Another quick-fire innings from Prithvi Shaw, and that means that Mumbai have won the Vijay Hazare Trophy by 6 wickets margin. Shaw made 73 runs from 39 balls and destroyed the Uttar Pradesh bowlers. Aditya Tare was declared as the man of the match, for his 118 n.o, but it was Shaw who made the win possible for Mumbai. For UP, Madhav Kaushik scored big runs, but he was a bit slow during the start of the innings.

Prithvi Shaw's performance in domestic cricket means nothing now. He wasted a lot of opportunities in the past, when he was selected in the Indian team. This performance would confirm his birth for IPL next year as he scored 73 runs in just 39 balls.

I don't know the credibility of their claims, but i have come across quite a number of games online, where you are asked to play to earn btc, lol.

Have you come across any games like that?
If so, did you really earn any btc?


Bitcoin already above 60k, why on earth will some give you free Bitcoin just for playing games?

Nothing comes free and I am suprised ranking members like you are asking these question. It is a scam mate, when you will go for withdrawal they will ask you to deposit something . Stay away from scams

This is interesting, I also have not heard any news related to Doge being listed on coinbase. Indeed it will pump the USD value but the pump won't last long. Last time dogecoin gat pumped and dumped within few days, the same would again happen again if it got listed.

Finally there is some good news about the PSL and the tournament will resume sometime in June this year. COVID-19-hit Pakistan Super League rescheduled to June 2021, confirms PCB. Although its never good to strop and resume the tournaments as all the momentum is lost, but there is no choice.

That is certainly good news for Pakistan cricket If they are again able to resume PSL that will be great. This issue has already dented the reputation of PSL. If now they are able to end this tournament without any glitch then they might be able to again gain the confidence of the international players and the teams.

There is no question about losing the confidence of playing in Pakistan by this event. This is a global disease and its very unfortunate that few of the players got effected by it during the tournament. There is no event of terrorism or any such thing which could have dented the confidence in playing in Pakistan.

COVID 19 is now bigger than terrorism and for the world to come back will take a couple of years now. In the meantime, you cannot deny that such immaturity by the PCB and its medical staff would be not forgotten easily. People are yet to be punished and no decision has been made yet on the players who broke the bio bubble. The world has changed a lot in this pandemic situation and protecting foreign players from COVID19 should have been the primary priority of PCB but unfortunately, they failed.

I was reading an article a few hours back and frankly speaking I was not aware of it. The article is about the top 10 cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin and in this article there is a point where the writer talks about Bitcoin growth. It states that Bitcoin exploded at $8,166 on 8 March 2020 and reaching an all-time high of over $58,000 in February 2021.

So yes, anything can happen this year too. It just took 11 months to reach 58k it might take less than 6 months to reach 100k.

If Afghanistan 545 runs by losing only 4 wickets, I think the Zimbabwean team has the capacity to score at least 400 runs. There is no possibility of this match being a draw. At the moment the match is completely occupied by Afghanistan. Unless a miracle happens, Afghanistan will win the match today.
It depends on how the Zimbabwe players play Rashid Khan and the match is played in the UAE which helps the spinners in the final two days and it is going to be a huge task as Zimbabwe still trail by 234 runs and it is going to be a huge task to take a lead and with plenty of time left in the match it is a game for Afghanistan to win and level the series.

ZIM is trailing by 229 they have not lost any wicket in this session but their chance of winning this test looks very bleak. It is Day 4 and as the match progresses I do not think it will be an easy task for ZIM to avert a defeat. Google probability score also shows Afganisthan has more probability to win this test.
Zimbabwe scored 44 runs without losing a wicket. Kevin Kasuza and Prince Masvaure are batting with great confidence. If the two of them can form a partnership of more than 100 runs, then Zimbabwe will be able to have a good fight against Afghanistan. But if they lose the opening wicket quickly, it will not be happy for Zimbabwe.

