Today, Afghanistan won the match for their excellent performance from bowling to batting. The runs that Sri Lanka batted first today were not the right runs for them to win.
Afghanistan played Supervb, as from start of the match they choose bowl first which was a clever decision in Thier favor, I taught that 268 will be difficult chase for them as Afghanistan were known for Strong T20 team because of Thier batter pure power hitting but today they proved that they has ability to survive in ODI format too and can defeat top ranking team too.
In my mind credit of Thier beautiful victory goes to Ibrahim Zadran who build a long partnership and Carry on the momentum after every dismissal which help the entire team to raised his moral and generat the power of will. As a result they become victorious in first match of Thier series
In the most recent match Afghanistan displayed their skill by making the astute choice to bowl first a move that greatly benefited them. I initially thought that despite their reputation as a powerful T20 team known for their power hitting they would have a difficult time chasing a challenging mark of 268. They dispelled my reservations by showcasing their adaptability and success in the ODI format though. Ibrahim Zadran who formed a unique partnership and kept the team momentum even after each dismissal was the mastermind behind their astounding win. His fortitude and leadership played a crucial role in raising the team spirit which finally resulted in their merited victory in the first match of the series.
Choosing to bowl first is good and in the upcoming match the toss will have big role. Rather than Afghanistan it is a must win match for Srilanka. The best performance happened in the previous match, and the same can happen again. The team that have improved much on T20 is now on the track to prove its ability in ODI. In the past the team players used to make mistakes going for big shots even when the score is lower than the remaining number of balls. Finally ends up losing the match, and now they're very responsible and the team plays in a much confident manner. Lets see what happens in the upcoming match.

Looks like Clermont managed to get a draw in first half in the last minutes  Shocked and what is even more crazy is that they had a goal canceled by VAR and a missed penalty so the score could have been easily in favor for them. Now , 2nd half , PSG should make a SOLID game in order to give Messi a proper goodbye from team or maybe he will be the one scoring the victory goal Cool
The first half have ended in a draw. Clermont Foot is no down in any means. The team keeps its attacking spirit from the beginning. The goal during the additional time is really impressive. Just after a missed shot from Rashani the shot from the very close position to the centre of the goal is big from Mehdi Zeffane. The draw in the first half will make the match more aggressive in the second half. Clermont Foot placed at the 9th position on points table, still a tough contender.

Ireland have recovered well in second innings. They are now 259/6 and trail by 93 runs.Andy McBrine and Mark Adair are on the crease and they both have added 100 runs to the total. Definitely Ireland are not in a position to win this game, the best result for Ireland will be to avoid a loss by an innings. Mark Adair is highest run scorer for Ireland in this game as he is not out on 61 (50).
Congratulations to England for their outstanding performance, securing a resounding 10-wicket win. Despite the challenging situation Ireland has shown remarkable resilience in their second innings, with a score of 362 runs. The partnership between Andy McBrine and Mark Adair contributing 100 runs highlights their determination. While victory may be out of reach Ireland has only focus is on avoiding an innings defeat. Mark Adair impressive knock of 88 runs showcases his valuable contribution but Ireland set a commendably low target of just 12 runs, and Ollie Pope exceptional batting performance, scoring 205 runs, earned him the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
England team could not win by innings margin for few runs. If Ireland had reduced by 13 runs in the second innings, they would have been defeated by England by an innings in this match, but Ireland managed to erase that shame.  

England declared the innings by scoring 524 runs in the first innings against Ireland. When Ireland were bowled out for 172 in the first innings, England invited them to bat again but compared to the first innings, Ireland batted very well in the second innings. They managed to score 362 runs in the second innings which saved them from losing by an innings.
Why don't the team have similar performance in the first innings. Recently Ireland have played test matches against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and now against England. Right now the team is getting into the test cricket. Among this, it played well against Sri Lanka and scored 492 runs in one of the innings. At the end the team lost the match by an innings. So, losing by an innings could happen at any situation. I hope Ireland will perform better with time when they continue playing against different teams.

I don't understand the point in having these sort of one-sided matches. Ireland is not just ready yet to face the pig-3 sides. They ever struggled against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and then how can we expect them to be competitive against England? On top of that they are missing some of their key players such as Josh Little and Craig Young (the latter as a result of an injury). I have a feeling that the decision to award them full membership in 2019 was a mistake. There is no improvement in the Irish performance for the last 4 years. In fact I would say that their performance has worsened.
Ireland is still a very weak time and their performance in these matches sums it all they cant compete with big teams on international level.
Irish cricket board should first work in their performances than send them to play outside their country.
Alot of work is required to be done on this team.
The performance of Ireland cricket team is found down in test format, whereas it have got better with T20 and ODI format of cricket. Gaining experience is must for the Ireland team to improve its performance. Compared to the first innings of the match, the performance in the second innings is really good.

