That is very true. Pakistan is the one who is suffering the most because of not having any India versus Pakistan series. And for a long time, it felt like Pakistan was dependent on others. But right now it feels like Pakistan is trying to get out of that situation and Pakistan is also trying to do things in their own way. I appreciate the approach from Pakistan. But I really doubt that Pakistan will be able to generate the amount of revenue that India is able to generate.

Present government of India is strictly against playing with Pakistan. Moreover Pakistan like Srilanka is at the verge of economic collapse. In such circumstances its very difficult for pcb to generate heavy revenues. India Pakistan rivalry is hurting cricket fans alot as they are deprived of quality India Pakistan games.

This is a very sensitive topic in South Africa. From what I heard, CSA has assured the franchise owners that there will be no quota based on skin color or race. But there is no confirmation. The officials from the ruling party (ANC) are going to put a lot of pressure to implement the quota for this league as well. But the franchise owners will be unhappy if that happens. And a lot of overseas players may refuse to play, on ethical grounds. Quality players will be included in the playing XI irrespective of their skin color. It will be good if CSA stop pushing low quality players for selection, just because they have another shade of skin.

We the people living outside RSA are not aware of ground realities. If there central government is doing such thing then defiantly there is some reason for that. Black people in RSA are suffering from discrimination for decades and now they said enough is enough. Black lives matter and they have equal right to play cricket just like white people.

India versus Pakistan cricket has always been a center for various types of people to enjoy cricket. These two teams are the best at attracting people. Two of the best teams in the subcontinent. It’s a shame that they are not currently playing against each other for a long time. That has certainly dropped some viewers and decreased the interest of a lot of people in cricket. This is one of the series which actually attracted a lot of neutral fans. Just because of some dumb politicians cricket is suffering really badly in this region. And I have to say ultimately the blame is going to go to India because Pakistan is trying to do better.

I do not endorse political influence in any kind of sports but with India and Pakistan, the situation is completely different. Both countries have a good amount of talent pool for a lot of sports. At the moment India is able to utilize the talent which is evident with the number of medals India has been getting in the Commonwealth games.

Regarding cricket, I do not think Indian cricket or BCCI is suffering for not playing against Pakistan in a bilateral series. The Indian board has been churning a lot of money through IPL and the Indian team has been playing a lot of cricket globally when compared with the number of games being played by Pakistan. No one cares what the Pakistan board is trying as long as BCCI generates the highest revenue from cricket and donates a part of it to ICC.

Yes these days whole cricket world including ICC is under BCCI and primary reason is IPL. India has given new life to cricket which has very limited money but now a days IPL is paying cricketers equivalent to what English Premier league is paying. PCB ha lots of talent but doesnt generate much money thats why no one cares for Pakistan.

Bangladesh atleast needs to score more than 300 or more if they want Zimbabwe to struggle chasing. They still have three overs in hand but it seem their batters are struggling to score runs. Mahmudullah should now start work on increasing the run rate rather than thinking about losing his wicket. He needs to get some boundaries now. He has been on the pitch for quiet sometime now and has already got his half century.

Bangladesh have scored 290 runs in there first innings and which is quite a decent score. In reply Zim are 30/3 in 10 overs. Clearly Bangladesh are favorite at this point. From Bangladesh side star performer is Mahmudullah who scored 80 runs. Overall its a good batting from all Bangladesh batsmen.

England and Newzealand women are playing for 3rd place in common wealth games 2022. England women scored 110 runs in 20 overs and in reply Newzealand are 32/0 after 3 overs. Definitely Newzealand are favorite to win the 3rd slot. England batting collapsed today in front of Newzealand bowling.

I want to say, it is a do-or-die match for the Bangladesh team. They have to win this match by any means. Won an ODI series brilliantly against West Indies a few days ago. It is unbelievable that they will perform so poorly against a team like Zimbabwe. Bangladesh lost the previous match only because of the inefficiency of the bowlers. At the same time, Mushfiqur collected 17 runs off maybe 16 balls in the last 5 overs. We don't expect such a silly performance from an experienced batsman like him.

It's good to see Zimbabwe finally performing good in ODIs. First ODI was a real entertainer. Right now Bangladesh are batting first and after the end of 14 overs Bangladesh are 81/2. Both openers are gone after giving a solid opening stand of 71 runs. Let's see Bangladesh can capitalise on that.

There is a sample of Elon Musk NFT on CATA website. I just wonder is this an authorized NFT or just a randomly created NFT by the team of CATA. This is some serious violation of copyright and must be answered by the team of CATA before authorities take some legal action against them.

I see that the price of the euro will definitely be less against the dollar, since Europe will probably have to pay for the benefit of other countries. What does it mean? Probably many people know about the problems in the United States, namely in their economy and finances, and so this all needs to be resolved and it has already been found, namely, the ruin of Europe will just allow the United States to help solve its problems at this stage in the first place. Based on this, the price of the euro against the dollar will continue to decline.

As long as EU is doing stupid mistake of boycotting cheap Russian gas rather buying expensive USA LNG they are deemed for destruction. There is energy crisis be expected in few months. Meanwhile Russia is selling his oil to New markets found in China and India.

Scotland's batting performance impressed everyone. After losing 5 wickets at 107 no one expected Scotland to give the target of 307 for this match. However, I was sure that Scotland would lose this match. Due to very few experienced players in their squad. And the performance of the bowlers is not good. Scotland should now strengthen the bowling line-up. Then they will be able to challenge any strong team in the future.

