It was a great opportunity for England to level the series at 2-2. They did well in the first two days, when they had India at 177/7 against England's first innings total of 353. At this point, I thought that England could have got a lead of at least 120-150. But then the partnership between Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav took the match away from them. Even after Kuldeep got out, Akash Deep added 40 valuable runs for the 9th wicket along with Jurel. And the England captain made the mistake by under-utilizing the pacers (James Anderson and Ollie Robinson).

In just 24 hours from being on the verge of collapse the Indian team changed the situation and is now slowly inching towards another victory. To an extent Dhruv Jurel and Kuldeep Yadav made this happen. Jurel 90 runs to the scoreboard and Yadav's contribution through bat and taking 4 wickets change the match. England had a good opportunity to win the 4th test but poor batting is the reason they are in this situation.

All because of Dhruv Jurel the Indian team was able to make a comeback. Kuldeep also played an important part wherein he could stick on the nonstriker end with Jurel. I felt he could get his first test 100 but Jurel got out at 90 but was able to reduce the trail to 46 runs today. England has now a lead of 46 runs and they will try to add another 330 runs to get to a comfortable position. The pitch is now favoring the spinners as both Bashir and Hartley took the highest number of wickets. Bashir got his first fifer in test cricket which is an achievement for a young bowler like him.

Dhruv Jurel played well and yes he was unsuccessful in getting his first 100 in test cricket. The other thing that I noticed is that the wicket was very effective for spinners as the new guy Bashir was able to get 4 wickets. India started very well as Ashwin got all the important batters early on in the game and finished the second innings with a fifer. Kuldeep again bowled very well, he took 4 wickets and not to forget he was the one supporting Jurel when India needed to chase those runs. The lead is not so big and last when I saw India needed 155 runs to win the fourth test. Two days are still left but Indian batter have to take all their time to chase those runs and win the series.

We will have the result by tomorrow for sure, especially in the 2 sessions.

India has to start with caution and aggression in the morning and let them go out of their box which is enough to win the match and I feel definitely the series in the hands now even though we still need 150 odd runs cause the wickets in hand is 10.

The lead is of only 152 runs and either India will be able to chase it or lose all its wickets. The way both Indian openers played yesterday it looked like India should get those runs. But, the early morning conditions are different to the end of day condition. Therefore I agree with you that first 15 overs they need to play cautiously. If the are able to bat without losing any wickets then India would be able to win the match and the series.

It looks like that the price is again going in the upward direction. It has been up for the past few days above the 3,k price point. Mostly due to the upcoming network upgrade and due to the possibility of an ETF approval. Whatever happens it looks to be good for everyone who wanted the price of Ethereum to go beyond three thousand.

Bairstow is batting well in the second innings he was looking good in the first innings until he got lbw by Ashwin. Another good knock by Crawley and this time he got his half century. Ashwin was good enough to take 3 wickets after lunch which helped India in stopping those runs. At present the England team has a lead of 153 runs they will be trying to add another 250 runs to take the lead to 400 runs.

Australia managed to sweep the series against the home team of New Zealand. Mitchell Marsh was declared as the man of the Series for his knocks in the first 2 T20s while also captaining the side to victory in the crucial and the only close contested game of first T20. Both the teams will be facing off each other in Tests next.

They are playing far better than expected. I never thought that they would clean sweep a series that they are not playing at home. Although the condition are somewhat similar to what they have at home. Being a 10 overs game today match became very competitive as per batting. The team that can bat well could have won the match. Here Australia not only batted well but thier bowlers were able to defend a small target.

And you, what do you think, please share your views:
  • Do you think we have reached the crypto era?
  • You think crypto is the future, or crypto is the present?
  • If crypto is the future, when will that future come?

1. I do not think that the crypto era has started as only a handful of countries and their citizens are in the cryptocurrencies. It will take another 10 years time for the crypto era to start and grow.

2. Yes, it is the future and the way things are changing in the present helps the crypto adoption in the future.
3. I cannot envision the future but I can say we will see a gradual increase in crypto adoption and lot more companies will be venturing into the crypto sphere for their own benefits.