Ireland team have failed in its bowling. Batting is really good and if few of the players make strong scores, surely Ireland can easily reach 350+ runs in any innings. The bowling order is not at a good position to support the team.

I think it might happen in a span of 10 years. The way IPL is growing right now I do not see this as an impossible task. The only problem is that I do not trust cricket to actually stay alive after 20 years. Unless ICC changes some rules. Cricket is not going to survive only throughout the Indian and Pakistani players, if you know what I mean.
Cricket will be well and alive as long as people are interested in them and the reason IPL and India is able to generate huge revenue than any other country is because of the fan base and the ability to fill any stadium whenever a match is played and the TRP rating they are receiving. Australia, New Zealand and England along with the other Asian countries are the major teams and it will be like that for the decades to come and the present fan base wont be diminishing.
Agreed, it is the followers that make cricket more popular and people of India celebrates it. In Bangladesh for a win against India, the government declared it a national holiday. This is how countries have given importance to cricket. Along with these countries more countries have grown well amidst the infrastructure and economic situation in the country. Few of which were Nepal and Afghanistan which will turn to be strong team in the coming years. European countries celebrate football in similar style and Asian countries does it with cricket.

Let's even assume this is possible, how often can the chaces come, for the fact that someone might be lucky to jam this kind of opportunity doesn't makes it applicable for everyone intending for it as welll, there are many ways we can earn through gambling and it's likely we earn upto that daily or not upto that, but the sacrifice needed could not be afforded by everyone, which means they may not be able to pay the price for such, I've seen people working upto three different jobs per day in gambling and earn a good income but they are very extremely busy and got all it takes to be employable.
It is gambling, there is no way to determine how often to get the chance for winning. Luck is one of the big factors in gambling besides the system has been set by the owners to make people hard to win. Because of this matter, we have no way to get the chance to earn money regularly. So, how can someone expect to earn $100 daily? Not sure how OP can assume about earning $100 daily, he may be a new gambler and not really understand how gambling works. If OP is an experienced gambler, he must know that earning daily is a bit impossible. Moreover, if he expects to get money of a certain amount every day.


With gambling we can't expect things to happen same as always. At times we need to experience loss, and we should have the mind to accept it than following to recover what we've lost. Even $1 is hard to be earned on the regular basis. One could have $500 in his wallet and he finds $1 to be earned easily. Just for the dollar winning people end up losing entire $500. This is how gambling works. We don't know how it all happened, but what we experience is completely upon our lack of emotional control. Over time some gets lucky and some understands how to handle things. Whatever the possibility we've got, it is impossible to make $100 regularly.

On the same thing about ChatGPT, Sam Altman have said it won't destroy the job market. The innovation doesn't mean there is no job to be done by the humans. The main purpose behind ChatGPT is to serve the human beings with assistance. Having assistance will help in getting works done faster. Maybe this is how Sam Altman looks ChatGPT, but surely it'll have some destruction in the job market in my understanding. When something is progressive, there'll be something that needs to give way. This is how the job market gonna get affected with the existence of ChatGPT.

in my country 90% of people have a bank card, people know about bitcoin, only young people 8x, 9x. My country recommends and does not protect bitcoin users when there is a civil dispute
Most people in my country are uneducated and live below the poverty line. They don't know about Bitcoin but Bitcoin has been declared illegal in all political circles of my country so if people in my country use Bitcoin they are convicted and sent to jail under various laws. People in my country who have idea about Bitcoin also cannot use Bitcoin directly. They also do Bitcoin transactions avoiding the police.
We were able to come across similar situation in different countries. In particular Bangladesh used to arrest people using cryptocurrency and send them to prison. This had been the situation and people continue to use it. What makes them use is the real ability of bitcoin and believing that the government will understand the real purpose of bitcoin someday. Most of the people residing in Bangladesh used to travel to India for the purpose of trading and other usages with cryptocurrency. When we're interested into something we need to make plans and follow it.
589  Economy / Economics / Re: Methods to cut food costs on: June 02, 2023, 11:13:09 PM
Actually it would depend if you live alone or if you're with your family.
If you live alone you should find a canteen that serves fresh cook meals and cheap because if you would cook for yourself the portion would be to much.
But if you live with your family buying ingredients in the market and cooking it yourself would be the most efficient way to save money on food.
Vouchers and coupon would only works on those who live alone and couldn't find a canteen.
How do you come to the conclusion that buying food from a canteen that sells cheap food is much economical than having to cook that food yourself while your living alone.
I think getting the ingredients and cooking your food yourself while living single or as a family is more economical than buy food where ever.

