For T-20 IMO, Kohli should give full series or at least 3 match to Samson as WK- batsman and let's see what's he got.

Not a bad suggestion. I am not a big fan of Rishabh Pant. But at the same time, I don't like Sanju Samson either. Both of them looks over rated to me. But Samson deserves a few matches, as he was dropped after just one opportunity. Just give him 3-4 matches. If he doesn't perform, then drop him. But it is not fair to keep him out of the playing XI, after including in the squad.

Finally, Zimbabwe has a lead of 2 runs. Man Chakabva and Tiripank are eating balls like crazy  Grin 16 of 107 and 6 of 55. This is being nicely played by Zimbabwe. Srilanka still need 4 wickets

Edit: Tiripano gone  Undecided Looks I brought him bad luck.

Donald Tiripano's wicket completely changed the game. Zimbabweans have a lead of 5 runs, with just 3 wickets remaining. 23 overs remaining for today and the Sri Lankan bowlers will be ecstatic right now. But they should not forget the fact that Kyle Jarvis is capable of playing long innings. They need to wrap up the Zimbabwe innings within the next 10 overs.

Very exciting match between England and Australia ongoing at the U-19 World Cup. Australia need 253 to win, and are comfortably placed at 127/2 after 25 overs. This match is a must win for both the teams, as the loser will be relegated to the plate league. Both the teams had lost their match against West Indies earlier. So far.. it looks like England will end up playing with teams such as Japan and Nigeria.  Grin

Glenn Maxwell might be in good form for the franchise teams but what i am trying to tell is that he was not in the team for a very long time and Australia was performing well in his absence after the return of Warner and Smith and they have some young talents in the team and so is the reason he was not considered for the tour to India.

Maxwell may add some stability to the Australian middle order, because right now they are looking very weak in that department. Players such as Alex Carey and Ashton Turner have failed miserably. And this is in stark contrast when compared to their top order, which is one of the world's best (David Warner/Aaron Finch/Steven Smith/Marnus Labuschagne).

You can try it, you can dream while awake. but don't expect too much that the idea of yours will go boom and everyone will buy a shitcoin without a project with a fool ceo. and your idea was made in 2013 so I bet that 2020 will have %0.000001 chance that you can victim a investor to try your shitcoin. you have also competitors but they are improving and doing good for scamming investors but investors now are maybe aware and improve their knowledge too so you will have no more chances to success.

You are right. Most of the investors have gone through a lot of heartburn as a result of the scam ICOs earlier. So you can't expect them to behave in a foolish manner now. But even then, occasionally I come across posts from users, complaining of ICO scams. In most cases, these users are noobs or inexperienced individuals. The problem with these people is that they go ahead with their investment plans, even before getting a good idea about the basics of cryptocurrency.

Yea some exchanges charges high fees, but if you withdraw your bitcoin then expect the high fees of it. I remember HitBTC is the highest withdrawal fee I ever used, it is totally insane not really recommended.

Well.. I have an account with that exchange and I would agree. I created the account, because HitBTC was the only exchange which would allow me to trade some of the tokens which I received from bounty campaigns. Their withdrawal fee changes slightly from time to time, depending on the network congestion. The last time I checked, it was BTC0.0015 per transaction.

Belie it or not, now even if the real Satoshi appear with is 100% proofs that it's the ONE, it won't change the fact that this market is ruled already by whales, market makers.
It doesn't matter anymore this is the sad face of crypto.

Although Satoshi is the inventor of BTC, the fact about Bitcoin is that Satoshi doesn't hold any power. There is 100% decentralization with Bitcoin. That said, I don't think that either Craig Wright or Dave Kleiman has anything to do with Satoshi. If Mr. Wright was the real Satoshi, then he could have proved the same through multiple methods. Till now, he has failed to do that.

Shikhar Dhawan injured his shoulders while fielding in the last ODI against Australia and it was a freak accident while diving and these injuries does happen in the field and you cannot do anything about it and even Rohit Sharma dislocated his shoulders while fielding in the previous game and that too while diving for the ball, either they have to minimize taking risk in the field and under perform and with the competition they have now they need to be good in the field or someone will replace you.

