ICC Champions Trophy 2009

Ya Prince Both were Shockers..

IMO Aussies will come in September, maybe because they regarde ICC Champions Trophy more important then a test series with Pakistan!

just an opinion.

 

[Animator!]

The Aussie will come for the Champions Trophy because the ICC will put them under so much pressure to. They'll be allowed to pull out of a series that doesn't directly benefit the ICC, but as soon as the issue of the Aussie's skipping a worldwide exibition of cricket the ICC will hammer them to come.

It gives me a feeling that Sri Lanka will beat India in a very fun final.

I voted for Sri Lanka, they deserve it mind you.

How about England winning it ? We have underestimated them and now they are under a new skip as well.

Thats what you call true fans! Did you guys expect Windies to win in 2004?? NO! Did anyone expect Pakistan to win the world cup in 1992?? NO!

I totally disagree with you.

Also, you don't have a right to "judge" a "true fan", I just think it's not right to think we can win ICC Champions trophy at the moment, for many reasons such as;
- We have a very new un experienced captain
- I don’t think any of our main, wicket taking bowlers will be available
- We lack in having decent openers apart from Salman Butt, as few have left to ICL.

It does not mean I will stop supporting Pakistan, but there is a difference between supporting you’re team, and thinking of them having any chances. Take Swiss and Austrian fans for example in Euro 2008, but ofcorse we aren’t as bad as them .

Yes, people in Pakistan before 1992 said, "that’s our cup" but even if they didn't,
they still supported, they didn't say we were gonne win it, see.. either way I'm right ..

West Indies “Played” to win the Champions trophy.

usy do you even support any team?
or are you one of them glory hunters who support whoever wins?

i will bring that comment of yours back up again for sure

Group B will be very hard fought. South Africa should go through and I also think Sri Lanka will. It depends on England's ODI form.
