No one having doubt about beauty of the test format, but recently we have good changes with the help of T20I and bazball bring significant changes and its beauty is going to be at his best even many are feeling it is not real cricket but no one can stop these changes and these were needed as well now aggression and politeness both are doing good job, and we have good entertaining stuff like we have in third test match of India vs England series hopefully youths will be delivered like we have from Jaiswal and Gill will be also having good performance in coming matches
Bazball is interesting but it cannot be applied in every matches and pitch conditions, England won the first Test because of the way they played but they failed to replicate the same performance in winning the next two matches, even in the third Test, the way Ben Duckett played was extraordinary but the rest of the batsman were not able to take advantage of the situation and they kept loosing wickets.

Yashasvi Jaiswal played one of the most incredible second innings and showed how and when they need to attack unlike Bazball, taking on James Anderson and scoring 3 consecutive sixes was extraordinary.

Bangladesh U19 team performed very poorly, they could not stay on the field for long. The India U19 team won by 84 runs, a remarkable performance that has been remembered by the cricket world for this performance. Indian cricket team is known as one of the strongest team in the world from very strong small team to big team. Adarsh Singh scored 76 runs and Uday Saharan scored 64 runs, these two players helped the team to 251 runs from the long field side. Bangladesh U19 team failed to fulfill the target of 2015 and Bangladesh U19 team was forced to lose after losing all the wickets in a very short time.
The Bangladesh bowlers bowled well till the 46th over restricting the flow of runs and picking wickets but then the Indian batsman were able to cut loose in the final few overs to set a target above 250 and Bangladesh started well with the chase as they got to a flying start but once they lost the first wicket, wickets started to fall like a house of cards.

I think they were in a relaxed mode and played with a bit overconfidence after winning the first match very easily. I'm not going to blame the bowlers though for today's defeat. Indian players haven't batted well today. As an opener, Ruturaj Gaikwad isn't doing well in the ODI format. Some Indian player plays a lot better in T20I and IPL matches, but their performance isn't good in ODI format as expected.
It was a fast pitch and all the Indian batsman struggled with the bat and the South African bowlers bowled brilliantly and then the pitch might have slowed down eventually, i did not see the entire match after India were struggling to score runs above 200 as it was a done deal to ask the Indian bowlers to defend a small total.

Was surprised that West Indies were able to chase a total above 325 in the first match and win the match and i was expecting a good match when they faced earlier today, but it was a different West Indies team that showed up as they struggled to get 200 runs on the board and lost the match easily. Looks like winning the toss and chasing is the way to go in this tournament as the team chasing won both times.

Many exchanges also promised that they will never introduce a KYC. As a result, under a pressure from regulators, they introduced a KYC
Many exchanges started as a fun endeavor and they might have had their claims when they started the business but when hard money started coming in and after understanding the real business aspect and how regulators will stick to you, they changed their narrative because they wanted to survive as a business.

By the way, there is a section at the forum where users exchanging cryptocurrency with each other. And this is already subject to regulation
No!!

Isn't Bitcointalk decentralized forum where everyone has freedom to talk on any subject even against any government?
Bitcointalk still allows freedom of speech and support decentralization.  If you check out the past mixers that got into trouble by the government citing aiding in helping mix hacked coins and it has become a recurring theme and theymos took the safe option rather than getting in trouble.


If tomorrow Gov declare Bitcoin btc as a money laundering source then we will see Bitcoin word in blacklist and also we will change domain??

apologize  for over talked but I learned here that This forum is best place for embracing freedom.
The reason why the authorities are able to track the hacked coins to these mixers is because it is transparent and it is clear to any government that BTCitcoin will not aide in money laundering Tongue.

For some weird reason, the PFL on their recent event has gained so many views and PFL still isn't stopping creating surprises for the UFC and Dana White, this is concerning to them as the UFC would need to have a better promotion for their fighters and increasing  the pay isn't going to be an option as we all know how the UFC has scheme something Jon "Bone" Jones is still recovering from injury, Israel Adesanya is taking sweet time for sure he wants to be ready enough both physically and mentally, but not out in the UFC,
This is not true, PFL was streaming the recent event free in their Youtube channel and when i started watching the event, the total viewers were below 1k and only during the main event the viewer count touched around 1k which is pathetic view count for a major promotion. Majority of the fights were not that competitive even though it was championship bouts.

