The ICC Champions Trophy

[exiledclaseboy]

Started Wednesday in Pakistan and Dubai and a bit under the radar so far. England v Australia now in both teams’n first group game. Good start from England against a fairly depleted Australia without Cummings, Starc and Hazelwood. 128-2 after 18.

Pakistan v India tomorrow which can’t be bad for a Sunday.

Decent start by England...there's me strapped in for a T20 fest not realising it's an ODI thinking Root needs to kick on with his strike rate

 

[Ringwood]

351 for 8.. possibly 20 runs short on that pitch. Will have to bowl well to defend that.

Pakistan v India just starting, always tasty.
Pakistan bat and 26/0 after 6

Crikey, it comes to something when 350 ain’t enough in a 50 over game. (I still live in 1977 when 180 was a good score).

England being England again

Cricket's not coming home? Don't blame it.

Should be the end of Buttler as England captain.

England really are rubbish aren't they?

Dreadful at white ball cricket. RIP it up and start again.

 

[Cooperman]

England can bat, sometimes.

England cannot bowl, usually. I’m a bit fed up of seeing short of a length balls heading over the boundary fence.

The basics of their approach to the fifty over game is wrong.

Jos Buttler quits as England's white-ball captain after Champions Trophy exit

"It's the right decision for me and the right decision for the team," Buttler said

I will raise you John Player Sunday League games at St .Helens with Glamorgan , 40 overs per side .

Even further back Gillette Cup games , 60 overs for each county , games finishing at past 9pm on occasions .
No floodlights or bad light stopped play was an excuse then .

Crap! Bazza out.
