Thanks bud. I managed to get the news. So, if Ireland somehow manage to win this test (BIG LOL) then will they be the nation who will win their first test in very short time? I am very poor in looking at history. May be JSRAW has it. :-P edit: LOL England are done for their first inning :-D 85 runs and all out! |

~snip~ Lol was about to send comment and he's gone  67/9  LOL you should be knowing that it happens with you always. Stop making post if you are supporting England :-P Jokes aside, honestly speaking it's a shame for England. First international match after (who cares the format) they became world champion and they are performing their worst against a team who are not a regular test playing country (Come on guys, can anyone confirm when Ireland got test status LOL). |

What in the hell is going on here?!  Speechless bud, speechless. Never ever thought to see England in this position against any team. Is this even salvageable for England at this point? I understand that it's very early in the test, but thats one of the worst scores I can remember seeing for a first innings! Well three more wickets and then the first inning wraps up. Ireland will have two full innings and entire time of this test match. If they can manage good score in the first inning then in the 2nd inning whatever English scores it will be easier for them to chase. There won't be much run to chase for them. I do not think England will score 400+ runs in the 2nd innings, looking at the performance in this innings of course. Edit: Another gone! 8 down now! |

Also, will you be starting another pool for the upcoming Ashes and India vs West Indies tournaments Royse? Fun is the priority and I have enjoyed playing in the IPL and World Cup pools recently.
No sure bud. I think it's only few matches between only two teams to predict win-lose only. A pool like this kind is better when there are more teams like we have seen in IPL and World cup kind of tournament. If anyone has any idea then feel free to propose or start. I will give my full support. I am looking forward to the next big tournament, possibly T20 world cup, champions league, next IPL which are popular for all nations. By the way, we have now few new and very specific topics for cricketing. Have you noticed these: Test Cricket Predication and Discussion Thread [self - mod]ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] |

LOL England 52/7 and against a team like Ireland. I still don't know when this Irish team got Test status. I think it's the over confidence which caused this damage for England. If this was Australia or any other strong team then we would not see this score board. The batsmen were more sensible then.
I am looking for a channel to see some of the overs LOL
I wonder if this is the bowling or the batsmen playing bad shot.

I hope everyone will take this initiative in a positive manner.
I hope the same too. I felt bad recently when I saw a lot of Pffrt's post were deleted with other users too and I think most of this posts were form our cricketing discussion topics. Some of the posts were 100% on topic and there were no doubt that those were spam but it is how it is. So, keeping this in mind I made the both new topics self moderated. And as I mentioned earlier, please PM me with the link if anyone find any spammy post so that I can delete them. Let's keep this community (very small cricket community) clean and protected. Cheers Edit: Guys check this out ( Our world champions LOL) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168384.msg51933795#msg51933795 |

Its very good idea and I am first who is going to contribute today we have test between England vs Ireland and England is struggling as they lost 3 wickets and just 36 runs on board look like this is going to be very interesting match before start of big Ashes Roost and Bairstow is on pitch for recovering this early lost.
Oh snap! I was not aware about it. When did Ireland got test status? Indeed England are struggling (looking at the scoreboard) right now but this is too early to predict anything against England. It's only the first session of day 1, we still have all the sessions left. It's test cricket and team like England will come back from any situation. By the way, welcome to the thread. Edit: LOL another wicket down! Root gone! England: 42 runs and 4 down :-P Edit2: Huh! What the F is going on! 6 down! :-P 42/6!!! |

~snip~ Yeah it's looks like mega spam thread to others tbh and I am up for it if dedicated threads comes in play for all 3 formats. Like you said We can't make self mod thread in gambling. If not then can we discuss this with the main moderator? Don't know much about it so clueless and am not meta guy Done! And both are self moderated topic now. It's a shame that I did not have this in mind when I created this T20 topic. |

We have T20 cricket discussion topic. We have Test cricket discussion topic. and this topic will server for ODI cricket and other general cricketing discussion. The topic is self moderated to prevent spams. If anyone spot any spam then please PM me with the link not only for this topic but also for the other self mod cricketing topic. Cheers :-) |

In this thread we will discuss about international Test cricket. I guess it was a community demand from long ago. The first time I noticed it when we had this world cup prediction pool. @royse and everyone : guys do you think that we need dedicated thread for test cricket? If yes then some senior member please open new thread for "Test cricket " main thread doesn't look good with big flag and spam.
The topic is self moderated to prevent spam. Cheers :-) |

