India is too far ahead and Australia needs a miracle to overtake them. As of now, India is on top with 360 points from 3 matches, while the Australians have only 216 points from the same number of matches (I am talking about the 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship). Things may change if New Zealand is able to inflict a few defeats on India next February.

Does anyone really think that the West Indies will be able to put up a fight in the third ODI? The Indians can lose to teams outside the Big 3 only if they are complacent. And this was the reason why they lost the first ODI. But now they are back to peak form and we can expect a similar result for the last match as well. The only thing that didn't went in India's favor was Virat Kohli's dismissal for 0. Perhaps he got bored after sitting in the pavilion till the 37th over.

The tax rates would be much lower, if the European Union cuts down its wasteful spending. For countries such as Sweden, Germany.etc, the tax rates were really high even before the European Union was formed. Once they were admitted in to the EU, another layer of taxation was implemented on the residents living in these countries. But I guess the people are fine with this. Recently Merkel forced the EU to spend more than €100 billion on the Syrian refugees and the EU residents were very happy with this move.

Mining is down with all the cryptocurrencies and not just Ethereum. There is not a single cryptocurrency out there, for which mining is profitable now. Even when the Bitcoin prices were hovering at around $10,000 per coin, the miners were at the best making a very small profit. With the prices down by 30%, almost everyone is mining at a loss now. PoS mining isn't doing any good as well. PoS coins have gone down even more than the PoW coins and those who accumulated them for mining purposes are now regretting their decision.

Well.. I am not going to refute what you said. Dogecoin ranks among the top-50 coins as per the list given by Coinmarketcap. And even if we go by the 24-hour trade volumes, it remain as one of the most traded cryptocurrencies. But that doesn't mean that it is one of the better coins out there, either technologically, or ideologically. It is a copycat of Luckycoin (one of the lesser known altcoins that existed in 2013). And this Luckycoin itself is a plagiarized version of Litecoin. There is no maximum supply limit, and theoretically infinite number of Dogecoins can be mined.

A lot of the countries have tried to copy the idea of the IPL and create their own versions of the league. But only a very few have been successful. The Mzansi Super League is reported to be in deep loss, and the same can be said about the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as well. The Big Bash League of Australia and the Caribbean Premier League of West Indies are some of the few tournaments which have become profitable. The main problem is that all these leagues (including the Pakistan Super League) are heavily dependent on the Indian audience for their survival. And attracting the Indian audience is going to be a tough task, as the BCCI has banned Indian players form these tournaments.

This is a typical example of a pyramid scheme. First the scammers will send 2x ETH to the wallets they control, to give an impression that the give away is actually working. When the ordinary users do the same with small amounts such as 0.01 ETH, they will also get 2x amount. But once some user is foolish enough to enter big amounts, he will not get any coins in return and this process will go on using another site and a different URL.

Advantage is with Australia, but I have reasons to believe that New Zealand would give them a good fight. The New Zealand bowlers seems to be in good form. Even with one of the bowlers (Lockie Ferguson) injured, they managed to restrict Australia to around 400 in a batting-friendly track. Neil Wagner has been in terrific form so far this year. If the spinners can also chip in, then NZ will be having a realistic chance of upsetting Australia at Melbourne.

Well... this is not right, IMO. The IPL is truly a global league, with more than a hundred overseas players participating in it. There are instances when some of these players miss their national duty because of their commitment to the IPL. The players are benefiting from this, as their IPL salaries are manytimes what their national board would pay. But at the same time, the other cricket boards suffer due to the unavailability of these players.

Under these circumstances, is it correct for the BCCI to ban Indian players from participating in the foreign T20 leagues? We all know that their real intention is to cut back the popularity of these leagues (such as the Big Bash League and the Caribbean Premier League) in India, and to prevent these leagues from raking in valuable TV revenues.

If a project has real life usage, then it will be noticed by the investors, irrespective of whether it is a new project or an old one. Take the case of Mindol as an example. This is a relatively new project, and the market capitalization has increased from $180 million to $650 million in less than one month. And this proves that if a project has merit, then it will fare well at the market despite the prevailing negative sentiment. 

Hmmm.. the Visakhapatnam ODI is very crucial, because this is a 3-match series and in case West Indies manage to beat India, then they will win the series. And this can have an impact on the ODI rankings for India, as they are currently at the 2nd place with 120 points. If they lose another ODI match, then England will be able to widen the gap between them and India. 

Well... I know why they consider Dogecoin as a shitcoin. Because it is a shitcoin. In fact, Dogecoin can be considered as the benchmark for the shitcoins around the world. There can be no better example for a shitcoin other than this coin. There is practically zero development ever since this coin was created, and the entire code was copied and plagiarized from other projects such as Bitcoin and Litecoin.

My only advice to the noobs is to remain vigilant. Too many scam projects are around, and new users should invest only in those projects which they are 100% sure about. Visiting the scam accusation forum will help, but remember that in most of the cases the projects turn out to be scams only after the ICO/IEO phase is completed. And by that time, the investors might have lost their capital to these scammers.

Nowadays a lot of the projects are going for IEOs and ICOs, even before the initial phase of development is over. So by the time when the ICO/IEO is completed, the tokens may not be ready to get listed. Another factor that comes in to play is that now the team needs to spend money on the exchange listing, at a time when they should be concentrating on the product development.

LOL... I watched Peter Siddle sending down missiles during the abandoned match between Victoria and Western Australia at Melbourne. He was constantly targeting Shaun Marsh and Marcus Stoinis with short pitched deliveries and a couple of times Stoinis got hurt when the ball hit his rib cage. I am wondering whether this is the reason why he got recalled all of a sudden?

Second largest franchise T20 league in the world has started. The first match of the Big Bash League saw Sydney Thunder beating Brisbane Heat by a healthy margin of 29 runs, with Callum Ferguson hitting 73 for the Thunder. With the IPL auctions scheduled for this Thursday, a lot of the franchises will be watching these matches closely.

And in the Bangladesh Premier League, Shoaib Malik managed to score 87 from 50 balls for the Rajshahi Royals, but his team still lost to the Khulna Tigers. Mushfiqur Rahim hit 96 from 51 balls for the victorious team. 18 runs were required from the last two overs, but Andre Russell conceded 14 runs of the 19th over.


 

If an IEO goes down, then you can't blame the exchange for that. Although I would agree that Binance is no longer following their earlier strict screening criteria, there is hardly anything they could do to increase the exchange rate of the token or coin. If the project is not unique and having no practical usage, then it will go down no matter how much support it gets from the exchange.

To put it honestly, nowadays too many franchise T20 leagues have been started and it is getting slightly repetitive with players such as Chris Gayle and Andre Russell appearing for 5-6 different franchises in a single year. We have the Pokhara Premier League (Nepal) and the Qatar T10 League ongoing now, apart from the Mzansi Super League. It is actually very tiring to keep track of all these leagues.

Not practical at all. First of all, in most of the cases we will find out that a particular ICO is a scam only when the funding phase is over. And by the time we start taking actions, the promoters might have vanished with whatever money they could accumulate. And once they commit the crime, these people usually move to third world nations, where the law enforcement and judiciary can be bribed. This makes it very difficult for the victims to bring these people to face justice.

Will it be possible for you to give a few examples? From what I have seen, the campaigns of 2019 had a lower success rate than those which ran during 2018. I was really surprised by your post, claiming that the opposite is true. And for my part, I stopped participating in these bounties during the second half of 2018, after failing to get any reward for all the time and effort that I put in to them.
