going to be a dull fight as it will be like a chess match and some might not like the fight but for real fight fans this is the biggest fight in UFC history.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 22, 2020, 05:45:20 PM
Here I have to disagree with you. Glenn Maxwell has been in terrific form so far in this edition of the Big Bash League, for his franchise (Melbourne Stars). A few days back, he hit an 83 (from 45 balls) against the Melbourne Renegades, and the innings consisted of 7 sixes. He is the sort of player who can destroy the opposition singlehandedly. I would prefer him in the team over anyone else.
Glenn Maxwell might be in good form for the franchise teams but what i am trying to tell is that he was not in the team for a very long time and Australia was performing well in his absence after the return of Warner and Smith and they have some young talents in the team and so is the reason he was not considered for the tour to India.
417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why will you invest in something you know nothing about? on: January 22, 2020, 05:16:04 PM
there are people who are use to keep riding the pump though. they don't need to know anything about the coin or the project, all they need to know is that its pumping.
It is a usual Practice by new investors to ride the market and when the bitcoin market was on a bull run last time there were many who invested to ride the rally using credit cards and so on and they were the biggest loosers when the market started falling as they ended up in huge losses.

i didn't listen when somebody shills for this project, i just knew i would have bought more of it. still i have no idea about the project.
When i started investing in the ICO market i used to initially listen to people who i thought could be trusted but later found out they are shills and cannot be trusted and after that i never bother about the shit market.

If Conor McGregor Wants His Rematch With Khabib Nurmagomedov, It’ll Cost the UFC $100 Million
If Khabib earned a disclosed amount of over $6 million dollars in his last fight and the amount of money he earned through PPV buys is not yet disclosed and i do not think that they will be disclosing that but i expect that he would have earned around 20 to 30 million in his last fight against Dustin Poirier and the disclosed amount is his show money for the event and hence i am predicting these amounts.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: January 22, 2020, 02:34:00 PM
he could have won that as he dominated most of the rounds, but that knock down were able to gave Wilder a chance to make it a close fight and it was announce as DRAW in the end.

in this rematch, anyone thinking of taking the DRAW again? in my book the odds is x16
The reason we have rounds is to score the fights according to the rounds won and anyone who saw the fight know who won the rounds and if someone lands a good punch in two rounds in a 12 round fight and because Wilder landed the heaviest punch does not mean that it was a close fight, in all of the fights Wilder is involved he just want to land a punch to win the fight as he looses most of the rounds in the scorecard and in the fight against Fury he landed the punch in the late rounds but that was not enough to win the fight and the decision should have gone to Fury for winning most of the rounds.

AB de Villiers is currently playing for Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL). He retired from international cricket when he was 32 or 33, due to political issues. But will this do any good for South Africa, given that de Villiers have explicitly stated that he is not interested in either the ODI or test formats? This is going to be more like a temporary patch up, rather than a permanent solution.
AB de Villiers retired because of the fight between the cricket board about playing in multiple leagues and the scheduling issues and the increasing work load he was undergoing during that period. He wanted to play for leagues but the cricket board was not keen on that as he usually takes break for International cricket and that is the reason he retired early and even in the last ODI world cup he expressed interest to return but it was too late but now he expressed his decision to play in the T20 World Cup and i am sure the cricket board will consider it because of the pathetic situation they are in as all the batsman are struggling across formats.
