401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 29, 2023, 04:07:14 AM
Being a Pakistani we are more excited because we are hosting some of the matches of the Asia Cup. And tomorrow is the first match and will be played in the very Old city Multan. And Pakistan also invited the secretary of BCCI to join the first match as a guest. Don't know he will come or not. And I really hope that the Pakistan will win the first match. Smiley

Winning against Nepal would be like cakewalk. The real tournament will start for Pakistan on 2nd September, when they will face India at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. And after this, the teams will proceed to Super-4, where the competition would be very tough. Teams like India has the luxury of playing all of their matches in Sri Lanka. However for Pakistan and Afghanistan, they need to shuttle between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. I don't know how much it is going to impact their performance, but given the tight schedule, it is one worrying factor for these teams.

I don’t think Pakistan will have too much problems winning against Nepal. I believe that the start of the tournament for Pakistan is going to be good. I don’t even see the match being competitive. I believe the match is going to be pretty easy for Pakistan to win. I would’ve definitely liked to see the India versus Pakistan match be played in Pakistan. But at the same time, we all know that the match is going to be played in Sri Lanka and that is probably one reason why we will see more people from both countries go to watch the match. Where are actually people from all three countries, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will come to see the match.

Going from one country to another is definitely a problem for some players. That’s why I did not like the way they made the schedule.


There is no doubt that Pakistan will win their tournament opener against Nepal as they are in good form at present. I believe that Pakistan will win easily against Nepal because Pakistan is much stronger than Nepal. All Pakistan players can bowl well and batting well due to which they can score good runs. However, if India plays against Pakistan then we can see a good amount of competition between the two teams. However, Pakistan is in better form than India at this time and it is difficult to say which team will win if the two teams play. However, yesterday's first tournament match is not being held in Sri Lanka but it will be held at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Pakistan. Although this Asia Cup tournament is jointly hosted by Sri Lanka and Pakistan so four matches will be Pakistani and nine matches will be played in Sri Lanka. Accordingly, the first tournament match Pakistan vs Nepal will start at Pakistan's home ground, and the next match will be played in Sri Lanka.

@Bitcoin_people definitely agree with you’ll that Pakistan should beat Nepal without breaking a sweat and they can even consider this match to try out new strategies which will help them when they face India. Also while Pakistan has to travel a lot for their matches but I doubt that’ll effect their performances because the distance isn’t very big hence I’m sure that they’ll be able to adjust well during this tournament.

Inter are a team with a much better history than Napoli in the Serie A of course. They also became champions a couple of years ago too - 2020/21 season. The progress they made last season was really impressive. They improved their performance quite much in the league after the World Cup. They qualified for the Champions League finale too and competed really hard against Manchester City.

It is normal to see them being one of the biggest contenders of the Serie A title now as a result.

However I can agree that Napoli are still very strong now. Despite the manager change Rudi Garcia is also doing a good work for now. They are extremely dominant in their matches. I see Inter - Napoli duo having equal chance for the title now.

@jakdanyel Inter have lost Lukaku to Roma and that’ll be a big blow for them as he was a player who would score lots of goals for Inter and with him Roma will now become a genuine title contender. Also while many feel that Inter and Napoli are the two main team’s for the title I personally feel that now Mourinho’s Roma will make it a three way race and I won’t be surprised if in the end Roma win the league title too.

~snip~ I received the top VIP members bonus from my VIP host last month (wagered around 300k).
It wasn't a big bonus actually if you have received $190 from the monthly bonus with 300k wager. BTW, what was your monthly top players bonus amount?

Yes, I used to get bigger bonus in the past with similar wager amount and the same level so yeah $190 cant be said as big as before.
My top VIP members bonus was $200, not the biggest I have ever received as well because I have once received $300 for the same wager activity IIRC.
Anyway I started to think that requesting reload from the VIP host also effect my weekly and monthly bonus because as per my own experience, my weekly/bonus was bigger when I did not activate reload but my weekly/monthly is lower when I activate reload.
I was rare to request reload bonus in earlier this year but in the last 2-3 months I always ask reload.
Of course it is just my speculation that can be wrong.
Almost makes you feel like a kid again and asking your parents for an advance on your allowance right? They likely are going to tax your pending bonuses before handing you free money in most cases. I don't work for them, so I cannot be 100% but seems reasonable to assume you are correct.