The only thing you have to worry about is storage. If you've got proper storage facilities, then you've got no issue. Besides, you get to eat to your satisfaction than you can do in any canteen.

You don't get to pay any transport fair or have to seek the sort of comfort you would have in your home. I doubt there would be any much comfort in a canteen that sells cheap.
Not everyone loves cooking. For all that people who keep on spending on restaurants for their food need, switching to a canteen or to Home food provider is a better choice. Probably he/she will end up spending half the amount spend on restaurants and hotels.

Another choice we friends used to practice is have our food on the sharing basis. In Asian countries main dish with some side dish is consumed. The main dish used to be less expensive and the side dish used to be costly and we can see big volume. So we buy three main dish and a side dish to be shared within us. This used to reduce the cost on food when calculated individual.

Looks like Ireland first innings will be over by today. Right now Ireland have lost the 5th wicket. Most of the match this is the situation. Used to loss wickets at the  beginning and the lower order used to contribute better than the opening order. Atleast 250+ runs is a must to have a better match between the teams. McCollum -36, Moor - 10, Balbirnie - 0, Tector - 0, Stirling - 30. Stuart Broad in good form and have taken 4 wickets.

I had high expectations from Ireland's batsmen in this match. Because in the last few matches, I have seen Ireland's batsmen perform well. Ireland could not win though. However, Ireland's batsmen managed to perform very well. But against England's bowlers, Ireland's players are unable to survive at the crease.
Ireland lost their sixth wicket by 104 runs. Ireland has now collected 124 runs. Campher and McBrine are batting now. These two batsmen are quite experienced. If they survive I guess Ireland will collect like 250. But the probability of this is very low.
Stuart Broad bowled just 13 overs and gave away 5 maidens. And managed to take 5 wickets. Ireland will probably lose all wickets before 200 runs.
Other than Balbirnie and Tector there is contribution from every player, but none have come up with solid performance. Campher have scored 32* runs. More than 50 partnership between players is must for Ireland reach 200+ runs, if not this is going to be a match with first innings score less than 200 runs. Ireland have reached 169/8 at the end of 54 overs. There is big expectation on batting, and now somehow the team is good crossing 150+ runs which at the beginning is at a very bad position of 19/3

England vs Ireland
There will be only one match of the England vs Ireland Test series, starting today. England is a strong team, Ireland is a new team in Tests. Ireland is a weak opponent for England. The match will be at England's home ground, which will get more support for England. It is impossible to tell which team will win or draw in the 5-day game. I think England have good quality players. Hope England will do well in Tests.

Don't have much hope for Ireland. Their batting looks OK, with Andy Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Peter Moor and Paul Stirling in good form. The two youngsters - Lorcan Tucker and Harry Tector have been scoring a lot of runs recently as well. Still, facing Mark Wood and    
James Anderson is going to be a challenge for them. However their bowling looks very weak. Josh Little is not playing in this match, and Craig Young hasn't yet fully recovered from his injury. Other bowlers are out of form, including Andy McBrine and Mark Adair.
England is gonna win the match. However Ireland will try to give some better performance as they have good batting order. The bowling from Ireland is not to the level. Even with the previous test match Ireland suffered loss due to poor bowling. Over time the team will improve as experience lets them understand how to handle situations.

Balbirnie have said about the match to be a challenge, along with the same he had mentioned his confidence of making a win against England. A win is historical and to the same he had added up the previous test match played between the two teams, where England got dismissed for 85 runs.

Excited for the upcoming WTC final between India and Australia which will start in a week from now. I feel that Australia has a small edge over India since they usually perform really well in major tournament finals.

Am expecting Kohli to be the gamechanger for India in this adrenaline fuelled final. Hyped!
Soon after the IPL the WTC final match is really interesting. As said Australia team used to do miracles in final matches. The team that perform moderate used to give tremendous performance at the finals. More teams were in the race to reach the WTC final. Sri Lanka and New Zealand have more chances and finally it was between India and Australia. Lets see what this teams do.

