Although Indians bowling line up wasn't that much experienced, their batting line up was better than Bangladesh. In fact, it was a good batting line up but still failed to got a handful score against poor bowling attack of Bangladesh.
If they are not able to score runs against Bangladesh then you cannot tell that the batting line up of India is better than Bangladesh, they defeated India and that record will stay in the record books, Bangladesh was clearly better than India and the bookies was also giving good odds for Bangladesh but i doubt anyone expected them to win the first T20 and with how they played the second T20 becomes interesting and i wont be surprised if Bangladesh win the series  Cheesy.

If Krunal could got Mushfiq, there was a chance to win. That was a total mess from him.
There's not much better option in the squad as well. Shardul Thakur may replace Khaleel Ahmed.
In T20 if you are missing catches then it is difficult to win a match with a low total .

By the way, Shakibs suspension was really surprising. Sometimes ICC is too cruel.  
The timing was cruel as he was leading the team to fight against the low wages by their cricket board but he clearly violated the ICC code of conduct andit was clearly mentioned about the consequences if they did not inform them about bookies approaching them.

ICC did the right thing here. Shakib is not a child and he knew what he was doing. However, I wish they would have handed him a 1-year ban like Smith and Warner.
Ball tampering and fixing are different issues, i consider giving Smith and Warner a years ban for ball tampering was excessive but in the future we will not see anyone doing the same mistake again and so is the reason they are giving out harsh punishment like these.

Doubt that he will leave UFC. He was already kicked out from UFC after 3 or 4 losses in a row. But spoke to Dana a lot asking for a return, and he took him back.
No one wants to leave the UFC because of the money they are offering and Arlovski is fighting all the fighters who wants to prove themselves to break into the top rankings and all of his losses are against fighters who wants to break in the top rankings and age is also another factor as he is fighting for a very long time.

The only place where Andrei Arlovski could go is Bellator, because other organizations seems to be on a much lower level than Andrei can perform.
One FC or Bellator would be fine as the level of competition is not that high in the heavyweight division but one shot in the glass jaw of Arlovski and the fight will be over  Cheesy.

It was Justin Langer who first spotted the issues with Maxwell. According to Langer, these issues were persisting for the last 12 months, and he was hesitant at firs about talking about it to him. Luckily, both Langer (coach) and his teammates have been supportive of Maxwell and hopefully he will be able to make a quick comeback to international cricket.
The best thing is that they identified the issue with Maxwell and they are treating him well before the T20 world cup so that he can make a return, the details of his mental issues are not public but he is going through hard times even though he was acting normal while he was having the microphone.

I have never heard about any international cricketer taking break from the game due to mental health issues, apart from that of Mark Vermeulen (Zimbabwe). In his case, it wasn't diagnosed until it became really worse. Vermeulen burnt down the Harare cricket academy in 2006, and was immediately suspended from the team. Two years before that, he was banned by the ECB.
Not heard about this incident but if he is going through depression or mental illness he should get the treatment and what is his situation now. Sad to hear that they need to wait for him to burn down something to identify his issues.
2205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deontay Wilder Vs. Luis Ortiz II on: November 01, 2019, 07:31:11 PM
Please tell me which television broadcasts this boxing match, because in my country I don't show this super boxing, Deontay Wilder Vs. Luis Ortiz is a fierce fight if I bet this might be a big profit.
I look forward to this battle begin.
You can watch the match in Fox Sports or Sky Sports, i am not sure which country you are from and hence i cannot give you a proper guidance on which channel it will telecast, the first fight was really interesting as Deontay Wilder had some challenges to overcome before defeating Luis Ortiz, if not for the age of Ortiz i would have given him a real chance against a young Wilder with a lot of power in his shots.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: November 01, 2019, 06:50:01 PM
Again, lots of stake in this fight for both fighters, if Joshua win this one, then he has a chance to face the winner of Fury vs Wilder rematch, which has been in the talks until Ruiz derail that plan. But if Ruiz then definitely it will be an easy fight for either Fury and Wilder and I think both of them can defeat Ruiz easily.
There is a lot of stakes for Anthony Joshua to win the fight and i hope he will be prepared for this one if not his golden days of making easy money will be over, he was selling record tickets for all of his fights but the loss has dented his plans and hence this rematch is a must win for Anthony Joshua and if he losses this one then his selling power will be a big issue.

