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

So you agree with me - that the game comes before modelling. I think we should end the debate here.
What probably should deserve more criticism is the over-hype in the media.
Every cricketer gets an overdose:
Tendulkar flops - and is labelled 'Endulkar'.
Ganguly fails - and everybody who can be heard is forcing him to retire.
Dhoni smashes a few good runs - he's ready to topple Gilchrist.
Parthiv Patel chanced to enter the test arena - they killed his career by over-praising his 'abundant talent'.
Pathan, Zaheer, Balaji, Piyush Chawla - you name them, they've all been stung by the over-the-top media glare...
