Ashes of late 90s and early 2000s were one sided, as English team was very much weak compared to then world champions Aus. Right now England are ahead of Aus and there is no way we will see one sided test series.  Aus batting is highly dependent on Smith and warner. They both need to perform well to give Aus a chance.
Australia dominated every team for over a decade and this is the first time i am seeing England having a strong team which could give a challenge any team. The greatest Ashes i watches was the 2005 version where Australia was dominating and England being an underdog was able to win really close matches and even then Australia was not having Glenn McGrath in the team due to injury.

Lets see how the series would go and i am expecting a good series than a one sided trashing.

Not sure though if this is a good idea, I think Joshua should really get someone that can really train him with a lot of experience. There has been no reports yet who is going to replace his old trainer Rob McCracken.
What i like about Floyd Mayweather is that, he is willing to train fighters, he was open to train Deontay Wilder for his rematch against Tyson Fury but Deontay Wilder turned down the offer and started talking against Floyd Mayweather and now he is willing to train Joshua, i hope he will be open to that offer as i consider Floyd Mayweather to be the best defensive boxer ever and he could improve their skills.

But I do agree that Joshua strategy will be different in the rematch, he can't just stand there and chase Usyk.
Lets see what strategy is going to prepare for the rematch, i am still rooting for Usyk to win as he is a much better fighter/

Gotta hand it to Fiziev, pulling out that spinning wheel kick...that takes some balls to do. But when it gets pulled off, it's an instant highlight. Also, Aldo is on a mini winning streak. That man is still going strong after going past his prime years (due to the weight calls he's in).
I missed the fight card but after seeing the results, i am surprised that Jose Aldo is still winning fights and he will once again fight for the title and probably win the belt at 135 pound division. Another surprise was Clay Guida still fighting and winning the fight by submission, if i watched the fight i would have placed a bet against him as he is in the fight game for a long time and was on a loosing streak and another fighter is Mickey Gall who had the hype defeated CM Punk and now he is on a loosing streak.

This is why I think "Never sell for a loss" is a myth and we should always use a stop loss and play safe with a good risk to reward strategy.
I do understand what you are trying to say, having a stop loss is a standard procedure when you are trading in any traditional market as the recovery might take a long time, but when it comes to cryptocurrency market, the market can go in either direction and will recover in a short period of time, so i never dare to put a stop loss in cryptocurrency trading, but if you are aware that a major correction is going on then you can sell your coins and wait for the bottom.

Shiba inu may be rise due to recent gaming update. Etherium Whales keep buying Shib which is good sign for Shib.
I think they know something huge is gonna happen with Shiba, maybe another zero cut till the end of december. I bet they're launching a metavarse game soon.
Are you telling that Shiba Inu is planning to come up with a game, i could not find that in their official website regarding the game you are talking about. Anyone who invested during the initial days made a fortune and if you are smart enough you would book your profit and stay happy rather than holding until you see a major correction which is inevitable with a rally like it had.

I am yet to understand their other coins in Shiba Inu, LEASH and BONE as it is limited in nature and what purpose does it serve.

Double ton for Mayank? He likes to score big when he's on song. Already 2 double tons under his belt, for opening slot competition is becoming headache for the selectors.
Mayank Agarwal is the only player who was able to play well in this pitch while all of the other batsman struggled and it is a spin wicket and full credits to Ajaz Patel for creating history by becoming the third player to take 10 wickets in a match and he basically took the wickets for New Zealand but he bowled in a ground that it is his home town as Ajaz Patel is born in Mumbai but that could not help New Zealand as they were all out for double digits.

I am expecting the match to be over by tomorrow unless the Indian players wanted to bat for a much longer period of time.
1647  Economy / Economics / Re: Another One Bites the Dust: Entebbe Int. Airport falls to China's Debt Trap on: December 04, 2021, 08:52:27 PM
The Entebbe International Airport is now reportedly directly taken over by China due to loan default. The only International airport of Uganda, which serves at least 1.9 passengers every year, is the latest victim of China's loan trap.
I did not understand what you mean by the airport servers 1.9 passengers every year, what kind of metric is that  Roll Eyes. When it comes to loan trap, China was offering these loans to many countries and the risk of surrendering them was inevitable if they are not able to follow the terms.

The Ugandan Entebbe International Airport is just one among many countries' national assets that had to be directly forfeited in favor of China due to loan default.