Looks like Ethereum is again back and above $3k today as Bitcoin price spiked once again. It went to $3047 and now is hovering around the price point of $3037 which is a good sign as whenever it breaks the 3k price point it gets dragged below very soon. I think we might see another price spike of Ethereum in the next few days where it might break the $3100 price mark.

The first 10 or 15 overs will be crucial for the Indian batters due to the new ball and after that things will get normalize. Again Rohit failed to give a good start to the Indian batting. Jaiswal is taking all the heat at the moment while Gill is busy relaxing. If Ravindra Jadeja had not taken the wicket of Robinson then things would have been quite different for India now. Jaiswal needs 139 runs to get to his 1000 runs in test cricket, I am sure he knows that and he will try to get those runs.
England managed to add only 51 runs on the second day. India didn't get off to a good start in batting, early Rohit Sharma caught Foakes off James Anderson. Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put on 82 runs in the second wicket partnership before Shubman Gill was trapped lbw by Shoaib Bashir. Rajat Patidar did not last long on the pitch. Jadeja and Jaiswal are batting in a fourth wicket partnership. India team's current score is 123/3. To take India's lead run need to have a big partnership. Yashasvi Jaiswal has already hit his third career half-century, just 87 runs away from a thousand runs. I hope to enter the 1000-run club in this Test.
India didn't get off to a good start, though, as their wickets fell, and they couldn't add much to their runs. Although they have already lost 4 wickets and scored only 131 runs, India's batting performance today is very poor to say the least. But Yashasvi Jaiswal has managed to score a brilliant half-century, and his batting performance will depend on how much India can score in today's match. If the partnership of Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal can sustain then it will be possible to fulfill the target given by England and if the pair does not survive then it seems that the Indian team will not be able to give a lead in today's match. Yashasvi Jaiswal will surely touch the 1000 run club in today's match as he will surely achieve this goal as he continues to bat brilliantly, and we can hope that he will definitely achieve this goal today.

Very bad start for India they lost their captain very early in the game. Then the middle order collapsed starting with Shubhman Gill to Jadeja. Again the pressure to get runs have come down to the new comers of this team. Patidar again failed to get runs and this will not go well with the team management. India have lost 4 wicket but the good thing is that Jaiswal is still batting and Sarfaraz Khan has joined him.

There was a short bull run when Bitcoin suddenly went to $52k and after that, it was trading sideways. Yesterday Bitcoin went down to $50k and the bearish market has started with it. I read a few articles and they said that Bitcoin will go further down due to profit booking. In general, before the halving Bitcoin goes through a major correction which everyone expected to happen this year. Because of Bitcoin's dominance altcoins are in red and as long as it stays in red altcoins will shed their new gain in the small bull run.
632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 24, 2024, 04:44:07 AM
England was on the first day 112 for 5 wickets and from there they made 346 runs after losing 7 wickets. This shows how well Root and Robinson have been playing from the first day to the second day. They have already created the highest-run partnership for the 8th wicket and are still going strong. Indian bowling unit is trying their level best to break this partnership but they are not being effective. India is missing Bumrah as he possesses the ability to break such partnerships. 
633  Local / India / Re: India cricket Discussion and predictions [self-mod] on: February 24, 2024, 04:28:37 AM
Ollie Robinson got his first 50 in test cricket as he has been batting well in the lower position. Root has already got his century and this partnership is now nearing 100 runs. Both Shiraj and Akash are not being as effective as they were on the first day. I think Rohit should bring in the spinners as the pitch is not favoring the pace of bowling. I have a feeling that Robinson could get to his first test century if he keeps on batting in the same manner. England is going to get above 400 runs if these two guys keep on batting today.

Bitcoin got dumped last night and that is why the market is in red. I thought Ethereum might get hit hard because of Bitcoin's price but it did not. It is still above the $2.9 price point which is a good sign. I feel that we might again see a short rally in the market and if that happens then Ethereum will go beyond $3k and will hold the price point for quite a long session. Earlier it did go above the $3 mark twice in a difference of a few days but then got dragged below that price point.

