It was very hard for Ground Umpire but Third umpire had millions of camera angle and footage but still he went with soft decision of out which was original decision. i can make peace with Ground umpire when it comes to close calls but third umpire simply has no excuse. this kind of decision can cost game to one team, Rizwan was playing very well and was in attacking mode.
I did not watch the match but all the third umpires usually take a look at the no ball and then proceed with the rest of the ultra edge and other technological methods to determine whether the on field umpire made the right decision and i am not sure what happened in this case but if the third umpire made this blunder then he is not fit to be an umpire as he usually gets a few referrals every match and if he is not even capable of verifying with the help of all the equipment then he might need an assistant  |

It's sport, but I don't think it should be included in Olympics. IMO events like diving, artistic gymnastics or figure skating shouldn't be in Olympics because there only subjective judge decisions decide who will win. Diving, artistic gymnastics and figure skating are difficult to judge and the judges scoring them might have biased opinion, but other than the Olympics i never saw those events even in television and there are not much audience for it either in my opinion Or Baseball and softball - how many countries besides USA are actually playing it?
Why not to include something serious like Rugby (not rugby sevens) or cricket. I even would love to see snooker or darts in Olympic games.
Rugby and T20 cricket should be including in the next Olympics but my doubt is that in Olympics you cannot include players who are doing professional sports playing in other cricketing leagues around the world but it is a good thing to see more sports being included in the Olympics. |

Lol. I doubt this match will be a one-sided one. The kiwis are hungry for some revenge after their string of losses to England and am expecting fireworks in this one. Latham and Ferguson are the ones to watch for me.
Both teams have world class bowlers and it all depends upon which batsman will score runs, England does have a young team and if they are able to rise to the occasion then it will be a good contest and it is difficult to predict how the match goes and hence i will be watching this match as a fan and will plan on entering after seeing the first session, the pitch will assist the pacers as it is a green turf and in the final two days it might spin. |

I don't understand why NZ are favorites here. Their morale would be down after the World Cup and T-20 series blunders this year which is why England will probably win this one too since 2019 is their year after all.
New Zealand is difficult to defeat in Test matches, in T20 and ODI England does have a better team and they have one of the best limited over players in the world but in Test matches it is a different story, the entire England team depends on how Joe Root is performing and if he fails the rest of the members like Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Joe Denly are fairly new members without much experience and odd makers will see those when determining and so is the reason New Zealand is a slight favorite in this match. |

Since it's something a large number of people are working on, I don't worry about it as much as I used to. There's definitely stuff in the pipeline that's going to assist with scaling, so it's just a matter of waiting.
scalability talks heightened in 2015.. its now 2019 .. 4 years of waiting... yawn and no solution insight for the btc network and no dont even bother to pump the PR waggon about alternate networks like sidechains and networks that are not even blockchains. May i ask what is your scaling solution, i agree side chains are not the solutions but in your opinion what you will do to scale bitcoin, i have seen some of your debates in this forum and you are a good critic but i am yet to find your solution on how to scale. LN is an option for users who are willing to accept payments through it and it will aide merchants for micro payments and i hope there will be other viable solutions in the future for mass adoption. |

Today I decided to crawl around on the so-called DarkNet to see what people are sellling for Crypto currencies. First of all, I was amazed how many people are dealing in Monero these days. The second thing that grabbed my attention was the weird things people were buying online with their bitcoins. You have the normal drugs and steroids and stolen credit cards, but what caught my attention was the dirty panties. That disgusted me to no end... why would someone want to buy used panties with stains all over it? In any way, it was a fun afternoon and I have seen some very weird and disgusting things.... but I will never buy used panties.. thanks.  What is the most weirdest thing that you have seen for sale for Bitcoin? There is a reason why you call them the darknet as you are able to secure anything that is not able to purchase otherwise, i am not a darksite user and never purchased anything till now but i used to visit them in the past to see the market and you could literally get anything, the panties are available in the open market and for those you do not need to go to the dark market . There are many silly sick people around the world, for me drugs availability is just crazy. |

Well, Ben Askren will be missed and mostly he surely earns the title for the fastest knockout in the UFC history of 5 seconds but no pun intended because it is true but at least he will be getting more earnings when BTC hits another all-time high.
Ben Askren wanted to test himself inside the UFC and wanted to create history but he got in the record books for all the wrong reasons and the record for the fastest knockout will stay forever as it is not easy to break that record and in reality Ben got knocked out before that but the referee took a couple of seconds to call the fight off and that is why we have that 5 seconds. Ben is a smart investor and he was the most vocal MMA fighter when it comes to bitcoin investment and i liked his trash talking skills as it was fun. |

I was never really a big fan of tests to begin with though I do know there is a certain section of Cricket fans who love it. Also, proper technique is a requirement in all formats.
It hard to be a fan of Test matches unless it is the Ashes, the rest of the matches are boring to be frank but i will not miss the Ashes as we have seen some of the best Test match cricket during that tournament in recent memories, if you are having good hand eye coordination and power you can go a long way in the shorter formats and you really do not need that much technique  . |

