ICC Champions Trophy 2009

[Karachi Xpress]

Could have switched the venue to Sri Lanka

They could have, but then we would see India and Pakistan pulling out.

The Pakistani public is being devoyed of good cricket for long.

The last thing on "Pakistani public's" mind would be "cricket" ATM.

1. I'm glad they did SOMETHING.
2. I'm disgusted it wasn't just moved somewhere else. Dumb-asses.

India-Pakistan cricket has been boring ever since after that classic series in 2004 in Pakistan where India won both the test and ODI series.

Clarke backs Champions Trophy postponement

Kevin Pietersen: 'This is a huge decision and cricket can now take priority again'

The ECB supports the decision of the ICC to postpone the Champions Trophy until October 2009," Clarke said in a statement on Sunday. "The ECB made it clear to ICC Chief executive Haroon Lorgat at a meeting at Lord's last week that the ECB had a duty to care for England players and officials as well as a desire to ensure the interests of the media and spectators were not compromised."

Finally ICC did something in player's interest...Good to see that but Cricket lovers will have to wait for 1 more year for the CT.

It's a waste of space Micky Mouse tournement anyway. It might've been started to raise money to fund emerging cricket countries but i snow nothing more than a coffer liner for the greedy BCCI. ICC BCCI what's the difference

It might now matter to alot of people but it sure does matter to more than the people who it doesn't matter. Even the broadcasters wouldn't pay for TV rights if India and Pakistan wouldn't be in there. Its not them being in the same group. It is the case of them playing since most of the cricket fans are from India and Pakistan.

I'm glad the tournament is postponed. It would be stupid to have a tournament without South Africa and Australia, the two best teams in the world at the moment.
