ICC Champions Trophy 2017

Why doesn't Pujara get a chance in Odis or is he just a test player?

What an incredible performance. Sensational bowling after a terrific batting display. All of them were great.

The way we've responded after the first game has been tremendous & credit to the team & coaching staff. To dominate England & India like we have has been unexpected & superb. Love it!!

There's some very good youngsters in this side. Hopefully they continue to get better & more consistent.

Congrats. @2mufc0 @MJJ

This might seem blasphemous to say, but I enjoy Pakistan winning when they aren't playing India. Just because of all the other problems the country faces. Mercurial(cliche, but true) and wonderful to watch. I would've wanted them to win if they were playing some other team.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Don't think in the last 8-10 years there has been an ICC tournament where I have been less confident about the Indian team,unless something crazy happens we have no chance

Banter aside this was the 4th post in this thread, we are just not a good team anymore

 

[fishfingers15]

Agree with the conclusion but not the reasoning. I don't think this match was evidence of that. Middle order or not, after losing 3 wickets like that we weren't going to win.

Would be nice to see Pandey, Rahul(the next world class batsman from India imo, altho not sure where he fits) get into the regular 11. Problem is replacing Dhoni.. not sure there's anyone knocking the door down.

I would also like to see wrist spinners tried. They're important in this format of the game the way pitches are right now. Jadeja and Ashwin were simply not good enough all tournament.

Narine has an Indian name, we should give him an Indian passport and be done with it.

 

[MJJ]

Where the players fasting as well? FFS, that's doubly impressive

Some of them might be the old crowd deffo did not sure about these ones.

 

[Neutral]

Congrats to Pakistan...no doubt who played better today.

Not a bad trophy to win.

I'm sure India will be disappointed, but CT final, not a WC....so, not quite the end of the world

 

[2mufc0]

And what about Raina? Why is he not playing ? Surely better than Yuvraj?

I always do this. West Indies and Pakistan are just too damn good to watch when they are winning

 

[Varun]

To be fair, Amir showed so much promise when he was all but 17/18. What a talent and what a bowler

Absolutely.

Thanks zing

He's not, he's let himself go to say the least

Yup. I am glad this happened here. Our selectors have generally been quite good at identifying talent and giving them opportunities. Can prepare well for the next one. Clear areas of focus.

Banter aside this was the 4th post in this thread, we are just not a good team anymore

But you also expressed your sympathy for Pakistan before the finals for losing twice against India

Maybe not, but I don't think three down early doors is quite the death sentence it used to be. At the very least you can try and take the game deep and see what happens.

I rate Rahul too. Youve got to find a spot for him in the side. Even if that mesns getting him to open with Rohit. Would be harsh to drop Dhawan whose had another very good ICC tournament but there's certainly an argument for getting a more destructive opener in.

Scores too slowly.

 

[Moiraine]

That was a 180° turn around by Team Pakistan

Lads, it's Pakistan

Well done to Pakistan, really proved everyone wrong. Glad they won.

Nah kohli out was game over, India would hav won if he had stayed in.

 

[RedTiger]

Game over!

Congratulations to the resident Pakistanis, thoroughly deserved win with that performance.

Btw, I wish we had a pacer like Amir, it sucks big time to see then produce such quality again and again while we can't produce one

Who doesn't wish they had Amir If he wasn't out the game because of a stupid teenage mistake just think where he'd be now.

 

[TheGame]

I think he's known as a defensive player hence he suits tests. I think India will need a replacement for Yuvraj soon otherwise the line up isn't too bad but needs to adapt to playing conditions and match situations better.

[Aboutreika18]

Commiserations to our resident Indians but a good moment for us Pakistanis and hopefully it goes some way to rectifying this mental block we have against India in the World Cups.

Can already hear the car horns going off nearby.

 

[shaggy]

Bit of humble pie needed for all those calling England's performance 'embarrassing' against a 'bang average side'.

Looks like Pakistan were a lot better than you thought

 

[RedTiger]

KL Rahul can keep. Not a great keeper but we made WC final once with Dravid keeping.

Do you not rate saha?

 

[ha_rooney]

Fakhar had a terrific knock but I'd have given the MOTM to Amir. That spell was sensational & took out india's best/in-form players.

 

[Attila]

Lads, it's Pakistan

 

[K2K]

Mickey Arthur has done a very good job with this side.

Former players can all feck off with their negativity.

Micky Arthur wins a tournament.

Whoever cursed this South African side did a bloody good job of it.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Congrats to the Pakistanis. Completely outplayed us.

Lots of introspection to do for us. This was a proper humbling, on a good weekend batting pitch ffs

And, oh dear the attention whore making a right nuisance of himself

Kohli has been pretty good today?

 

[MJJ]

Class interview by kohli

 

[K2K]

When is the next ICC tournament?

 

[OB]

Class interview by kohli

What did he say?
Ive always liked his talks once he became captain.

 

[OB]

When is the next ICC tournament?

Probably the t20 wcup next year?

 

[Mani]

Winning the toss and asking them to bat in final is inviting trouble,once Pakistan had crossed 300,our fielders shoulders had drooped.It was clear they where not prepared for this chase.Well deserved victory for Pakistan. Congrats guys.

 

[GailSpaceWynand]

Disappointing would be an understatement. Well done, Pakistan - thoroughly deserved.

 

[fishfingers15]

Amir Khan chatting shit. Turn his mic off

I motivated them
