Yes, reading some books that contain financial solutions will really help you to eliminate poverty from your life and family, because I have seen many investors who dedicated their precious time in this Bitcointalk forum just to acquire knowledge of Bitcoin, and they are among the wealthy investors in their community. Do everything possible within your capacity to get a good job so that you can start saving money against bearish season, which is the best season many people in the society use to invest in Bitcoin so that when the price increase higher they can improve financially in the society. There are some Bitcoin video you will watch for social media, it will add more talents to you in a way you will become a good investor in the community.

If you do not have will and a specific plan for your life, even if you read 1,000 financial books, it will never help you escape poverty, let alone help you become rich. If you just read books and become rich, tell me, why are many people who graduate from college still unemployed or still have to work in non-major jobs with low income? Knowledge is extremely necessary and important, but more important is how you apply it to life to create results. Don't just think too simple, just read financial books and you will get out of poverty.

It's unusual to see such a performance from Atlético, and the Vallecano area is not the kind of team that can lose by a big score. The next matches will show how good Atlético are because they have three rounds to play against difficult opponents, Sevilla, Valencia and Real Madrid. But for Atlético, such a big victory is an exception, in the first round they played 0-0 with Betis, it's just more like Atlético.
You could even say that this is the first time that Atletico Madrid have managed to beat an opponent with a large enough score and it is extraordinary that goals have been scored by six different players, only Morata has managed to score two goals. This big victory could not be separated from the impressive performance of the Atletico Madrid players who launched non-stop attacks in the early minutes of the match, making it very difficult for Rayo Vallecano's defense to keep pace with Atletico Madrid's game.

This happened unexpectedly and if you look at their performance in the first and second weeks, Atletico Madrid's performance was not as good. Vice versa if you look at Rayo Vallecano's performances in the previous two matches and they are also not a team that easily concedes with big scores like in the match, even in the previous two matches Rayo Vallecano swept away wins against Almeria and Granada.

I actually did not want to say this, because I generally do not talk trash about any goalkeeper because they do that hardest work, and playing as a goalkeeper is actually really hard compared to playing as an outfield player, because if you make a mistake, you will be remembered for it, it does not matter how many great saves you make. But the goalkeeper of Rayo was pretty horrible in this match.

Of course, the defending was also absolutely trash from them. It was just a bad overall performance. And I also definitely agree that this is a type of performance that we generally do not see from Atletico Madrid. And unlike the goalkeeper of Rayo the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper performed well. He made some reliable saves and did not even let the ball loose, he actually caught them.

The Inter Milan match was not a surprising match even though Inter Milan was able to win very easily at Cagliari because everyone knows that Cagliari is a promoted team in Serie A this season so there is nothing to be surprised about the results of their match because Cagliari itself is trying to adapt well this season in the Serie A competition. Apart from that the top of the standings is still held by AC Milan after being able to play in two matches at the start of this season and Lazio only needs points through several wins so that they can immediately put themselves in a better order in the standings.
It's hard for lazio to wake up at this moment. I think that lazio will be suffering from another loss or draw soon. Cagliari has no quality at this moment. Intermilan was able getting cleansheet against cagliari which is good. Duo milan is going so crazy since the first week.
I expect there will be a strict competition between duo milan vs napoli in getting scudetto. The performance from acmilan is beyond my expectation. Intermilan is still relying upon martinez.
Acmilan was coming with new face as pulisic and RLC have beena always showing great team work. Acmilan is now having chelsea's trio in the past. Pulisic, RLC and giroud.
Im very suprising to see how chelsea's players can always adapt fastly in acmilan.

yes but be careful not to underestimate this team which is a real thorn in the side
you don't know how many bets it made me lose, both when I gave it a winner and a loser
I honestly don't understand his performances, but I avoid betting matches against Lazio (simply)

Lazio has started the season really badly. They are currently in the relegation zone. Yes, I know that it is just the start of the season and they will probably perform better in the future. The team which had finished second in the last season is currently battling to win a match. They better start winning very soon because otherwise it is going to be really bad for them and they will not actually be able to rise up through the table.