The team management won't be much bothered. I hope that it is a minor injury. The selectors have called up Prithvi Shaw and Sanju Samson. These two players had performed well for India A, against the visiting New Zealand A team. But even then, it will be difficult for either Shaw or Samson to get an automatic slot in the playing XI. That is unless Rishabh Pant gets dropped.

And you took mcaffee's prediction seriously? Well, personally I followed his project hypes wayback, even though most end up being crappie, and it got to a point that most people didn't take his predictions serious anymore.

Well.. you can't deny the fact that John McAfee is still a big name across the industry. When he makes crazy statements such as this one, the major media outlets will cover the story. It is entirely another topic whether his prediction is believable or not. I am someone who believes that any sort of publicity (either negative or positive) is going to benefit the cryptocurrency sector.

It has also changed the life of many players. So many got selected to national team because of IPL. Many domestic Indian players are targeting IPL teams than the national team. The money is good and the exposure is global.

Not just that. Even the state boards have come up with their own T20 franchise leagues. Examples are the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) and the Karnataka Premier League (KPL). And even the players participating in these tournaments are being compensated very handsomely. The IPL has brought big money in to the sport of cricket.

Have you guys checked the match between India vs Japan in U19 worldcup..? Japan might be a small non experienced team but all out for 41, they took wickets early and continued to take wickets, they gave away 19 runs in extras. Dont know what to say about bowlers. I think we might see another world cup from Indians this year.

The win against a weak Japanese team counts for nothing. Some of the Indian bowlers improved their stats and other than that, this match was of zero significance. They won the first match against Sri Lanka, but even in that match they were facing weak opponents. I am just saying that it is too early to claim that India will win the tournament.
5072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2020 start of a fresh market for crypto. on: January 22, 2020, 04:00:15 PM
I am not feeling very optimistic about this year. We are almost through January, and Bitcoin is still hovering below $9K mark. Other cryptocurrencies are faring even worse. And the next block reward halving is about to commence in a few months from now. Everyone is expecting a major boost from the halving event, and if that doesn't happen we can expect the prices to go down steeply.

Yes the maxwell doing really well in BBL and he scored 353 runs in 12 matches with average of 58%,  so it can clearly picture about maxwell current form. May be australia cricket board recall maxwell for Australia squad to upcoming series.

The board is yet to announce the squad for the upcoming T20 series against South Africa. Maxwell may be selected for the tour. BTW, this year's Indian Premier League is scheduled to begin on 29th March and this may be more important for Glenn Maxwell when compared to any other series (either domestic or international). This time, he was auctioned for ₹107,500,000 ($1,500,000). I doubt whether he'll be getting anywhere near that amount playing for Australia.

This year most of the Australian cricket players got a very good money from IPL auction. Top few Australian players all got good money. Maxwell didn't perform well last year. His overall IPL batting average is around 22.9 from 69 matches and he picked up around 16 wickets. 

IPL has grown larger than the sport of cricket. Players such as Maxwell and Cummins are earning from the IPL 5 times or 10 times of what their national boards would pay for an entire year. And that too for just two months of participation. IPL has become a lifeblood for the Australian and West Indian players. For the other teams, the exposure is lower.

I am afraid that you are late by a good 3 years. This was a very viable method during 2017. Ethereum had a massive bull run, during which the exchange rates increased by 120x. A lot of the investors (many of them in their teens or early 20s) were left with huge amount of money. And some of this wealth was diverted in to the ICOs by these nouveau riche individuals. But those times are long gone.
5075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin do you prefer to hold for more than a year? on: January 22, 2020, 03:32:52 PM
As of now, I am holding three coins for more than 2 years. These are: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum. I have sold most of my altcoin holdings, especially those smaller tokens and shitcoins. Looking back, I have no regrets. Almost all of those shitcoins have lost their value, ever since I sold them. My only regret is with BSV. When I sold my BSV coins, the price was somewhere around BTC0.008 per coin.