@yahoo62278 that’s an perfect analogy and if some other user’s too could share their experiences we could be able to firmly fix this as the answer but until then we will have to keep our minds open about this VIP bonus.

Hello,
I want to ask you if someone got limit? Error message: "Bet rejected. Max bet exceeded" - my maximum win is about 0.50$... Only on big leagues - EPL,Bundesliga, La Liga it's between 5-10$. Of course with that limits I can't make nice rollover for higher bonuses VIP progress.

I asked my VIP host and she told me - There's nothing we can do, it's about the odds provider, continue betting on casino and your limits could be rise. So if I want my limits to be higher, I should lost on casino... Anyone with similar case?

Most of the forum users here play in the casino even if betting on sports only for a small amount so as far as I know there are no betting limits yet
But I've heard of cases like you in other sportsbooks, players who are limited because they bet using a certain pattern for example betting on one side continuously like betting on total goals over/under no matter win/lose they will continue to bet on the same side with the target odds x2.4 betting in this pattern is not allowed in most sportsbooks, of course there are still other patterns that are not allowed.

Anyways, regarding the bet limits in the last 3 days I saw stake.com users betting almost $30 million or $3-6 million for each match this is one of his bets https://talkimg.com/images/2023/08/27/M9jWm.jpeg  so there are basically no limits for normal gamblers.

@BitcoinHunt3r there’s definitely more to this case because sports book earn from gamblers and they would not want to upset them unless they’re doing something that’s raising suspicion and the best way to resolve it is to reach out to the support and offer any proof needed to reverse this limit scenario.

~snip~
They have added the possible identity verification requirement rules in the July month. I had created a topic about it. Based on the replies of TheQuin, they will rarely apply the identity verification rules. wetsuit have updated the terms to make Freebitco more professional. And the changes of the terms have been made to deal with the abuser and to deal with the laws of some countries.

It is good way to go about it since user base is rising a lot for the freebitcoin. I think with the regulations getting stringent for the companies that are involved in financial domain especially the lottery based and crypto based site. I am not sure if TheQuin has published the new set of rules of not but IP addresses can only tell you about the region of user and if that’s from restricted area then they are banned. Since freebitco doesn’t have know your customer verification process they have no further way out but to just ban the account straight. This is based on the conversion that I keep reading on the gambling sites where gamblers have chance to prove their identity with various levels of KYC processes.

BUT, if there comes stringent processes like these are implemented on the freebitcoin then I don’t know it will take out the fun from only Faucet that is genuine and trusted so far. Hope so it doesn’t happen.

@so98n the Freebitco team is very professional and smart and that’s why they have been running this site successfully for so many year’s now hence I don’t think that they’ll do anything to upset their user base. Furthermore when the Freebitco management has already clarified why these rules were added and how they’ll be applied if needed we should trust in their words and not doubt them.

It's been settled, and I wish them the best.
Oh nice to hear that make more sense to hear user coming back to respond to their claims if they have already been resolved or not because that response will serve as a review of the acridness of the casino team in solving the players' problems when there arise and also how the improve on such issue so that it won't repeat itself with other players account.

One thing I have noticed with the blackjack team is that they always act promptly to any positive reviews or suggestions that can help improve their operations.

@Wiwo I’m not surprised to hear that this matter got settled instantly because BJ team is super fast in resolving issue’s and so far I have zero reasons to be concerned about them. Furthermore for all members make an accusation here only when the BJ support has failed to answer it and lot of time has passed because it creates unnecessary confusion in other user’s mind.

^  Hard to know which of these matches will end in a scorless draw but I have a strong feeling it's gonna be Everton vs the Wolves.  But I still picked one goal scorer out of habit.  Lol.  The no goal scorer was right there in front of me and I just clicked away and chose one from the Wolves.  Cheesy

Anyway here are my Majestic 7 picks of the weekend...

Son
Cunha
Saka
Mbueno
Haaland
Bailey
Diaz

^  That's the money shot.

