Group A (Australia, India, Pakistan, WI)

:getyou I want him in side. its our only way of winning. MoYo and Misbah batting for 40 overs.

 

[khalek]

Misbah will still give it a whack in the end but MoYo will just survive the 50 overs

Hope India and Pakistan play the Final

Hope India and Pakistan play the Final

Which means Australia not qualifying for the semis, and that is highly unlikely. But I too wish that India-Pakistan can meet in the final again (just like in the T20 WC in 2007).

the only thing that is probably not so good about the Champions Trophy this time is the fact that group B is so much easier than group A with both England and NewZealanf being there. SA and SL would advance from that group easily and India, Australia and Pakistan will fight it out from here. Also, a bad day against the Windies would mean knockout for any of the 3 teams. Right now, however, Australia getting knocked out is not inconceivable.....an India Pak final will be great

Afridi vs India

He has played India lot when we were punching bags so it is 34-25-2 in favor of Pakistan.


MS Dhoni vs Pakistan

===================================================================

Pakistan need to get rid of these two and they have won the match.
Watch Afridi's batting stats. He does not do anything in lost games.

Good search i will transfer this information to PCB

We have gotten past that. For us, winning the Cup is more important than beating Pakistan.

No we haven't .

 

[SaiSrini]

No we haven't .

Most of our people in the country have. The rivalry with Pakistan is just not the same anymore. For that, you need to have some fire on both sides but it just sadly lacks that with both teams downplaying their strengths and overplaying the opposition's strengths and waving the friendly flag quite too often.

 

[SciD]

Maybe not in South but we still want to win in North. Badly.

The India-Pakistan rivalry is huge but i think winning the cup is more important don't you think? Speaking from a neutral view i think India has this one in the bag.

I think it would be much closer because Pakistan would have played three games in SA by the time this game starts, and also Pakistan are in good nick right now in the ODI's and are also the Twenty20 Champions and should carry that confidence forward. But India have a better ODI team than Pakistan with the batsmen and the combination of bowlers.

I say 'India win the Cup but please beat Pakistan"...
