Champions Trophy
Since everyone in India has an opinion about cricket and it has been real long since i actually blogged about my favorite sport, i figured i would do just that. Following the Champions Trophy has been disappointing considering India's pathetic display (especially in the last game and a do-or-die game against Australia looming ahead).
If the pitch at Mohali is in any way similar to the one Pakistan were blown away on today, you would think the hosts might struggle more. If they do go out, it would mean no subcontinent representation in the semis, thus reaffirming the age-old belief that batsmen from this region struggle on juiced surfaces. The only consolation, on the evidence of this tournament, is they may not be alone. New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Australia, South Africa, West Indies and England, all have struggled appreciably.
For India though there is no consolation, Aleast the other teams get frequent flyer points.
