I am really glad to see Bangladesh winning the match while touring South Africa, i remember someone throwing a shade on Bangladesh in this chat about they are a really weak team and now they even surprised me with their performance and Shakib Al Hasan just proved his worth with his bat and then bowling the opening over and it was a good strategy and hopefully we will see more competitive matches like this in this series.

As long as other countries, most known being Germany, keep buying gas and oil from Russia, I'm not convinced that India will care that much about all this. India can easily point fingers and shrug. They'll probably need something more palpable from the richer guys - either a better offer, either some clearer threats - in order to get to care.
China, India and UAE were notable for not voting against Russia resolution and you still think that India is thinking that they can put the blame on Europe especially Germany for getting the oil then you are simplifying the political situation that is ongoing  Cheesy.

Unfortunately the countries and politicians are not as nice, good-willing and united as we'd like to believe. Everybody goes for his own interest as long as it doesn't look so bad to the others, and sometimes even if it looks bad it doesn't matter.
That is politics, if other countries can provide a better deal for the oil be it OPEC or the US they will procure from them, i am no way supporting the right wing government in India but there is a history between India and Russia during a war when US was supporting Pakistan and Russia literally saved India by blocking US in getting involved during the 1971 war. India cannot survive fighting China and Russia, so everything is political and strategical.

After very long disconnection Pakistan is having good team at home, so obviously they deserve some advantage and favour for these things but now as we are going into third test in Lahore reports are coming curator is already in Lahore from Australia for final preparation, and they already announce they will work in this way as well because now things are normal, and they have few big teams coming in Pakistan for more cricket which mean more revenue and more fans and entertaining cricket which is possible only with supportive conditions and pitches.
Am i reading this correctly, are you telling that the curators from Australia will be preparing the wickets for the series in Pakistan, what kind of rule is that, the home team can take the decision on what pitches they prepare and i am confused why they would allow others to prepare the wickets.

With this all still this second test have very good and interesting end as Australia having 170 overs but still not able to win this match which is also having many questions about their ability from few legendary Australian cricketers, hopefully next match will give some good cricket.
I hope we will see a good wicket that would help the bowlers, we saw plenty of runs scored in both the matches and every batsman who had the patience improved their average, i really hope we see a good wicket in the third Test.

SA-W is most underrated team before this WC. They have played 4 matches so far and yet to lose any match. While NZ and England who were hot favorite have not an ideal tournament so far. In my view Aus along with WI and SA are three strong candidate for the semis.
Even i do accept that South African woman were underrated before the world cup started. They won many matches chasing and those chases looked really close but they always end up winning and i just checked their record chasing and they have won 13 out of 15 matches chasing and one ended in a no result and another tie which is a great record chasing down victories and if i knew this stats earlier i would have bet on them Cheesy.

After Alexander Zverev lost, now came the turn to Medvedev to leave early, the two of them were one of the favorites to win the the title, now Nadal is the favorite to win it, but I somehow doubt it, he played a lot of tournaments on a high level back to back he could get exhausted after some time so I don't think he's going to be the champion of Indian wells, maybe we'll see a new young champion like Jannik Sinner.
Rafael Nadal is the favorite, but the matches he had was making my heart pound if you are placing a bet on his match, in the match against Sebastian Korda which i thought was an easy match, the second set was a wash and even the third set, i thought Sebastian Korda is going to win until Rafael Nadal pushed through and finally won the match. Even today the start was not that great and then he came back into that mode and won the match.

Uncomfortable? How exactly? Also, they already posted a lead greater than 400 runs currently which is why you aren't making any sense here. This is just another boring one sided test match basically.
Three days left in this match and there is nothing Sri Lanka can do to save this match, they need 419 runs to win the match and with the team they are having and they pitch they are playing it will be a huge surprise if they could bat the third day, it is a matter of time that Sri Lanka would fold with the way the pitch is behaving and i am not expecting the match to go to the 4th day.