The expectation from them is really high in this season. I am starting to think that they will not be able to live up to their expectations. But at the same time, it might be too early to judge them, because it has only been two matches.

Ten Hag spent without regret in this transfer period. Man United's squad has begun to change but has yet to reach the level Ten Hag wants. The management of Man United may consider a new contract for coach Ten Hag. The process of changing owners of Man United is in trouble. However, this does not affect the personnel decision. Whether the Glazers stay at Man United or not, Ten Hag is still the choice for the coaching chair at Old Trafford.
Let's wait and see what Ten Hag's team will do this season when Ten Hag won the fans' trust and Man United's management.

Nobody gives a shit bout the glazers, if they're not selfish, they should have sold the club even before the start of the season but they chose to take the club backwards. Isn't it clear that the fans of Manchester United are already fed up with them?
Just like you said, Erik Ten Hag is the man for the job we currently have a good coach that's also a fan of the club so he should know the high demands of the club better.

Currently, Two players should be added to the squad to replace the absence of Luke Shaw and that of Tyrell Malacia. That said they are also yet to complete the move for Amrabat he will definitely be a great addition to Erik Ten Hag and Manchester United.
He is a player that has Manchester United at heart, so I'm sure of him doing all he can to help the club win trophies.

First of all, I have to say that Ten Hag has done a good job with the club so far. But there have been certainly some decisions. That definitely did not get appreciated by a lot of people. And the most recent one is that I did not want to sell Harry Maguire. I definitely thought that 30 million was going to be a good price for him, which West Ham was offering as far as I know. It definitely feels like if he just actually let Harry Maguire go, their team will instantly become a better one. But probably the coach knows best. And of course, the decision he had taken with Cristiano Ronaldo was not appreciated at all.

But anyway, he is bringing in better results compared to what we had been watching Manchester United playing in the previous years. And at this moment, I don’t think he should have any speculation about himself.
545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your reasons for adopting cryptocurrency? on: August 28, 2023, 10:29:18 AM
Lately majority of people find theirselves within the crypto space, but many of them do not really understand the actual reasons for adopting crypto currency other than to make profit, what are your own reasons for adopting cryptocurrency?
As we are different humans being we have different thinking of bitcoin and our reasons of adopting will be different, so I believe that bitcoin  knowledge is something I know very well that why people do accept Bitcoin is as result of it a digital currency and it does not being controlled by the government or being manipulate by the power of people around the society, and again it have a privacy and its also an asset, we have different dimensions of why we adopt bitcoin and know person we will state it veiw why it love bitcoin and it will be of different forms.

Yes that’s true, but as human we all want the profit too. We just have to be careful and vigilant.



Bitcoin provides a lot of useful use cases for us and each person will have a different use or case. But you are right, perhaps profit is still something that people will care about and prioritize. But that is not wrong because with the current life without money, what does privacy or anonymity mean? I mean, nobody cares about the poor, and if you're poor then you don't need privacy.
Moreover, even governments, banks, organizations are looking for ways to make money, why don't we take advantage of bitcoin to make money? What's wrong here?

Nothing actually but you’ve to DYOR and stay vigilant, don’t use any exchange you don’t trust unless their good reviews, also make sure you have a good in-depth understanding to anything you’re doing within the crypto space. One of the reason why I use only Binance and Bitget to trade is because of good reviews.

I recommend limiting and if possible you are better off staying away from centralized exchanges. In addition to privacy, storing assets on a centralized platform is too risky. When you store your crypto assets on those exchanges, it is no longer yours and you are not in complete control of it. Reputable centralized exchanges like Binance or that bitget also have no guarantee that they won't crash. Don't forget that FTX is also one of the top exchanges until they crash without notifying you.


