2025 ICC Champions Trophy - General Discussions

[Bigby Wolf]

Doesn't perform when it matters bro!

You are looking at Kuldeep Yadav.

Wicketless in 23WC and 24WT20 final.

Today too.

I am now worried! Iyer, the man in form is gone. I have no faith in the middle order from here on.

Kohli has lasted long enough for a KO game now. With the spinners on now, it is tough. Really tough!

Time for bed boys, this is over. My god do I hope NZ or SAF win the final.

NZ/SA v AUS?

I don't understand how the commentators are calling it as if India has already won. I understand Australia have a second string attack but it's run a ball for almost 15 overs to go on a difficult pitch!! One wicket of Virat and all hell will break lose. Rahul, Hardik and Jadeja cannot be banked upon to last 15 overs while still scoring run a ball on this pitch. It's Australia's match to lose from here.

it really isnt Australia's to lose. It is probably 60-40 to India, maybe at a stretch 55-45. A set batter and 2 recognised batters to come who are known for quite quick scoring at the death. Zampa's last 2 overs and Nathan Ellis' 3 are the most crucial really

सब बिक गए (Everyone is Sold) . This is true on the commentary team. Full of cheesy lines and boring to the core.

 

[icyman]

I don't get why India didn't show any urgency from overs 30-40. You cannot be playing the Dhoni-esque brand of cricket today. High possibility that we may lose today.

High possibility that we may lose today.

O.o

Jackass plays slow, eats up deliveries and gets out at the time when the opposition needs it the most! Just effing retire man!

He just hit 5 fours?

This is the reason we lost the CWC2023 final. And almost lost the WT20 Final.

Another convincing win for the hosts

I knew from the start this tournament would be a joke as soon as India wouldn't go to Pakistan, but now that it's directly knocked Australia out it really does just feel like, what was the point. There was no world India lost this tournament, and they shouldn't have even been allowed to play it. England's win on boundary count has been made to look normal from what India have been given in this tournament. Pakistan finally host a tournament again and don't even get the final in their own country. ICC have failed here, but is that really a surprise?

Would India have beaten this Australian team in Pakistan... probably, but at least they would have done it where they were supposed too. Rant over. What a joke.

Dubai pitch is not a road. Kohli played perfectly according to the pitch.

I think it was perfectly suited for the chase. One anchor while the rest rally around him. The asking rate was always in control.
