I am not sure what you are talking about, which team would you think should have been selected instead of Pakistan. I did not understand that part, the level of game every team plays are not the same and eventually you will see good teams. Even in this World Cup, South Africa really played well and so does England and New Zealand, so the level of the game is improving than it was a decade ago.

You seriously cannot say that about Kamaru Usman, he made 5 title defenses after getting the title from Tyron Woodley who is by the way cut from the UFC after that because of his performance, two times he faced Colby Covington and twice Jorge Masvidal and he got rocked in those fights and the only tough match up was Gilbert Burns and even in that fight Kamary Usman was rocked badly even though he was able to recover and win the fight.

Khamzat Chimaev has legit one punch knockout power and he is huge for the Welterweight division and you think he is not up to the mark to get the title against Kamaru Usman . I want to see him fight Israel Adesanya as well and those will be great fights if he continues this domination.

This is a strategy you are talking about  , booking your profit when you feel like the market will go down and then you accumulate when the market settles down. Basically that is what everyone does if you are able to assess the market situation, if not it is better to hold until the next market rally and then accumulate the coins during the bear trend.

Of course all the fans want to see their team win and even though the Test matches were boring with pitches that are not up to the standards, ODI and T20 were great and Pakistan played really well in the ODI and just like the ODI matches T20 started with a loss and even though Australia won, Pakistan was able to drag the match till the last over.

The basis of any major tournament is to find the best players and allow the teams to auction them, if any associate countries have great players then they will be snatched without any hesitation. The prime example is Rashid Khan who is one of the expensive players in the IPL and he is a hot prospect because of his talent. If there are other talents that would win matches they will be held for auctions irrespective of their nationality.

Australia send their best team that was available and it is their selectors fault if they are not able to send their best team members. Credits should be given to Pakistan as they played their best game after loosing the first ODI and then to come back and win the next two ODI is a great comeback by them. T20 is going to be interesting and i am expecting them to be close matches but Pakistan have the advantage and win the T20 as well.

Congrats on picking Punjab Kings as i did not anticipate them to perform the way they did and Chennai Super Kings was on a two match loosing streak and i was expecting them to change that but it was yet another disappointing performance from Chennai Super Kings and with this loss i do not understand with which team they can compete in this tournament.

Australian Woman will win the World Cup this time as they are dominating every team. The innings of Alyssa Healy the Australian wicket keeper reminded me of the innings of Adam Gilchrist in the World Cup where he attacked everyone and was on a league on its own and with the bowlers Australia is having there is no way any team would chase 356 runs.

To rephrase what you are talking about, everything about the invasion is political and the economic sanctions imposed upon Russia is political and you think that Political war is not a problem for Russia  . FYI everything is politically connected, India and surrounding country is neutral in this scenario because China is supporting Russia and India and surrounding countries cannot stand against them because in an unlikely situation of a war between China and surrounding neighbors, no western country can help them .

Bangladesh was in a great position as they were able to restrict South Africa at a low score and the target is not that big, but they already lost their top three and the match depends upon how long Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das can bat in the final day. If they are planning to go on a defensive mode then South Africa will pack them before the first two sessions but hopefully they will go for the win rather than a defensive play.

I expected Chennai Super Kings to win the match easily but Punjab Kings is batting at 10 per over and exposed the bowling weakness of Chennai Super Kings and only Chris Jordan has bowled a decent couple of overs and Punjab Kings are dealing with sixes as they already smashed 10 sixes and 6 overs left and Punjab already reached 142 and if Chennai can restrict below 200 runs it would be a confidence booster for them and for that they need to pick wickets.

I have said this before,  Jake Paul and Conor McGregor are no way near the weight class of each fighter, Conor McGregor is not a huge fighter and he used to fight at 145 pounds and we can say that he will fit easily in 155 pound division. While Jake Paul is easily 200 pounds and why would anyone want to see the fight with such a huge weight difference .

There are questions that needs to be asked here, do they really make that much money as they claim. Last time Logan Paul complained that Mayweather did not give the promised money and even sent a lawyer notice. Their entire revenue details are not public and hence cannot say much about how much they really make.

