Many of the Kolpak cricketers have already received their British passports, and most of the remaining ones have been selected as overseas players by the county sides. Those who are left out are moving to other countries such as New Zealand and the United States. The recently started Minor League Cricket (MLC) has attracted large number of (ex) South African players to the United States. So Unites States is attracting players, do they get the same payment. I have no idea about the level of cricket in United States and how they can catch up with the rest of the sports in US to attract advertisement. I was also looking forward to the third test match between India and Australia. The series is now in a 1-1 draw. Both teams will want to win the match in any ways. My bet will be for Australia in the next match. Since they are the host, and they will make the pitch at their convenience. They will get some extra facilities. The Australian batsman are struggling and hence they need to make a batting flat wicket and if that happens it will help India also, the similarity between the first two matches is that both the teams had talented bowlers and the difference is the batsman making runs and which teams scores the runs will win. |

News coming out that Rohit, Pant, Gill, Shaw and Saini are in quarantine as they broke some bio bubble protocols. They were allowed to go outside though but some fans spotted them, one fan even paid their bill. So what happens if they are quarantined and how many days they will be kept under observation and in normal circumstances it is one week and with that the situation, is it possible for them to play the next match and if not it will be a huge setback as Gill will be the player that will be missing from the team and who will be replacing him.
Ganguly suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital and now he is in stable condition, hope he recovers soon. |

Upon their recent fights ? I guess it will be connor to dominate the Game ,Not unless His Mood will change that same day lets see what comes.
I did not understand what mood you are talking about. Whenever he losses he usually comes up with an excuse but mostly those are not cringy as he usually takes a loss well and the only time i saw him respond foolishly was when he lost against Khabib  . Poirier was active for the past few years and he fought many great fights while Conor McGregor was away from the sport and Poirier have the experience and skills to take the fight till the championship rounds while Conor always struggle whenever he fails to finish the fight in the first two rounds. |

The odds difference are widely gap with McGregor considered not just a Favorite but a Heavy Favorite.
Odds provider will not just give an odds like that if they won't see McGregor will be dominant in that match.
I think this will be a landslide victory and a 2-0 win for McGregor. But with the odds given to Poirier, as a gambler, it's tempting to risk a bet for him. Let's see. Dustin Poirier is a completely different fighter and the odds makers goes with big names rather than logic sometimes  . Conor McGregor is not active while Dustin Poirier is an active fighter and he is improving every fight and i doubt the cardio issues of McGregor are fixed and with all these factors i will pick Dustin Poirier to win. |

It was a complete off day for India and coming into the boxing day match they will be under pressure and it is not looking good as they need some players to step up their game to be competitive. With Shami injured and Kohli taking parental leave things are looking slim for India to be competitive in this series. The record low score was just the tip of the iceberg, from what i remember India is not putting a huge score in Test matches for over a year and they need to replace the coaching staffs as it is not improving their skills nor their fielding coach is not doing anything to help the team as the team is dropping catches every match and even in the last match 5 catches were dropped. |

Don't know why everyone talk about Rohit and Test in same context. He's great in limited overs but arguably one of the biggest failure in the test cricket. I would like him to make big in Test cricket but he failed to perform majority of time. Everyone still remembers his T20 and ODI performance and we are playing a Test after a long gap and the last series Rohit Sharma played was against Bangladesh and he did not make any impact as an opener, may be the team will give him more opportunities but i want to see youngster filling the spot. At top order, will support Shaw for a long run but he's in really bad form atm so it would be good if he's rested or dropped for next games otherwise his confidence will go down similar to Pant (in the limited overs). These young guys are talented, they don't need cheerleaders but guidance.
Shaw is struggling with his defense and he might be dropped for the next game and expect Shubman Gill getting an opportunity. |

Boxing is business and its normal for them to make such exhibition fights to make more.
We can expect that there would be more fights like this in the future if fighters and management do see that they can make tons of money
out of these fights even though it would really be a on crossed sport or just purely being built in the hype. Exhibition fights are made by potentially known fighters and only recently they started to make exhibition fights because they know that they can make big amount of money and Logan Paul proved that he could make millions with his debut fight while professional boxers who make their debut make around $1k and Floyd Mayweather knows to conduct business. Punches are real but pretty sure that those wouldnt really pass 50% of total power. What you think?
You cannot expect a technical fighter to throw punches in full power but i expect Logan Paul to throw with his full power as a knockout against Floyd Mayweather could raise his valuation which means he could make another fight that could raise millions. ~
But definitely it will not be as big as what he earned during the Mcgregor fight, it might millions but I'm sure it will not hit over $100 million in this fight. Logan Paul is popular as a youtuber, but I'm sure not all his subscribers or whatsoever will watch the fight, some would even just watch a free live streaming. You cannot compare with the Mayweather and Conor McGregor fight as it was the biggest fight in terms of revenue in history and you cannot replicate the same business. ~
All of us see that coming, all about money and additional promotion for his name.
With his age and his achievements in terms of career it can consider that he don't need anything or no reason to fight along the way.
But money is much bigger than anything, with $$ in front of you, it's simply calling you to continue doing things you love the most
just keep collecting while fans still paying for you. Floyd Mayweather created a media personality and that is when he started to make money and before that he was not able to make that kind of money and he is smart enough to promote his media personality and anyone purchasing his fights wants to see him knocked out cold but he knows very well how to manage a win with his boring fighting style and still make millions . |

