IMO Its Kinda bizarre to think that ICC would prepare pitch favorable to any team, let alone India. If that was the case then every wc final would be between India vs Pakistan.

That' would be great for the cricket and for the spectators also.

I wish if ICC could take this advise seriously and implement in coming T20 Worldcup  Wink
In your dreams 😉😉 and in reality it would never happen.

I can't comment on the pitch condition but I can say that England will be having favourable conditions as they are playing at home.

Sometimes players also need to enjoy and relax.


4022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on DFINITY: internet computer protocol (ICP) ? ? on: June 06, 2021, 04:21:32 AM
My opinion is The ICP price seems overrated from its Hundred  Millions of Circulating supply and it's pretty centralized. But seeing many reviews from youtube they are saying this is the time to buy ICP because it has the potential to gain more? For now, its price is still going down on the market.

This is the Ann Link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1891789.0 but it seems the OP is not updating their thread.

Already the project is over hyped, do you think they still need to update their ANN?

This project was hyped from the day it was launched in 2019, if I am correct. They took three years to develop the infrastructure and now it has been launched on some of the best exchanges. I do not think the hype will dry down soon.

For recent news you can check cointelegraph. I have been following them for quite sometime now and they are very good. For daily analysis you can visit trading view and follow multiple data analyst according to your needs. I only follow these two websites.

No, I donot think so.

Polkadot is a good project and if you want to hold it for long term it will certainly be beneficial. There are a lot of good projects coming up on it and most of them are related to Defi. The main purpose of polkadot was cross chain integration, I am yet to see any project coming up with it.

Ethereum is the leader in Defi, just because of the high fee people are shifting to other Blockchain but after the Berlin fork the fee has reduced a lot. You will again see an influx of new projects in it.

Most of us know about pros but very less about the cons. So let me write a few which I have experienced for the last four years.

1. Network congestion is quiet frequent.
2. Fee in Satoshi goes up whenever their is a congestion.
3. Highly volatile for short term hold.
4. Transaction gets delayed whenever the price goes up or down.
5. Once payment made you cannot recall or amend it.
6. Transaction cannot be cancelled.
7. If a transaction gets stuck because of fee it can remain stuck for an unknown number of days.

The analysts are saying that India may face a stronger and third wave of COVID. Who knows whether it will happen or not. Still four months left for the T20 world cup but ICC should take the decision as early as possible. Cause there is a matter of arrangement which will take time. If the situation doesn't get better in India then UAE and other middle East county will get the chance to host the world cup. In my opinion, ICC should give permission to Oman and other middle East countries for hosting world cup this time. Cricket will gain more popularity in middle East countries if a world cup happens at their places.
Great now another middle East country wants to host the world cup. Looks like the middle East is formerly gearing up for cricket. All thanks to south asian migrant works cricket is getting popular their. But when will ICC decide, whether it wants to change the venue? Time is running by and they have a few months left before the world cup starts.
4027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: June 05, 2021, 07:28:14 AM
There is a suggestion by many that the WTC finals should be played in a three Test match format and hopefully we will see that in the future.

How can a final consist of 3 matches? And in case of test tournament, that would mean that the final will be played out over a duration of one and half months. It will be just like any other bilateral series and there won't be any excitement. It doesn't make any sense. Let it be limited to one match. If not, there will be new requests to change the format of the ODI World Cup final as well. I would suggest adding one reserve day for the test championship final. But having a three match final is not a good option, IMO.

I totally agree with @Vishnu.Reang. If the WTC final is played in a 3 match format then it will not feel like a final match. The audience will not feel any excitement. It will seem like a general test series held between the two countries. So without formatting 3 matches, it is enough to have a match final.

Absolutely correct!
A final match should be a singal match and not best of three. Either you win, lose or draw. If it's a draw both countries will share the title and the trophy. I do not see that as a problem.

Best three won't look like a final match but a final tournament. It is also a test championship, already the excitement is less as compared to the other formats.
4028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 03, 2021, 09:38:17 AM
It has been claimed many times that cricket should be included in the Olympics. But it is not being done. Many peoples believe that the inclusion of the Cricket in Olympics, some cricket boards like India and England will lose their influence over the ICC. So the big boards don't want cricket to be included in the Olympics.

The biggest obstacle used to be BCCI. But now they have received assurance from the government that BCCI would not come under the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), even if the sport is included in the Olympics. Another issue was that previously BCCI was controlled by the Srinivasan- Sharad Pawar gang. They were opposed to the inclusion, because the monetary returns for ICC/BCCI was low. But the current leadership under Ganguly has taken a much more favorable view regarding this subject. Even if cricket is included in the Olympics, it will not make much difference for the test nations. But for associate nations such as Netherlands, China and Japan, that means millions of USD worth of funding from the government.
If cricket is included in the Olympics, cricket will get world class respect. There are many people in America and China who do not know the game of cricket properly. Cricket is limited to a few countries. Adding cricket to the Olympics will give almost everyone in the world a chance to learn about cricket, and they will become interested in cricket. Which is good for the future of cricket. Hopefully the ICC will take the necessary steps in this regard.
That is a dream I guess, I have not head anything now. There were some news about adding cricket in Olympics last year. If it happens it will be in next Olympic. ICC and other powerful board must support this cause. If it gets added then many countries will start adopting cricket.

