What the heck is happening on AUSvIND, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood literally destroyed Indian second innings. India at 36/9, with a lead of 89 runs and none of batsmen crossed single digit. A lowest test score by India. Do you agree pathetic & worst ever batting display by Indian team?

India on the verge of creating another history of lowest score in test cricket. India will become the fifth nation and would share the position with South Africa.

This pitch has deteoriated completely, I am sure Australian batsmen will struggle more when they come to bat.
Maybe today Indian fans might miss captain cool, but it was unfortunate and team India was never ready for that such kind of revenge by OZ pacers. Ofcourse the team India is not such bad to score such worst score but still its not a lucky day for them so it caused to be to down for the OZ.

From now even though the wicket is harder to bat still OZ has 99% chance to win this match because they knows what total need to be chased down to take this victory.

India is already down to the tail, and I would consider Ravichandran Ashwin as a tail-ender rather than lower-order batsman.
What ever be the case Ravichandran Ashwin has four centuries and he has a much better batting average than a common lower order batsman, i expected India to fold before 250 runs and that was achieved but i did not expect Australia to struggle like this which is really disappointing as i expected the top order to bat well rather they were too defensive and lost the wickets.
Ashwin was in the top all-rounder list of international test ranking for a very long time which clearly shows that his batting ability in long format but he is still not a regular batsman to score a century, he can make some good contribution of 30+ runs at crucial times. I think Nathon Lyon vs Ashwin made the real difference, so if AUS wants to win this match then Lyon needs to perform well on the current innings.
563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC reached another ATH, what about ETH? on: December 18, 2020, 07:07:38 PM
If bitcoin made a new All Time High record now in the crypto market, do you think  Ethereum will also follow and break it's ATH last year January 2018 which is more than $1000?

We have always observed that if bitcoin rises in value, most altcoins follow as well. Even now that bitcoin has reached another ATH, altcoins are also increasing and now, market is in green celebrating the bitcoins new record.
Surely ethereum also capable of reaching new all time high if the trend keep follows in my opinion it is not possible in 2020 so probably im 2021 but until that the trend remains the same?

Here the total supply comes into play a major role in the price of each ethereum and I hope ethereum 2.0 may solve this issue and will take the prices to reach the next level.

As expected that if India lose early wicket at start of the day they will end up quickly and happened the same way. But the way India wrapped up OZ for just 191 is highly commendable and Ashwin and Yadav were superb in their spells. Unfortunately, bad start again for Shaw and losing a early wicket this time as well. But good thing is that India has a lead of now 62 runs and somewhere 300+ target if set for OZ then would be difficult for them in the 4th innings.

Target of 300 plus will be too tough for the Indian batsmen. I think 250 should be enough, and for that India need to make total of 190-200 in the second innings. Any addition after this will increase their probability of winning. Ashwin bowled really well during the first innings. So we can expect him to perform even better, when Australia comes to bat next. But anything can happen, as Starc and Cummins are in excellent form.
India lead by 63 runs, hopefully India consolidates its position on day 3 anyway, 300 lead I will do wonders on this pitch. Ashwin changed his bowling style for this tour so he could get more spin and make use of the extra bounce. Up until now, It's working out appropriately and amazing us being the principle wicket takers, overall on a great bowling day for India.
Probably change in the bowling action is a reason why OZ batsmen can't judge the balls which may be overcome by them in the next inning if staffs have done proper analysis about the bowling style and which kind of action leads to which balls. I am not sure that India can bat throughout the day if they lose one or two wickets in the first 15 overs itself because it will bring extra pressure and can collapse the total batting lineup.

Maybe the second innings can turn out to be high score innings on both sides because this is exactly what happened in the practice match between AUS A vs IND and ended up in a draw. Ashwin spells will be very crucial in the last innings and if the balls still find gripping then India will be over the AUS even in the chase of 250+ runs. The important thing is India needs to face more balls without losing many wickets in the first 10 to 15 overs of day 3 first session.

Exhuisite performance by Indian bowlers. I thought only pacers would be the hero on this tour but Ravichandran Ashwin had some different plans today. I am pretty happy to see the classic spinners Era coming back gone are those days of Unorthodox mystery spinner who worked for just a couple of tours. If India can bowl out Australia under 200 and then can put up another 250 on the board I am pretty sure this would become an easy game for India. I was abusing Indian batsmen for batting so naively looks like Australians are much more surprised at their own home grounds. Even the might Smith couldn't do a thing. Thankfully opened his account otherwise he would have been named the Australian Prithvi Shaw.  Grin
I only shouted MC, BC on Prithvi Shaw when he dropped Marnus.

Very happy for Ashwin, he was game changer for India. I hope he play next game as well, hoping because he has a habit of getting injured or going down the hill after every series opener despite performing well.

For now India need to face some tough time,  11 8 overs are left, tricky period under the lights.