@tokeweed I don’t expect much from Wolves because they failed to strengthen themselves and on top of it they replaced their head coach which clearly shows poor management on their part. Lastly I believe Halland to be a guaranteed goal scorer so I’m not surprised that he’s part of your selection but for the rest they’re yet to completely convince me maybe I’m being bit harsh but I feel that they can yet do better than their current performances.

I’m not my friend, I have a 6 month old daughter & we have some roof repairs this weekend. I have to be responsible and stay home.
Good decision.
Family should always be more important than favorite club Wink

The next game I attend is Liverpool vs Aston Villa on 3rd September, which will be my first game of the season.
Liverpool is big favorite but it is not going to be so easy as early odds suggest, Aston Villa destroyed Everton in last round and they are doing good in European competition.

Easy win for Chelsea today against Luton, and few tricky matches scheduled for tomorrow.
Maybe someone finds Sports Specials interesting, they are for Arsenal vs Fulham match:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/today

@LFC_Bitcoin that’s a wise decision and while I totally respect it just wanted to share an horrible news with you i.e. Salah may quit Liverpool for Saudi League and by the time you attend he probably would have left. Furthermore Aston Villa have dramatically improved a lot and they could definitely cause many upsets this season and thus I feel that Liverpool should not underestimate them at all.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 26, 2023, 04:52:47 AM
Raheem Sterling is back to his great years of the 2017-2018 season. He made his mark in this game and maybe he will be Chelsea's best player this season. Also, Enzo Fernandes' performance in this game is worth mentioning. He seems to solve the problems in Chelsea's midfield this season.

Chelsea look much better this season than last season. Manchester City and Arsenal are a bit lonely at the top of the league, but Chelsea have a chance to compete with Manchester United and Newcastle. Also, they won't be competing in European cups this season so they can concentrate more on the league. I hope they can get back to their old days and make the league more competitive.
Scoring two goals in matches when facing a team that is considered weak and winning is not something special, that is what they have to get 3 points if not then the pressure will be even stronger on them, as well as when their new striker scores after the previous two matches doesn't produce anything then it should happen, at least they can temporarily close the criticism of last week's defeat and Chelsea will always be in the spotlight because they are a wasteful club in the transfer market together with Arsenal

Tottenham beat Manchester United in the previous match was a surprise, and in the third match this week Tottenham will face Bournemouth, considering that Bournemouth's player material is not as good as Manchester United's so Tottenham probably won't get tight enough resistance, but during the second match how did Bournemouth manage to score against Liverpool even though the end result is losing must be the thing to watch out for Tottenham.
It is predicted that Tottenham in this match will win but it is possible that their inconsistency still exist so that they will get a draw, both teams have the opportunity to score goals and my prediction will be a goal of at least 3-4.

@Stronkored I believe that this victory will boost Chelsea’s confidence and will buy Poch a few days of breather because the start of this new season wasn’t ideal and now they can slowly and steadily build on this victory. Also Tottenham should have no issues in beating Bournemouth because their new coach has shown that they have moved on from the Kane saga and from what I saw in their fixture against Manchester United I feel that they’ll have an excellent season ahead.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 25, 2023, 12:57:49 PM
Bayern Munich have had good financial records when it comes to signing players before now but after the big money they spent on Harry Kane I think they are going to wait and work with the players he has in the team because if he buys more players they will be more pressure for him to win titles especially the champions League. I think Tuchel should  work with the  players in his team because they are going to need more time to blend with each other getting more players now will cost the team to spend more money and it will be a total waste if they fail to win trophies this season. I think Tuchel should just work with the players in the team knowing that he will still get good results.
Tuchel influence at Bayern is undeniably significant, as evidenced by the high price paid for Kane. However, bringing in a high priced player like Kane may have put a strain on their annual transfer budget. While Tuchel wishes appear to be being granted, Bayern must balance strengthening the team while preserving its financial stability. Although the circumstance does not necessarily indicate a struggle for dominance, it does illustrate the need of making strategic choices. It is clear that Bayern has strong finances, cautious management is still essential. The complex interplay between Tuchel preferences and the club long term objectives ultimately shapes the team quest for success.
I believe Tuchel has a good reason for insisting on Hary Kane and I hope that Kane delivers to expectation, or else he will be dispended just like Sadio Mane, Bayern doesn't entertain being slack. About dominance, if not for it, I don't see a good reason why Tuchel would splash that kind of money on him, Kane deserves it though and I don't see how this would affect the financial budget of a rich and stable club. Bayern Munich is one of the few clubs that have good financial book, only that they do not like to waste money on players, just like other Bundesliga clubs. I will personally be judging the performance of Kane this season, and for now, I still give it to Sane, maybe he will justify it better over time.