Edit : Zimbabwe lost the wicket of Prince Masuvaure. He has collected only 15 runs. His strike night was 20.26. If his innings had been longer, Zimbabwe would have been able to collect a big total.

Zimbabwe is in deep trouble now, they have already lost 7 wickets and it is a completely one-sided match. Great cricket by Afganistan, they not only batted well they have also bowled well. When Zimbabwe started to bat today I was under the impression that they might pull through but great bowling by Rashid Khan, he himself claimed 5 wickets out of 7.

If you are using a local exchange then use FIAT pair if that is available. If not then I would say USDT is a much better option as it is traded on more exchanges than BUSD. BUSD is a Binance stable coin and it mostly being traded on Binance. With USDT you can easily transfer it to any other exchanges or a local exchange in your country.

4151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not news but no wonder why ethereum transactions fees are high on: March 12, 2021, 05:55:52 AM
Probably the high fee of ethereum platform happens because of these things:
- Significant increase of Ethereu price
- Crowded transaction on Ethereum platform because many people want to transfer their ERC20 Tokens
- And yeah, like what @btc_angela told.

I do not think ETH price has to do anything with the gas fee. The high transaction fee only happens when the network is clogged and people want the transaction to be completed fast. The higher the gas fee the faster the transaction becomes and in a clogged network miners will pick up high fee transactions. This is why BSC is gaining popularity because network congestion issue does not happen their and fees are also very less.

Defi is the new and rising crypto like other altcoins  but in the last few months it has been getting a lot of attention because of its affiliation directly with bitcoin and people are making alot of profit with the defi and in future it could give a real hard time to ETH and many other tough crytpo coins at east i think so

thoughts Huh

First of all, DeFi is not a cryptocurrency, it is an ecosystem that is running on the Ethereum blockchain. There are projects that are using this ecosystem and people who have invested in those projects are making good money.

Yes, there are projects like YFI which have more USD value than ETH but you should remember these projects cannot survive without ETH unless they create their own blockchain.
4153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 12, 2021, 05:34:06 AM
Looks like this match will be a draw. Afghanistan has collected huge runs. It is not possible for Zimbabwe to win this match. So the Zimbabwean players will want to survive at the crease anyway and draw the match. After batting so poorly in the first match, Afghanistan scored 545 runs in this match but lost only 4 wickets which surprised me.

To avoid follow on, Zimbabwe need 345 runs, which by itself is going to be a challenge. Zimbabwe had a good start yesterday, but surviving against Rashid Khan is going to be difficult from third day onwards. If Afghanistan could get the wickets of the experienced batsmen (Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza), then the remainder of Zimbabwe batting lineup will fall like a pack of cards. Probability is that Afghanistan will win this match, but let's see what is going to happen.

Zimbabwe is a far better team than Afghanistan. The problem with the Afgan team is that they are highly inconsistent, I do not think it will be a problem for Zimbabwe to reach 345 runs. They have started well and they will easily win this test too.

Did anyone here watch six sixes by Pollard? I saw it on Youtube a few days back and in case if you have missed it then you can watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOjFPJ19Gq4

It was simply effortless for Kieron Pollard, he equaled Sobers, Gibbs & Yuvraj with sixes record in a single over and that also from hat trick bowler Akila Dananjaya!

i got  news about celsius going to list in major exchanges. is it correct

It is already being traded on some of the best DEX, I do not see any reason for it getting listed on a centralized exchange. It is indeed a good project and on their website, they have not mentioned anything about new listing neither anything on their social media channel. From where did you get this news?
4156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 11, 2021, 06:39:16 AM
^^ I hope they don't. Empty stands looks bad but there should be no spectators in any hot zones, especially Mumbai.

Mumbai getting fair amount of IPL games this season despite their covid problem, only shows that how powerful Mumbai Cricket Association is IRL. On the other hand we have state board like Hyderabad, who like to mess things up and then cry.