In most of the away from home matches Virat Kohli is the only player to have consistency in performance. So, there is no doubt, he'll have his contribution. Anyhow in the second day we'll get to know whether the match gets the result or ends in a draw.

~snip~
There are really consequences on our actions. Hence, we must do our very best to be responsible for every of it because we just reap what we sow. If you don't have limitations and let yourself be addicted in gambling, then nonchalantly disregard all of your other duties, the time will come you will suffer the negative effects of it and you will not like it. You have no other options but to face it eventually because running from problems won't really solve it. You're just going to delay the outcomes, but you can't avoid it forever.

Regarding being a drug abuser at the same time, I don't think it fits every time because some addicts aren't really dependent on drugs for dopamine. They have this some kind of cheap thrills from being able to play consecutively and perhaps excessively. So, I think it's not good for us to assume nor to generalized without really backing it up with legitimate references and citations of studies, since addiction is a sensitive topic as well.

I do think that it's a similar thing to addiction. It can be anything that produces a positive feeling in the brain.

People get addicted to anything, even gambling. The main issue with gambling in particular is that it can get quite expensive, you can lose your entire life savings in a night, whereas with other addictions the cost is way less, even though they might be so addictive.
The gambling addiction used to be very expensive against the other forms of addiction. For drug addiction or to stop smoking there are medicine and other alternatives that could make people hate the habit of drugs and smoking. With gambling things were different and there is need of self willingness and the mind control. This makes gambling the worst of addiction from which one cannot easily get out. As said it is the difficult one to cure as well as the expensive one that cause big financial problem in life.

Each and every match on the final match day have got results. With the win against Al-Taee the table leader Al-Ittihad confirm its position and becomes the champion of the season. With a 5 point difference between the first and the second team Al-Nassr takes the second position after its 3-0 win against Al Fateh. On the final match day Ronaldo wasn't able to perform due to injury and the expectation upon Ronaldo isn't much fulfilled. Maybe a title win is much to be focused in the upcoming season of Saudi Arabia Pro League.

Bitcoin market is completely on the supply to demand market. However it is really hard to predict the price of bitcoin. At the beginning the market doesn't have any external sources making changes in the market. Nowadays the market being speculative and have begun to coexist with the traditional market we were able to experience such kind of market movement connected to world market news. Even this doesn't make big impact, it happens to some extent. Beyond that it is the market itself making its moves. As the usage varies we can experience variations in the way the market movement happens.

Good decision, but you should understand well as well as make your dad understand the reality of the market. Never assure of big profit out of the investment with deadline. This is wrong, give him the advice to have patience, which is how it is possible to make best profit out of the investment. The retirement fund is the earning for his dad to the rest of his life. The son have taken the right decision. Partial investment is good, and he should plan for his regular pension spending in a much calculated way. In most countries military persons have got more subsidiaries, so leading life out of the pension paid is not a big thing.

Easy for me to place those bets with Bitcoin, but before now I always bet with USTD since most casinos accept the currency as their primary currency.

My choice of betting too bitcoin as the payments were sent in terms of bitcoin. Only the last week's payment is available in the wallet. Most of the users here in the forum have the similar practice of spending their campaign earnings. Only the Whale gamblers keeps depositing more and more in the form of different coins and enjoy gambling.

There are enough wars and various crises in the world now, so it’s not surprising that we should expect an increase in inflation, many economists predict exactly this, sanctions on various states and start this process, besides, we forgot about covid, it was he who launched this process around the world .And now we see its consequences.
Increase in the inflation rate continues as the need increases. The ongoing war, lack of management, oil and gas availability. More issues push the inflation high. The sufferers were the common people, whereas the elite and rich doesn't gets affected much. From COVID things went worse and till date we weren't able to make a recovery.

In the upcoming years we can expect small countries to show better growth against the grown economies of the world. Right now people have started to move cross border for few dollars and Euros profit. The retirees leading life with the retirement funds have got scheduled spending and now the amounts weren't sufficient. In all levels people are suffering out of the inflation and governments too weren't able to handle it.

More T20 franchise based leagues were happening around. Some even try to make comparison with the IPL. The money spent on IPL is huge, so is the revenue. Beyond all for some reason every season the popularity of IPL is increasing. This is happening out of the tough challenges that are being broken by players. The last night's two balls will be spoken till the next IPL. CSK lifting the trophy from its 9th position in the previous season of IPL to the title winners. Almost two months of cricket celebration have come to an end.