Well, it's true and I also believe as much as you, Tuchel had good reasons why he signed Kane, and seeing the Bayern Munich transfer rumors with Tottenham regarding Kane which went very tough and also following the several rejections that Bayern Munich experienced in this transfer which in the end can achieve success, I think just seeing this is enough to convince us that they really need a striker like Kane, there is no better alternative than Kane himself. To be honest, I don't see anything like Sadio Mane in Kane, and of course we can already see how Tuchel's expression was when Kane was able to put in a significant performance in his first match against Bremen. This is enough to convince me that Kane is the right option that Tuchel chose and also I believe he is a player who can adapt well.
So we'll see for the next few seasons, and I don't think Bayern Munich has anything to lose by spending 100 million on a player like him.

@nara1892 Bayern made a very shrewd move by signing Kane because he’s the captain of England and he’ll bring in new fan’s which will boost their coffers directly. Furthermore Kane is an top class player and while his first goal was superb but he’ll yet need few more matches to fully settle and then we’ll probably see him break Lewandowski goal records too and lastly win many trophies too.

Real Madrid are playing against Celta Vigo away today. Honestly my expectations from this game are to see Real Madrid getting a decent win and both teams scoring at the same time. Considering their latest head-to-head games Celta Vigo were able to score a goal against them at least. I think they will manage to do it again.

However Real Madrid have made a really solid start to the new season. Therefore I think they would win this game one way or another still. Bellingham is in a great form so he would be the key player in this game again. I guess we would see a 4-3-1-2 formation again as well.

@Velvet78 Celta Vigo have started the season badly and thus we should not underestimate them because they could look to frustrate Real Madrid and earn precious points in the process. Also Bellingham is having a dream start and if he continues like this then Real Madrid can definitely compete for the title but since it’s just two matches we should wait and see how he progresses ahead as the season progresses.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 25, 2023, 05:22:32 AM
I failed to get the rumor that Lukaku and Roma, but to be honest it's an interesting rumour.
Lukaku previously still really wanted to play at Inter, but Inter and Chelsea failed to reach an agreement so Lukaku is still part of the Chelsea squad. Meanwhile Lukaku has also attracted interest from Juventus, but that too appears to have fizzled out. Now Lukaku and Roma have been linked, but I also don't expect this to fall through.

It's a bit strange to see Lukaku, who is Inter's mainstay player, in a Roma uniform this season if this transfer takes place. But it's not a big problem for Lukaku because I don't think he should stay at Chelsea because Pochettino is unlikely to put him in the plans this season.
why did you fail to find a news story that contains speculation that lukaku is interested in roma, there is a lot of sports news online reporting it.

but lukaku is only an option for Rome if they don't manage to get Duvan Zapata, there are also many online news sites that report that lukaku is currently a burden for chelsea because Pochettino doesn't want him in his draft but Chelsea have to pay his salary which is quite high for a while because he is still bound by contract.

Even so, i highly doubt Lukaku will make it to Rome because Mourinho is reported to be more interested in Gnonto (Leed United's sticker) than Lukaku.


@macson Lukaku to Roma is pure gossip and is being done to put pressure on Juventus to seal the deal and on top of this another rumour is saying that Poch is ready to welcome him back in the team if he doesn’t leave hence anything is possible at this stage. Further if Roma do secure him then they’ll be securing a proven goal scorer but if I were a Roma fan then I would suggest not to get excited until an official bid is launched.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 24, 2023, 09:10:56 AM
The transfer saga of Lukaku over the past three years is something truly historic. After buying him for about £100million, only to loan him back to Inter Milan for £7million a season later, it was laughably bad business for Chelsea. Now there are limited options at this point for him. Just over a week remains in the summer transfer window and Lukaku needs to act quickly if he wants his career in Europe's big leagues to last much longer.
Time is running out for all teams when talking about this season's transfer market, and for what you are saying, I also think that Lukaku really has to make a more informed decision to be able to continue to support his career in Europe's big leagues before the transfer market closes for this season. Because if he doesn't move to make a decision until now, he has to keep playing for Chelsea and not make the atmosphere hotter inside Chelsea.