At the most he may have clocked 150 kmph, as we can't expect a 17-year old to bowl any faster than this. I think 150 kmph was the fastest ever bowled by U-19 bowlers, such as Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
There is no doubt that Kamlesh Nagarkoti is the future as he impressed everyone during the U19 World Cup but he is injured most of the time and he missed almost 2 years due to injury and having multiple fractures in his back and i heard he is back after a long gap and started to bowl in the nets and hopefully he can bowl with the same ferocity as before and stay fit and if that happens he will be in the Indian team pretty soon.

But still, I regard Matheesha Pathirana as a future prospect for Sri Lanka, at a time when they are struggling to find a successor to Lasith Malinga.
Good to see new talents but he needs to improve his line and length, i saw a clip where he was accurate with his yorker but in his last game he was spraying the ball.

I am quite skeptical about Nagarkoti. He has missed more than two years as a result of injury. At such an young age, if he is having trouble with injuries, then what will happen after a few years? The bowling coach is obviously going to ask him to change his action, which will result in a lack of pace. And if he loses his pace, then he may find it very difficult to remain competitive in the domestic circuit.

Just around 5 over remaining for today and Zimbabwe is yet to lose a wicket. Anyway, they need only 140 more to get a lead, and it looks as if this match will end up as a draw. Sri Lanka could have stepped up the scoring rate today, if they were serious about winning the match. But Mathews was batting at snail's pace. Zimbabwe playing XI has experienced players such as Ervine, Taylor and Williams. I don't expect them to collapse tomorrow.

AB de Villiers is currently playing for Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL). He retired from international cricket when he was 32 or 33, due to political issues. But will this do any good for South Africa, given that de Villiers have explicitly stated that he is not interested in either the ODI or test formats? This is going to be more like a temporary patch up, rather than a permanent solution.
AB de Villiers retired because of the fight between the cricket board about playing in multiple leagues and the scheduling issues and the increasing work load he was undergoing during that period. He wanted to play for leagues but the cricket board was not keen on that as he usually takes break for International cricket and that is the reason he retired early and even in the last ODI world cup he expressed interest to return but it was too late but now he expressed his decision to play in the T20 World Cup and i am sure the cricket board will consider it because of the pathetic situation they are in as all the batsman are struggling across formats.

There were issues between the two sides for quite sometime. The biggest face-off came during the 2015 world cup semi-final match against New Zealand. And in form Kyle Abbott was dropped and out of form Vernon Philander was included in the side, just to increase the number of non-white players in the side. AB de Villiers was the captain, and he was mad at this decision.

Abbott was the best bowler for South Africa during that edition of the world cup (9 wickets in 4 matches @ average of 14.4). Philander went for 8-0-52-0 in the semi-finals and South Africa lost the match. Abbott signed a Kolpak deal after a few months and said good bye to South Africa.
5079  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bought this stuff with Bitcoin, great way for people to become aware of Bitcoin on: January 21, 2020, 05:22:50 PM
If you tell people that you bought stuff in the internet or even in a shop with Bitcoin, people will become aware of Bitcoin, more so if the stuff that you are showing them have value when you bought it with fiat money, what do you think about this?

How this is going to work? Nowadays Bitcoin is used less as a currency or mode of payment, and used more as a speculative investment asset. How we can encourage people to spend their Bitcoins, when we ourselves are expecting that BTC will reach $100,000 or $250,000 within the next few years? Spending our coins means that we are expecting Bitcoin to go down in the market.

Oh.. so this is the reason behind his bearish predictions with Bitcoin. Poor old man lost the private keys and password to his Bitcoin wallet and is therefore jealous of those who kept their coins securely. IMO, he should leave all this bitterness aside and move on with his regular life. It is still not too late to own a few coins. And Peter Schiff is still financially sound enough to purchase a few dozen BTC at the current market prices.
