Another talent is Ishan Kishan, same as the Rishab, we are missing him today. I think he was bettwr option than De Kock. Mumbai is going to lose the match. I think I made good decision by not betting this match. Kishan is good, but De Kock is proven talent in International level so i think it was wise to go with De Kock. Mumbai Indians has power batting line up where Hardik Pandya comes at number 7 and their tail is not that bad. If MI can pull it off then it would be their highest chase in IPL. you did right thing not betting on this because history tells us that MI struggles to win their opening match in IPL De kock out |

The way Rishab play in Ipl, if he can play same in International ( ODI ) then he has every possibility of turning into great cricketer. but I want to curse him every time he plays silly shots.
So much talent and potential. don't want to see him waste his talent.

I will site examples for you, when India won in 1983, they did not have the best team but they performed really well when it mattered and hats off to Kapil for his 175 when they were down for 17 for 5 something like that, it was a collective effort and that is how they won the world cup, in 1992 Pakistan was not the best team and they lost to India but under Imran Khan they played as an unit after those defeats and won the world cup, in 1996 world cup Srilanka came up with the tactics to open with Jayasurya and Romesh Kaluwitharana both explosive players and Aravinda de Silva to stablize the innings if they loose early wickets and they carried out that game play and won the tournament defeating Australia in the final.
That's why English and old cricket legend from SENA countries ( Including Windies) consider 1983 and 1992 are the biggest upset in World cricket hehe. India was a shitty touring team back then despite having good players. Kinda sad that no one has a recording of that majestic inning played by Kapil Dev (175) against Zimbave. British Media didn't cover that match. |

I had an 4 fold.
CSK
SRH
Australia
South Africa
Edited
All major South African player playing in IPL. Srilanka should win the match today 
I was doing the same and was feeling happy that my 4 fold was going to win.
In the Mumbai Indian Vs Delhi Capitals match I am not going to bet however I am going to see Mumbai Indians performance.
No bet or prediction from my side but Mumbai Indian should win this one. So far we are seeing good cricket today in IPL. |

And I have lost my first bet on IPL. Can't believe that SRH lost the match till now. It was not a good score but when it's SRH, it should be a big score. Isn't this Subham Gill the one who played earlier in National team if I'm not wrong? Shubman Gil is rising star, yeah he played for National team I knew it, Kolkata won by 6 wickets with 2 balls left. Andre Russell ALL-ROUNDER performances make it simple, however, I pretty upset that he missed 50 just 1 run away! So far, this match is full of entertainment.
I was actually cheering for SRH and Warner. sadly SRH lost the match. Mumbai Indian Vs Delhi Capitals Who is Rasikh Salam, playing for Mumbai Indian? he's looking good seamer, never seen him before, its his First IPL match I suppose. |

Well well Ladies and gentlemen Andre Rusell going gaga on 22-yard pitch 6 Ball and 12 runs. Shubman Gil finishes the match with 2 sixes. damn, I thought SRH was going to win this match. |

Pakistan batsmen are doing very well in batting. In last match they were good, today they are looking better. I think they will be able to score 300+ runs but it's the Australians betting who are good too. I am looking forward to a good chase hoping that Pakistan will score 300+ runs. Actually, Pakistani batsmen played bad on patches in the last match that's why they couldn't reach 300 runs in the end and in the start they were all set up for 320+ runs. |

Edited out It’s also pertinent to note that current Indian captain Virat, and Ex Captain Dhoni have changed their position for the benefit of the team. Yes, the list is actually very long. I am not a big fan when Virat change his position tbh. but for Dhoni its all good. i would include Sachin along those list when he was made opener in 1994 and he made the biggest impact in the history of cricket as well as Sehwag being promoted as an opener in test, changed test cricket forever.
I intentionally didn't mention Sachin because he's in a different class. and yes you are right about Sachin. Actually like I mentioned before the list is very long so I only gave a short list of players. |

Changing position doesn't gives up much difference IMO. In short format a batsman lineup consisting of consistent players and a proper tune of aggressiveness is a key to a good lineup.
Sometimes changing position can do wonder for player and Teams, no matter it's 20-20 or 5 days cricket. sharing a small list of the great top openers who used to play in the middle order and some of them even in the lower middle order. 1. Sehwag 2. Jayasuriya (Debuted at number 5 then downgraded at number 7) 3. Mark Waugh (Started as a Middle-order batsman) 4. Chris Gayle (started as number 4 then dropped at number 7) 5. Justin langer 6. Rohit Sharma 7. Marven Attapattu ( He used to bat at number 9) 8. Adam Gilchrist ( Used to bat at number 7) The team just need to find the right horse and its just a matter of time for every team. |

No world cup for New Zealand and South Africa? Are you sure about that? New Zealand were the runner ups during the last World cup and South Africa might lose their choking tag at some point.
Both teams are equally capable of lifting the World cup, but England and India stand a better chance in my opinion.
Being a runner up does not mean they won the world cup, winning the world cup and participating in it is an entirely different thing  . New Zealand came close to winning during 1992 and after that they are the dark horses in every world cup and South Africa had one of the best players in their squad and still they did not come close to winning the cup and 2003 was the closest they came and Gibbs dropped the catch of Steve Waugh and the world cup and Warne bowled a magical spell. According to you, number 2 in a World cup tournament is nothing special which I completely disagree with. Anyone who underestimates New Zealand are fooling themselves especially with their current lineup. South Africa will always be a formidable side to beat no matter how many times they choke or lose. Australia will always be the team to beat, but the current team is nowhere as amazing as the previous Australian lineups. Bro, no one underestimating them, we all are just making an assumption based on their performance. Kiwis and Proteas both have a proven bad record when playing big matches in ICC tournament. Would be great if they can make it in this World cup and break this long-lasting drought. Let's say Final between Kiwis and Proteas  |