@wmaurik there’s a rumour that Lukaku maybe reintegrated in the team and honestly that’s not a bad idea because he’s a proven goal scorer and can definitely help Poch with the goals that Chelsea badly need. Lastly then there’s also the possibility of Tottenham buying him or taking him on loan but this feels like a bad idea because it’s not wise to strengthen a direct competitor.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Yesterday match between these two teams, Arsenal team won the match by scoring 1 goal. I think Arsenal team did not perform well in this match because Arsenal team played very well.  Player M. Ødegaard scored 1 goal in 54 minutes.T.  Tomiyasu got 1 red cards in 67 minutes. If Crystal Palace could have played better then this match would have been a draw. But Crystal Palace could not win the match due to a little weakness of the team.
It was a hard-fought victory for the Gunners. Arsenal showed class because they dominated the match, and created more chances but their strikers, especially Nkatiah were wasteful. He wasted a clear one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper only to loop the ball higher than the post. But he paid back for his miss by winning a penalty. I saw the attacking prowess of the host after Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card. The home team kept on pressuring the host till the final whistle was blown. The sound of the final whistle was a great relief to the Arsenal team and Mikel Arteta. I saw the young Gunners coach celebrate after the win with his management team. Crystal Palace failed to utilize the opportunity to win after the red card. But I won't blame them that much because Arsenal was good defensively.

I was surprised to see Martin Odegaard taking the penalty while Bukayo Saka was on the pitch. I have never seen him take the penalty in the team, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli are all familiar penalty-takers. Maybe the captain is now skillful in penalties. It was a deserved three points for the Arsenal team.

@Fiatless Arsenal finally didn’t choke and this mentality could be a big difference as they head into this new season because last season they chocked and ended up losing the title to City. Also Rice is shaping up to be a top class player and I totally regret that Manchester United failed to get him because he would have totally transformed Manchester United into genuine title contender’s.

Finally getting the race back again. F1 is starting up this weekend and it is going to be epic. After the big break, I am expecting teams to have some changes, we haven't heard any rumors about who is doing how but after big breaks there are usually changes in the cars.

Let's see if Aston could get back to how they were at the start of the season, lets see if Mclaren could keep their newly found pace, lets see if Mercedes can fix some stuff and finally bring them back to closer to red bull, and lets see what kind of mistakes Ferrari will make lol. It is going to definitely be something to watch because it has been so long since the last time and it should be fun to watch it again and get hyped until the race starts and max just laps everyone Cheesy.

I hope that we can see some top teams other than Red Bull bringing some solid upgrades to the Dutch GP. Because I have really missed a high level rivalry for winning races. Verstappen's domination makes things really boring in the championship. It is no different than Hamilton's dominant times with Mercedes. We don't see any team getting near Red Bull now either like Red Bull did it in the 2021 season and we watched an awesome competition until the end of the season.

I expect more from Ferrari especially. Bringing upgrades can make up for their mistakes with strategies more at least.

@emrecemsan Ferrari lost their competitive edge long time ago and year after year they kept misleading their fan’s that they have improved but honestly @FanEagle is right that Ferrari will continue to make mistakes. Lastly this is Verstappen era and currently I don’t see any other driver that can dethrone him unless his performances suddenly drop which I really doubt can ever happen.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 23, 2023, 07:41:57 AM
Luis Enrique didn't have a good line-up in his first two matches in Ligue 1. PSG lost Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the first game, while Mbappe and Dembele weren't really able to make much of a difference in the second game. PSG failed to win in these two matches because they lacked many things. PSG need creative midfielders, while they also need better defenders.

So far I don't understand why PSG prefer to sign strikers instead of midfielders. Even if they have a good midfielder then their game will get better throughout the season. PSG must bring in midfielders of the caliber of Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne or Ilkay Gundogan, Kroos and Modric, but so far they have not met that criteria from their midfielders.

