So ultimately the cricket leagues like IPL and PSL choose their players from well-known national teams. As we can see that cricket is a game which is played with the national team more than league teams, the number of nations playing cricket needs to increase as soon as possible.
The IPL is scouting players from domestic leagues all around the globe and a performance in the IPL will give them a call up to their national team. Sunil Narine and David Miller are a few players that had a long stay in their national team due to their performance in the IPL. There are a lot of players that are in the Indian team that are solely selected due to their performance in the IPL.
1422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT's are not a good investment, better get out ASAP on: February 20, 2022, 07:24:55 PM
NFT's are unique pictures stored on a Blockchain and it gave a big hype around NFT's so far.

But please do your own research what is a NFT. It is just a picture stored on a blockchain and every day new pictures are launched.
It is not really scarce when always new collections are launched.
NFT is not just pictures you can store in the blockchain. You can store music, words anything and the options are much bigger. Always go for licensed NFT from artist which are rare and there are projects that launches NFT that can be used in the metaverse and can be used in the games they launch. So it is much bigger than what you think about them.

The hype died down, but good projects will always shine in the future.

it doesn't matter who comes first. currently, the utilization of what was developed by BSC also comes from the development carried out by ethereum. not even only BSC, some other networks do it too.
It is a fact that BSC chain is an exact replica of ETH, i am not sure about other networks that copied the same source code because i never checked them, but i think Solana is built for scratch.

but we have to understand the current situation. the utilization of the BSC in trading on the crypto market is smoother and busier. maybe it is related to the more expensive cost of ethereum. but after all every system and product. must have had their heyday.
Yes the reason other networks are gaining momentum is because of the scaling issues of Ethereum and this is the best opportunity for other networks to gain a good foothold in the market. BSC is doing that with their influence they have and some of the other chains have gained a lot of supporters as well.

India playing with a young team in the third T20 against West Indies and still winning the match by a good margin. I was watching the first 8 overs of the match and i did not expect them to score above 180 runs but Suryakumar Yadav played a really great innings along with Venkatesh Iyer and the young talents are showing up every now and then and hopefully they will get matches consistently rather than once in a full moon.
1425  Economy / Economics / Re: What economic sanctions will US impose on Russia on: February 20, 2022, 12:00:45 AM
Kamala Harris (US Vice President) making some statement on the Russia and Ukraine problem said US and her aligns will impose unprecedented economic sanction on Russia if they continue to evade or attack Ukraine. So I'm wondering what kind of unprecedented economic sanction can be given to Russia if they continue to evade Ukraine.
US is building this narrative for a long time and they even set a timeline on when the war would begin as if they are like forecasting a war  Cheesy. The same narrative they used when US was planning to invade Iraq that they have deadly weapons and the media spread those propaganda for weeks and then all of a sudden they pack their bags and set foot on Iraq and destroyed that country basically and could not find any weapon.

US had imposed sanctions in Russia for decades and the narrative continues, in the past two decade how many countries Russia invaded and destroyed and US invaded and destroyed will give you the real picture what is going on, even the Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked US to stop escalating issues which are not present in his country and still the US media is running around claiming that a war is inevitable  Cheesy.

Twitter have once again refreshed it's tipping feature with the addition of ethereum to it. Users need to enable the tipping feature and add an ethereum address. The Bitcoin tipping happens through lightning network. There is no much details regarding the ethereum tipping process. As of now this service is available on iOS and Android devices.
Not the best time for Twitter to add Ethereum to tip users, they will need to wait years to make use of that coins because of the much higher transactions, unless and until Twitter honor the withdrawal fees, then there is nothing much to worry but i doubt they will be taking the huge burden because the fees are crazy high. They should have done a better research before adding Ethereum for tipping  Cheesy.

The Indian women's cricket team is not performing badly but I think is actually getting overshadowed by the bigger events like IPL and men's cricket. And BCCI has a really good flow of money from the men's cricket. So, I think even they are not that interested in promoting women's cricket right now.
The Women cricketers are really skilled and they have some incredible players but as a fan how many series do you watch and how many matches have you watched till now. The problem is that they have no attracted the masses to attract the advisers that converts to money. Until then their counterparts will over shadow them.

I use to watch Women's T20 world cup and i see them entertaining but i doubt i am able to watch the longer version.

It means now they change their minds, and they are feeling sorry about their decision so in future we are going to have all home series in Pakistan just few crap mind peoples still having doubt about these tours but most chances these all will be clear in next few days.
Since players are happy to travel to Pakistan for the PSL they can travel with their national teams as well. Australia will be touring them and i am sure that tour will go ahead and the rest of the countries will follow that and hopefully we will not see any unfortunate incidents like they had in the past and they will have proper security safeguarding the players.

This is the better choice for India, they are going to do quite well against Sri Lanka with this squad. And I also like that they went with experience over talent. At the moment I think that the experiment that they were doing are over and they are back to their best squad. I trust this squad to do great in the series.
If they had this team when they toured South Africa it would have been interesting, Sri Lanka is not a tough opponent to have a packed squad.

