    Is there anybody following the ICC Champions Trophy currently taking place in India. For the uniniated, the sport in question is cricket:D

    Currently the qualifying stages are on, and the progess of Sri Lanka and West Indies is all but guaranteed.:)

    The main group stages will start in a few days from now.The Aussies are the favs for this one, and this is the one trophy which has eluded Ricky Ponting's boys:)

    Ok Nobody appeared interested in Bangladesh and Zimbabwe playing it looked :)
    So I revived this thread now with the group stages on

    Group B is a pretty neat group, NZ taking on South Africa today, Stephen Flrming has scored nearly half of the Kiwi runs so far, they are 164/7 at this moment.

    The tickets seem to be pretty expensive this time around, are all the north stand tickets 3k ?

    If thats the case, it's a bloody well waste of money.

    yeah CCI with less capacity at Brebon have kept all tickets high.Normally i think corporates will be their buyers so they care a damn about people.

    A spineless batting performance by South Africa. I agree that the pitch was difficult to play on, but if one really applied oneself, then scoring wasn't difficult. Their difficulties with spin have been cruelly highlighted once again. :)

    But if all matches in this tournament seem to be low scoring.People always love to watch high scoring matches.

    For once bowlers are leading. The pitch at Mumbai doesn't seem toi be a very good one, but lets see how the other matches go :)

    Yes actually its a new wicket. So it is very slow for now but till final it will be nice wicket. I heard that Sudhir Naik is the curator of the wicket.He is a gem.

    Great victory for Pakistan after the turmoil their team underwent during the week. Good batting especially by Malik and Razzaq. Sri Lanka had their iopportunities though, they could have made a bigger total--and Razzaq should have been caught on 5

    Throws open Group B ...

    The topic is actually quite active in the other thread, which is why this thread isn't seeing much of activity ;)
    Aussies take on the Kiwis today, and I think the Aussies can do it and make it to their first ever champions trophy final