Australia might be looking for at least 2 wickets tonight. India would be very happy if they lose only 1 wicket or may be wicketless.
Alright as you wished India completed day 2 with the loss of only 1 wicket and got the lead of 62 runs, Prithvi Shaw failed again which clearly shows why experience is more important in a red ball cricket. But from on both teams need to play extremely well to win this match because it is not possible to draw this match from here so either a win or a loss for each team to face at the end of this match.

India is just 17 runs away from 250, and they still have 4 wickets in hand. It won't be that hard for them to get to a total above 300. But a lot will depend on the 7th wicket partnership between Ashwin and Saha. Till now, both of them looked very confident. The pitch is very supportive of pace bowling, and if they get to 250-300, then the advantage will be with the Indians.
When the new ball was taken by Australia even the established players were finding it difficult to cope up with the swing and having judgement issues and hence i thought Australia will wrap up the Indian batting line up before the end of the day but Saha and Ashwin was able to hold their wickets even though Saha was leaving the ball dangerously close to the stumps and one more wicket and the tail is exposed.
Things didn't go in the way as I predicted, the last four wickets went for just 11 runs and its normal at the beginning of each day.Well, Indian bowlers is striking back the OZ batting line up and Bumbrah got both openers in his early spells which might give enough confidence for the remaining bowlers to do the same.

At the end of day 2's first session, Aus scored 35/2 which is trails by 209 runs.

^^^^ The real reason is the inability of the PCB to pay decent salary to members of the national team. And when the players try to earn by participating in various franchise T20 leagues, the PCB creates obstacles for them. This in turn makes the player frustrated and ultimately it results in public spats between the players and the management. Anyway, with the success of the PSL, I hope that now the PCB will be able to pay good salary to the contracted players.
The ongoing circus at PCB board needs to stop. Literally PCB destroying another career of players at incredible speed, such a great left handed bowlers he is. It's unfortunate he decided to retire from International Cricket, PCB must address his concern immediately.
PCB is one of most shit boards in world as they done too many shit things to destroy many talented players just for their own sack personal likes and delikes biggest issue and worst thing we have no merit system for youths mostly youthes selected just for bribes and personal links very few achieved highest ranks just with their talent and Muhammad Aamir was also one of these guys but sadly he done few mistakes and these cost him very badly.
Politics inside sports is really a great danger for the future of their country's sports in the international stage and this is exactly what is happening with PCB for a very long time. Pakistan country got lot of talent which can make them to be the best team in cricket world but over the past decade the quality of players produced were very low and made them to be on the lower side team. Don't think anything is going to be changed from this retirement at least if there are talents they could try to join into the cricket boards of other countries.

It's becoming a frustrating issue when new project you have interest in have no mobile wallet, for over a year and half now I've waited for a project to built their mobile wallet but nothing so far, what are developers thinking? We are in an era where by mobility is the best choice for most people, who still sits in from on a computer just to send coins ? You also have to keep syncing the coin blockchain too to stay updated.

Don't blame people for not investing when you aren't making things easier for them, mobile users are much more than PC users, dear developers start considering mobile wallet pls
I don't really think that people give importance to the wallet which was created by the team itself because people want their coins to be listed on reputed multi coin supported wallet if they really love to send and receive their coins from their mobile devices.

And that could be also a reason why people are creating tokens instead of coins so they don't need separate blockchain, they just simply run their project over existing blockchain like ethereum, Tron,etc and also investors can simply add their tokens into their mobile wallets.

If you are a regular Twitter user and happen to follow a bunch of influencers or investors, there are high chances that you will have gone through some of the tweets claiming someone has borrowed a loan from bank to just invest into crypto. If not yet, check it here. Well, this is one really  interesting topic so I though why not discuss here.

What do you think of taking loan(s) to invest in crypto? What's your input? Have any of you done this already? Isn't this crazy?
Maybe you are not aware of it but this topic has been already discussed million times in bctalk.

Anyway this is the right time to discuss about this again because its just common for someone to get loans or borrow money from someone to invest on cryptocurrency at the time of immediate spike but prices are likely to take a correction or dump after huge increase so don't invest right now unless it is your money.
572  Economy / Economics / Re: Consumer Inflation Still Nowhere to be Found on: December 17, 2020, 05:43:35 PM
US Wholesale prices are up just 0.1% in November, 0.3% in October and 0.4% in September, trending towards deceleration over this period.  Overall, wholesale prices are up just 0.8% from a year ago, which is far below the Fed's target annual inflation rate of 2% and despite the unprecedented amount of money creation during the pandemic. 

The core inflation rate, which excludes volatile food and energy costs as a means of measuring attempting to more accurately measure the inflation rate that isn't subject to short term volatility, is up 1.4% in the past 12 months.  (It seems the more volatile segments of are weighing down overall inflation currently.)

Source:  https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/US-wholesale-prices-up-0-1-in-November-food-and-15794160.php
I believe the real inflation is yet to begin on the US like countries because they injected a huge amount of money into their economy to reduce the immediate effect of a pandemic on their economical crisis so there wasn't much affect on the prices but still unemployment reached an all-time high, the stock market was crashed multiple times. Inflation already striking a lot of countries and the US is not too far from getting into such effects.