This tournament win should be the start of him to be placed in No.1.
He is so talented and he can do it in the next years. Now that Federer is near retirement and Nadal coming next, he is going to be on the top along with Djokovic.
For Stefanos Tsitsipas to become the world number one then it is a long battle, he played really well in this tournament and he needs to do that consistently to reach those status as the rest of the players who proved year after year are placed in the top and if Stefanos Tsitsipas is able to perform the same kind of performance consistently then we might see that next year but it is too early in my opinion. |

And the winner of this fantastic tournament is Stefanos Tsitsipas, i did not give much attention to this kid when the tournament started and i wonder what was the odds for Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the tournament, the match was really competitive, the first set went to a tie breaker and Theim won that and the second set was won by Stefanos Tsitsipas easily and i thought Theim will win the final set but it too went to the tie breaker and Stefanos Tsitsipas won the tournament, hats off to him and hopefully his form continues.

Today we have a final T20 final match between Afghanistan vs west indies it will be very interesting watch because the T20 series is level with 1-1 can Afghanistan give upset to west indies with T20 series win?.
I did not expect a performance like they had yesterday and i thought if Afghanistan has to win the contribution from Rashid Khan should be exceptional but they had a new bowling start yesterday and they were able to level the series but i am not expecting the same performance today and i guess West Indies will play him better today and i am going with West Indies to win the match. |

It is really sad to see that the name Satoshi Nakamoto is used by all the scammers around the world to lure people into thinking that he is the creator and scamming people to invest into all the shitty concepts and who knows who are taking that alias and scamming people world wide, bitcoin has created a monster and Satoshi the villain for all the people who lost money and it is sad to see these things are happening and i wonder why they are under custody for impersonation and scam.

Well give me a match between Aus vs Eng or Eng vs India or India vs Aus, I will watch most of the balls. Test cricket are still the real cricket but it really has to be with same strength.
When the strength has significant difference then we will see this kind of boring match no matter if this is Test, ODI or T20.
The most interesting matches are always by top three teams in world cricket, England, Australia and India and i am looking forward for the Indian tour of New Zealand and how the current Indian batsman will deal with the bounce is to be seen and they have some quality fast bowlers and how well they can perform in those pitches is to be seen and the rest of the matches are mostly one sided and even England does not have a good test team. |

Ideally, the ICC should be having same set of rules for all the players from all the teams. He tampered the ball, and should have been handed over a minimum of one year suspension. On the other hand, his colleague (Dwayne Bravo) was trying to downplay the seriousness of the offense by saying that Pooran committed a silly mistake and should be forgiven. These sort of silly mistakes end up destroying the spirit of the game.
Match fixing and ball tampering should have harsh punishment because that could impact the game as well as the result of the match and millions are wagered in every match and that can cost you money and huge losses and that cannot be accepted, when Smith and Warner were suspended i thought it was harsh but the ground reality of considering everything that was appropriate but now when it comes to Pooran they are downplaying the event which is strange. |

Ajinkya Rahane reached 80 plus and now he will be careful until he reaches his century. Since Kohli went for a duck i want to see when he will be planning to declare the innings  . Ajinkya Rahane lost his wicket looking for an expensive shot and Jadeja is sent now and the captain might be looking to increase the run rate or promoting him to have some experience in the middle and develop him as a complete batsman, Agarwal is still scoring freely and as long as he is in the crease they will score a huge total. Edit: Jadeja is playing like proper batsman and he is not trying to increase the run rate. |

Aggarwal seems to be comfortable now on the crease and we still have Rahane , Saha left who are proper test players IMO. We have Jadeja and Aswin as well, not regular test players but still can deliver when in need. We still have 3-4 good players so no worries.. we are gonna get past 400+ atleast
If Mayank Agarwal can perform like this in bouncy tracks then he will be an asset for India, i have seen Jadeja and Ashwin perform in the past with the bat and they have a decent average for a batsman and can be called all rounders and are regular in the test line up for India as far as i know, Ashwin is not playing in ODI for T20 for over a year, India will look to win by an innings with they way they play as both the batsman are set for big runs. |

2 crucial wicket have been taken, and all the three are taken by Abu Jayed. India still have the chance of hitting 400+, Mayank and Rahane both are good players for test format.
In sportsbet, for Draw you will get 20x while for Bangladesh you will get 70x. Anyone taking the risk? lol
Too much of a risk as India is in a good position right now, Kohli gone for a duck but still there are plenty of batsman for them to score above 300 runs and Mayank is continuing his form as he is batting well and he might score another century, the pitch is helping the spinners and India have two quality world class spinners that could create trouble for Bangladesh in the second innings. |

Afghanistan is going to be shit day by day as they are going down very badly after WhiteWashed in ODI's I was expecting some good and interesting this series but after watching first twenty/20 look like they are going to face another WhiteWash as West Indies is in full command and they are giving 100% for winning.
Looking back the Test match they won against Bangladesh they performed well and after they never had a win and their loosing journey continue till now, i thought they will perform better in T20 but then that is also gone after watching the highlights of the match, the batsman are not performing and they are not able to chase a total like this, i wish they win the toss next time and bat freely and put a good total on the score board and then we might see a good match. |
