Introducing a new sport takes may take many decades to have a real impact. The most basic requirement is Olympic inclusion. If a particular sport is not included in the Olympics, then the governments don't have any incentive to support it. And this is exactly the reason why countries such as China and Russia ignore cricket completely. And the ICC is least bothered in getting Olympics included in the Games. Now they are saying that it maybe possible by 2032. And ten years later, they will claim that they will push for the inclusion in 2042. This sort of delaying tactics will go on forever.

If the youngsters perform in the upcoming series then it is end of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane and they should hang their career. It is a fact that the career of Wriddhiman Saha is almost over once Rishabh Pant showcased his talent in the Test format and now it will be hard for him to make a return in the team unless Rishabh Pant is injured. Not sure about Ishant Sharma.

Yes.... so far it seems as though Bitcoin is recovering after every large drop in the price, so it gives people multiple opportunities to make a profit. Let me give you an example of what one of my friends did, when he bought at the all-time-high price of $18 000 and then when it dropped to $3000 and it took 3 years to recover.

He jumped in on $18 000 ...thinking that it will go much higher... but... the opposite happened. The price took a nose dive to $3000 and it took 3 years to get back to $18 000. So other people will never invest in something like that, but he said... f%^&k that, he bought 5 bitcoins at $3500 and he hoarded...and hoarded...and hoarded.... then the price recovered to $18 000, but he still did not sell, he just continued to hoard.

He eventually sold at $60 000 and made a profit of over $300 000 ......... (nothing else performed that well over the same period) 

Well your wish has come true and Srilanka have won this match with 5 wickets in 19.5 overs. Sri Lanka avoid the whitewash and it's a happy dug-out! The bowlers did a superb job to restrict the Aussies to 154. And, they backed that performance with a good batting performance.
Kushal mendis played a very good knock and took his team home.

I have come to understand trading is a two way thing no matter how experienced you are losses is a sure expectation. Learning is just the only way to keep the loses minimal and by learning I mean continuous learning and also trading is one profession too that needs attention because divided attention can only cause tension in the midst of retracement if when the trade is in the analyzed direction

It doesn't change anything for the citizens since it wasn't illegal in the first place. As mentioned in the article, people are already using it. Do I need to remind you that we don't need any approval from any government to use Bitcoin? Who cares if Ukraine decided to make it illegal? Surely not the Ukrainians themselves.

It only helps companies to make sure that they are operating in a recognized and supervised environment and that they won't get a surprise a day with someone telling them "you have to close the doors tomorrow".

Not really a new per se, or I mean not an important one. There are like 300 countries worldwide so expect to see a few hundred appearing from time to time.

I too think there is no relation between Russia VS Ukraine. Making a currency "legal" doesn't mean it's a currency "official" or that could be used by the government

I write apps for a living.  Someone wanted a crypto one done and they paid me in bitcoin. Living the dream.

They are against everything they can't control, it's nothing new in a world ruled by elites who worship fiat as their deity helping them rule the world. If we look at who is all in that famous FSB, then things become even clearer. When you mention Bitcoin to these people, their blood pressure immediately jumps and their hearts start beating like crazy, because they have one big problem - how to put the genie in a bottle, or somehow tame it to work in their favor.

I think it's quite possible for Afghanistan to beat Bangladesh to be honest because the Bangladesh team is currently not in the best shape or form right now.

Well, Afghanistan is also not in the best shape or form right now too, but I think Afghanistan takes their cricket more seriously than Bangladesh. And obviously, if they can beat Bangladesh the other teams are going to fear them , what do you think?

I also agree with this and these types of actions are against sportsman spirit. I think PCB should not allow these types of acts in the match and take strict actions like banning these players for 2 or more matches. Unless and until there is plenty for these acts, players will not refrain from doing these stupid things.

Regardless of what they have done in the past, we can't make any emotional judgments. WI T20 sides are well known for having strong hitters, they always play much better than any other format and anyone can alter the atmosphere in just couple of minutes. Although we know this, it would be better for WI if they bowl first against IND. However, IND wins the toss and opts to bowl first. Wishing WI success in the T20I series. There are some great players on both teams in T20, so I expect this to be a thrilling game.

I would be very happy to see Afghanistan beat Bangladesh, because as you have rightly said Afghanistan have progressed a lot and deserve more recognition for their efforts. Also if both India and Bangladesh play with a weakened team then it’s up to Afghanistan to show what they can do, and if they win against both the teams then other teams will take Afghanistan more seriously than they currently do.

I am also very excited for this years IPL. Mainly because of 2 new team being added and alot of players have been exchanged between teams. I lost a bit of interest in IPL in last couple of seasons but these things bought a new freshness in the IPL and I am looking forward to it.
This year also I am backing Chennai super kings to perform well.

I really don’t remember any spin bowler from Pakistan except for Afridi cause he used to bowl Spin, or was he a medium fast bowler always had trouble understanding his bowling. Also didn’t Shaun Tait have that weird action and despite having the pace he barely performed well, just googled and it was also injuries which effected his career, because I clearly remember he had the potential to succeed but he failed too.

Match started. India won the toss but chose to field. It was an awesome start from India. Bhuveneshwar bowled and Surykumar caught Brandon King's wicket. But Kyle Mayers from WI was on fire striking 31 runs out of 24 bowls. 7 fours. But Chahal bowled well and taken his wicket on lbw. Ravi Bisnoy had a chance to take Pooran's wicket but touched the boundary line. Now WI has scored 55/2 out of 8 overs. If WI is able to take 10 runs from each upcoming over, then they have a chance to score 179. Will wait and watch.

IPL matches are going to be quite interesting. the starting match is between Kolkata Knight Riders versus Chennai Super Kings and this match is going to be really interesting and competitive in my opinion as both teams look quite good for this year's IPL.

There are always some rivalry going on between them. I think that India and Pakistan are never going to be friends, to be honest. If they could, things would have been different. And the media of both countries seems to put the wind on fire. I genuinely believe people are not bad, but everyone judges a country by looking at only a selected few people.

I don't get why all you guys keep saying that there are not a lot of casinos that you can place snooker bets on. Almost all major popular crypto casinos offer matches on snooker (Stake, Roobet, ...). Snooker is indeed super popular in UK, but it is gaining rapid popularity also in China, as some young talents are emerging from there and they started winning ranking tournaments also.
