    Is it just me who'll miss the Champions Trophy when it's gone?

    For the associate members, T20 is far more interesting anyway.

    The problem with looking at stats is that you don't know what was happening for what reason. Coming in at the death, bowling at batsmen who desperately slog away to try to snatch an unlikely win might devestate figures, but don't really mean a thing. It is the situation Tsotsobe (and Phangiso...

    If the Windies beat India and SA, Pak have a chance when they beat India, as SA, Pak & India will all end on 2 points. Even if that will happen, they will suffer from a really bad net RR though.

    Is it just me who'll miss the Champions Trophy when it's gone?

    For me its 1 Tests, 2 T20, 3 one-dayers. Doesn't mean I enjoy this tournament a lot so far. It still can't believe a Test Championship will ever happen. Indeed far far far beyond dire.

    Im not so sure I agree with on that in the first place. Anyway, his inconsistency has been in his economy.

    Ramdin ban

    I think there is indeed a thing like accidental cheating. A wish can simply, and possibly immediately, grow into a firm believe. I've turned down so many LBW calls, being 100% sure it would bounce over, while the (body) language of the bowler really suggested an honoust believe it was 100% sure...

    In comes Umar Amin. Who the hell is he?

    Though I agree with you, Tsotsobe's stats suggest he's doing a reasonable job: economy under 5, average under 25. But his inconsisty is the main problem. Oh, as I type, he takes a wicket.

    AB pretty clear to hear over the stump mic. Saying the batsman will go for a reverse sweep, if that is what "verkeerd slaan" translates to from Afrikaans.

    Ramdin ban

    Claiming a catch that clearly wasn't a proper one, is just so incredibly stupid, when playing at a ground with a gazillion cameras. Nobody smart enough to know how to whipe his arse is dumb enough to think he can get away with it. Which tends to make me conclude Ramdin made a foolish error...

    I've never sen Phangiso before, but apart form those wides, which looked weird, it was decent enough I guess.

    Oh, you did know they possesed it. They've just never been able to use it with any form of consistency whatsoever. On a serious note: the leg side beamer / wide that Akmal got..... I wouldn't have betted on that!

    134/2 after 30. Should be doubled form here. Maybe even more. Good decision to take the PowerPlay, I guess.

    Time to come good then! He is, afaik without much arguements against it, one of the best ODI-batsmen. I think he is the best around these days. Apart form Ryan ten Doeschate of course :) .

    Australia a country with no culture: David Gower

    Just an attempt to stir things up, right? I can see the fun of it. I've always liked verbal contests, even when crossing a line. One thing though: the remarks on English football stadium and its audience, compared to Aussie cricket audience. Could it be that, in England, cricket, including its...

    A bit of a mystery then! Anyway, my point is not that Munro is better or worse than Franklin. Just that Franklin is, imho, not good enough as a batsman, and a risk as a bowler.

    Well, ok. Buy why do you think so? I've seen only one innings of Munro, so I really cannot judge his skills. I know I am not too impressed by Franklin's skills. The only thing to go by (for me that is), is that Munro has a far better first class average. Must count for something, not?

    Based on what do you think so?