It is very difficult to completely stay away from centralized exchanges and it will be even more difficult if you are a day trader. You won't have much choice as decentralized exchanges are still quite limited when it comes to features like trading. But you are right, we should limit storing our assets on centralized exchanges as we do not have full control over our assets. They can freeze or lock our account at any time, just like the bank did. We can still use them for other needs such as trading, and converting to fiat but never leave too many assets on it for a long time even if it is a reputable exchange like Binance.
546  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best nonKYC exchange? on: August 27, 2023, 11:28:34 AM
I'm in the US but I also can use a VPN. Kucoin is now full KYC so I'm looking for a reliable alternative. Any suggestions? I have alot of USDT sitting on the tron network so I need tron support.
And why should you look for an alternative if you are already used to Kucoin? You have not tried to pay another person to pass KYC on the Kucoin exchange.
It is safer to trade on the exchange on an account with KYC. I heard that soon all exchanges will force users to provide their documents. And it makes no sense for you to constantly change the exchange for trading.

Buying KYC accounts or having someone else KYC these days is no longer so difficult, and they are very cheap. But you will be in big trouble if in the process of using your account suddenly frozen or locked. When you ask the person to pass KYC for you before, they will most likely make it difficult for you or worse, you will not be able to contact them anymore. Then your money will be permanently confiscated by the exchange. I thought about that, but it's still too risky and not worth the risk.

I don't know how you came up with the calculation using fibo but do you think XRP will get that high because that will mean almost 300% rise from the ATH around $3 which has been the highest in the life of XRP. The last time it got that high was without any court case.

For doge coin, it may go pass your speculation if it got the hype of Elon musk but I don't know if Elon musk will keep an eye on it because it was really hyped the last time. Bitcoin is still the favourite.


The numbers the OP provided seem crazy but I'll believe it and maybe even achieve a higher gain than the OP predicted. Have you ever thought about a super cycle? If you combine the factors of the world economy and the market cycle, you can see that the bullish season will most likely coincide with the time when the world economy enters a recovery and growth cycle. That will drive investment demand to the highest levels we've ever seen, so the market will be hyped up like crazy. I even believe bitcoin will hit over $200k and not just $173k as OP predicted.
548  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation overpowers the value of money on: August 27, 2023, 11:07:40 AM
it can't be avoided, we can only really know how to prevent it from happening to us. usually here I think we should start investing in long-term assets like gold. This is very important if you really have enough assets. paper money will not last long at the same price, it always experiences inflation. buy enough stuff then save more for gold, it will definitely help when massive inflation occurs.
True, Gold is still the safest commodity to maintain the value of money in the long term. Inflation is not a new thing and every country must experience this, so it is necessary to learn from experience to keep the value of money that is owned is not lost. One way is to invest in gold, property or bank deposits.

Each country has its own way of dealing with inflation in the country, individually I think it is also necessary to update several investment opportunities to secure the money you have.

Investment should never be one-sided. We should know how to invest in many areas and diversify our investments according to the current situation. Gold has always been a preferred investment tool. There are many options to choose from when choosing your investment.

We are in the place where Bitcoin is talked about the most. While diversifying your investments, you should include Bitcoin among these investments. Just as gold is an investment tool that protects the value of your money in the long run, so is Bitcoin.

When we want to find an asset to stabilize our asset value, gold is the choice. But if we want our money to increase more to combat future inflation, then bitcoin will be the more perfect choice.

In my opinion, gold used to be a potential investment but look at gold today, it has become quite stable and the value is not increasing much so it is only suitable as a store of value. Meanwhile, bitcoin is known as a new asset class and the potential to increase in value is still huge, so if we are looking to increase the value of our assets, we should not ignore bitcoin.