Mayweather is not "coming back to boxing" at all. This is an exhibition match and not a real fight, it is totally a useless fight as well and not a real one, the fights you see on the streets are more realistic than this fight. Floyd Mayweather is 43 years old and he is retired from boxing and he might appear here and there if he see an opportunity to make millions and we saw that with the Conor McGregor fight where he was able to make his biggest pay day in his career and now he might be calculating by seeing the amount of money Logan Paul was able to raise during his bouts and he finds this as an opportunity to make money. The punches are real in exhibition matches and you will not see wild punches like in street fights . |

Earlier i had doubt over Cameron Green but after Will Pucovski concussion Green do have solid claim in the Playing XI, hopefully he clears the concussion test and earn his Test cap, he deserve it. I am fan of both Shaw and Gill but as of now Shaw seems to be in pretty bad phase, his shot selection is not looking great atm, on the other hand Gill looking good so would prefer Gill over Shaw. The warn up matches were not that great for Australia as they lost Will Pucovski due to concussion and after that Cameron Green and he will be in the team if he is able to pass the concussion test and he is a promising player for Australia as he batted really well and a good fast bowler as well. I am not sure about the Indian team line up but i am expecting Bumrah and Shami along with Umesh and Ashwin the lone spinner according to the pitch condition. |

I did not mean that Natarajan has fitness problems. My point is that there are many better players in the Indian squad than Natarajan. India has a lot of talented players for ODI matches. And India needs some experienced players for the Tests. Natarajan plays well but is not very experienced.
Got it, with experience and exposure in playing in different countries will help their grow as a player and with his accuracy Natarajan is a prospect for India.
I am disappointed with the match today as India lost the match because of the bad fielding and the captaincy of Kohli. The delay in DRS decision in the 11th over cost the match as Kohli did not take the third umpire decision even though it was the wicket of Wade who was in tremendous touch and if he had gone for the review in time that was plumb in front of the wicket and the dropped catches which is continuing every match. |

I think Natarajan is now fit to play T20 and ODI matches for the Indian national team. Now he is in good form. The Indian coach should now collaborate to further develop Natarajan’s talent and skill. Otherwise, Natarajan will not be able to service the India team for a long time. He will be lost in the crowd of other players. We have seen before that many good talented players are lost due to lack of perfect direction.
To play IPL for a month and now playing in Australia and performing you think Natarajan has fitness issues . The talents that did not fulfill is because they did not change with the demands of international cricket and you need to evolve as a cricketer because the opposition team is always learning your bowling skills and until you evolve and change you will fade out. |

Natrajan got his nick name as Yorker king and he is highly effective with Bumrah which adds deadly combo to the pace bowling. Saini os good bowler but inconsistent makes them to be on the lower side and it affect team momentum when they are playing against best teams in their own ground.
Natrajan a good bowler and his skills on bowling yorkers in the domestic setting is popular and good to see him perform well in the international level as well and that too against Australia when the rest of the bowlers were leaking runs Natrajan bowled well and i would like to see these bowlers play in good seaming wickets as well. |

Actually Mitchell Starc bowled worse than anyone in the Indian bowling lineup. In the end, it didn't matter because Australia had such a huge score to defend. But I have a feeling that if India had won the toss, and decided to bat first, then things could have been much different. India could have set a total of 350-360, and the Australians could have struggled to chase this down. The two ODI was played in batting paradise and i really feel sad for the bowlers and the batsman were able to adjust to the pace and score runs off Mitchell Starc and the bowlers who were able to mix the deliveries with scrambled seam and slower balls will have any advantage in these flat pitches and i would like to see India batting first in their next match and see how it goes and until India is able to score above 350 runs Australia will chase them. |

Bitcoin addressee are used for making transactions, the addresses can be tracked but it can not be linked to he owners if the owners are making use of bitcoin as a privacy coin without making use of custodial and kyc means for dealing with bitcoin. People like to be private when dealing with bitcoin, so you can not link many bitcoin address to their owner as they are pseudonymous. If you are talking about bitcoin addresses that accumulated the coins when mining was not a big deal then it is true, but now if you are spending huge amount of money then you need to verify your documents and there will be a procedure to invest huge amounts and all of those investment comes through banking transaction and hence everything is transparent. |

Is there any chance that we can find a place like Africa or island in pacific ocean to make bitcoin a totally legal currency？no shit from government.
Why do you need a place in Africa or any Island to have your own rules, you can have those rules even in your basement and call it your legal currency and no government will come after you until you do something notorious or anything criminal . I saw similar threads where people want to start their own island to call bitcoin which is foolish in itself which makes me cringe and the part i do not understand is that why can't they make it simple and start using bitcoin . |
