It is impossible for Kohli to control aggression, if middle order fails then you should have a some one who can take control of the the game at lower order, unfortunately India has been facing that problem for a long time now.
I am impressed with the aggressive approach of Kohli in the T20 as he was not the best T20 captain as we have seen him struggle during IPL but in this series against New Zealand he was able to dominate and win close matches but in the ODI he was not able to continue that success and it is because India is not playing many ODI in recent months and if they find the grove they will start performing well.
Now playing in all three formats with same captain is also not good idea BCCI need to think about this and give some relief as bring Sharma is replacement for any one format ODI or Twenty/20 because this could be good for Kohli if they want to stay with him for long time because  he is also human not machine suddenly change of fortune is not new but still time to consider few things.

I do not think captaincy is a issue here. Kohli is capable of captaining in all the tree formats, it is the newbie in the team that are not consistent enough. People do not get chance to play for India and those who get do not value it.

Highly rated Prithvi Shaw is a big failure in one day format,  he might be good to play for the test.

He is leading the team so he should be more responsible than other players,off course he is naturally aggressive run scoring machine but when the team needs he also should adapt for that situation.Iyer and Rahul played rally well in t20i but now the format chances so they also should be careful while playing,more they hold wickets then they have better chance to chase down any totals.

I am agreeing with what you said but, controlling someone who is naturally aggressive would mean ending what he is known for and the reason for him to be the best.

I think it is good for the team as the captain is aggressive.

My Friend traded several times small amounts with said "investor" and all went without a hitch, but the latest trade worth 5K she did not pay up and just blocked all contacts attempts.
So Just as a warning to the community, be very aware of this Alicia from Mexico!!

My friend lost 5K including my 600€.

Jan/ Finland

After scamming you and your friend do you think this individual will retain the same name and location. I doubt it is her real name. 

Why on earth did you believe a stranger to take control of your investment. Your loss is because you belived in a stranger, never trust a stranger and always invest by yourself.

If this how India plans to play the ODI's then this series will be a whitewash. Good come back and brilliantly played by Newzealand. Today's match shows not only they are good in batting but they have very good bowlers.
This is pay back time for India, New Zealand is playing like ODI world champions even though they got completely dominated in the T20 and they should worry about the upcoming world cup with performance like these but it is great to see that New Zealand dominated India completely in the ODI series and it would be great if they white wash India as a revenge for their loss in T20.
Definitely India is more stronger team along with inform batsmen but India decided to try this series with newbie players to get some expereince but it doesn't go well as expected.Kohli need to control aggression and need to hold his wicket for other players to play well.

Saini and Jadeja played really well,am glad that I had chance to watch that match on television.Both team has weaker middle order batsmen which should be resolved sooner for better results in the future.

I don’t believe it’ll be easy convincing Australia and England to come and play in Pakistan because if they do agree to play there then they’ll hurt BCCI feelings, and even their own players will not want to risk their lives hence at max they may send a rookie team to play out there. Also team India will never travel to Pakistan because India believes that Pakistan is behind terror attacks in it’s country, hence you’ll can forget seeing team India ever playing in Pakistan.

So its the monopoly of the big three and they will make decision keeping the interest of the each other.   Wink  I always said this many times but none agree to me. Now i am happy to see other sharing the same point of view of  Big three influence on cricket.



Yes, as I have written above India will not play in Pakistan because of the political issue.

Or they are afraid to lose from Pakistan  ?

It is not a war you dumb!! It is only a game, there is nothing to be afraid of..  Influence comes with money. Apart from India, Australia and England which other cricket playing nation is generating revenue for ICC.

India is a different nation now and the government of India has a completely different approach towards Pakistan. BCCI cannot do anything without the governments permission.



6226  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [ALERT] There is a Scam Happening Right Now on YouTube - Fake Exodus wallet Hack on: February 08, 2020, 01:21:59 PM
These kind of scams are not new in YouTube. Such scams have been happening from 2018 and that was another reason why YouTube had suddenly closed all crypto based channel and after few hours reactivated them.

Basically scammers will approach a channel that has a subscriber base of more than 100k, they will offer the owner to join there revenue channel to increase their revenue using Google Adsense. They use the name of big AdSense revenue partner and create a fake website.

Now the owner of these channels are asked to input there registered email address and password used to login to their YouTube channel. Those who are intelligent will not enter it and those who do enter tend to lose their channels in couple of hours.

This how it is being done. Stay away from any crypto based offers on YouTube.

Officially they have not released a confirm date. I have been hearing about it from 2016 and it has been 4 years now nothing has changed. It would be rather risky to send your ETH to a pool where in no one knows when staking will start officially. It is better to wait than take a risk.

Anyways the price of ETH is soaring up, it is good time to HODL and book profit after few months.

I am not able to comprehend why we are discussing where the price of Bitcoin will go before the halving. Everyone knows there will be a Bull run. This is the right time to invest in Bitcoin as it is still below 10k.

^ Don't judge too early bruh. India might comeback hard in the third ODI. As far as this match is concerned, Indian middle order messed up big time. No doubt there. But it was really a thrilling match to watch at the end. When Saini was raining boundaries of Grandhomme, there was slight hope that India could win the match. But I think Jadeja should have stepped up and should have played the big shots instead waiting at the non-striker's end. But credits to NZ they won this match and the series. The newbie, Jamieson well deservingly got the MOM.

Indian team newbie Mayank Agarwal and Prithvi Shah are still struggling to get set in the batting order. Last ODI if these two guys are not able to perform then I doubt they will get another chance in the near future.

