ICC Champions Trophy

i reckon instead of this we should be happy that england have dropped SHAH thank the lord :)

and lukey is in test team for SA

Your local all-rounder, that's not bad for him! does he fill Flintoff's position for this tour then? Good on him if he does!

And plunkett... interesting choice! Handy with the bat also, maybe they see him as a like-for-like as new Cricketer of the Year MJ? Bowler who can whack it down the order?

Plus, laughing the fact Shah has been omitted from ODI squad too, he didn't do that badly! Just his running and fielding is rubbish haha.


Btw @ -Heart, learn your cricket :S

CC is NOT a mini version of the world cup, CC means nothing, nothing at all, it's arguably one of the most pointless things in cricket. What you're saying is the equivalent to this in football; 'omg the african cup of nations is like a mini world cup!! it's just as important!!' ~ just no.

You know nothing about cricket then as its always been a mini World Cup. I guess you didn't listen to the commentators either who even said it over and over again.

Again you probably never listen to commentary etc because India vs Pakistan matches are always sold out regardless of where its held and is the most watched out of all cricket matches.

You two really should read up on cricket and its facts before commenting as you are just embarrassing yourself.

England has good players, they just need more practice and I am sure they can be in the top 4. They should take time out, practice more and it will help.

Wow, of course the commentators are going to say that, they are trying to promote the tournament so more people watch it and so that the viewing figures stay up. :eusa_wall

It's quite simple stuff TBH.

Liking how you ignored my reasoned argument towards the CT there haha.

I suppose this Champions League that they're doing in the T20 isn't anything like the UEFA Champions League either is it?

I read it, but it doesn't mean I have to respond to such ridiculous and untrue claims.

I could easily say the same right back to you, I'm just making the response for why it is a mini WC.
I can understand why you'd dismiss the tournament as pointless, but it's in the calender, and there's not a lot we can do about it, so we might as well see some positives from it, and in my case, even if you don't, compare it to a mini WC :P

Once again, we won the Ashes. That's it. Ashes and World Cup. That's it. So calm the falange down.

Big thing the Ashes over here if you didn't already know, and we won it. That's all that matters. And I'd rather not spend my time reading up on a sport which bores the **** out of many.

Smiddy - I'm just in here to see what the reaction was to the Aussie's CT victory, because a few came to our school for a football match and started gloating about it, which I found hilarious.

Yeah, that's your opinion, and that's good lol, I just don't agree with it, I like to watch it yes ~ but I really do not see the point in it.. :P
