Can the tennis season still be saved this year or is the tennis story over this year?


Seems that the tennis tournament this year will be ending on the sad note. Only few have remained in the schedule but most likely they will also be cancelled as the pandemic is not slowing down. I guess we can't do anything but to wait till next year, but it the conditions didn't improve or worsen then I don't expect tournaments to resume, specially Grand slams.

This pandemic has ruined the world and our lives thanks to China. Every other sporting event is either getting cancelled or postponed. I do not know how many more days, months and years we need to live our lives like this. I hope scientists find a vaccine to eradicate this disease from earth as soon as possible.

Windies team will be hoping for the weather to help them in this test match. Also this performance of windies team is not something new. They are not one of the best teams while England is the world champs, so this performance of  windies is expected. I don't understand why people hope good performance by the lowest rating team.

I don't think the weather can help the WI as we saw in the last test match it didn't save them. England are in a strong position right now and I think we'll see England bowl them out for less then 200 and England will bat again and put it out of reach for the WI. Its a shame that the WI team can't handle the pressure which is what lets them down a lot of the time. After the first test match it was looking like it could be a good even series but that all changed and now its just one sided.  

The West Indies are trailing by 232 runs and they have already lost 6 wickets, which means they have lost most of their prominent batsmen. I do not think it is possible for them to come back but the weather can still play its part.


Going with the 4 seam bowlers have till now proved to be good decision for England since all have contributed with the ball. WI need another 32 runs to avoid follow on and 4 wickets left. It would be interesting to see if England can impose follow on WI or will they decide to come to bat again even if they get them all out before follow on.



Its just 32 runs, I do not think that would be a problem for West Indies. They still have few wickets in hand. they only need to stick to the pitch and they will easily overcome the follow on.

Apart from SEO, you also need to create some social juice. Try some social bookmarking websites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and others to generate referrals.

In the end everything depends on the content you are publishing on your website. The better and unique your content is the more traffic it will generate.

For pc/Laptop
Which is the best quality antivirus that has the ability to detect most viruses and keep safe of your all documents. Personally i have been using kaspersky antivirus for a long time but at some point i saw a reaction to the deletion of some document.

Here is some list of top good quality antivirus:
1. Bitdefender antivirus
2. Norton antiVirus
3. Kaspersky antivirus
4. F-Secure antiVirus
5. Trend Micro antiVirus
6. Webroot SecureAnywhere antiVirus
7. ESET NOD32 antiVirus
8. Norton antiVirus


Opf my next target Bitdefender , so what do you think? It's good ?

I do not use any antivirus as I feel they themselves are viruses. With technology getting improved day by day, every browser now has a built in anti malware and anti spyware scanner, the rest is taken care by Windows defender.
5166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 26, 2020, 03:03:25 AM
Yeah if btc is available with me or already in the wallet of the site then might gamble with it or may use an alternate coin which the site may accept it and play with those coins. Transaction costs when the fees are high then might switch to some other coins because at times the fees are so high that it makes no sense only to gamble as winning may not be that much.
The fee is always the issue when we gamble with btc and only with gambling but also for other transfers. Other gamblers think that it's not acceptable to pay the fee if they think it's too much. But as long as we have the option to gamble with altcoins that the casino we're gambling, shift into that crypto.
It is convenient if we're gambling with our preferred crypto, bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum or any of our choice.

I prefer using Tron and Doge for gambling as they have a less USD value and also because the fee is very less as compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Another benefit of using these two cryptocurrencies is that their USD value is less volatile to others plus the transaction time is fast.

the BCCI only care about the money which is why they never stopped at trying to get this seasons IPL played and they now have what they wanted.

Is there an issue if a cricket governing body is thinking about the money it can earn from a tournament? I do not think so, IPL generates more revenue than any other cricket tournament in the world because the BCCI knows how to organize and market it.

BCCI, one of the richest sports organization in the world. As said it'll never think of other issues. Somehow it needs to make the money out of the IPL.

BCCI is not the richest sports organization in the world, National Football League (NFL) is. What issue are you referring too? UAE offered to host the IPL and BCCI accepted it. How can a tournament of cricket be an issue for anyone?

I have noticed many of the alts but ETH is truly a strong competitor in crypto market, over the past few days ETH is showing some great signs which means the price is pumping.

The price have also break new yearly high, eth is absolute gem for Investment. I am sure it is all set to break $300k barrier some interesting story is about to come in this crypto market, let's wait and watch...

ETH is one of the most sought after altcoin and the second after Bitcoin. It has been pumping for the last 48 hours and if I am correct it has pumped by more than $30. It is expected to pump more so if you are HODLing then keep on doing that.

You read this article to know the reason why it is pumping.

Entering the market at any level is good as this market will only go up. Selecting the proper coins/tokens is important before investing. Do your research before investing in any cryptocurrency.

I buy when there is a bear market and sell when there is a bull run.
5171  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which country will be the Next world power on: July 25, 2020, 12:34:12 PM
There can be only one Super Power in this world.