On the other hand women Indian team players are allowed to take part on BBL and The hundred. It's only men who can't play anywhere else.
PSL is very small league as compared to IPL, so it won't be too much attractive for Indian players as they now are used to million of usd for every auction.
It's not good for the game that countries decide themselves that with whom they will play ?
The Indian Women players are not making the same amount of money the men's cricketers are earning and hence they are allowed to play in any league they want and they do not have a tight schedule like men cricket players. The problem is, if there is no set rules to restrict the players from taking part in leagues around the globe, you will not see any bilateral series or domestic tournaments and certainly the ICC or any cricket boards would not want that to happen.

"Since February 2020, approximately 1,000 cryptocurrencies have been pronounced dead, deceased and no more, with the total death count now standing at about 2400 coins. This equates to an increase of about 71%!
I was surprised with the small count as there is huge number of projects that vanished with billions of dollars collected from investors and then noticed since February of 2020 just 1000 cryptocurrencies are pronounced dead and how many billions lost in the process. Even with such a high failure rate people stick take risk in investing in these projects looking for a quick profit.
1431  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will competitors overcome ETH due to ever-increasing gas fees? on: February 18, 2022, 09:37:22 PM

 But the question is when will it definitely take place? Because this has been the users' problem in the previous years and up to the present, and until now there are still no definite time when will developers can fix it. Yes, they have come up with rebranding which tends to make ethereum more useful from its users but the main problem which is to reduce the gas fees which is until now not given a good solution.
Do they really have a solution for the high gas fees, i doubt they already have one nor a time frame when that would be solved, if they already have a solution, they would have implemented that because they were really vocal when the transaction fees of BTCitcoin were rising in the past and was mocking us, so they better find a solution ASAP or other networks will have a share of the userbase which they already have as many projects moved to multiple chains.

Instead of focusing on replacing Fiat, we should focus on making crypto land a better place. All that matters is decentralization and censorship-resistance. As long as this is achieved, people will be able to truly enjoy financial freedom. Just my thoughts Grin
We already proved that BTCitcoin is the most powerful tool against censorship and resistance from the government. If a government targets you by freezing the funds you move to BTCitcoin and there is nothing they can do if you are using non custodial wallets. Financial freedom can be achieved if it is used for global trade, if you are able to trade on a global scale without borders then you achieve financial freedom.

South Africa is all out for 95 runs, i was not aware it was a Test match and New Zealand is already leading by 101 runs and there is no chance for a comeback by South Africa in this match because of their pathetic performance in the first innings. Matt Henry took 7 wickets and that is his best performance till date and this is just the second day and it looks like the match will be over by the 4th day.

value, that's the benchmark why I prefer bitcoin over ETH,
where bitcoin deserves to be a long-term investment, with an increasing value even though sometimes the correction stage makes the heart cry seeing the red candle burning like a raging bull
If value alone is a benchmark then you will be crying your heart out on a fortnight basis because it is a highly volatile market and the market moves in either direction in a short period of time Tongue.

Going with the underlying technology right now BTCitcoin is a store of value and ETH is a unbearable token as it became a useless commodity after the higher transaction fees. In every aspect i am always with BTCitcoin.

N Srinivasan openly threatened Suresh Raina after he withdrew from the IPL last year. So it was not surprising to see CSK not bidding for him. But I don't know why the other franchises refused to bid for him. Why they are acting like a cabal? With Indian players in great demand this time around (even Karun Nair attracted a bid of 140 lakh INR), it was surprising to see a player with such a good record in the IPL going unsold. Raina is just 35 years old and I believe that he still has 3-4 years of prime cricket left with him.
Suresh Raina is still playing cricket because CSK was selecting him and once he withdrew from the tournament after reaching UAE they made the decision to exclude him from bidding and none of the teams want him because he is not playing cricket actively and he only plays the IPL once a year and his fitness is a big issue and on top of that his asking price is high.

Media job is to create hype and its not limited to India and Pakistan, see the role of global media in pandemic they only spread news that has spice in it. In any of the ICC event, Pakistan India match is the most electrified match perhaps more important than then the final. ICC must step in and made it compulsory for both countries to play bilateral series.
As a cricket fan even though i do not watch all the matches now due to time constraints, i will make sure i get to watch if India and Pakistan are playing, but there is no way ICC is going to interfere in this issue as they never did in the past and i do not see that changing either.


~
Forget about any bilateral series between these two nations for the next  20 years at least. The political spectrum in both India and Pakistan has moved very hard to the right and extreme voices are having complete dominance as of now. As per the scheduling, India was supposed to visit Pakistan one and half decades back, but they pulled out citing border clashes and terror attacks. The ICC has adopted a neutral stance on this matter, saying that the two countries should resolve the differences amicably.
Why next 20 years, you think the right wing extreme skilless imbeciles will be ruling for the next two more decades. Oh god i never think so,  i will be surprised if they will be able to regain power during the next elections, you can fool people for a while with the gimmicks but not all the time.

