Tom Latham was unlucky to miss his hundred by 2 runs but his knock has made a valuable contribution to New Zealand total. 336 will really test Pakistan batting lineup capability. We saw Pakistan chasing 349 against Australia last year when they visited Pakistan last year. New Zealand have done the home work after losing first ODI, they figured out that to win an ODI batting first you must give a target of oved 300 runs. That's exactly what they have done today.
Even though Tom Latham missed his century, he along with Daryl Mitchell took New Zealand to a good total but with the way the pitch is behaving without much assistance to the bowlers it is going to be difficult to defend as Pakistan could chase the total as they already had a good start and if New Zealand is not able to pick wickets and put pressure on Pakistan, they will be able to chase them.

What are you talking about?! Who told you that nonsense?  Roll Eyes
Guys are waiting in line to fight Ngannou, I wrote few days ago that Floyd Mayweather publicly said that he wants to make a deal with him.
Nobody needs Dana White junky, there is no need to force any fights, and Ngannou doesnt have to beg him for food.
There is no debate about the fight purse the UFC and Dana White offered but Francis Ngannou wanted to venture into boxing which the UFC does not approve. He is yet to sign with any major leagues and Bellator already said they cannot match the UFC purse and PFL agreed to the terms but he is yet to sign a deal and OneFC is also showing interest but it is highly unlikely they will sign him with all the demands.

There is a speculation that a major Heavyweight Boxing tournament is set to take place this year which includes Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder and if that is the case Francis Ngannou is left out without a major opponent in Boxing this year which means he needs to wait another year and age is not in his side.

In a hypothetical situation if PFL or OneFC signs Francis Ngannou who will be the big money fight and there is no way he will be able to draw big money if he is facing any unknown opponent in Boxing either apart from the big 3 in Tyson Fury, Joshua or Wilder.

For me though, I'm not surprised, we are still the bear market, although it seems that majority of the coins are bouncing back, I still one big reason for the sudden downfall of the NFT market is the obvious bearish trend.
The hype behind NFT market has subsided and the projects that started releasing the sporting NFT are not unique either as they started collaborating with different projects and hence you cannot expect the same valuation and hence anyone who purchased them thinking that that it would be unique will not be getting the same valuation and with issues like that, it is highly unlikely the project token will rally either.

If this target was 20 more runs I don't think Pakistan would have got the win. This was the first match of the ODI series. So, Pakistan will have to be consistent. At least it feels like the batting problem of Pakistan is getting fixed.
Even if the target set by New Zealand was above 300 runs Pakistan would have chased the score and won the match because they won the match with 9 balls left and Mohammad Rizwan still left in the crease and he could chase any total as they would pace the innings accordingly. Pakistan is a strong team because of the home advantage and New Zealand needs to produce outstanding performance to win against Pakistan in their home turf.

Pakistan biggest issue in t20 cricket is lack of best hitter. Pakistani openers Rizwan and babar are not suitable for t20 match. They wanted to score with ball which is considered bad in t20 format. This is the reason Pakistan very rare you will see Pakistan team 200+ score. Their bowling lineup is strong but you cannot win t20 matches without hard hitters and these hitters should be consistent in scoring.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are their best players even in the recently concluded PSL, they are not having the best strike rate but they are consistent players. May be they can shift their batting positions or one can be the anchor and the other can start smashing the bowlers from the start. May be a lack of team planning is the reason because they have some quality players but not able to perform during crucial moments.

The man has so much money and fame and he continues to take part in these stupid drunk street brawls.
When stupid people who thinks that they can beat the shit out of professional fighters and then when they get reality check they file complaints expecting a big compensation and these are becoming common and you cannot expect Nate or Nick Diaz to be walking with security guards to get away from hooligans and this is the first time they are facing serious court time and hopefully they will be careful next time.

 I’m really surprised that Ireland managed to score such a huge total against Srilanka, and in a way it shows that Srilanka really needs better bowling plan’s if they’re to win matches. Furthermore while their batsmen helped them back in the game, but I too feel that the result of this match will be a draw due to it constantly raining out there.
It is a terrible pitch for bowlers and you cannot do anything with a flat wicket like that and usually by the fourth and fifth day the pitch will start cracking up and the spinners will be having a field day picking wickets. If not for the rain interruption Sri Lanka would taken a substantial lead and would have picked all the wickets on the final day but with the weather is question it might end in a draw.

Kolkata's chances of victory seem slim. Bengaluru collected 115 runs in 12 overs. Virat Kohli is still at the crease. Kohli is still unbeaten with 54 runs from 36 balls. I don't see any chance for Kolkata to win if Kohli doesn't pick up his wicket. The Bengaluru team now needs 86 runs from 48 balls. It is not a difficult task. The Bengaluru team can easily collect 80 runs in 8 overs if they survive at the crease.
RCB is not good in chasing totals above 170 and even in this chase they already lost Virat Kohli and their 5th wicket. They have a good team but they are not performing like the caliber they have and it is evident by the fact that they never won the tournament and even though Dinesh Karthik is still in the crease it is highly unlikely they will win the match.

Nice to see Mighty Mouse is back in action next week against Adriano Moraes for Bantamweight title!
He is favorite to win but better not underestimate Moraes who is getting ready for revenge after losing from Johnson last year,. they are not 1:1.
Dont miss one more fight on this card that is Roberto Soldic vs Zebaztian Kadestam, and I think they are broadcasting this live and free on youtube.
Demetrious Johnson is training along with Henry Cejudo and they are breaking down the fight and making the fight plans and even during the second fight against Adriano Moraes they had a training session together and so he will be really prepared and even though Adriano Moraes is a tough opponent DJ is the best in the world and with another legendary ally in Cejudo helping each other hone their skills together.

