Stupid really. If it’s legal it’s easier to stop fixing.

lotteries are banned too atm. used to go on walks with dad 20ish years ago and he would scratch tickets and use choice words everyday while scratching cards right at the counter and abuse the ticket sellers in the shop etc

Curious how does legalizing sport betting stop fixing ?

The hope is that the regulated manner in which something under legal and Government purview can be done would help create a robust framework which would stop cheating and to an extent, the need to cheat even.

I dont think it will have a major impact but given that sports betting sites are still running under a different category, I see no big harm in legalizing and taxing them. At least the Govt will earn a bit of the pie this way and we can hope for some good regulations to come in due to it being legal.

Jadeja's borderline stupid with how he scampers down the pitch every ball.

 

[anil1405]

Just want to see Kholi score a 100 in this match i dont care about the result of the game really like a draw.

And Kohli just hoping that you spell his name properly.

 

[Arachnodouche]

One of these two is getting trapped playing back to a grubber.

 

[anil1405]

Jaddu with a stinker of a dismissal.

Jaddu with a stinker of a dismissal.

wow, that is shithouse from a veteran player. Terrible.

 

[OverratedSanity]

wow, that is ****house from a veteran player. Terrible.

It's worse when you look at how he batted in that over. Almost got himself out a few balls before trying to play the same shot.

Iyer injured ? (back)

 

[Burgey]

What’s Iyer hiding from? Have a go Ffs

edit: just saw he’s injured. Was wondering why he hadn’t come out

 

[Arachnodouche]

Iyer injured ? (back)

For real? Jesus wept, didn't he miss the first game because of a bad back? What a cluster**** our selections are.

Any word on how he did it?

 

[Kraken]

Potentially did it when having a bit of a trundle?

 

[Burgey]

I feel like Bharat is a chance to run Kohli out. Seems a bit skittish

 

[OverratedSanity]

Any word on how he did it?

Word is he's concussed his back, waiting for confirmation

 

[Spark]

yessss

Likely. They both seem extremely limited in their shotmaking options atm. Kohli's tied himself in knots with his siege mindset; Bharat just lunges forward by default.

 

[centurymaker]

Disappointing

 

[Burgey]

Another attritional hour. Decent control by the Aus bowlers. Credit to Murphy backing up well so far, wouldn’t have spent this log in the field much in his career.
