Very poor show from Pakistani middle order batsmen. At one time they were 200/1 and then sweet collapse, one more time! I was expecting minimum 350 score and easy peasy game for them.

Hasan Ali showing off his power hitting, 4 big sixes. Finally they crossed the 300 mark and 1 over left.

----
Nice recovery, they added 43 runs in last 12 balls. Thanks to Hasan Ali.

I wasn't expecting such an innings from Hasan Ali. He literally dragged Pakistan over the 300 mark. Feels bad for Babar Azam, who missed his century by a few meters (he was caught by Verreyne near the boundary rope). It is going to be challenging for South Africa. The Pakistani pacers are in very good form, and scoring at a rate of 6.40 runs per over is never going to be easy. Right now, it looks like an advantage for Pakistan, to win the ODI series.
[/quote

SA at the moment are doing okay, after losing 2 wickets they have scored 126 runs. They need a good inning from one of their batsmen in order to win this match. The asking run rate is 7.23 which is pretty much okay they can easily get it. The problem is wickets and they also need a good partnership if they want to win this match and the series. Overall Pakistan is in a good position and the chances of them winning this match is good.

I just now wrote a review about this platform. Please go ahead and check it if you are interested. Here is the link  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5328618.msg56717350#msg56717350
4083  Local / India / How many of you have tried GOSATS? on: April 05, 2021, 04:24:35 PM
Last year in the month of August there was a topic created by @webtricks about GOSATS. You can find that topic here - GoSats - An Attempt to Promote Bitcoin in India (What's your views guys?).

I never thought this company would be successful in promoting Bitcoin when the Government itself was not ready to regulate or legalize it. Still, I went ahead and registered myself with the platform without going through any KYC.

At that time they had this thing call spin wherein you spin the wheel and you get some satoshi. I did spin and got 1000 satoshi at that time. Frankly speaking, that was more than what you can get from a faucet. You were only allowed to spin once in 24 hours if I am not wrong. But, I thought who will come back the next day as this platform will get closed surely because of the government.

Guess what? these guys contacted me through email last month and wrote me that they are ready with an app now and I can now start earning Bitcoin for every purchase I made using their platform on the supported Indian e-commerce store.

That sounds great! I was looking for something after purse.io stopped.  As I generally do purchase every month for a minimum of INR 5000 from online stores like Flipkart, BigBasket and etc I was happy to use their platform and give it a try. The percentage of return in Bitcoin was okay for me then I found out about Flipkart 6.75% Bitcoin reward.

I thought of testing it as there is nothing to lose. II purchased a product worth INR 500 on Flipkart using their platform, I was pretty sure nothing will happen but It does work. I got an email that my purchase qualifies for 172 satoshis, which for me was well news. The amount is still pending and as per their disclaimer, I would receive it by MAY.


Here are few screenshots
My earning in Satoshi after I made a purchase using the platform on Flipkart

I am still testing this platform as I lose nothing if they escape. But this platform has the potential to become the next purse.io.

You can visit their website to download their apps - https://gosats.io/.

SPIN IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT


P.S-  I was not paid to write this post.

They ideally should do that but they wont. Mumbai has a VIP status when it comes to cricket and they are willing to risk a few deaths to not change the location. That's how things really are in the Indian sub-continent. I just hope it doesnt go through the same treatment as PSL and get cancelled. Hopefully they have strict rules and bubbles so that the possibility of infection among players remain very low and IPL doesnt turn into a joke like the neighboring countries league turned out to be. 

In case of PSL, it was Wahab Riaz, Darren Sammy and one of the franchise owners who breached the biosecure bubble. PCB was afraid to take any action, due to the larger-than-life stature of those who were involved. The same can happen with the IPL as well. I don't think that the BCCI will be having the courage to take solid action, in case some of the franchise owners like N Srinivasan or the star players such as Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma breach the bio-secure bubble.
If the breach happens then BCCI should punish those who were involved but, it has not happened yet. In a 90 day tournament there is a high chance of breach as players will get frustrated with time but the only thing that will keep them motivated to not breach the bio bubble is the money I guess.

If Youtubers are so good in predicting then why some of them have not become crypto millionaire. Do not go with those prediction, it is very difficult to predict any cryptocurrency performance. At the moment I only can see Bitcoin going sideways and few altcoins pumping. I do not think the alt season has started.

I only thought that android was the worst operating system for cryptocurrency but it seems none of these big companies are able to stop scammers from doing cryptocurrency scams by using their platform. I assume  the biggest falt lies with the user who does not ever verify what he or she is downloading from these store. It is beeter to directly visit the service provider website in order to download any cryptocurrency app on your device.