At the moment China has been flexing its muscles but China cannot survive without the US and Europe. Their economy depends on them. The present situation is making it harder for China to do business with these nations. China needs market to sell its product and without the market there is no money for expansion.

In Asia and Middle east it is Israel that has been dominating the policy with its own terms. It has the support of Russia, India and the US. But, it has more enemies than friends.

In my opinion one of them can become the next superpower within the next decade or so.

To avoid KYC and no limit the best option would be over the counter purchase of Bitcoin. I understand through localbitcoin.com you can make a purchase over the counter but they are asking for KYC.

You can use Mycelium Marketplace to purchase Bitcoin locally without any KYC and no limit. The bigger the city the more vendors you will find in the Marketplace.

Thanks for this wonderful post.

The two most common Ponzi scheme that I have seen is investment based pyramid scheme and MLM based cryptocurrency scheme. Both these will offer higher returns on amount invested.

It is better to stay away from such scheme if you want to protect your investment.

I doubt if Stokes going to surpass Jacques Kallis even on batting, let alone Sobers. If he's focusing on only Test/ODI then there is some chance that he could play longer and come close to them but again their Test batting average is above 55 and Stokes is still under 40 average.

He always perform in big games tho, which is commendable.
Ben Stokes will be in the class of Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff and he could become the best all rounder England ever produced and it is a big shoe to fill considering i always felt Andrew Flintoff did not explore his full potential and the main reason is injuries and the performance in the 2005 Ashes where Flintoff was touching around 150 km/hr bowling deadly spells and scoring runs like he owns the pitch was a sight in itself. If Ben Stokes can take care of his fitness then he can fulfill his potential as he always rise according to the occasion and players who single handedly win matches and series will be remembered for decades.


Coming to the match, England is struggling at 131 for the loss of 4 wickets and i hope they can score around 250 runs.
Today we have 3 complete sessions and I watch some as well first two sessions belong to both teams but in third session Butler and Pope change all things for home team run rate is also very good and 100 runs partnership from these two bring England in very strong position now holder looking for new ball as may be its turns things for West Indies but now I am feeling England is going with upper hand.

Olli and Buttler partnership have helped England to surpass 250 runs for 4 wickets only. Ollie is now on 91 and Buttler is on 56 runs. England have come back strongly after the start they had got it and if they can manage to survive without a wicket in last 5 overs of the day that will be a good thing. Let us see if Ollie can complete his century today or not.


I am sure Ollie will be able to score his hundred, he only needs 9 runs more. Burns also played well, he gave a good start to England but the middle order was not able to capatalize it. I expected Root to stick to the wicket till the end but he was out for just 17.

Logic ki maaaaaaa... chis jala di bhai?? Festivals are correlated to the harvest season not to developing or developed countries. And no, Rama did not return during Diwali so he could harvest his grains at Ayodhya.

Bhai murkho ki kami nahi hai is duniya main!!

Why bother then? It is not his fault he has been told about it or might have read it somewhere. You do not need to explain to everyone about festivals in India.

I would always recommend you to join a signature campaign but since you rank as a Newbie you have zero chance to get accepted.

If you are good at writing articles then I would recommend you to visit these two websites.

publish0x.com and real.cash both pay you in cryptocurrency for any articles that you publish on their platform.

Still it will affect due to the players walking on the pitches, so days passes there will be no grass but better have something other than nothing that is why they choose one stadium to play this tour.

The matches may be held at the same ground. But there is a chance that different set of pitches are used for them. As far as I know, most of the grounds have 2-3 pitches and the curator usually prepare 1-2 additional pitches in addition to the main one. If that is the case, then the concern about the surface deterioration doesn't make any sense.
I am not talking about the deterioration, imagine the pitches were too close to each other so infield players will walk and run over their while fielding which could do some damage to it so it may not act like a fresh pitch even though players were batting on different pitches.

I am sure they will be taken care of by the ground stuff. Good thing is that the matches are still happening at a time when most matches are getting cancelled.

Wow, one month festival, never thought that a festival could last one month as i am accustomed to Carnevale, Pasquetta and Christmas, but the matches in IPL just last around 3 to 4 hours and they can stack the day with the rest of the programs as the matches actually takes place at night. I really enjoy participating in these events rather than watching it in television. I read the wiki page but i am more confused now as it says it is a festival of several other religion.  
Festivals in India are usually celebrated for several days to weeks. Diwali isn't a month long festival. It lasts for a couple of days and people around the world call it the festival of lights due to the epic fireworks basically which is why people from different religions participate in it.

Certain festivals last for a couple of weeks though. 3rd world countries like India go big on festivals primarily during the 2nd half of the year. Diwali plus IPL basically equals fireworks!

Yeah you are right festivals are big in India.

This time it will be double bonanza, the regular festival and at last IPL 2020 and for a month staying at home will be fruitful.
