Just came to know about this thread, a fun way to enjoy the ICC cricket 2023. I am not a cricket guy, but I was also not a crypto guy, learnt new things about crypto from BTT then why not give a chance to learn cricket now? I used to play cricket back when I was in school. After that, I didn't have the time or friends whom I could play cricket with.
Good point mate, learning is main thing, we shouldn't give up any new things with thinking that we have no knowledge of it. You remind me out school days where we play cricket with soft ball. What beautiful days of life those were. I played so many tournament in real life but now more then 2 years that I haven't touched bat.
But watching cricket alone is boring, this thread will keep me interested and also increase our optimism because of the $50 reward
Yes absolutely, you are welcome here and we want member like you to be active here and get knowledge plus spread knowledge. I hope reward will ne increase once I got reply from sponsors.
You know I was going to pick Bumrah but I was not sure if he'll be fit for the all matches of world cup.
Yes fitness is the issue as he already some injury problem. Muhammad shami picked 5 wickets in first ODI against Australia and 1 wicket in second ODI is not bad if he continues this performance in the world cup.
Regarding SKY over Gill, his batting order makes him play aggressive while Gill being an opener would rather be having relatively restrictive battling, at least in terms of sixes. In India vs Aus match, SKY's batting impressed me even tho he looked out of touch at times.
Actually there is debate amongst kishan/surya and lyer and selector will choose one of them and maybe SKY also not play some matches as alternative is available.
Warmup matches will be start from 29 Sep. I will recommend @gladitorcomeback to check your contest test and start testing prediction to check how this contest work. If you include Warmup matches then it's your choice. Atleast you can check how this contest works.
Very good idea, I will announce this. This will not only help me in managing experience but also keep this thread more active This will be only test prediction and will not included in reward prediction
I have not earned 5 merit in 120 days. If you allow me to participate I will assure you that I will be keep active and have lot if experience in cricket.
You rank is high, you can join and start predicting. cheers