There may be many better cricketers than Maxwell but there is no other cricketer like Maxwell.
Kept his nerve and hit every ball. He may be an idol of cricket for Australian people because he is a gem of Australia because of the record that he has won various matches for Australia which may be very few other cricketers in the world.
This year is probably the best year in the career of Glen Maxwell even though he had some freaky personal accidents that forced him off the field and for the longest period he would have been a player who really did not fulfill his potential with all the skills he had but his double century performance in the World Cup against Afghanistan and the innings he played today was just incredible, taking the team to victory from impossible situation has now become his forte.

Besides SKY did 80(42) run and became man of match although he wasn't in his form for long time but finally he started doing well again. Australia bat well even ball so well and got lots of wickets. They tried thier best but India gave their best effort in match and become winner of the 1st T20I
SKY is back in his favorite format and he is the captain and hence he was able to set his batting line up with the way he wanted and he promoted himself to bat earlier and he really played well and was surprised that India was able to pull off a victory against Australia chasing over 200 runs and with all the drama in the last overs Rinku Singh is a match winner and he needs to get more opportunity in the team.

Pakistani Cricket board chairman Zika Ashraf work like so un professional, he hired one of normal un experience player for different important roles like they make Hafeez as a head coach while Wahab Riaz as a chief selector what a sh***t it is. I thought they will make Rizwan as a captain, but they select Shan which is unexpected and unacceptable. Now news has come out that they select Umer Gul and Saeed Ajmal as a fast and spin bowling coaching which look fair. But anyway such entire mess will end with a worst results and may be new chairman will hire, and entire things will change. But to be honest it will really damage entire things like team Unity and some other stuff which took alot time to settle but now ruined with few days or weeks now let see how Shan can take responsibility of captaincy
The issue stems from the top with the power struggle with every chairman, three PCB chairman in the last 3 years and you cannot expect the team to settle down and perform well and you cannot blame the team for their performance during the World Cup and as usual the captain will be the scapegoat after the failure in a major tournament and a major shuffle in the team and historically it has not helped them and i do not see that changing either.

The problem with India was that once they lost the wicket of Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul became over-defensive and were scoring just 2-3 runs per over. And once Kohli got out, Indian batting lost their balance and were losing wickets quite frequently. And for this match, India didn't had any bowling allrounders. They didn't included Ashwin or Shardul in the XI and as a result the Australians were able to wrap up the Indian innings without much effort.
Here you have the reason why KL Rahul played a really slow innings, many are criticizing the way he played and it is simply because the tail was really weak and India lost wickets and he was not in a position to attack when the pitch was really slow and the ball was not coming into the bat. If the role were reversed and Australia were batting first, they would have struggled the same and batting second would be an ideal situation as it got better in the second half.

Dream run and tons of potential but looks like their journey ends tonight and seems to be a one sided victory for Australia, only a miracle or some ridiculous bowling spell could save the SA.
The match is getting closer, at one moment it looked liked Australia will run away with the match scoring easily and once the spinners started to bowl, the match changed upside down, Australia already lost their 5th wicket and the only positive for Australia is that Steven Smith is still in the crease and they still need 73 runs to win and the match is getting interesting with the way the pitch is behaving Cheesy.

But everyone expects South Africa to win the semi-final and become the champion with India. But why fate dealt so cruelly with South Africa no one can say.
Second semi finals, a bowling wicket and all the batsman are struggling and now the pitch is spinning a lot and not sure everyone expected South Africa to be in the final that easily as they always choke under pressure but now the match is getting interesting because the spinners are troubling the Aussies but they can just chip away easy singles and win the match.

50 world cup wickets for Mohammed Shami at a crazy average and strike rate.

Edit: Yet another wicket for Mohammed Shami. He is on a role with his bowling.
It is crazy that Mohammed Shami was not in the first playing eleven until Hardik was injured and yet he is one of the leading wicket takers in this tournament and yet another 4 wicket haul in this match.


~
India hasn't been tested by any team yet and this is their first test and that too in the semi finals. I never thought New Zealand to fight this hard after being smashed for 397 runs.
Mohammed Shami just changed the match situation completely, picking two wicket back to back after dropping a catch and India is back in the game and more pressure back to New Zealand. Daryl Mitchell is still in the crease and even if he play a Maxwell kind of innings it is a difficult target to chase as the required rate keeps on climbing.

