Cricket: Why are you chirping now mate, you're not getting wickets?

Australia with Henriques at 4 was never going to bat deep enough to do much.

How is SA the number one ranked team in the world in ODI? Lol.

ODI rankings doesn't take choking into account

Stacked team fails again.

Pretty much. Think its 1 win in an elimination game for SA in the last 20 years.

Was fun being at Edgbaston yesterday

Was fun being at Edgbaston yesterday

I was there also, was a great atmosphere in the stand I was in. Finch was copping it for hours on the boundary, crowd were singing at him the whole innings and when he wasn't there the crowd were singing "we want our Finchy back"

3 out of 4 countries in the Semi Final will be South Asian. Dun dun dunnnnnnn.

Such an impressive match by India yesterday. They pressured South Africa from the get-go and you can tell that they could never get into rhythm. On the batting side, India didn't take a single risk and they took their time and played it very intelligently.

I also noticed Dhoni doing some captaining at various points in the 1st innings (I don't want to imagine an Indian squad without the calming influence of MS).

Now the question is: Ashwin is here to stay. It's obvious that he won't be sitting anymore. So who gets left out? Umesh Yadav again? Or Jadhav? Or even Pandya?

As a Pakistan supporter:

Pakistan vs England

Bangladesh vs India

Predictions?

England vs India. India wins a nail biter. I want to see BD vs Pakistan, personally.

 

[SB164]

Never underestimate Pakistan.

Wow

 

[Hurt]

Too perfect. Hasan Ali is turning out to be a real gem.

He's in the running for Man of the Tournament so far along with Shikhar Dhawan.

India handily beats Bangladesh. Clutch, clinical, and dominant.

As for Virat Kohli, he becomes the fastest player to reach 8000 runs (in 175 innings). De Villiers (182 innings), Ganguly (200 innings), Sachin (210 innings), Lara (211 innings).

Kohli is now averaging 253 in the 2017 Champions Trophy.

The highest batting average in successful chases in ODIs
(1000+ runs):

MS Dhoni: 97.36
Virat Kohli: 95.20

As for the final, India and Pakistan have both peaked at the right now. It's going to be a hell of a final. What are your predictions folks?

The pessimist in me is thinking India will win handily but the homer in me obviously wants Pakistan to win.

In the meantime, watch this video:

Well my Bangbros went further than I thought they would, but really disappointed with that SF showing. Cannot get beat that bad in a ****ing SF.

Team really needed Mustafiz to show up this tourney, but he has been on vacation for the last year. Could have been the X-factor if he was on.

Don't like India or Pakistan, but I hope Pakistan wins.

 

[Slyfox]

I'm liking India's chances here. Their bowling has been surprising and the batting is in top form.

What's up with the fizz? Guy went from being a really threatening bowler to nothing in a year.

Thanks for the support, Chandra <3.

 

[worstfaceoffmanever]

India needs a miracle at this point. What a demolition job.

 

[darko]

Come on Pakistan.

 

[Morozov]

Gave Pakistan a punchers chance, who would have predicted this domination.

 

[darko]

Haha cop that India.

Ever since his injury, he has not been the same. His trademark was his line and length. The slower ball and cutter on top of that made him almost unplayable.

I wonder if he is still dealing with after effects of that injury. He also comes from a lower-middle class family, so I wonder if the fame and money got to his head.

He's a young dude tho so I'm not worried. He will bounce back. Hope he shows up for the World Cup.

That was quite the pounding by Pakistan! The most unpredictable team I have seen in any sport

Congrats Hurt and all Pakistan fans. You guys deserve it!