Maybe due to the influence from the Mumbai Cricket Association, or maybe due to the influence of Nita Ambani who own Mumbai Indians. Ideally I would have liked the IPL restricted to just one city. What is the point in conducting the tournaments across so many cities, when the crowd is not allowed? Why can't they stage all the matches in juts one city, may be Bengaluru, Chennai or even Lucknow, where the number of cases are low? These cities do have multiple stadiums, so it should not be an issue.
Ditto!

There is no gate money (in case of empty stands), no additional benefits and no home advantage for any franchise. In case they were to stage all games in one state then it could have been Gujrat without any doubt, only because of new Motera stadium (Modi Stadium). It can even hold double header on weekend easily and i think they do have fair amount of good stadiums as well.

BCCI governing body needs to reconsider their decision but, there is so much politics involved in Indian cricket that the board members might be helpless. I think they want to show the world that they are capable to conduct the tournament all around India in this pandemic situation. Another reason might be the vaccine, but there are news report which confirms people are still getting COVID19 after completing the vaccination.

From 1992 when they were allowed to return to cricket they had the best team which was able to compete against the dominating Australia and during the 1999 world cup like every other world cup before that they were the favorites to win the world cup and like every other cup they were unfortunate to loose out and the fielding standards they set in world cricket was exemplary and do not forget Herschelle Gibbs in the squad and he was the best fielder in the team along with Rhodes and the catch Gibbs dropped while throwing the ball in air to celebrate gave Australia the chance to win the match and later the world cup.

It is hard to find a replacement for those legendary players but ABD carried the fielding legacy but they are yet to find a legit all rounder like they used to have and i remember when Pat Symcox used to come out as the second last batsman even he could change the match with his batting and even has a Test century and the only player who does not bat in the team was Allan Donald and the rest of the players were all rounders  Cheesy.

When Nelson Mandela was the president of South Africa, he adopted a reconciliatory stance towards the white population. One he was succeeded by Thabo Mbeki, the racial issues were restarted. Mbeki was a very incompetent president (much like those who succeeded him) and to hide his incompetence he resorted to implementing racial quotas everywhere and confiscating white owned farmland. So there is a difference in the South African team from 1992 to 1999, and the team after 1999. Until 1999, all the players were being selected based on merit. And from 2022, only 4 players will be selected based on merit, and the remaining 7 will be selected based on their skin color.

There are other controversies too surrounding the board and its member. There has been a corruption allegation against the board. Last year in the month of October they were on the verge of getting banned from international cricket. There are three main things that have resulted in the downfall of South African cricket and they are the Racism issues, payment row, and corruption charges.

This is actually the reason behind why Hyderabad was omitted this time around.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.siasat.com/no-ipl-matches-in-hyderabad-who-is-responsible-2107110/amp/

BCCI should be blamed, but the Hyderabad Cricket Association should be blamed too. Choosing Mumbai was another bad decision. I hope this won't lead to IPL 2021 getting screwed just like the recent PSL season.

I am also concerned about Mumbai. Across the state of Maharashtra, the new COVID 19 infections are on the rise. As we have seen in PSL, it is not easy to manage so many different teams and franchises. Setting up bio-secure bubbles can be a challenge. All it takes is a single breach, for multiple people to get infected. Crowd is not allowed and therefore I don't understand why they need to schedule matches in big cities such as Mumbai.

As compared to Maharashtra other states are not reporting so many cases. Out of the 17k cases reported yesterday Maharashtra has contributed more than 50 percent. Yet, BCCI wants to organise in Mumbai because of Ambani's influence. Bio bubble only works when the rules are followed if they are not then PSL like situation can arise.

Some positive news surely will encourage the Indian crypto community. Earlier I was only hearing and reading a lot of negative information from the media. Since this information comes directly from the government minister, it shows they are serious about it.

Since the amount is very small you can give it a try. Personally I do not believe it is possible to recover wallet.

Paid service do ask for upfront fees sometime, avoid those as most of the time they will say they were unsuccessful in recovering the wallet and they will then never refund you the fee.