Anything in the meme sphere is not going to be a good investment and as expected before the bull run new projects have started coming up. Who knows whether this meme coin is being shilled by a scammer or it is a marketing strategy? Unless a meme coin gets hyped by some big influencer it won't generate any profit for its investors. It is better to always check how much a shit coin is trending on social media.

1. There are few subreddits that have their own crypto that are being traded in the market. This news of Reddit holding crypto doesn't shock me.
2. Yeah, there is a possibility.
3. I cannot comment anything about its benefits as these companies don't directly invest in cryptocurrency they use intermediaries to invest in them.

As of now, he is only the bowler who was able to get wickets and now Bairstowe with Root are slowly forming a partnership. Out of these two Jonny Bairstow is batting well they both have a 43-run partnership. Ashwin anna came to the rescue and broke this partnership by taking the wicket of Bairstow. Indian bowlers are doing great in the first session on day 1. England have now lost 4 wickets and have scored only 111 runs so far. What will happen after lunch would be interesting to watch.

Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow tried to form a strong partnership but they were broken by Ravichandran Ashwin. You see the England team's 111 runs fell by four wickets but it is now 5 wickets for 112 runs. India's young player Akashdeep may have made his debut today and he has already made a splash in the debut match as he has already taken three wickets to England's five wickets.

The lunch break is underway in the first innings of the fourth Test match between England and India. England have lost five wickets before the lunch break so I don't know how long they will be able to stay at the crease after the lunch break. Indian spin bowlers dominated the second test match and the third test match but in today's match we saw the dominance of a fast medium bowler from the start.

Half of the team is out and looks like before tean they will lose all thier wickets. Indian bowling attack without Bhumrah has been so far doing great. The pitch was looking good for batting earlier now it is looking good for spinners. Ben Stokes got out because the ball stayed very low. Not a good sign when India comes to bat.
638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2024, 05:51:44 AM
What a dream debut for Akashdeep. Dude is spitting fire and already claimed a 3-for + 1 no ball wicket of Crawley.

I was a bit worried about the debutant and thought England might take him for a ride and feast on him but so far mighty impressed. 6 overs spell for him already but hope he can pull the cart for an extra 2 more overs.

As of now, he is only the bowler who was able to get wickets and now Bairstowe with Root are slowly forming a partnership. Out of these two Jonny Bairstow is batting well they both have a 43-run partnership. Ashwin anna came to the rescue and broke this partnership by taking the wicket of Bairstow.

Again yesterday Ethereum broke the price point of $3k for a brief period and then the profit booking started. Whenever it reaches the $3020 mark it gets dragged down after some time. It is facing strong resistance at that price point and if it breaks it then it will stay above $3k for a long time. In the meantime, BNB price manipulation keeps driving the market with Bitcoin price still trading sideways while its dominance is still above 51%. I feel we might see another spike in the price of Bitcoin soon and before the halving.
640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2024, 05:07:03 AM
Ben Duckett & Zak Crawley are batting in the opening partnership in the first innings of the fourth Test. Right now England team score 46/0, 9 overs. Akash Deep is the new face in today's match. India have made four debutants in this series so far, Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfraz Khan and Akash Deep. As Bumrah is not in this match, England can take control of India's fast bowlers. India lost the first Test but won the second and third Tests very easily. jaisawal has been in great form in this Test series, hope he will enter the 1000-run club in the fourth Test. If India can maintain its performance like the previous two matches, then India can secure the series win in the fourth Test. Anyway, let's keep the focus on the fourth Test starts today, whether it creates any drama.

It is rare to see a debutant playing brilliantly in test cricket, it more rare to see someone debuting in test cricket. Akash Deep was the privileged one today just like Sarfaraz Khan in the previous test match. He replaced Bhumrah and everyone was speculating whether India could play without Bhumrah in this crucial test match. Looks like this bowler is here to get a permanent seat on the test team. He got his first wicket in the form of Duckett, who was termed as a danger batter, now he got back to back two more wickets. In total, he has got three wickets in his debut and he might as well get a fifer today.
