Well in the final Federer lost and also Kerber lost from the women side.
Thiem had an excellent tour. Lucky me that I did not bet in the final or I would go with Federer. I did have a bet for Kerber to win in final, Thiem to win in semi and Federer to win in semi. The last two were ok but Kerber lost the final and with that I lost my bet LOL.
By the way, Andreescu is playing in WTA Miami. She has a match tomorrow against Begu who is 70 in ranking. Andreescu should get an easy win after winning the Indian Wells title.
I have a small amount for her already ;-)

~snip~ True but it was not a final which a final mmatch should be. It was too easy win for Quetta, no chance for Peshwar. It would be quite different. However, at last Quetta turned the impossible to possible.
It's true that Quetta made it easy for them. Peshwar failed to produce a fighting score. 138 was very small rum for this wicket. It was a betting pitch after all. So Quetta did not have much hard time to chase it. What I understood from the speakers that in the other PSLs Quetta did not have their full strength but this season they had they entire army.

And... Finally Quetta Gladiators won the match. They are celebrating it. Soon they will lift the trophy for the first time. It was a very easy win. I am happy for them.
Congratulations Quetta Gladiators. They deserved it.

Oh WOW! What betting platform is that? Looks neat!
It's sportsbet. I happy with two things. - Gladiators are very comfortable so far. Easily hitting the balls - My bet is going to win for sure (although in cricket anything can happen) :-)

Final day of PSL. Quetta Gladiators vs Peshawar Zalmi, the final match.
Quetta was my favourite team since I started to follow this years PSL and I was expecting them to win the tournament. This is their best chance and I hope they lift the trophy.
My money is in for Quetta.
Are you really betting on them with real money ? Yes I did risk 0.005BTC for Quetta when the odd was 1.70 This will give me 0.00850 in return. After restricting Zalmi by 138 I can really hope that Quetta will win the trophy today. Let's make a noise for Quetta :-)

Gladiators won the toss and chose to field first; so far so good.
I'd love to see Sarfaraz winning this one too! He deserves it.
After first over they are also looking good. 2 runs without losing any wicket. Both Kamran Akmal and Imam-ul-Haq are inform batsman. Gladiators needs them as quick as they can.

We'll get to see the finals of the tournament after 3 hours. I think that Gladiators are highly dependant on Shane Watson, Umar Akmal, and Ahmed Shahzad, while the Zalmis are counting on Kamran Akmal, Imam-ul-Haq, and Hassan Ali. I seriously hope that Sarfaraz wins this one, as: The real issue with Quetta Gladiators is the loss of momentum at the time when the tournament is about to finish. They've been in the finals for a couple of times, but they face real difficulty in semi-finals and finals. Quetta Gladiators might win all of these (ten) matches, but if they're unable to win the finals, these wins will actually be totally useless. I personally would like to see Sarfaraz winning this league as it'll prove that he is the best option available (for captaincy) for the ICC World Cup 2019.
I remember you said this earlier and I did not have much idea about PSL. You helped me a lot to get to know with this team. Then I started following their matches. I noticed some extra ordinary performance from Gladiators which triggered me to become their fan. I really really wish they win.

I see this campaign does not have anything to do with money however the small amount should encourage some of the posters to wear the signature. I see where you want to go with this. Very encouraging initiative to spread the awareness of Bitcoin.
Keep up the good work

Definitely the exits of top batsman almost at similar time has left a huge gap in the SL team to fill those spaces with that type of sportsman which one one of the best on the world. SL did not had planned well else they could have got somebody from their local playing team if they would have strengthen those teams and their players previously.
This means the inexperience and lack of knowledge of the management team. Before leaving the top players they should have work with bringing their replacement. Every team works from the root level, if the backbone of the cricketing structure is not strong then it effect the top level. I think Sri Lankan cricketing structure is very weak.

@JohnBitCo @Royse We were talking about slow batting and aggressive batting in the context of a Test match How 20-20 Game changed the mindset of the current generation players and their approach has changed drastically in a Test match too. Resulting test match finishing within 3 days. Yh I know LOL Since JohnBitCo had his response so I had to answer it ;-P Somewhere in a topic I said the same thing about 50 overs ODI match. I can not find it though now.

~snip~ And that gotto hurt . Their confidence will be shattered by now and really very poor performance. I wonder what the management is thinking right now , they gotto bring some new people in and make some changes.
I think in this up coming world cup, Sri Lanka is one of the team who are not yet prepared. I wonder what have they done for the last 4 years. They had some great players but they could not create their tails. It's so sad. :-(

Well people love to watch high scoring games as compare to the low scoring ones. Previously 250 was considered as the good score in ODI but since the introduction of T20, we see many ODIs score reaching 300+. The reason is that we have develop a habit of hitting throughout T20 matches and bowlers has very less chances to restrict the scores.
I have this same observation however I disagree with saying bowlers has less chances to restrict the scores. We still see outstanding performance from bowlers in low scoring matches. It's the physiology of the game plan which changed. Before 250+ runs used to seen an non achievable by chasing but now even 400+ looks achievable and they run after it.

Multi-sig addresses also start with 3. You can only tell if it is a Segwit or not if they have sent a transaction.
And how do I know? I always had this question in mind.

~snip~ I was expecting Bencic to get past Kerber as well. Kerber hits way too many short balls but most of the WTA players are unable to take advantage of that. Bencic didnt play the first set well anyways and it costed her the match. Its going to be Andreescu vs Kerber. What a couple of weeks for Andreescu. Definitely wasnt expecting her to be in the finals of a Masters event. I'd probably lean towards Andreescu to win the finals but it might come down to experience. Kerber has been to the finals quite a lot of times and is very comfortable with it, How Andreescu deals with it is to see. I'll bet on the match live.
For Bencic I lost two bet. I was too confident about her. It broke my heart to see she lost against Kerber. I had one outright double and one double. Outright double: Federer and Bencic And the other double was: Bencic vs Kerber: Bencic Thiem vs Raonic: Thiem

Not watching live but keeping a tab on the scorecard, SL struggling so far.
I am not expecting much from Sri Lanka. I am kinda bored seeing they are losing the ODIs. This team needs some psychologist like I said several times.