Tai Tuivasa used to train with Mark Hunt with both being native australians. Mark Hunt said Tai Tuivasa hits the hardest out of everyone he fought or trained with.
Even during one of the recent interviews when asked who is the hardest puncher he faced, he said Mark Hunt and he was the punching bag for Mark Hunt for years and when asked about his granite chin he said it is genetically coconut heads throughout his family Cheesy.

~
Tai Tuivasa training at AKA (American Kickboxing Academy) was to work on his wrestling and grappling game.

AKA is full of good wrestlers like Daniel Cormier, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Cain Velasquez and has many of the dagestani wrestlers making a name for themselves in the UFC.

Its usually hard for heavyweights to find good sparring partners to work on their wrestling and grappling with. Being able to train with high level athletes in the same weight division is a big advantage for heavyweights.
After the three consecutive losses he moved completely from Australia and moved to AKA and now he is doing his fight camps in Dubai. He said he was not taking it seriously like a professional should be as he will be out with friends drinking and partying all the time and only during fight camps he used to do any serious sparring and the losses changed his focus completely and the changes are incredible as he only needs a couple of fights to get a title shot.

To me Blaydes is the biggest challenge for Tuivasa. I thought when Lewis knocked out Blaydes we are somewhat lucky to do so, as I just saw Blaydes controlling the fight if he could get close with his wrestling, and it'll be interesting to see how Tui handles that. If he can handle that, and knock out Blaydes, then I'll be fully supporting him to take the title off of Ngannou despite that being a rather large mountain to conquer. I just love a underdog story, and considering Tui was cut from the UFC once upon a time, it's nice to see him not only winning again, but amounting a serious challenge to the bigger fighters. Also, he has the fans on his side which I believe is half the battle.
Curtis Blaydes is a serious challenge to all the Heavyweight fighters as he is an accomplished wrestler, the major difference i see in the game plan of Tai Tuivasa is that he is following the game plan rather than swinging wild like he used to.

I was not aware Tai Tuivasa was cut from the UFC, he was always a fan favorite even after three losses in a row i remember they kept him and even scheduled a fight against Jarjis Danho but was later scrapped.

so I think it is a little something of a psychological thing that is ingrained in their brain. Pakistan has produced some good spin bowlers over the years but in any other country of the subcontinent we see a lot of spin bowlers but not in Pakistan. Here we have the Wannabe Shoaib Akhtar’s.
Imran Khan can be said to be the main reason for the love affair of pace bowling in Pakistan and then they had Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis along with players like Aaqib Javed and the street cricket produces more players and in the streets you need to defeat the batsman with pace and if you are a slow bowler you will be taken apart and may be that is the reason everyone wants to bowl fast and exceptional bowlers get selected to domestic and other levels.

For example in the case of Waqar Younis, who started as a leg spinner but turned to fast bowling and Imran Khan found him playing for clubs and he fast tracked his career in the international level and he was not having much experience playing domestic cricket either when he was picked for Pakistan team, either you need a great captain who can identify talents and have the time to travel the nation to find talents to fast track them or the players need to work hard through the system and gets identified.

I have found a car showroom that claimed that it has the biggest collection of cars. All brands are available here. Book your favorite car in 0.09WETH with one click without any documentation. And let’s drive in the world of metaverse
Lexus, Kia, Tesla, Dodge, Challenger, Citroen, Hummer Renault, SUV, Land Rover, Electric car, Lamborghini, Range rover, Volvo, Rolls Royce, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Sedan, sports car, Bugatti, ford, cardillac, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche, Toyota, Ferrari, Honda, Toyota.
All popular brands are available here.
Book your favorite car without any documentation. Let’s drive together.
The problem is do they have any license to create something and benefit off from other companies brand names and designs. I bet it is illegal because there is no way anyone would get a license from every car company out there to create a NFT for each and every car they made and make a profit.

It is better not to get involved in anything which is not legal because those NFT will not be worth anything if those car companies files a legal complaint against the team who created them.

Anything is possible and especially in heavyweight, one good one and it can be over.
32 fights and no one was able to defeat him and his opponents were not bumps like he always says but those fighters who were considered the best during that period of time when they fought Tyson Fury and now was able to land that good one .

Fury is very easy to hit on the left hook and Dillian Whyte has a great left hook. Actually I prefer Fury, but I have to admit Whyte is also not an easy opponent because he is a patient fighter and a fighter full of emotions and wild usually easily loses to a patient one because it doesn't drain and he just waits for the right time.
and whoever wins is the best and being the favorite doesn't always win depending on the opponent.
Tyson Fury is the best Heavy Weight boxer of all time, a man who could move like a lighter weight fighter even at 6 feet 9 inch and he finds a way to win the fight somehow is a talent in itself. All the legendary greatest boxers had losses in their career but it looks like Tyson Fury could end up being undefeated when he hangs his career. Will see if that left hook will land in the face of Tyson, i bet there is no way that is going to land.