As we see usdt is best for using it world wide best liqutity no volatility and no regulations lets keep one thing holy in this world holy treasure as USDT its true valued asset you can hold it wallet and it has good privacy.
Looks like you are trusting USDT too much and you think it is the resolution for all the economic struggles on a global scale  Cheesy. You need to understand USDT is simply said to be pegged by USD and what happens if the value of USD goes down and another controversy is that they are not pegged 100% by fiat and there is no transparency on that aspect either and if a government wants to ban them, they can do so easily.

The problem is that whenever there is a movement from one of the early wallets prior to 2011, the rumor of Satoshi coins moving make the rounds in the media and we have seen that time and again. The fact is there were many users mining the coins during those period and it could be anyone who was holding them and never moved their coins to a new wallet.

The fact is, other than the genesis block and a few early block no one has any idea what are the wallet Satoshi was holding and there is no way to predict whether he kept on mining even after his disappearance from the forum or public space.

Pakistan should have won this match. It was a close match but luck was not at our side. With this loss, Pakistan has lost 3 match and still sits at the bottom of the table with lowest run rate of -1.274.
On the other hand, India is showing some good performances and they crushed the West Indies Women team with 157 runs win. They are on the top of the table surprisingly.
It was a really close match between Pakistan Woman and South African Woman and i they had a partnership going they would have won the match. The lost wickets in succession, 1 and second wicket and then they lost 4th and 5th wicket in quick succession which was crucial in the match and yet the tail end took the game closer.

Indian Woman won the match by a huge margin against West Indies Woman.

Today we have Australia woman and New Zealand Woman and i am going with Australia to win the match but i expect we will see a competitive match.

Magomed Ankalaev is a Russian but he is fighting. I guess ban lifted already?
The UFC will not play politics and they never said they will be banning Russian fighters. There are many critics out there calling for the boycott of the UFC if they do not ban Russian fighters but i doubt Dana White will listen to those and if there is a visa issue with Russian fighters in the fighters they will move the card to UAE and all of the events in the UAE were a grand success.

This decision alone in blocking social media sites would make the economy go even worse in my opinion!

I don’t know what would be your opinion about this guys. It pains me to be honest, as I’ve already felt what they’re feeling right now in getting isolated from the world.
I am not sure how blocking of social media will make an impact on the Russian economy. The reason for the blockage might be that all the propaganda and the information can be shared easily with these social media platforms and they wanted to curb that freedom during the time of a war. The fact is we can overcome this blockage with proxies and VPN and now a days everyone uses them to overcome these restrictions.

I have watched some interviews on youtube with EFC new fighters, and often they say that Khabib addressed them personally and negotiate everything. Did you know such fighter as Alexander "Storm" Shlemenko ? He is very experienced and popular in Russia. Khabib signed him to EFC through 5min phone call or by several questions Cheesy But I agree that there are lot of people who assist him with management.
Rizvan Magomedov is the manager of Khabib Nurmagomedov that handles everything in Russia and his MMA camps and he is one of the owners for his Eagle Fighting Championship and in the US Ali Abdelaziz takes care of everything and he has a group of people around him that can move things in the MMA space and obviously the respect factor Khabib Nurmagomedov has in the MMA community.  

As far as I know, Umar trains and lives mostly in Russia, but had camp in US in AKA gym, together with Makhachev and co. Dont know Khabibs timetable, but everytime I see Makhachev, or other Dagestan fighters train, they train in AKA and Khabib is always around there.
Khabib Nurmagomedov handles all the fighters from Dagestan even if they train in AKA and if any of the fighters have a fight lined up he will be in the gym helping them out.

Drake is a match for stake, not only his name is rhymed to the company but he has the addiction to gambling. He is known for he's massive amount of bets, throwing money into it. I don't know if it just a rich kind of attitude, most of them are, throwing money like it is unlimited, while I am having goosebumps when betting more than a hundred dollars
That was a good rhyme about Stake and Drake  Cheesy, i did not notice that rhyming and it is a public knowledge that Drake is an avid gambler and he will place bets above one hundred thousand to half a million bets and one of the bets that became public, he really won that bet and the loss was the UFC bet he made recently in the Jorge Masvidal v Colby Covington fight and he went with the underdog and he lost around quarter of a million.
1374  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: March 11, 2022, 11:19:12 PM
It seems that the previous thread when Drake made huge bets on the Super Bowl at the Stake Casino has been continued:
So the huge bet and the leak of the betslip was planned by Stake or you approached him after seeing that he was able to create a lot of buzz once his betslip was public and as a favor the stake team accepted him as their business partner.