It's high time the club knows what they need and go for it, they can't keep signing frontlines without scanning the backlines, how these roles operates. The defenders are not fully positioned to win games, rather they keep making blunders that cost them to concede goals in league games. PSG coach, Luis Enrique should make more signings this season, in full focus on the defend and midfield, because that's where their problem originates from. PSG have missed out on big names this season, players that would have secured an easy win for the parisians have already exited the club.
At the end of last season, the PSG team was in disarray. At the end of the 22-23 season, a significant number of the team's players had already left the club and PSG had appointed a new manager. It would not be wrong to call PSG a new team at the moment, the new manager is trying to reshape the team after taking charge of the team. PSG's main problems until last season were their defense and their midfield. PSG could have done better long ago if they had strengthened their midfield and defense earlier but they failed to do so. Luis Enrique is currently in charge of PSG so he will definitely want to strengthen the team from defense to forward. If Luis Enritte is given financial freedom, he can definitely turn this team into a strong team.

@Litzki1990 PSG player’s were distracted due to the Mbappe saga and many didn’t even want him to come back but yet he’s back and it clearly divided the team hence they’re underperforming. Lastly with the transfer window about to close I doubt that PSG will be able to buy any new player’s now but I won’t be surprised if Mbappe departs to Real Madrid.

Elon Musk will come up with "crazy genius" ideas that he is known for, and it will not work and he will say that he was "ready to fight but Mark didn't want to do it that way". I mean he could even say that he will go to Space with his spaceships and then fight there with him, and when Mark refuses then Elon will say "as you can see he refused the fight!!". Its really stupid, just do it, you need a ref and a ring that's it, even a single cam from someone shooting it with their phones would be enough at this point, all people would care about would be seeing one of them win, not the fight itself. Its %100 obvious that he is going to end up losing and that is why he is making these moves.

Some people like Elon are only in because the attention and the spotlight some rumors can offer to their ego.
That is why he has not completely ruled out the possibility of an actual fight, he wants people to continue talking about him and continue to speculate.

When people start to get tired of waiting and assume the fight is not actually going to happen, I would not be surprised if Elon started to publish references to the fight and subtle hints about it on Twitter, so people would continue to talk about it. To end the rumors, it would take Mark to step up and say he is not going to do it, but that would make him look bad , for obvious reasons, the internet would get full with chad Elon scared Mark off the fight.  
Whether these kind of decisions have some hidden intent or really just that having fun on trying to do the things that they do want or really just seeking up some attention from the public. It is really just that it turns

out that this kind of challenging is really going into the point where he would really be needing to fight his co-fellow billionaire which is younger and having that experience on fighting on which if he was scared on the first place then he would definitely be just simply cancelling it but we know on how ego and principle does works or simply the fame. If people turns out that seeing you that chickening on a fight that you have startedthen this is where bad impressions do start and this is something that these people wont really be liking. This is why there's no taking back on what Elon had started. Just like the rest been saying that
i dont know if this fight would push through or we would really be seeing some series or explanation and alibis for this fight to be delayed once more. So its better for the public not to put up any attention
about these billionaires clash and talks.



@carlfebz2 there was never a fight planned both equally hyped it for their self promotion and now that this topic is losing steam both are trying to exit from this topic. Furthermore I had suggested it before and I will suggest it again why not do what Trump and Vince did year’s back i.e. pick a wrestler and let them compete on their behalf but I doubt that they’ll even do that because their job of hyping this fight has succeeded and now they’ll launch something new and then soon we’ll forget this topic.

The series with New Zealand is organized by the UAE at the cost of money because at the moment the UAE wants to improve the cricket in their country. While various Asian countries are doing very well in cricket, Dubai is far behind in cricket. Financially, the United Arab Emirates is a very developed country, so I don't think the United Arab Emirates will feel any hesitation in spending money to improve the cricket of its country. With the kind of cricketers currently in the UAE, the UAE will surely want to add new talented cricketers to their team. UAE, India, Pakistan can form a balance team in their country with some players from Bangladesh to develop their country's cricket. Right now apart from building a balance team they need to build several cricket academies from where they get good quality cricketers every year.