In this transfer window Mikel Arteta and his teams spent lots of money and they third many people that's why we can expect to see much better performance from this team but it seems they're going to lose a player soon.
Kieran Tierney is going to leave Arsenal soon however Arteta doesn't want to lose this Scottish player Real Sociedad wants to take this player on loan in this season but Arteta said he needs Tierney but he is going to leave soon.



https://goonernews.com/blog/kieran-tierney-arsenal-transfer-news/  

Arsenal has definitely spent a lot of money. They have also brought in a lot of good players. So we can definitely expect at least the English Premier League title from Arsenal. And I definitely think that if they can perform consistently throughout the whole season, they are definitely going to win the English Premier League title.

About a player, leaving the club, if the player actually wants to live, the club cannot make him stay. So of course, Arteta is not going to have much options if the player actually wants to leave. The best that the club can do is offer him more money to stay. And even if that doesn’t work, the club should definitely let the player go for a good amount of money. It is very possible for any player to not perform as well as he should for a club if he does not want to stay there.
550  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold , Silver Or Crypto? on: August 26, 2023, 11:22:17 AM
Many financial advisors suggest gold , silver and cryptocurrencies as the best investment for this decade! what do you think?

Gold and silver are solid coins in the same category of precious commodities. These investment instruments are as old as human history and as reliable as human history. I can always invest in them and never hesitate to do so. On the other hand, we need to unpack the concept of crypto in the topic title. I trust solid cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as much as I trust gold and silver, and I invest in them as much as I invest in gold and silver. As a result, I don't see very sharp differences between gold, silver and Bitcoin. For me, these are alternative products in the category of solid money...

Are you sure there is no difference when comparing both gold, silver and bitcoin? Can gold and silver generate huge returns like bitcoin? Do they both give you privacy or give you full control over your assets?...There are a lot of differences when comparing these two investments. There are many differences when compared, even they are not suitable to compare with each other but because they are the most valuable assets, people always like to compare to find the winner.
551  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is not going to $12k. on: August 26, 2023, 11:12:29 AM
There are certain institution that can actually support Bitcoin at the price of $20k, but anything can happen and the whales are playing with the market silently,
Institutions can be whales too, so we shouldn't expect them to support bitcoin if it drops to $20k, and maybe they are the ones looking to push bitcoin down even more.


$12k might happen but let's be more positive this time because we are already experiencing the longest bear market with cryptomarket.

If we look at the 4-year cycle of the market, we still have a long way to go, we are only 2/3 of the way there.

What's the reason to panic right now?

I really want to know the thoughts of those who believe bitcoin will drop to $12k, because I can't think of any reason.

I see the price  holding to the price of $26k, this is a good sign that the support is stronger that the seller.

When bitcoin was trading at 30k for a long time, and if I remember correctly, bitcoin was sideways for almost 8 weeks before falling, and many people thought the same as you. People believed that $30k would be unbreakable but eventually, bitcoin dropped to $26,000. We can be optimistic not to be subjective with the current market situation.
552  Economy / Economics / Re: I guess now is the time to get ready. on: August 25, 2023, 04:47:10 AM
Since no one can tell the real truth about the future but can predict the future and some of these predictions don't come through, so now am beginning to wonder what if in future Bitcoin increase to a price that no one can afford, like the minimum rate to invest in Bitcoin is a $50k how can the common people get to invest in bitcoin? These days we have a lot of cars and houses and other thing that the common (poor) people can't buy except the rich people, I believe that if it end up like this that's when the governments will invest in it and also allow the citizens to make good use of it.


No matter how high the price of Bitcoin will be, I always believe the people can afford to buy Bitcoin, not a whole but the fraction of it.  Bitcoin as we all know is divisible and also known to have a unit of satoshi just like cent to the dollar.

Unlike cars, and houses that do not function if bought by parts, Bitcoin can be bought by decimal and function the same as Bitcoin where you can easily make a transaction out of it.  

Just like gold, everyone will be able to buy it in the smallest unit, so no matter how high the price of bitcoin is, anyone can buy it. But the question is, is there any benefit to buying at that time? I mean when the price of bitcoin gets too high and will saturate like gold then buying at that time is like buying gold, there won't be too much profit.