Virat Kohli is struggling from cramps and if India losses a wicket now, Shubman Gill will come back and probably score his century.
Virat scored his 50th Century in ODI and back in the pavilion and KL Rahul is in the crease and there is no need to rush back Shubam Gill as there is plenty of batting left for India.

~
Shreyas Iyer is playing fast I hope he will make his century. Because if you see he has made 77 runs and hit 3 fours and 5 sixes.
While I am typing India lost a wicket that is Virat Kohli on 117 runs.
When the World Cup started, i was really critically about the spot Shreyas Iyer have in the team and when he did not perform during the initial few matches, i would like to see him gone from the team but then changed his performance completely and the way he is scoring runs is mind boggling and that too consistent and he will reach another century.

There are reports out regarding the home team meddling with the pitches that are to be used in this match to be in their favor. They have new pitches available in this ground and yet they are using an used pitch that conducted two matches earlier in the league, both the times, the team batting first won by huge margin and India choose to bat in that same pitch, so not expecting any surprises.
It is not a huge surprise that the home team can chip in about the kind of pitch they wanted in the match, ICC will overlook on these selection process to make sure that the pitch is good enough for the match and there is no stipulation as per the rule book that a new pitch should be used for the semifinal or finals  Wink.

India off to a flying start and if they score anything below 350 then it is a disappointment with the kind of start they got from Rohit Sharma.

^  Same...  If anything, I think Dern could KO Andrade imho.  The KO prop is 9.00 at Stake.  Lol.  Wink  Dern throws with a lot of heat as she uses all her strength and leans on her punches.  And Andrade doesn't seem she likes to be in there anymore.  The first moment it starts getting tough, she starts fading.  Don't think she still has the mindset to be a fighter.  Dunno...
Mackenzie Dern was really sloppy with her striking nor her striking defense, it was really pathetic and as soon as the first started, i knew she would get smoked by Jéssica Andrade because she was not tucking her chin and she was presenting her chin as a gift and thereby getting knocked down 4 times in this fight which should be a UFC record Cheesy.

The knockout by Diego Lopes was a thing of beauty.

BenoitSaint-Denis also showcased his kicking range and his knockout capability and his range awareness.

Tom Aspinall was the surprise as i heard he was not training for this fight because of an injury and placed the bet on Sergei Pavlovich but fast hands always wins in the Heavyweight division.

Alex Pereira is a beast, striking legend and if you think that you can defeat him with striking he will showcase how elite performs. Two division champion in a single calendar year which is crazy and his post fight speech about Adesanya inspiring him to sign with the UFC when he was working in a bar in Brazil after his Kickboxing career is a stuff of legend .

You may be right but i have a gut feeling that India will win this World Cup.
Simply looking at the performance from all the teams, you could see that India is the team to beat in this tournament and it will be a surprise if they do not win, so no need for gut feelings for that  Cheesy.

And as far as the last World Cup is concerned, I remember that England was given an unfair advantage in the last over and it was a controversial win for England.
The rules were not set by the ICC when they saw England in the final, the rules were there even when the tournament started and if any other team or even Bangladesh or Pakistan were in the final, the same rule applies Wink.

I don't know but I can see the ICC's new patterns, The Big 3 hosting the World Cup and winning it. Englands hosted in 2019 and England won it.
This time India is hosting the World Cup and it is programmed for an Indian Win:Smiley
It is better to accept the fact that performance of the team counts rather than programming a win, if this is your theory that host countries win, historically the host country never won the World Cup historically and that trend was changed only in 2011 when India won the World Cup.

Where does that leave Fury and Usyk? If over time Fury had worked out how to defeat Wilder how does that affect the Fury vs Usyk possible fight? In my opinion if this Fury/Usyk drama was to continue the best thing that can happen in order to add pressure on both Fury and Usyk, is for Joshua to fight Wilder. That would really add a new dimension to the heavyweight division.
After the beating Tyson Fury got from Ngannou he needs to have proper rest and recovery before facing Oleksandr Usyk and it is the best decision to extend the timeline of the fight and most probably it will happen early 2024.

Joshua and Wilder camp is trying to set the fight for sometime now, they were really expecting the Saudi's to host and spent money but there is a shift in management that organize these fights and their management was talking to the other party who do not have authority. Their timeline for the event is also early next year.