Like I said in a previous post, Australia have all the momentum right now after coming back from 2-0 down in the ODI series against India. It looks like that will continue on even in this series with Pakistan and if they can keep the momentum going Australia will be a tough team to beat in the World Cup as Smith and Warner will most likely come back into the team. It was good to see Finch get some runs making a century as he needs to continue doing if he wants to hold his spot in the Australia team. It was an easy win for Australia and they should go on and win the series as Pakistan's bowling is poor.
True, suddenly this Australian team looking all charged up and each and every player is in form and more waiting on line to get their hands to get dirty and keep in mind Mitchell Starc is not in time atm. |

But still I have a feeling Australians can still come back to the match strongly and can win this.
The key thing for Pakistan now is to not lose quick wickets
You are right. Team like Australia don't give up easily. Even if the target is over 400 runs they go after it. But Pakistan has good bowling side. So it will be interesting to see the match. Agree Oz don't throw match easily. Let's Bet on it if any team make 400 runs against Australia in this year ( forget about this match ) Australia going to lose the match. |

Let's move on LOL
Australia vs Pakistan who is going to win?
I pick Australia however Pakistan started well. They won the toss an elected to bat first. So far scored 28 without no lose after 6 overs.
Pakistan looking strong atm. the way both batsmen set right now, Pakistan should reach 300 marks easily or best case scenario 300+ In case if Pakistan reaches the target score then I bet on Pakistani Team due to their Bowling attack. Australia needs some tight over in the last 7-8 overs and their bowlers are very much capable in doing that. |

I’m self employed, my partner & I run one successful business (online ladies fashion store) & we’ve just started another one.
I’m in my early 30’s, I don’t have a private pension. I’ve been thinking for a while that I need to start one, my girl does too. The thing is though, like the post above me states - Some pension plans are a scam. What if I die before I even get back what I pay in over the next 30-35 years?
This is where bitcoin comes into play....I have plenty of bitcoin & to be honest even if I just keep 5 until I’m 65 the price then will probably be obscenely high that it’ll be so much better thsn a shitty pension any way.
Traditional Pension program works perfectly fine in my side of the world if someone is a government employee and guess private pension is more or less same everywhere. I didn't think about any pension plan yet but already secured investment in Property and got a modest amount of BTC for the long term. Call it hODL or pension plan, but it's sealed for good 10-15 years. Though I still hesitate to call long term BTC holding as a pension plan because we don't know what future holds and one should always be kept an open mind if something change. I used to think I'd live to be around 120 years old. But now, I'm thinking, if I even get to 90 or even 85, that I would have lived a good life anyway. (Or even earlier, but not too early.)
The way our lifestyle changing drastically. even 85 marks look stretch to me. My grandpa and ma died when they were 102 and 103 respectively due to natural cause. I can't even imagine natural death in my current lifestyle and I am kinda living a healthy life. Physically Fit-No smoking-below average drinker. |

Slagging Aussies are the team who used to do it the most especially in Australia vs India matches. Adam Gilchrist was the man who used to slag from behind the pitch. Back to Kiwis, Kane Williamson is a very smart captain. He knows how to use his team mates. May be this year New Zealand can bring something on the table? Oz basically took sledging on a different level. there is a reason they were called " Pack of Wolf" (Ricky ponting's team) they used to be a formidable team and sledging the opponent was one of their main tricks. worst case scenario for any team if Oz playing in home ground. Kiwis can bring good cricket on the table along with SA but that's it No world cup for them  No world cup for New Zealand and South Africa? Are you sure about that? New Zealand were the runner ups during the last World cup and South Africa might lose their choking tag at some point. Both teams are equally capable of lifting the World cup, but England and India stand a better chance in my opinion. 99% sure if i look at their history when playing big tournaments. 1% surprise factor is always there and not only for Kiwis and Proteas. it's for each team no matter what is the outcome. In recent time Limited over cricket became very volatile similar to BTC We all can only assume and predict the outcome based on available data. |

Happy Holi (Festival of colors) to you all. I wish for big green candles and peace for all.  I was in jaipur with my girl one year for this festival. It was fun to begin with and then we found ourselves running away from mobs chasing the white tourists. I had colored powder coming out of my ears and nose for days. Jaipur got some sweet spots for celebrating Holi and I can assure you that 99.99% time mob are completely harmless and during Holi, everybody runs here and there just to save him-herself from colors. but you did well by running away otherwise the color will come out in patches even after a couple of weeks or in some case month Next time visit Mathura if you want more craziness in a very good way. its another world down there, totally worth it. ~snip
I guess most of the buyers can relate to that lol It’s just a psychological thing really & a bit of pathetic self pity. When I think about what I bought most of my coins at I should just STFU & stop being a whiny bitch. Happens with all of us at some point. I didn't see you whining in this regard so far, so would call it Human nature to be more precise but would like to hear your story sometime so that I can pick a thing or two. If I talk about my little experience, I usually buy it when there is Choas. Otherwise, I sit idle and waits for my orders to fill. |
