Champions Trophy
-
Pakistan just about messed up their final qualifying game vs Sri Lanka. But, they've dished out a drubbing to England.
NZ, Oz and England all showing the perils of having your lower middle order fall over!
India will fancy their chances - they should be too good for the Bangles!
-
Bangles got slaughtered which was not unexpected. Pakistan massively unlikely to put together two performances in a row, I can see the final being one-sided.

I had a feeling the hype around the English team was building too far... from a couple of Cricinfo headlines over the weekend it sounded like they had the comp in the bag.
Now you know what being an England cricket fan entails. Why we can't wait until we've actually won something before we start chest beating is beyond me. I mean, after all these years. Sheesh!

Caught the final 10 overs of the Pakistan innings and they batted excellent. Big score of 338 and all the pressure on India.
India have the firepower but lose a few early ones and the RR will build.

Bam bam! Rohit and Kohli gone cheaply.

Pakistan, a better ODI bowling side than batting, pulled out a massive batting performance and backed it up with excellent early bowling. India under massive pressure and crumbled.