They only care about moneys. If the pandemic situation doesn't get better in India then no nations will agree to play in this condition. There will be huge number of foreign players, coach and other staffs of each team in T20 world cup. This is not IPL where organizer will give lots of money to players and they will come to play at so called bio-secure bubble system. I don't think that current situation of India will improve within this month. BCCI just wasting the time, Middle East countries should take the preparation to arrange the world cup at their stadiums.

India is not a small country neither does it have a small population. It will take time for the virus to slow down. I think before the worldcup the situation will be far better. If it doesn't then the Worldcup will be shifted to a different location. At the moment things are looking way better than what they were last month.

The last part was good "don't be greedy". People get scammed because they are greedy that is the fact. Scammers are innovating everyday. This is kind of scam is brand new to me. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

Why do people go to such a crypto exchange?

There are so many reputed ones still you will read every day a new name of an unknown exchange. What kind of lucrative offers drags them there? Just because of their own greed they lose what they have and then they cry for help.

Scammers are getting smarter every day and this is the first time I am reading about such a scam. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

An electric car just like Tesla but can also mine Bitcoin and Dogecoin, great! This car might become the costliest car in the electric car segment. Until I see the actual car I won't believe in the concept. There have been many competitors of Tesla in the past but none of them has been on road.
4034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: June 02, 2021, 07:17:31 AM
Next few years? I disagree. More and more companies like Pfizer, Moderna etc are beginning to send their vaccines to India which is why I am expecting 90% of the Indian population to get vaccinated by the end of 2022.

Also, Indians are clearly aware of how deadly this virus is, but the majority aren't following prevention protocols due to which the 2nd wave was worse than the first.

That is wrong. Pfizer and Moderna have refused to supply vaccines to India, until the government agree to their indemnity conditions. As of now, AstraZeneca and Sputnik V are the only global vaccine manufacturers who have agreed to supply vaccines to India. On top of that, India has also approved Covaxin (produced by local manufacturer Bharat Biotech). Unfortunately these vaccine manufacturers don't have the capability to produce as many doses, to cover the entire population of India.

India is the second most populated country and it is not possible for most pharmaceutical companies to produce such a large quantity of vaccine. The rate by which India is currently running the vaccination programme might take three years to vaccinate every citizen. Plus there is a lot of opposition to these vaccines in rural areas. I doubt it will be over by 2022.
4035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Red crypto market today on: May 30, 2021, 06:44:31 PM
There is nothing new happening at the moment. If the market went green they are bound to go to the red zone. This is how markets perform, it will remain like this till September. Unfortunately weak hands are going for panic selling. Keep calm and remember market always bounce back.
4036  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto is here to stay, do not panic on: May 30, 2021, 10:26:12 AM
Only weak hands sell in the crypto sphere, If you one then sorry this field is not for you. I do not know what is going through the mind of the Chinese Communist Party. they ban and unban cryptocurrency quite often. The Indian government, on the other hand, has no clue what is a cryptocurrency and therefore the citizens in that country are busy buying as much they can. Markets will go up and down you need to be ready to accept this fact. Stay calm and stay focused.
4037  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: May 30, 2021, 08:39:45 AM
Personally, I have lost interest in this edition of the IPL primarily because of the gap and the fact that many overseas players won't participate in the rest of the season.

The BCCI is trying to pack it up quickly through double headers etc which is the right decision in my opinion. They could have avoided this entire mess by following their IPL 2020 strategy, but their greed screwed them over.

As expected they took the right decision but took it after the mess. IPL 2020 was a huge success but 2021 is a huge mess. I completely agree with you it's BCCI's greed that caused this problem. Most of us won't be intrested in watching the matches now.

If you find the right airdrop then you are lucky. It all depends on the project I generally donot participate in airdrops, but if I find an interesting one then I do not hesitate.

There have been few that I participated in the past that are very successful projects now and luckily I am still holding those tokens.
4039  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the real deal on USDT Tether? on: May 30, 2021, 04:41:11 AM
The problem with tether is lack of transparency. It has one of the biggest market capitalisation and if Tether holding limited shuts shop the market will certainly crash. I have always avoided it in the past and have been trying it in present. It is far better to invest in other cryptocurrency than a stablecoin. In case of emergency like the market meltdown we are seeing now you can use USDC or BUSD.

They were legend category players in cricket and it's not easy for a team to get the replacement of any legendary player. Current Sri Lankan team is not perfect to compete with other teams but their players aren't in worst condition. They need more better guidelines and training so that they can improve their skills. You forgot to mention another great player of Sri Lankan team, ‘Tillakaratne Dilshan’.

Sri Lanka is perhaps the only test playing nation where the cricketing structure remains limited to Colombo and one or two nearby cities. There is hardly any infrastructure in the provinces to the North and East. Even Afghanistan has managed to spread cricket to all the provinces within their country, but being a test nation for so long, Sri Lanka has failed in that regard. The situation in Bangladesh is similar, but they recently started a domestic competition which includes teams from the provinces.
Srilankan ceicket board is responsible for building infrastructure but I guess they are also becoming like SA cricket board. Nothing can be done if the board itself is divided and does not know what to do? They are the only cricketing nation that are still debating about the 2011 world cup loss.