This post-modern way of conquest by China will have to stop! But how?
It is simple, if you took a loan, you must not default the terms, these developing countries was not able to get loans from any central banks globally and China was willing to give them at a premium cost and they know the risk of defaulting and China took the chance knowing they would have a control over a property wherever they invest and they have made billions of investment all over the world especially in Africa and Europe.
1648  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason for the dump in Bitcoin and most of the Altcoin? on: December 04, 2021, 07:46:26 PM
Things were getting better as we were expecting a pump in the value of bitcoin but it was dropped by over 10%. Is it just the usual December pulback or it is here to stay I mean a long bearish run? How are you preparing for a possible bull trap and now even if it was temoprary it might take some for the market due to fud.
I am not sure what is the general perception regarding a major correction at this point but the basic reason is that the institutional investors are booking their profit and it is not a big surprise as they are here in the market to make their profit and when you hear that they were investing billions in the market, you should expect them to book their profit as well and that is what we are seeing and it is not because of any FUD that we saw a correction now.
1649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Your Expectation About Polygon (MATIC) Token for 2022 on: December 04, 2021, 07:14:16 PM
I think if polygon (Matic) continue his momentum just like his previous I am sure that it will be around 10$ to 20$ because we know that its has his own blockchain and many new project adopting thier blickchain and run thier project on them.and one thing is more that nft marketplace also work on polygon network
As long as Ethereum is struggling to find a solution to sort their fees, projects like Polygon will gain more popularity and i really think that it is a really underrated project considering how it can be implemented to any Ethereum projects with ease and their token price is below $2 which is really crazy considering Ethereum is rallying over $4k and their transaction fees is over $200 if you are purchasing any NFT.
1650  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is getting more bearish, what is the trigger? on: December 04, 2021, 05:48:08 PM
We can see that there is a bearish channel pattern in bitcoin and this is Bitcoin's current position, which is already in a bearish phase. Before there is a breakout of the resistance, the current Bearish will continue to occur.

If you want to invest or trade, it's better to be careful because the potential price towards the $40k level is still possible.
I am a bit surprised that we had a major correction at the beginning of the month and it is really interesting how the market would perform in the next few days, will we see a recovery or we will see further correction because the major reason for the correction is institutional investors booking their profit and i saw that coming but not this early and how they are going to continue is a puzzling question for me and if they keep on selling we might go below $40k as well.

I still feel bad about what Smith underwent. He lost one year of his international career, when his form was at the peak (Warner as well). But what Smith did was something that a lot of people do. Instead of using saliva or sweat, he used sandpaper.
I am not sure if everyone playing International cricket in the last decade would think about anything like that when hundreds of camera is capturing every move you make and if Smith and Warner was foolish enough to be not aware of that and if anyone did that they will be embarrassed like them. The punishment was excessive but CA is moving away from the aggressive game play for a long time and may be that is the reason they got the harsh punishment.

The case with Tim Paine is entirely different. The ICC or Cricket Australia has nothing to do with this topic. It is his personal issue and he needs to deal with it. Having an affair outside marriage is not breaking any of the ICC rules, as far as I know.
Having an affair outside marriage is not breaking any rules and regulation, but sending nude picture to random girls is an offense  Cheesy. Consider how harsh the punishment of Smith and Warner for scratching with sandpaper, sending nude picture is a worst offense Cheesy.

This is in relation to Indonesia's national Islamic council's declaration of Bitcoin as haram or forbidden. The reason being is that Bitcoin is said to have the elements of uncertainty and wagering.
What about the other Islamic countries viewing this new market, i am sure there will be resistance at first because they cannot comprehend the evolving technology and there are other Islamic countries in the world and i am waiting to hear their position on the cryptocurrency market, whether they will also come with with the same conclusion or a split decision  Grin.
1653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you invest in new projects? on: December 03, 2021, 09:57:28 PM
Yes I think now a days people are showing their most interest in METAVERSE tokens. That giving so much profit within a short time. I invested some of money in blokotopia , even in ATLAS,. Hopefully they will give me a good profit. Even you can
Buy some ETH in deep because it is breaking it's ATH every day . Now a days gaming projects are highlighted . So these are also better option for earn a good profit
There is a lot of hype in the Metaverse tokens but not all projects are rallying like you expect, there are a certain coins that are rallying a lot and it is due to their marketing and the hype they were able to generate.

ETH is breaking all time highs and because of that reason i will not be investing in them as the correction is always a possibility. If you already hold the coins, then you can take positions but investing now is always a high risk.

It wont be a disgrace. As an exhibition fight, it wont go into record and in time people will forget about this scripted match. Also no one would complain if they saw its is scripted. Organizers promised show - spectators got it. Spectators wanted to see their idols - they got it. Besides, they can do exhibition match rules like in a fight Logan vs Floyd. There will be no judges for the exhibition + No official winner will be read at the end of the match.[/url]. Just step into the ring, marathon every round and you are not a loser Cheesy
The purpose of exhibition fights is to overcome the standard Queensbury Rules which is a common norm in professional boxing, which means they can set up their own rules and majority of the fights are conducted to be a spectacle and to make money but that does not necessarily mean a scripted match because the odds makers are accepting a bet on the match and if it is scripted it is a criminal offense.

So logically none of the promoters will allow that to happen, the rules are clear before the bout, no winners if it goes to the decision, winner can only be determined if there is a knockout and that is the standard followed in all the exhibition fights.