Well, I guess now is the appropriate time to invest and hold so when that time comes those who didn't invest earlier will suffer for it.

You have been late in reminding people about accumulating Bitcoin.  There have been lots of reminders being published here for years now about holding BTC and the possible surge of the Bitcoin price in the future.

I don't think OP's reminder is late as there are still a lot of new people entering the market every day and a lot of people who haven't bought bitcoin yet. So now is still a good time to get started with bitcoin for those who don't already own it.
553  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: August 25, 2023, 04:23:49 AM
For Russian and Ukraine war world economy wavering. Because Russia and USA Prohibition each other. As a result business are also restricted with them. And for this restriction others countries are could not  trade with others so big impact creating on economy in worldwide. Ukrain is big country for Wheat production. But they could not export that property so there creating big crisis worldwide. And also Russia is big exporter for gas but now many country could not buy it for restriction. So i think for Russian and Ukraine war directly and indirectly The world economy is suffering there has no doubt.
The whole world economy is going through problems because of the war between the two countries. As far as we know, Ukraine is far ahead in wheat production. Until the war between the two countries is stopped, the import or export of anything from the two countries will have to be done with great risk. But this way  If it continues, it will cause a lot of problems for the people of all the countries, the prices of all the daily necessities will increase a lot.

If this is just a war between Russia and Ukraine, the effects on the world economy will not be too great. But the war is no longer between the two countries, but between the US-led NATO and Russia. This is a war between the two most powerful forces in the world, so it will have a lot of influence and can cause more negative effects if not prevented soon.

And to be honest, I don't see any signs that the war will stop anytime soon because neither the US nor Russia have achieved their goals. We should prepare ourselves more as the war continues to drag on and may become more severe.
554  Economy / Economics / Re: Which problem will you choose to solve? on: August 25, 2023, 04:17:51 AM
Rich people and poor people have different problems, the main problem that is most commonly faced by poor people is finance, they work to support their families so they can eat three times a day. Poor people only think about their fate and that of their families so they can eat and sleep well. While the rich have broader problems that have a relationship with the poor in terms of salary payment problems. The rich also don't only think about their fate, but there are tens or hundreds of poor people's fate that they have to think about if their business is not running effectively.

I will choose to solve the problems of the rich, not because I don't care about the fate of the poor, but when the problems of the rich are resolved, indirectly the problems of the poor are also solved.


You have an interesting perspective on the problem of the rich and the poor. It can be said that the problem of the poor completely depends on the rich, so as long as the rich can solve their problems, the poor will also partly solve their problems. Like what happens in times of crisis when companies and businesses file for bankruptcy, leading to widespread unemployment and it's a poor man's problem. And to solve this problem, we need new businesses, startups, and that's a problem that needs to be solved by the rich.

Although I used to think that before the bull season really arrived, we would have another dump waiting for us. But I believe there will be no new bottom for bitcoin, we already have the low for this bear season, and that was the $15k set last year.

Recently, there has been a lot of speculation about bitcoin dropping to 12k$-8k$ before the bull season arrives and I stumbled across this article. I want to know what you guys think and why you believe bitcoin will not drop to 12k$.

Personally, I also don't believe bitcoin will drop below $15k. And I think we have a chance to buy cheap and don't miss it.

Quote
Bitcoin is not Going to $12k 🚨

Here is why :

- 93% of all Bitcoin has now been mined.
- World's largest asset manager Blackrock files for Bitcoin spot ETF
- Mysterious wallet accumulated $3 Billion worth $BTC In just 3 months
- Europe gets its first Spot Bitcoin  ETF
- Only 6.3% Of Total Bitcoin Supply Left On Exchanges
- Bitcoin Halving in just 8 months
- Bitcoin supply shock inevitable

This could be the Final Shakeout/Manupulation before the real Bull Run begins. Next 2-3 months are going to be Important!

