CHAMPIONS TROPHY 2025

[Mr. Shaman]

Hope NZ flog these fraudulent twats in the final

 

[JJ]

Amazing from India, against all odds

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Always up against it this tournament.

But we beat the poms which is the main thing.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Said we needed 270-280 and was around the mark.

Just 20-30 short.

Needed Maxwell just to bat for 5 overs.

Anyway we all know this tournament has been compromised so I don't think India winning adds any credibility to the event

 

[TheParraboy]

Sharma dropped twice.

Connolly having a shocker.

Just cant do shit like that and expect to win
Have them 2 down early may not have made a difference, but we won’t be able to find out dropping catches

Also,
Just don’t get trying to fast track this kid in all formats , into roles he hasn’t played before or is an unfamiliar one

 

[TheParraboy]

Let’s go kiwis tonight

Think they would be better chance at beating India . SA will play their final tonight

We're making bazball selections at the moment. Frazer McJerk was worth a go because he was red hot but should have been dropped and nowhere near the team now.

The handling of McSweeney was mind boggling.

Connolly's test selection was the worst since John Hastings. They seem to think because he can bowl spin he should play as an allrounder. Trouble is international batsmen aren't troubled by part time spinners and he's out of his depth as a batsman in these unfamiliar positions.

Add Konstas and they are really messing with these promising young guys.

 

[Bazal]

Our selectors are cooked but geez we nearly got India with a rubbish squad...

 

[Fangs]

India leg up with travel and our lack of bowling making it too tough. Should be happy enough with how we travelled.

Just a fizzer of a tournament. Rain ruined too many moments.

England completed more games then us and still didnt win a game

Good old cry here:

‘What undue advantage?’ Coach unloads over India bias claims... with ironic twist under his nose

Hehe.

They are in tatters.

How good will it be if we end bazball once and for all this summer?

Prickly is the only way I could describe GG.

'Perpetual Cribber' is a heck of an insult.

 

[King-Gutho94]

No wonder Gambhir and Langer got on so well.

Gambhir used to come perth and spend time Langer learning his craft.

Gambhir turns to Langer to revive career

In an attempt to revive his stalled international career, Gautam Gambhir is in Perth, training under Justin Langer, the Western Australia coach

I had to google cribber.

Nothing a good horse blanket can't sort out.

Try having the Final where IT SHOULD BE in Pakistan, you deluded self centred prick (im not talking about AG btw )

Wouldn't have one solidary supporter there in the crowd, the side would shit their pants

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Am I right in thinking that was the last ODI for the year?

Following this, eyes goes to the WTC, then the Aussies tour of the West Indies which is a test and T20 series.

Then of course we have the Ashes at the end of the year

All the talk about Connolly, how about Maxwell's contribution of getting out to a long hop going for a big heave right after Smith got out, and then dropping Kohli before getting tonked for the winning runs....

I guess at least Maxwell is proven that he can should have done better. That 6 he hit before getting out was a thing of beauty, but as he so often does, he undoes it all completely the next ball. He has got runs on the board (see the performance against Afghanistan to win the game).

His selection makes sense, his performance was dreadful, there's no taking away from that.
Connolly is in a slightly different boat, his selection was questionable and his performance as a batter was dreadful. Thought he bowled okay to his credit. He played like a full time bowler, not a part timer.

Connolly contributed better in the game overall compared to Maxi, but he (should be) miles off opening.

Speaking of non contributors, how poor was Tanveer