I am sceptical about whether India can score 300 runs. As long as Rahane and Kohli were at the crease, the Indian team had confidence. I don't think India will lose all their wickets in 20 overs tomorrow. India's batsmen could not succeed, if the Indian bowlers do not succeed, India will lose the match badly.
We can't predict anything in the first day itself, even though India's start was really bad they didn't bowl out on the first day itself and Kohli's runout was very unfortunate but still, India managed to score 233 for the loss of 6 wickets. If they could post another 60+ run before they bowled out India then it is really a good battle from India after their terrible opening.

As I predicted Selectors gave equal importance to the skill as well as experienced players which could give balance to the team whenever it is needed.

The injury Cameron Green sustained was scary on the spot and hopefully he will pass the concussion test and make his debut as he is a promising allrounder for Australia.

Today there was confirmation from Tim Paine regarding Cameron Green. He said that Green has passed his fitness test and will be included in the playing XI against India for the pink ball test. He is just 21 years old, and I have a feeling that he has the capability to become a regular in the national squad. Also, the latest from the Indian camp is that Shaw, Saha, Umesh and Ashwin may be included in the playing XI.
I would like to see Saha at least in the test team as a regular player because he is capable batsmen and also he upgraded his wicket-keeping abilities in the past years so if get a chance to play in this series then he should post his best performance to seal a spot in test team because the other keeper is Pant, we all know how his batting style has been even though he is scoring and hitting well still doesn't have enough patience to play long innings.

This is a good tutorial and especially for the crypto enthusiasts who want to hunt down the scammers and let's create a scam free crypto space.

But in my opinion, taking the down video down by continuously reposting it is useless because the scammer is going to create a new video from another hacked channel and start the same stream in the next few minutes.

So it's better to understand how to identify these scam giveaway will be much more effective.

Well, a few more steps we can add to this guide is to :

1. Check out the live chat option, on scam giveaways, it will be disabled.

2. Check the channel info on which the stream is going live, for sure it will be from a hacked channel so by reading info we can get the idea that it is a hacked channel or not.

3. Look at the previous contents in that channel, if it doesn't have any other content than this giveaway then click report as a scam.

I really have a big question between the settlement of USDT TRC20 and Monero. I feel that using USDT is still stable and better than XMR, since the price is not volatile and transactions always have fee of 0.

USDT - TRC20 has great block handling speed and in addition it is fee free in transactions. As for using XMR, we run the risk of having to sell off after buying or incurring high transaction fees. So why should we choose XMR and celebrate it like that? Does a privacy coin have a special function than Tether? Undecided
Well, privacy really matters in cryptocurrencies and especially people who want to get subscriptions for porn-related services will have privacy as more priority over the transaction fees. Even bitcoin is not completely anonymous so that is the reason having Moenro like privacy coin is more welcomed by the pornhub users.

Tron-based USDT is actually faster with no fees but tether is completely centralized so it's like banks know that for what you are actually using those funds which most people don't want to happen.

You are right. At this moment changing the captain will totally affect the dressing room atmosphere. But this is the right time to change the captaincy. Rohit Sharma is a successful captain in T20 matches, this is what we saw in IPL. So for the T20 format, Rohit Sharma is tested as a captain to see if he is suitable for the captaincy in an international match. We have seen in many cricket teams around the world different captains for 3 formats.
There are teams that normally have different captains for different cricket formats but it is not a common practice in the Indian cricket board. India is already playing well under Kohli's captaincy right then why there is a need for a change now? At least it is better to give time until the next WorldCup for Kohli to prove his captaincy skills before criticizing and talking about changing capitans.

My Account was hacked and hacker change all my email and Phone Number. Has anyone faced same problem please reply in post. If someone has recovered hacked account please reply with information.
Social engineering is the most common method used by scammers to steal your authentication codes and get access to your account, so it is important to be aware all the time while using the internet and also receiving emails from unknown or clone of official websites.

OTP on your mobile number is less secured compared to authenticator apps like Google authenticator, Authy because they are running based on TOTP which keeps changing the codes for every few seconds.

Another way is to infect your device with malware and get access to these apps or recovery codes.

West Indies cricket board doesn't even have money to pay for their current players which is the major reason why they like to play other leagues than international matches. WI was the best team in test match as well but its been a long time ago, now alao they got skills but not enough experienced players to keep patience in a five day game.

If you look at the central contracts from the WICB, you can see that they are not that bad. But obviously WICB can't compete with the T20 franchises who are ready to dish out millions of USD for the top players such as Pollard, Fletcher and Pooran. And unlike the BCCI, they don't have the power to ban their players from foreign T20 leagues. If they do so, then the players will simply retire from international cricket and solely concentrate on franchise leagues.
We can't compare the payout from BCCI with other cricket boards but other boards allowing their players to play on other leagues as well which is good for the individual future and which gave life for many players to move to other international teams as well. Practice match between Aus A and IND ends in a draw but I expected a result when Indian bowlers did good in the earlier overs but they failed to take wickets later.