Don't miss the second chance. Act smart

Bellingham is just an amazing transfer for Real Madrid. I think he is worth every penny of 103 million euros fee. I don't even know why Liverpool weren't more insistent on signing him. Their first offer wasn't good enough and they didn't even increase it more. They offered Caicedo more than 110 million euros for example. Isn't Bellingham worth paying that much more than Caicedo? I think he definitely is.

Anyway Bellingham has already started to perform in an impressive way. He is playing like a striker and it looks like he will make a good level of goal contribution during the season as well.

The best transfer win this summer was Jude Bellingham because regardless of the money Real Madrid paid for him, he had a perfect performance in this season and I think Bellingham is the player who can have an even better performance bad more potential in Real Madrid because of his age. In the last games I saw this player he had a perfect performance and he even got a chance to become the top scorer at the end of the season while he was a Midfielder.


Jude Bellingham is definitely worth more compared to Caicedo. And I am not trying to say that Caicedo is not a good player. Definitely is good, but Jude Bellingham is definitely better at least in my opinion.

So it makes sense that they should definitely give less money to get Caicedo than they have spent for Jude Bellingham. But the sad reality is the transfer market does not work like that. And with every player who has a little potential being more than 100 million, it is actually hard to get a player who is decent for less amount of money.
 
And if we talk about the performance of Jude Bellingham, I will also say that it was worth the money. They are definitely going to get the performance that they want out of him.
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 24, 2023, 02:23:58 AM
I am going to make it simple for everyone. After selling Robert Lewandowski, they did not have a really great striker who could actually replace him. And now they have Harry Kane, who can actually replace him successfully in my opinion. So now they should not have too many things to worry about, especially when it comes to scoring goals. They just have to think about being consistent.

If we talk about money, they just got what they tried to do back at themselves. They did not sell Robert Lewandowski for anything less than 50 million especially when they saw that Barcelona was clearly interested in him. And they also did not get Harry Kane for anything less than what Tottenham actually wanted.
Absolutely, making a definitive determination based on a single match is premature. Despite Harry Kane promising start, the season still has a lot of obstacles to overcome. Caution is warranted in light of Bayern Munich track record of inconsistency. It is accepted that Kane has potential, and his long term effects are crucial. As a result of his departure from Tottenham, there is enormous pressure to live up to club expectations and win important championships. The transformation and subsequent decline of Choupo Moting, for example, highlight how unpredictable football evaluations can be. Kane importance is highlighted by the gap left by Lewandowski, given the significant investment. It is hoped that Kane succeeds so that the high investment would not be for naught.

I saw some people comparing Harry Kane with Robert Lewandowski already. I knew that people were going to do it. But it is definitely a little too early to do that in my opinion. Yeah, he has just joined the team and he needs some time. But people are definitely quick to judge. They are comparing him with Robert Lewandowski.

I understand why you Bayern Munich fans are doing it. After all Harry's game is definitely supposed to be the replacement of Robert Lewandowski. And of course, this pressure and expectation was always going to be there for him. I also believe that he knew that when he joined the club. So there is no other option for him other than success. And of course, the club is going to want to see him perform after spending such a huge amount of money on him.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 24, 2023, 12:54:30 AM

Suryakumar Yadav is definitely one of the best right now in the whole world. And he is definitely someone who can create different shots on the spot. So he is definitely a better T-20 player in my opinion.
Not one of the best but best T-20 batter, his ranking points suggest that despite the recent decline. At one point he was way too ahead of the rest of the batter in terms of points, at least 100 points.

It implies pure domination and it hardly happens in the ranking. I might be wrong but i think only Ab de Villiers had the same margin.

That’s because he is confident, almost always. He can hit the ball in almost any direction. And that is very necessary when you are playing the shortest format of cricket. You have to score runs, does not matter how they come. And he does that very well.