If they really want to grow cricket in their country, then they should encourage the native players. Depending on first-class players from India and Pakistan may work well on the short term. But in the long run, it will do more harm than good. A few months back, several of the UAE players were handed down life-bans for match fixing. The main reason is that these players don't have any sort of loyalty towards the country for which they are playing for, because they are not citizens. The same can be said about other countries in the GCC region, such as Oman, Qatar and Kuwait.

I think that the UAE just wants to promote cricket in the country in the form of business. Not as something in which they can improve. They are making everything in a business model. So that they can generate good revenue in the future from it.

In Asia, especially in the subcontinent, cricket is very big. But it is not as big in the Middle East. Probably they are trying to be the one to actually make cricket popular in the Middle East. That is also going to give them a good amount of money if they are actually successful to do it. But they have to realize that their own population is not going to support the national team that they have if they do not have even a single native player.

@DanWalker I won’t be surprised if they’re planning something on the lines of IPL because they know that cricket loving fan’s will travel to watch these matches hence they’re just testing the waters now and planning for something big in the long run. Furthermore I see nothing wrong in their business model as we’re coming from covid and war era and every country need’s more revenues hence I don’t think that we can criticise them on this particular topic.

It would have been better if Pakistan batted and bowled instead of batting because they are already in a lot of trouble. Pakistan have already lost 3 wickets which put them under a lot of pressure especially with Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan not at the crease, Pakistan team is under more pressure. Pakistan are not scoring too many runs today, Afghanistan bowlers are bowling very well and Pakistan are under good pressure. Although there are wickets in hand here, if Pakistan can improve their batting, runs will be possible. The two batsmen at the crease at the moment Agha Salman and Imam-ul-Haq will not be under too much pressure if their partnership holds up. Right now Pakistan have lost 3 wickets and scored 54 runs in 13 overs, Pakistan should have scored more runs but not due to poor batting performance.

LOL.. nothing seems to be going well for Pakistan. They lost their 4th wicket. 16 overs have been completed, and already their top order is back in pavilion (Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman). Opener Imam-ul-Haq is still at the crease along with Iftikhar Ahmed. Mujeeb Ur Rahman has taken 2 wickets, while Rashid Khan took the wicket of Agha Salman with his third ball. Pakistan is struggling against Afghan spinners. And they have a really long tail, with Usama Mir batting at no.8.

@Sithara007 this seems like a good wake up call for Pakistan because the Asia Cup and the World Cup is coming and they can’t afford to display such performances in those tournaments. Also I wonder if the Pakistani selectors will take drastic steps and drop some player’s over such poor performance or will they continue to back these player’s in the hope that they’ll improve what do you think?

They are definitely not in the same shape they had when everyone was peaking and healthy towards the final phase of last season. Of course they are still the favorites and they can still deliver amazing performances. No doubt about that, but De Bruyne, Gundogan and Silva missing for a few games or even a very long time would weaken every team There has also been an amazing synergy between Gundogan and De Bruyne. They were the perfect complements as midfielders. But let's see if Manchester City can keep their dominance in the Champions League. I believe they will, but I also believe that they are better off with a healthy De Bruyne than without him.
Player injury is one thing that cannot be avoided in football, no one can predict when it will happen and how long he will undergo treatment. De Bruyne injury has been very detrimental to Manchester City, at the same time they have also lost Gundogan who chose to go to Barcelona and Bernardo Silva who suffered the same fate as De Bruyne.

De Bruyne is an important player in the Manchester City squad but without him he could still be replaced by another reliable player, although Manchester City's appearance was a bit unstable due to De Bruyne not being present in the line up, Manchester City is still the top team in the UCL. Guardiola is very aware of the condition of his team without the presence of De Bruyne, he will try to do his best to maintain the stability of his team's appearance to maintain its dominance.

@mamesso while De Bryune is a very important player and his absence is definitely a big loss but it won’t make City weak in fact it’ll give them a surprise element because the opposite coach will have a difficult time guessing what system Pep will deploy. Also when it comes to champions league Bayern is my favourite because of Harry Kane however I’m not underestimating City because of Halland as he can score anytime and change the outcome of the match.