I doubt this will make a big impact. The World Test Championship is a good idea to motivate people to come and watch matches, but it will only help in a small way. More people might come and attend the semis and the finals if they are happening in India.
There is nothing wrong in trying, i never used to watch test matches like that but the Ashes i will try my best to watch when ever i get time and usually these are interesting encounters than the rest of the test series.

Based on what I have observed, T-20 is the new norm associated with Cricket and I don't have any qualms about it since I love how entertaining this format is and is my favorite one in my opinion.
The T20 format is entertaining but you cannot find real cricket being played because all the advantage goes to the batsman with small grounds and rules favoring the batsman.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: KSI vs Logan 2 on: November 01, 2019, 01:52:41 PM
I am just amused to hear that they have sold out the events as per the organizers, this shows that people like to watch any famous personalities fighting each other and that was evident with Conor and Mayweather when it became the highest earning PPV event and people like to see these kind of chaos rather than watching talented fighters challenging each other.

I do agree that England won this one pretty easily thanks to Bairstow, Vince and Morgan, but I feel like you are over-estimating them a bit too much. New Zealand performed in an average manner through out the World Cup(Depending heavily on Williamson).
England does have a really strong team in the T20 format and i am not over estimating them, New Zealand is known as a dark horse in all the world cup because they are capable of defeating anyone on a given day if they perform well but you usually will not see that kind of performance consistently Grin.

This is why NZ losing in such a manner especially without Willy is not surprising. If England is hit in the right spot, they will collapse.
That can be said about any team in any sport, hit on the right spot and anyone can collapse. Tongue

Are you seriously complaining because early cashout wasnt available? Well, thats optional and you know that, right? I have had a way bigger bet than you one day ago where I would easily been able to cashout like 150 mBTC - they didnt open the cashout for some reason though...
If there is an option available before the match condition to cash out whenever you want then you cannot call it optional after it gets stuck after you are making a bet, either they have to remove this function or everyone needs to have a clear idea on how this moves according to the match situation, i never had an issue with the cash out button but you cannot call this just an option and you can claim if there is a issue after wagging a bet and the team has to provide the solution and some clarity regarding this.
2211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 01, 2019, 06:37:57 AM
Even within India, the audiences for test matches have gone down during the recent years. Two decades back, it was really difficult to get tickets for test matches even during weekdays. But now, empty stands are the norm unless it is a holiday or a weekend.
May be the introduction of IPL and the introduction of T20 had an impact on the audience interest and the new generation of viewers might not be interested in the longer format and hence we see empty seats even in India. Earlier India had some legendary players like Sachin and Dravid and people usually come to stadium just to see them and may be that is another reason.

The traditionalists still want more and more test matches, but financially it makes little sense. There is no point in having these matches just to uphold traditions.
People are not having time to spend time to see 5 days of cricket and the taste of audience changes as everything is instant now and test matches shows the real talent of a player and hence they are promoting the test matches and the ICC is trying their best to revive the audience interest by day night matches.
2212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: November 01, 2019, 06:05:07 AM
What a game we had and England played well and did some good batting to win the game . All batsman in England team played well and this helped the team to chase the score easily with 7 wickets remaining . A good contest overall to watch the game .
England just dominated the match and chased the score easily even without some of their top players, they have a good bench strength for the shorter format and they will be a challenge for any team in the upcoming T20 world cup, Australia and England proved to be miles away from the rest of the teams and they are the strong contenders and whether any team can come close against them is to be seen.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 31, 2019, 11:40:29 PM
I just had a look at the headline mentioning that Aussies lost their T20 warm-up match. This is quite surprising for me as Pakistanis have made some stupidly big changes in their T20 squad.
If a touring young Sri Lankan side can defeat the number one T20 team quite easily and white washing the series then there is something wrong with they way they approach the game and they need to change that, may be Pakistan tool the young Sri Lankan team lightly and paid the price as they were trying to experiment with the players and since the defeat was humiliating they are changing everything and will see whether these changes will help them or not.

