Official Thread For Champions Trophy, Come and share my dear cricketing friends Options

[tracknest]

I did not initiate this discussion earlier as all meaningless games were being played till the game where we beat the English side.

It seems Australia is the favorite and the team to beat followed by India and Newzeland in my opinion.

Shame to see Shoaib and the talented Asif get into this mess. I do not condone doping but no doping cant create a talent like Asif. I hope the boy gets a clear if he is innocent.

Come on Anil ji and Mandrake ji and co...lets share

Just a debate-point Balaji, nothing personal here... why are we cut up about the cricketers endorsing stuff?
Why are we assuming that they do this at the expense of practice sessions? Is is practically possible? They know very well that all the modelling they get to do is only because they ARE playing well. Once they stop playing good cricket, the offers dry up instantly.
You think a man like Greg Chappell would mince words if he thought that the 'boys' were not practising enough?

And for a moment, think as if You were a cricketer. Would you honestly want to put up a mediocre performance? Would you rather have the endorsement money, or a cricket-crazy nation idolizing your on-field deeds?

I think the modelling issue has always got bad press...

Just my thoughts..

I agree with you wholeheartedly...............................make hay while the sun shines.....