Lately I was thinking the same. We have a dedicated thread for T20 now (I wish I could make it self mod, We need a separate thread for Test and ODI too. The main concern about the main thread is that the big flag which really do not look good however we all have to admit that it served it's purpose. Edit: I believe in taking action besides discussing :-) ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]Test Cricket Predication and Discussion Thread [self - mod]I hope we have everything for cricket now :-) |

Moreover, the West Indies cricket board should forcefully retire him from the international cricket if he's not willing to provide his services for his original team for some other stupid T20 leagues.
I think that not the right way. A player can play according to their will. Denying to play for the national team does not mean that they can not continue in other international leagues. A player is free to sign up with any team/league. We have seen AB as an example. The same with football to I think. ~snip~ One or two expensive over can turn a match in T20 format, West Indies has more benefit on this  This same statement applies to India too who possess some hard hitters who can finish game on their day. It all comes down to how good each side bowls at the end of the day. Seem like a lot of us is thinking West Indies can make an impact and win the T20 series :-) The extra pressure for India is to maintain their standard and perform according to the expectation. This is a huge disadvantage for India. If they can not handle the pressure then they will suffer and if they perform bad in the opening match then game on for West Indies. |

I can not possibly imagine the need for images of the notes and it was a very very easy job. Someone could do it for free but since there was a deal to pay then you rightfully own the money.
It's weird how people back off once they get that they want. You can create a flag against the user if you want to. I will leave a tag for him.
Sorry that you did not get paid.

~snip~ Which channel will be telecasting those matches and i am not aware of any channels telecasting those matches, they are just posting these scores and i will not spend my time to watch those matches either, too much cricket around and if we start watching those matches we get a feeling that we could also get to play for their national team . I thought the same too. That will be too much cricket LOL One of the reason for cricket not being watched by too many people is duration to finish a match. However T20 matches are helping cricket to get more exposure. But for a real cricket fan, Test and ODIs are the best format and satisfactory to watch. |

I am also from India and I don't want cricket to get restricted to South Asia. It is just a small dot in the world map. Even other teams are getting Asian dominated, such as USA and Canada. I want cricket to be a global sport like football. Rugby world cup is ongoing right now, and even this little known sport has 20 teams participating in the tournament from all the inhabited continents.
That's why we need more and more cricket playing nations. When the popularity of a sport gains in a country then it starts attracting youngsters. It also requires management, which a board does. Everything is about business when a board will see money is coming they will invest and in this process we will see cricket payers from all race. It will take time. 50 years, 100 years or may be 200 years or more. |

Posting here since this is the T20-related thread. Welcome to the conversation. It's really sad that Gayle in not playing in T20s as he is the best player suited for this format. In ODIs, I understand that his performance is bad while for T20s, WI needs him as their previous performance against India was miserable. I've never seen a player in IPL who could hit 6s back-to-back like Gayle and once he sets in, he is capable of taking the score to 200+. I would like to see Gayle continues in the T20 as long as he is fit to play. Seeing him in the pitch means bonus excitement. ~snip~
Indians are less than 10% of the population of Singapore, and yet 100% of their cricket players are from the Indian community (and a majority were born in India as well). There is no representation from the Han and Malay ethnic groups, which constitute for more than 90% of the population.
Japan, Korea.etc used to have mostly native players in their squad. But the situation has changed now. Their current squads are almost 50% Indian. Teams such as China, Myanmar, Iran are nowhere in the picture. They don't "qualify for the qualifiers".
In cricket, India is huge and you will find almost in every country Indian citizens made their home so seeing them in any team do not make me wonder. Cricket is a big brand, a craze in India and also in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. |

Exactly I can't understand if this promotion is still ongoing and OP still offers to pay back 0.02BTC if one buys this membership for 0.01BTC or not?
Looks like he does from the OP but not from comments in the thread.
I guess you missed it. It had two phase: 1st one time offer for the user who will claim first was taken by malevolent (one of the staff member). He stayed neutral. if you read his responses in this topic, you will notice that he was not vouching for itcoinbay but itcoinbay using this such a way that it was a vouch from malevolent. Then the latest topic was his 2nd one time offer again for the first one who will claim and I was the one who joined the conversation first but at some point I realized he is doing it all wrong. So far if I am not wrong then he has not got anyone yet. |

Starts on August 3rd I believe which is a couple of weeks away. Why in the world would you expect West Indies to win? Even if some major players are resting, the Indian lineup will most probably decimate West Indies.
I don't know LOL Even I do not know who are playing and who are not playing for West Indies. I guess it's the brand that West Indies are a team of T20 :-) In short form of cricket like T20 any team can be dominative if they have hard hitting batsman. |