This game is slowly going out of India's hand. Iyer was my last hope and now he is out. I do not think Jadeja will be able to take control of this situation. Only tailenders left.

NZ will win the series if they win this match.

Indeed it is brilliant news, but an increase in the transaction does not mean that the price of Bitcoin will also soar up. Both are different. You can relate it to adoption as more people are now using Bitcoin as a payment system.
6233  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: **TAKE YOUR COINS OFF EXCHANGES** on: February 08, 2020, 08:13:37 AM
It is a piece of good advice and it does really helps but, it also depends upon the exchange that you are using to trade your coins or tokens.

Apart from trading nowadays big exchange provides lending and staking services, investors are using those platforms to generate passive income.

There are not many multi-cryptocurrency wallets available in the market that provide staking services.
6234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 08, 2020, 08:02:51 AM
Too many twists and turns in this match. At one point, it looked as if New Zealand would struggle to make a total of even 200. But they managed 273/8 (thanks to some fine batting by Jamieson and Taylor during the final overs). But the Indian batsmen seems to be struggling against the Kiwi bowlers, which was entirely unexpected. This is a team which is capable of chasing targets in excess of 350 with ease.


Ross Taylor is back 73 runs this match, last match 100. What an incredible batsman this guy is. This is how a middle-order batsman takes control of the match.
6235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 08, 2020, 08:00:30 AM
WOW!!!

India 101/5

Middle-order collapsed

Prithvi Shah 24
Mayank Agarwal 3
Kohli 15
Rahul 4
Jadav 9

What on earth is happening?

 Angry Angry Angry Huh Huh Huh
6236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 07, 2020, 09:29:33 AM
^^ Why not?

His economy rate is under 6 so i would say he was good enough to bowl at-least 2 overs. there are always chances that he gets the beating but when every bowler in team leaking runs then there is no harm to try part-timer, that's the real reason of keeping 6th bowling option in playing XI for starter.

Well.. there is nothing wrong in trying either him or some of the other part time bowlers for a couple of overs. But Kohli probably didn't wanted to take the risk. It was a very close match and a big over (in case the Kiwis can score 20 runs from it) can change the course of the match. Anyway, we don't know what could have happened if Kedar was given an opportunity to bowl.

India can add another bowler to the team line up. I do not think they will change the batting order in the next match.jadeja can be replaced by kedar jadav. We need to wait till tomorrow to see if there are any changes in bowling.
6237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 07, 2020, 09:23:29 AM
Why was India fined for slow over rate? They lost 80% of their fee and previous lost 40% and 20%. Is the fine only paid by the captain or the entire team?

It was because of the slow over rate.

Quote
After losing 2 back-to-back matches against NZ (one last year and this year), I am feeling that it's history repeating. Willaimson will be back in the third ODI while their team of batsmen is similar to their WC squad. India most likely will go with the same order but our opening batsmen are not good enough to sustain till the 10th over.

India needs someone like Rohit Sharma to open , unfortunately we do not have anyone. I also doubt they will change the order.
6238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction Finality on Bitcoin on: February 07, 2020, 04:24:34 AM
Most exchanges consider 3 confirmations secure enough to consider a transaction as final. This website uses 6 confirmation as an example but it perfectly shows how secure the Bitcoin network is, compared to altcoins: https://howmanyconfs.com/

I think most exchange consider 1 transaction on Bitcoin Blockchain to be consider as final. The same is applicable for wallets as after 1 confirmation you can retransfer Bitcoin to another wallet. Actually 10 confirmation are required but, 6 is considered final.
6239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Transactions on Smartwatches? on: February 07, 2020, 04:17:41 AM
I've seen many Android-powered smartwatches out there with capabilities to run apps in the same way (almost) as an ordinary smartphone would. On the other hand, we have the Apple Watch which runs its variant of the iOS system. Imagine being able to install a lightweight wallet like Electrum on a smartwatch to send/receive Bitcoin transactions. After all, most of these (if not all) smartwatches have Wi-Fi capabilities, Bluetooth, and more. By integrating Bitcoin wallets into smartwatches, you can truly send/receive transactions anywhere with ease. I'm sure not if this is possible yet (as I don't own a smartwatch). But if a developer decides to create Bitcoin wallets for smartwatches, I'll be a big hit within the mainstream world.

What are your thoughts? Is something like this practical/secure? Or is it better to continue using smartphones for Bitcoin transactions? Huh

In 2019 there was an ICO related to the same concept. The startup was called crypto watch. They had planned to raise 6000ETH. Unfortunately it was a failure. The concept is not knew but will have lot of security concern. If a startup is able to address those concern then I think people will invest.

In 2nd semifinal of  U19 World Cup between NZ and Bangladesh, Bangladesh won it very easily chasing a score of 212 , they reached it in 44.1 balls and 6 wickets to spare . Now on Sunday we have a World Cup final between India and Bangladesh and would be a real contest to watch . India might just a little stronger then Bangladesh but on that day being a final pressure would be totally different .

I always though New Zealand were a better team than the Bangladesh and I also lot a bet today.  Cry
Bangladesh play very well and never let Newzealand settled in the match. Would they be able to keep the same performance level in the finals. I doubt on this. Final of a Would cup is a pressure and India is much better & experienced team. But if you bet on Bangladesh, you will get better odds but the risk will be high.
I am not expecting any resistance from Bangladesh as India is much superior in all fields they will win this easily but if Bangladesh have good day then may be we will able to have some good match but until now for me its all about India as all boys giving very good performance in field bowling and batting this is perfect winning combination.

Cricket is unpredictable. Undoubtedly India is better than Bangladesh but things can change on the field. I am confident that India will win as of now they have performed like true professionals.