The only problem is when he is not confident, he’s going to try those things less. And so he will have to be always confident in trying different shots. A player being in form is definitely relative. And if he is in form, he is definitely a scary batsman.


Big disappointment at the Caribbean Premier League. Out of the 6 matches so far, 4 got washed out. Today's match is between Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and there is a good chance that this one will also get washed out. I was looking forward to see Brandon King, Imad Wasim and Dewald Brevis in action today, but weather forecast is not that favorable. We can't blame the organizers as well. The franchise T20 league calendar is packed and they are being forced to move their schedule every now and then.
The match have begun and SKN Patriots were in trouble as they've lost 4 wickets scoring 50 runs in 7 overs. Caribbean Premier League is one among the most watched T20 league. For Jamaica Tallawahs Salman Irshad have taken 3 wickets. Ambati Rayudu who had been match changer for CSK is in Jamaica Tallawahs and in this match he had walked back without any runs.

This is definitely going to anger a lot of people. Especially the sponsors who have not gotten much exposure. And the quality of the tournament is also going to reduce. It is a big problem with cricket that it cannot be played if there is rain. But it is what it is. and in these tournaments, there are not any reserve dates. Actually, we do not see reserve dates in even ICC tournaments. So we cannot expect to see a reserve date for these matches in these tournaments.

I agree that we cannot blame the organizers. And with the current climate change, things are becoming hard to predict. It is a lot harder to predict if it is going to rain or not. I don’t weather in general has become hard to predict.

I don't think the performance of Afghanistan batsmen will be that bad. The target was not very big. They were not under too much pressure. Afghanistan's batsmen should have tried to stay at the crease. They batted like fools.
In reality Afghanistan hasn't a bad batting lineup like what kind of performance we have seen in first ODI match but for that performance credit goes to Pakistani quality fast bowler who hold them for at low score and took important wickets too quickly through his quality bowling, I think it's a clear indication for entire Asian team that how well they are prepared for upcoming event like Asia cup and World cup. I am quite sure that in current time frame no one big team has a quality bowling trio like that which has ability to bang any big team batting lineup, so it's will be a huge challenge for any team during world cup. Let just hope that no one suffered injury..

I also thought that this is not going to be a big problem for Afghanistan because the target was not very big. I thought Afghanistan might actually be able to win the match. But what Afghanistan did was really unbelievable. They got all out for only 59. They were not even able to play 20 overs. Not even a single player was able to get to even 20 runs individuality. It is definitely not a good performance from Afghanistan. I hope they will be able to perform better in the next match because if they are going to perform like this, they are definitely not going to win. The bowling lineup is good, but the batting was absolutely horrible.

Of course, this is possible because Ire Land is new but India is not a new team India has experienced in cricket. India can win this match easily and also India had Top Class batsman so, that's why everyone knows who will win this match.

I agree that India do have top class batsmen. But I don't agree with the argument that batsmen such as Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are comparable with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. And also, I am not in agreement that scoring runs against teams like Ireland should be considered as earth-shattering achievements. India hasn't won a major ICC tournament for almost a decade now. Winning against Ireland by huge margins is good, but then they need to win consistently against top teams like Australia as well.
Sky is a better T-20 player when compared to Rohit and Virat because he represents the modern era of batting and i believe everyone agrees on that. In Other formats, SKY is nowhere close to them, period.

Tilak and Kishan are too young so there is virtually no discussion. Congratulations to everyone #Chandrayaan-3



The last match between India and Ireland is currently delayed. It is not sure when the match is going to be played. In this match, Ireland must look forward to getting some revenge. Ireland should be very determined to do well in this match. Even though I am not so sure how well they will actually be able to do. Because as you say it is definitely Ireland versus India. So the performance is obviously going to be better from India.

Suryakumar Yadav is definitely one of the best right now in the whole world. And he is definitely someone who can create different shots on the spot. So he is definitely a better T-20 player in my opinion.