I don't understand why BCCI is hell bent to host so many fixtures in the Mumbai? Hyderabad and Himachal seems pretty okay but no game for them, although Hyderabad did some drama over their revenue reporting which cost them hosting rights but in recent time they look better bet in comparison to Mumbai.

Yes.. it is surprising. Right now the state of Maharashtra (where Mumbai is located) is the worst in terms of COVID 19 situation across India. Also, Mumbai is not the sole metro city in India. There are Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Also, just one of the franchises are based in that city (Mumbai Indians). I just hope that this obsession with Mumbai doesn't result in the cancellation of the tournament mid-way (as happened with PSL).
I do not see any possibility of IPL being canceled. The IPL will be held even if the coronavirus grows. Maybe some rules and obligations may increase, but the IPL will not be abandoned. The IPL was held even in the most difficult moment of the coronavirus the previous season, when there was no vaccine. The infection rate is now somewhat lower than in previous years and everyone is quite health conscious. Hopefully all the matches of IPL will be held on time.

It is too late now to cancel the tournament or reschedule the location. BCCI now need to implement more strict rules if they want IPL to run smoothly. If any more such incidents happen then it will tarnish the reputation of BCCI and also IPL. The government of Maharashtra has been struggling from day one when the pandemic started. BCCI should have considered alternate location for this season of IPL.

I am looking forward to the all important  2nd ODI match today between Pakistan and South Africa in  Johannesburg. Pakistan has a good chance to win this series as previously they had tough time and struggle for Pakistan to win series in South Africa. It will be a big moment for the team and i think Baber Azam batting will play a major role for this to happen.

If only Babar azam is consistent with his batting you can be rest assured Pakistan will win the series. The biggest problem with this team is its inconsistency hence, it is too early for speculating a series win for pakistan. South Africa is not that weak as it looks like they do have preety good batsmen but they lack good bowlers at the moment.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and those that are known as Bitcoin cash or Bitcoin gold are forks. I would not recy you to buy those but only buy Bitcoin. You can buy in small quantity if you cannot buy 1 Bitcoin. If you have any local cryptocurrency exchange in your country then use them to purchase Bitcoin. If not then you can register on Binance exchange and you can purchase Bitcoin with local fiat.

Reddit has a strong cryptocurrency community. What you are hearing is the negative aspect of that community. Since a lot.of scams habe happened in the past and till date people easily fall for such FUD. If the team had not reacted to this FUD quickly it could have jeopardize the project. You cannot control this phenomenon, where is good there will be evill too.

Just in Axar Patel and 10 ground staff test COVID positive at wankhade stadium. BCCI says it is too late to shift now, they will be now setting up more tougher rules. I now doubt whether IPL will go on smoothly.

BCCI should shift all matches from Maharashtra to othe location. The situation is pretty bad in the state.
4092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: April 03, 2021, 08:05:48 AM
Fine drama in last 2 overs, it looked like both team wanted to throw the game from the strong position. Its really hard to be a pakistani fan, pata nahi kitne heart attack dete hai yeh.

You have to wait for the last ball to be sure if Pakistani are a winner or not. They need only 3 runs in the last over and they did not score a single run in the first 4 balls of the last over making the equation as difficult as 3 runs from 2 balls.  Undecided

Those who bet on a pakistani team win would surely had the heart attack in that last over.

If they had lost the match then these two guys would have been in the headlines of all the mainstream media channels in Pakistan. That was a very close finish. Another record was created yesterday now Babar azam holds the recored of fastest 13 century overtaking amla and Kohli.

Great! this guy is still receiving Bitcoin in his address.

How much greedy people become that they forget they are getting scammed royally. What a bunch of morons these people are, who are actually losing their Bitcoin just to satisfy their greed for more. I am sad that people are still falling for such scams, whatever efforts you put in to educate these morons end of the day they will remain morons.

Thanks for sharing this post I hope New members here do not fall for such scams in the future.

South Africa seems to be recovering from the collapse they had in their ODI match against South Africa.

I think you mean South Africa against Pakistan.  Smiley
Even though south africa recovered well and managed to make 274 runs but it seems that these runs are not enough as Pakistan are 138 runs in only 26 overs and can easily win this match.

Pakistan needs 55 runs from 51 balls they still have wickets and they can easily win this match. Khan and Rizwan need to stick to the wicket till the end. If Pakistan loses any wicket now then SA will have the upper hand. It was because of Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller that SA was able to score 273. Overall an interesting match and I expect it to be a close one too in the end. 
4095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 02, 2021, 03:42:44 PM
Yesterday they had enough wickets at hand, but they were scoring runs at snail's pace. The scoring rate picked up only after Kyle Mayers got out. Jason Holder and Joshua Da Silva tried to push up the run rate, but from one end Kraigg Brathwaite was again dragging it down. To complicate things further, there is a slight chance of rain for today.
West Indies did play a patient innings and they were not looking to win the match, all the were looking was a safe situation where they do not loose the match and now the rains has stopped the match and even though i thought Sri Lanka could last a few sessions and could draw the match now with the rain interruption i am certain that the match will end up in a draw, unless we some outstanding bowling performance from West Indies.