What i would like to hear is that, what are the perks Drake will be getting for being a partner and will he be getting better odds than before because the gambling habits of Drake is not a huge secret Cheesy.

England batsman are playing very well now in the second innings. They have already taken a lead of 82 runs by losing 1 wicket only. I thought the pitch will be helpful for the bowlers from today, but it is now in favour of the batsman. Most probably this match will end as a draw without any hard contest between the two teams. Now the betting odds for the draw is 1.2× only.
England top order is playing well in the second innings and Zak Crawley scored a century and even Joe Root is batting well and he could reach his century as well but the fourth day is over and there is not much time left in this match and England is only leading by 153 runs and they will try to score a lead over 250 runs and then ask West Indies to chance them if they want to make things interesting, but this match will end up in a draw.

Must Russia (Putin) remain adamant in proving to the world its ability and last resort?
At the end of the day the common citizen will suffer because of the actions of the politicians. All these sanctions and now disabling of master card visa and other payment transaction, you think that the government will have a huge issue, the government already have an alternative with the help of Chinese government and its banking system but the common citizen will be affected with these restrictions.

I am supporting Anonymous because they are not attacking the common man but hacking government institutions, that is what anonymous always did and will always do in the future.

I think the favorites for the last four spots being India, Australia, England, and New Zealand seem to be right. But after the close wins of West Indies women, I think they might show some surprise in the tournament. For the other teams, unless they are playing cricket regularly they are not going to improve.
West Indies can be the black horse of this tournament, i lost a huge bet placing a bet on New Zealand even though the odds were really low, i just added them in a huge parlay expecting them to be an easy bet as New Zealand was a good team and i messed up big time as West Indies was able to defeat New Zealand and i just wish i never placed a bet on that match.

If they fail then surely they can face another defeat which could be the worst for them as West Indies is also very poor team right now. Just before end of today Lawrence take second wicket of his career as he removes Bonner.
I was also not expecting West Indies to take a lead in the first innings, but Nkrumah Bonner played one of the slowest innings i have seen in a very long time and the team to a good position. Checked out the profile of Nkrumah Bonner and he usually plays this slow but this is the first time i am seeing him play and to have a strike rate of 35 in 16 innings was surprising  Cheesy.

Recently I was reading that he had never been good against India, so this is also acceptable because when he was on top in India we have some greatest batsmen those were great in playing spin, and they have great time with their technique at home which give them this disadvantage.
It is true that Shane Warne had a hard time playing against India, he made his debut against India and Ravi Shastri scored a double century in that match and he never had a great time playing against India. The next time he toured India, Sachin Tendulkar was in his prime form and it was a great battle and Sachin Tendulkar took Shane Warne and he won the series against Australia when they were literally defeating every other country.

For Russia's war with Ukraine, the west put heavy sanctions on Russia. That means export and import with Russia is not accessible. Data shows Russia is the biggest exporter of raw materials like copper, aluminum, nickel, platinum, palladium, etc which is used in chip making. That means we are expecting more delays in the semiconductor industry. We all know how important this staff is to run electronic devices. Disruption on-chip shortages could spike the price of digital devices too which affects globally. Is that a good idea to push Russia out of the world economy? This sanction of the west could have a boomerang effect?
The sanctions and the war will have have a rippling affect and if the statement above is true, the semiconductor industry will be suffering once again especially the automobile industry who was struggling with semi conductors in the past two years will undergo the same situation once again which means the entire sector will be struggling to match the user demands and production of cars and the funny thing is that it will affect US drastically as well.