Jadeja also struggling with forearm injury
I was wondering why he was dropped as he was in the team even at the expense of Ashwin and when the team was announced i was wondering what really happened and now i have the clarity Cheesy.
 
SL vs WI : Windies need 297 runs to win
I though the match would end up in a draw, because they were playing decently for the second and third wicket and odds were really high for Sri Lanka to win and then the collapse started which i really missed watching and by evening when i saw the scoreboard i was surprised to see that West Indies collapsed to 132 runs as they were 90 for 2 when i stopped watching the match.

This award has long been discredited, I think few professionals or even just those who are fond of watching football take it seriously. This is part of marketing, politics - it has nothing to do with objectivity. If you look at the winners, you might think that in football there are practically no great defenders or goalkeepers - almost all the awards are taken by the strikers.
That is a legit point, almost all the winners are strikers. The problem is that it is hard to quantify how a defender helped during a match and how many balls he was able to tackle from the opponent but the number of goals scored will be always remembered.

If the award winner was selected earlier Robert Lewandowski would be the winner and the award board should have given to him because Messi already won them multiple times and for the longest time Messi and CR7 is sharing the trophy for years.

Currently, the best thing both test matches wide open for any team specially now New Zealand is having some good time they have 90 overs 280 runs with 9 wickets in hand even it's not easy for any team to bat against Indian spinners on fifth day in India but still good competition between both quality teams.
Bangladesh vs Pakistan It's also still wide open tomorrow first session is very important if Pakistani bowlers take some early wickets then surely they will have some better chance because any target less than 150 is good for them but still Bangladesh batting can give them surprise.
Pakistan can still fight and win the match, all they need to do is restrict Bangladesh as soon as possible and chase something below 200 runs and they have the batsman that are good playing against the spin.

When it comes to New Zealand they are not known to play spin very well especially in Asian conditions and hence it is a huge task for them to face spin the entire day and go for the win. From what i predict, they will play positive cricket and if wickets starts falling and the pitch is horrible to bat, then they will try to play defensively and it will create problems to some of the batsman.
1658  Economy / Economics / Re: 2.5 million US truckers say they'll quit over vaccine mandate on: November 28, 2021, 07:50:08 PM
I suppose it hinges upon whether truckers in 2021 are considered skilled or unskilled labor. Would a 2.5 million chunk of the workforce quitting create a vacuum which could easily be filled. The term independent contractors used to describe the trucking industry. Is often used to describe employment conditions that do not fit the label. Mixed martial artists in the UFC and pro wrestlers in WWE are both considered independent contractors. With a great deal of controversy surrounding the terminology and whether it is apt.
It is not just the truckers that are quitting over the vaccine mandate, government officials all over the US are quitting their job including police officers, army, fire fighters are so on and it will create a chaos that can be seen only in movies like purge. The idea behind independent contracts is that they are not getting a monthly or annual salary, WWE wrestlers are getting paid annually and hence they cannot be termed as independent contracts as they work over 250 to 300 days a year, but that is not the case with MMA fighters, they only get paid when they fight and if they decide to take a break for years, they can do so.

Basically when you are paid during your working hours and not contracted to an annual salary you are an independent contractor.


The only thing for certain is, Elon Musk is working somewhere to build trucks with no steering wheels that are robot driven.

Perhaps 2.5 million departing truckers will give Elon the vacuum he needs to push his robot truck drivers. That could rank in the top 5 of the most predictable things happening atm. As crazy as it may sound.
I doubt, AI trucks will be in the roads in the near future, but in the next few years it will be a reality as Elon and team are working on it.

I pardon to differ here, no cricket board is independent entity. Every board is controlled and monitored by government bodies. So its not true to say that BCCI is independent entity. India is not playing with Pakistan even before 26/11 attack, if you see current government stance they have zero tolerance towards Pakistan. IPL franchise and BCCI not allowing Pakistan is just because of Indian government pressure. Franchises will love to involve Pakistani players as they have world class T20 players.
The government did intervene India having any cricket series after the terrorist attacks and from what i remember only cricket is barred and the rest of the sporting events are taking place as usual between the two countries. BCCI is an independent body just like any other sporting body. For example New Zealand cricket board was willing to travel Pakistan and they were in the ground but the government called the players back citing security reason.

So any sporting body representing a country can be dictated by the government policy but the functioning is independent of government intervention.

I don't know what on earth made this married man lure towards a 47 years old woman. He just destroyed his cricket career with these non-sense messages. In this article its written then woman complained about this issue in 2017 before resigning from her job but nobody paid any attention to her complain. Now all of sudden this issue popped up and seems like she will get justice this time.
I am yet to read about the case and i am not sure whey there were no active action against him about her complaint in 2017, even during the Me Too movement this should have come to light and that did not happen and now the Woke movement is active and they are looking to cancel each and everyone and they might have digged the history and Australia is also riding that wave. Lets see how it goes and and by sending a nude pic his career will be over.