You have the answer as the second question, till now no project has launched their metaverse as far as i know or a P2E game like they are saying for years. There are many metaverse projects coming out and it is hard to predict which one will be a success, but one thing is certain that major gaming companies are entering the P2E space and we will see solid games launched in the coming years.

I doubt whether there is any understanding between BCCI and the South African Cricket board like you think. The sole reason they are not stopping the players is because if they put pressure on the players on not to participate in the IPL, then they need to give them a much bigger salary which they are not able to or risk the player announcing the retirement from International Cricket, i guess the later is true.

If the boards restrict the players from participating in the IPL, then they will announce their retirement and focus solely on franchise cricket as they can make a much bigger earning than their national contract and the prime example is AB de Villiers.

Tomorrow we have Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings and even i agree with your assessment that they are one of the weakest team this season and i am expecting Chennai Super Kings to have their first victory tomorrow. Raj Bawa is a young talent and he might be under pressure as he was dismissed in the first game with a LBW on a full toss, may be pressure got the better of him.

What is surprising is that i thought every week ends we have two matches daily but tomorrow there is only one match and that too on a Sunday.

If Dana White does not like a referee he will make sure he will not officiate any event in the UFC, when was the last event Steve Mazzagatti officiated in the UFC, i do not remember him in a very long time and Dana White tagged him as the worst referee and then there is Mario Yamasaki and Dana White had issues with one of the fights where Valentina Shevchenko was beating her opponent badly every round and he was officiating and i do not remember seeing him again in the UFC.

Even last year Yacheslav Kiselev who was officiating was removed from the card after he failed to stop a fight in one of the preliminary fights and he was supposed to officiate later fights but was pulled from the card entirely and he never officiated again for the UFC.

Babar Azam scored his second consecutive century and third consecutive 50 plus score and took Pakistan to a series win and he is the man of the series as well as the man of the match. But all the credits goes to the Pakistan bowlers who were able to trouble the Australian batting line up from the start and did not give any room to build any partnership and restricted them for a small total of 210 runs.

Since you are talking about food shortage, i am curious to know whether you are from Sri Lanka as the country is going through food shortage simply because of the non scientific decisions taken by the government without much thought process and forcing every farmer from inorganic farming to organic farming in a short period of time.

You can start farming to overcome foot shortages and high prices but the limitation depends upon the area you have and since you are talking about wheat, you need a large area to cultivate wheat. If area is not a constraint then you can farm literally anything.

Since you touched history, Mughals were initially invited by a landlord to invade Panipat and defeat the ruling king and Babur defeated Sultan Ibrahim Lodi and made his kingdom, since you mention Muslims, the first mosque in India was built in 629 AD in Kerala and Muhammad Bin Qasim invaded Sindh in 712 AD at a young age of 17 and he died at 20  . I am telling this because if there is a view of Muslims came after the invasion of Muhammad Bin Qasim, that is not true  .

When it comes to Portuguese, Vasco da Gama landed in Kerala for trade and commerce and we invited them and then later invaded parts of India and they are the last to leave India well after the Independence even after the British left in 1961  .

Even British came to India as East India trading company for trade and commerce and later invaded, the common theme is everyone was invited and then they showed their military strength with the support of locals who got favors for helping them.

It is a surprising result as no one would expect Brentford to score 4 goals but i had a feeling that we would see an upset because we have seen a decent amount of upset in the last one month alone and i decided to stay away from placing a bet and i was watching the match and from the beginning of the match i knew something is off with Chelsea and in the second half Chelsea had no answers even though they scored the first goal.

Even i thought Mumbai Indians would bounce back from the first loss and win the match, but it was another disappointment as i picked Mumbai to win and since they were chasing i thought they will win the match but they failed big time to win their second match in a row.

Delhi Capitals is chasing 172 runs and they already lost 3 wickets and i picked Gujarat Titans to win the match and hopefully they can pick wickets in regular interval and put pressure back on them.