~This was a good win for RCB against RR. After all, RR is the best team this season so far. In the end the match did end up getting very close. It was certainly very enjoyable for the fans. Toward the later part of the match, I thought RCB would do it once again. I thought they would lose this match. But they ended up defending quite well.
RR started the season with some strong performance but in the past few games they are completely messing up the chases as they are struggling to assign the batting position for certain players and then they are loosing wickets during crucial situation and loosing balls which is not helping their case either.

Was expecting Shimron Hetmyer to stay till the end but he was run out while wasting too many balls. Coaching staff needs to focus on preparing them to pace the innings if they need to start chasing totals again.

Chennai Super Kings put up a great performance and gave a huge target to Kolkata Knight Riders. Looking at the state of play so far, it seems that Kolkata Knight Riders will not be able to secure this match as they will need to score more runs in five overs.
If the KKR openers gave a good start then the match would have been interesting as they have players like Jason Roy, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell who are capable of changing the match but they need a good start and CSK is not having the best bowling line up, if not for the big total it will be difficult to defend them most of the time.

For KKR Andre Russell is yet to make an impact and he needs to regain his form for them to have any chance in this edition.

so next fight will be none other than Ciryl Gane, and technically Ciryl Gane could be the weakness of Sergei Pavlocich because Gane is more technical than him, but what if Pavlovich could have a takedown, that is a different story,
Sergei Pavlovich has one punch knockout power and he is in attack mode all the time which is the only issue i find in this match up against Ciryl Gane as he has a good distance control and coming back after a devastating loss to Jon Jones. Not sure whether Jon Jones will be interested in taking these new opponents as he is fixated on Stipe Miocic and if he is not ready Sergei Pavlovich should get the title shot as he is on a 6 fight winning streak.

By mentally disabled, do you mean autistic? Well, some autistic people can be intelligent, but autism does cause problems in relating to others, although I don't know to what extent in his case since he studied at the University.
Elon Musk has Autism and one of my Engineering department head was autistic and dealing with him was a pain in the arse as he was too stubborn Cheesy. So being autistic does not mean that they are not intelligent.

On the other hand it is pathetic that he spent a lot of money to try to impress women and didn't attract them. I imagine that the ones in the photos are escorts. Very strange because a guy with a lot of money always attracts women interested, no matter how ugly he is, who wants to get his money but at least he fucks them. The article also states that he abused cocaine and alcohol.
You need to have personality and money to attract women, 1 year sentence for a big heist is a small sentence while Ross Ulbricht who ran a website is serving double life sentence with trumped up charges Roll Eyes.

He holds 140 000 BTC at this point. Nearly 1% of all BTC in circulation at the moment belongs to his company Microstrategy
From what i understand from the reports that were published earlier Michael Saylor holds around 17k BTCitcoin, Tim Draper purchased a whole lot more than him during the Silk road auction, no idea whether he is holding those coins still and Winklevoss Twins have a much bigger bag of 70k BTC, so if holding the most BTCitcoin would make anyone the richest then Tim Draper and the Winklevoss Twins will be the top holders.

This actually looked like a fixed match. GT weren't even bowling well since LSG still had 9 wickets in hand. Screw IPL betting!
It is really hard to predict this years IPL, there are many matches that went to the last over and it is really unpredictable. Glad that i missed this match because the total was not that huge and after checking the highlights they had wickets in hand and yet LSG messed up in the end and an incredible final over by Mohit Sharma and a disastrous game plan by KL Rahul and LSG.

For CSK everything helped, while SRH failed in batting. With a target of 134 runs it is really hard for the bowlers, because they will be in a situation whether to go for wickets or focus on restricting the scoring.
If any team restrict the scoring of runs then it will quite naturally built pressure and thereby wickets will start to fall and every captain in T20 will be thinking of a dream scenario of restricting the scoring of runs and you need exceptional bowling to defend small targets and with a strong batting lineup like CSK it is an impossible task to create an improbable solution  Grin.

Do you think the SEC has gone too far on its crypto/Blockchain crackdown? If not, why? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
It is not surprising that SEC will be going after DEX as well. They started enforcing with CEX and in due time everyone will be following their rules if not they will be slapped with huge fines. Even if we have a truly decentralized DEX what if they start tracking and tag the coins that is being traded as tainted coins and if they start targeting them, then they will be having some sort of strategies like these.

Arsenal will win this fight. but Arsenal cannot underestimate a team that is in the relegation zone. anything can happen, although Arsenal's chances are greater to win.
Arsenal will put their 3 strikers to be more productive later. it shows that Arsenal wants to get a lot of quick goals from this match, the same formation when Arsenal made 2 quick goals against West Ham. Arsenal certainly doesn't want to be pressured by Man City.
I was expecting this to be an easy match up for Arsenal and a sure shot win for them but Southampton scored the first goal in the very first minute of the match, expecting multiple goals in the first half and hopefully we wont see an upset and if that happens many multi bets would be in jeopardy Cheesy.

Edit: Walcott scored the second goal for Southampton  Cheesy

Bad news for new zealand and good news for Pakistan that match ended with no result. Now new zealand can only draw this series while Pakistan can either draw this series or win it as they are 2/1 up in the series. This is now alarming for Pakistan crikcet as they first lost T20 series to Afghanistan and now they are getting tough time from new zealand second tier team. It was predicted before this series that Pakistan will win this series quite comfortably.
Pakistan could have chased down the total, i was impressed with the way the Pakistan tail batted in the 3rd T20 where they were done and dusted at 88 for the loss of 7 wickets and then to go after the bowlers and reach touching distance for the win was impressive and if the top order would have played they would have chased them and that could have happened in this match as the total was not that huge.