Scotland and other such associate countries must be given more such chances so that they will learn more. Now one thing is clear to Scotland that they need more focus on there bowling lineup. Scotland batting is strong, following is evidence of there performance against Newzealand in t20 worldcup.

Here we need to know who are the managing committee in ICC? ? Where they come from? These answer will clarify where is the problem? Politics is everywhere in today's world, when these Politics are applied to any organization, it can no longer function as it should. Cricket would have reached a better place today if there was no favoritism by the senior officials of the ICC in cricket.

Cricket is as old as other popular games like football and rugby but the point is cricket even a century old game is limited to 8 test playing teams only? Who is responsible for this mess. If you dig deep then it's very much clear that icc and big 3 don't want more countries to join in.

West Indies won the toss and bowled. And the match started well for the West Indies bowlers. India lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Suryakuma Yadav for just 17 runs. Obed McCoy took both wickets. However, India's run rate is still very good. They collected 40 runs in 4 overs. Rishab Pant scored 19 runs off just 7 balls.

India has so much depth in the batting that even if they lose 2 to 3 wikcets even then they have tendency to cover and this is exactly what's going on at the moment. Shreyas Iyer is gone too and India are now 48/3 in 5 overs.

With just a few months to go before the T20 World Cup cricket, it is a matter of great concern if any team defeat in t20 cricket without any resistance. The match between England and South Africa was played yesterday in which England was defeated by 90 runs. Such a big run loss is rare in their international T20 cricket. England's top-order bats man collect short runs for this reason they had to loss the match. England team have highly experienced cricketers they will find the mistakes and take necessary step for the next game. I expect in test series they perform better and will try to won the series.

T20 format is not a proper cricket. If you wanna see which side has best cricketing skills then test is the best format. In T20 any team can  win on the day of match. So we can't say that England has lost a series against SA they don't have chance to win the series.

West Indies have won the toss and decided to bowl. West Indies have made few changes in the playing XI, Keemo Paul and Shamarh Brooks replaced by Brandon King and Devon Thomas. On the Indian team Ravi Bishnoi is replaced by Avesh Khan. West Indies believes they can chase the target and that is the reason for choosing to bowl winning the toss.

West indies got good start as Obed McCoy has bowled out both the openers. Sharma is gone on very first ball of the match followed by Suryakumar Yadav. India projected score so far looks 171, which is quite good enough to give there bowlers chance to win the game.

The US dollar strengthened slightly and the euro continued to weaken. Inflation and global recession continue to worsen all sectors of the economy in various countries and the eurozone is under pressure from this and even the weakening of the euro is also caused by one of the factors, such as increasing concerns about the possibility of a recession in 19 eurozone countries. even according to some surveys found that business growth in the euro zone is slowing down. and that could cause the entire region to fall into recession. and many other factors as mentioned by other members above.

1 usd = 0.98$

Usd is one of best performing currency these days thanks to stupid moves by Europe of boycotting cheap Russian gas. While usa is the biggest beneficiary of ukarine war while loosers are EU along ukarine and Russia. EU and Russia must sit and find a peaceful solution.

ICC is kept as a dancing doll. Whenever the big 4 comes up with a plan, ICC starts to dance according to the order provided. This won't change in a short, because these people to have control over the entire sport keeps cricket in a way that it is played on specific locations and hasn't taken forward.

Right now it's all about IPL and due to money rich ipl everyone including icc and remaining members of big 4 are under bcci. At-least for next 10 years bcci will be supreme leader of cricket world and its best in there interest that cricket don't spread to other countries.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 01, 2022, 06:08:51 AM
The West Indies batsmen have performed badly in the last match. unless they improve, they will lose today's match as well. West Indies were defeated by 68 runs. Even the pitch was not bowling-friendly. So if West Indies want to win today's match then their batsmen must play well. If the batsmen perform badly, it is not possible to win the match.

It was 41 runs knock from Dinesh Karthik at very part of innings that helped India giving target of 191 runs and that's why they won the game because of such a huge target. In reply its all disappointing from WI, as none of there batsmen able to score more then 20 runs.
878  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 01, 2022, 06:05:15 AM
After disappointing performance by England in the T20 series with South Africa I hope they win the test series which will start from 17th August. South Africa already tops the point table for the test world cup. England is ranking 7th and if they want to improve their ranking they need to win all the three test matches.

England is fully struggling these days. Ben has taken over as test captain and it will take some time before we can say that whether Ben is good choice as test captain or not. Between performance of England so far in ODI and T20I series is not disappointing they played well in all matches.

I think he should retire from one format, just like Ben Stokes. He can then concentrate on his performance on the other format. The other option would be to take a big break from all forms of cricket and then make a comeback. Getting humiliated like this from everyone won't help him at all. BCCI has already started giving him breaks and if he doesn't improve his performance then he might get permanently dropped.

King kohli should be given break long ago but bcci gave him too much chances and he failed everytime. I think it's too early to say he should retire from some formats. He is given a deserving break and he must go back and play domestic cricket, he still have potential to play all formats.

Perhaps you are right. The Sri Lankan team has improved a lot. I would say the performance of their batsmen has stabilized. Especially the top order players are playing well. But all the matches were held in Sri Lanka. If you want to do well in the next World Cup, the Sri Lankan board should definitely organize the series outside the country. But Sri Lanka will not play any more series before the World Cup.

No one was expecting Srilanka to draw a series against team like Australia and Pakistan, in both series Srilanka lost one game and won the second game. Its good that Srilanka cricket is reviving and there next goal should be to win series held outside Srilanka.