Did Warner, Smith, and other big stars play in this match? Huh Searched a lot but there ain't any scorecard available of this match.
Not even aware there was a warm up match .
2214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 31, 2019, 10:17:58 PM
At least AC Milan won this match. Although not very satisfied with the results of just one goal. The AC Milan level team should be able to make more goals. And this is Stefano Pioli first win in Serie A
This is the first win under Stefano Pioli first win in Serie A and even though it is not with a bigger margin i am satisfied with the win as i was expecting them to register their first win today against SPAL and if they could not do that then it will be yet another disappointing encounter and with the help of Suso, Pioli can have some relief as he was also under pressure Grin.

T20 cricket has attracted many audience but if you are trying to compare it will EPL and other Spanish and Italian leagues then you cannot have a match them as they all have audience world wide including many fans in the Asian countries and cricket might be the second watched sport in the world.
No one could compare it with EPL and other soccer leagues but many countries are now focusing on the T20 format and since the time frame of the match is low compared to the rest of the matches it will catch on to the rest of the world and it is possible that baseball fans will like cricket in the US and they will be looking forward to attract more countries to play international cricket.

i am not sure how Zverev can come back in this match, i wish Zverev to win the match.
The second set was won by Zverev in a hard fought battle but then he lost his energy and surrendered the third third set without much fight and Shapovalov played a really good match to upset a top player like Alexander Zverev and i understand why you neglected an unseeded player like Denis Shapovalov and even if wage a bet i would go for a seeded player .
2217  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Scams are a global issue on: October 31, 2019, 02:46:44 PM
the scam happens often everywhere not only in crypto currency space.
There is no doubt that there are scams all over the world in difference financial sector but in this space we see that more often and billions of dollars are lost to these scammers which is not a small amount by any means.

there is nothing to be scared with the scam attempts as long as you fill your head with deep knowledge about crypto.
there is a lot of effort working on proggress to prevent scams these days , it does not need to stopping you getting involved in the business.
Scammers will improvise with time and they will come up with projects that will attract anyone with deep knowledge too, it is true that you cannot scam anyone with half baked projects but you never know what the future holds, i am not a fan of the ICO world as i have seen many scams and i am not risking my money for these shitty projects, i made my profit with the amount i invested and if i was too greedy to hold for a longer period of time i would have lost everything.

After the Sri Lanka and Australia T-20 series we also have Pakistan vs Australia T-20 series (3 match series) starting 3rd November and Afghanistan vs West Indies as well which will be interesting to watch as they welcome W.I in their home stadium in Dehradun,India.
We all know how Australia trashed Sri Lanka who dominated Pakistan in Pakistan and white washed them with a young team and are we expecting any other result other than another dominating performance from Australia, not sure what the odds will be for these matches and i am not expecting anything big nor expecting any upset, I did not know that Afghanistan is using India as their home ground and it will be an interesting series.

5 out of the 6 qualifying spots for the T20 Cricket World Cup 2020 have been decided so far:
The final slot will be awarded to the winner of the Hong Kong vs Oman match, which will start in about 90 minutes from now.
So are you expecting Hong Kong to win the match, i am not following these qualifying matches nor watched any of their matches, just watched some highlights here and there, since you said that Oman does not have any nationals but mercenaries in the team are they any good to take the team for the world cup and if there is a solid answer i would like to wage a bet for fun  Grin.
2220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: October 30, 2019, 06:53:49 AM
Tomorrow we have the second T20 between Australia and Srilanka, i am expecting another domination by Australia but the odds are not that great for the match.
If you take into account the performance in the first T20 then you will think twice on placing a bet on Sri Lanka but the odds are really attractive to miss that, i will plan according to the toss, if Sri Lanka is to bat first and score a good total then i will place a bet on them as Lasith Malinga is still a force to face easily when you are chasing and he has the ability to change a match anytime and he is the trump card in this match.