This match will surely end in a draw, Srilanka will try to drag this match without losing a single wicket. West Indies bowlers need to take a wicket which I think they are struggling to do. The first test was a draw and now the second might be too. Not interested anymore now in this test.
4096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What age bracket is perfect for gambling on: April 02, 2021, 06:34:42 AM
Gambling is specifically made for adults between the range of twenty (20) years upwards, because from my perspective gambling involves already made money which anyone that's not does not have another source of generating income are not suppose to involves in a such activities of gambling because of profit and loss involves, so for instance young adults between the range of ten to eighteen (10-18) years are not suppose to partake in  gambling because it can lead them to steal another person finance when the money is not available and if they are addicted to it, most especially when lose is bigger than their profit.

Age does not matter anymore.

Kids nowadays can earn money from various sources and can also gamble online without going through KYC. Offline it is not that easy but I have seen a few friends of mine in my younger days using the pocket money to gamble in offline illegal gambling sources. Age is just a number, if you are a minor you still can gamble if you know where to go.
4097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 02, 2021, 06:27:16 AM
The problems with the BCB and Shakib Al Hasan is not new and there was a hurdle which was an unwanted news headline for getting the permission to play the IPL as Bangladesh has scheduled a Test series in the following months and his request to play the IPL made some confusions for some in the board and i guess it is sorted by now as he is currently in India preparing for the IPL.

IPL is extremely important for all those players who are a part of it, and that is the reason why most of the cricket boards don't schedule any bilateral series during that period. I don't know how viable it is to block two months of the international calendar every year for a franchise T20 league. But in the end, all that matters is money. And BTW, I heard that BCCI want to expand the IPL to a three-month tournament from 2022 onwards. I am not sure how much comfortable the other boards will be with that decision.


It may happen teams from other states started to play in the IPL but it seems so far there is no good improvement on it, there was also some talks were going like 9 team or 10 teams going to be a part of 2020 IPL but nothing changed in the end. IMO this 3 month schedule is bit longer an people may get bored so nothing to be changed from the current league structure.

I guess by next IPL they will increase it to 120 days  Grin

Too much of T20 this year and with 90 days of IPL, half of the year will be over. BCCI will do anything to increase their revenue but with the third wave of COVID19 hitting India is it practical to have 90 days schedule. Just imagine how players will cope up with the bio bubble for those 90 days. This is too much for players and if some players get frustrated with the bio bubble then this IPL will become will be over in no time.

This was poor show from the Srilankan batsmen. Almost all of them got the start but they failed to capitalize, SL team was lucky that rain interrupted the game otherwise Windies bowlers could have been get through their tailenders as well. Only minor positive for SL is Pathum Nissanka still at crease and batting nicely, now his task is to bat with the num 10-11 batsmen and get close to Windies target as much as possible, may be add 40-50 runs.

Srilankan teams performance has been been pathetic. This match is slowly moving out of their hand , 100 lead is a big lead and I do not think the tail ender's will be able to stick infront of the WI bowlers.
4099  Local / India / 5 Questions to Ask if you belong to the Indian Crypto Community on: March 30, 2021, 05:12:04 PM
Happy Holi!! to all  Cheesy and Sorry, for not being active on this board.

It has been a long time that I have been listening to whether the government of India will ban cryptocurrency or not. The answer is they cannot and will not otherwise they will lose on the concept of "Empower India and Indians"

Whatever I have written here is my view after thoroughly reading the paid media and after viewing the videos of those so-called crypto gurus on Youtube.

There are five questions that I would like to question and read comments related to it.

  • Why after so much negativity suddenly there is a positive outlook on mainstream media?
  • Why suddenly the government is asking top companies to reveal their investment in cryptocurrencies?
  • Why suddenly one day our respected FM decided to stop the FUD?
  • Why was Binance allowed to invest in WazirX?
  • Why Coinbase is hiring Indian IT professionals suddenly?

These five questions will answer you clearly what the Indian Government is planning? I hope so!

I have heard so much negativity prior to the RBI ban in this forum that I have started neglecting such news about the cryptocurrency ban in India.

P.S - Do you think a country like India, can genuinely monitor every cryptocurrency transaction?
Yes, it can if it is done through a KYC verified Indian exchange

NZ vs BAN second T20 is underway. BAN won the toss and selected to bowl first. This decision is turning out to be good for BAN as they have already taken 4 wickets with NZ only able to score 102. But unfortunately rain has hit the match and it has been delayed.
