2009 ICC Champions Trophy

[BrItIsH LiOn]

It's not Englands fault that South Africa are incapible of winning at home regardless of the cramping controversy! South Africa are bad losers

South Africa are bad losers

That's rich coming from an England fan! All you guys do is lose, but the fans will still moan about selectors, coaches, captains and who should play in the next game they lose!

We at least don't point fingers at other teams. We sort out our own problems by ourselves without politics

Politics = Sanctions ?

The Spirit of Cricket was called into play once again in the Champions Trophy when Daniel Vettori was left to decide the fate of Paul Collingwood, who had been ruled run out after venturing out of his crease in the misguided belief that the over had been called by the umpire.

Where is the sportmanship in the game today?

LOL I wasn't even talking about other teams, just your own internal politics.

If you want to see the results of whinging pom fans, maybe visit some of the English forums and read for yourself.

If you're good then you have every reason to moan. But if you suck at a game that you invent then one can only shake their head in pity. Anyway no hard feelings

It also includes your 'beloved' media tearing shreds off any team who happens to lose ... ... !

Strauss blames IPL for England's woes

... because no one would pick him ...

 

[Creag]

New Zealand win by 4 wickets!!!

 

[BrItIsH LiOn]

Who we playing in the semi's?

 

[AirWolf]

Who we playing in the semi's?

Does it really matter because England will still get creamed?

 

[Creag]

Not sure why you are so desperate to know who's going to klap the Poms?!

 

[HalaalPornstar]

Would you look at that.. The adsl (Champions Trophy) Fantasy league's so much more exciting than the cricket tournament itself.
Well now that the Protea's are out of it anyway.

 

[BrItIsH LiOn]

Well if England can beat SL and RSA im sure we can beat any other team..

 

[Smooth Criminal]

South Africa beat NZ and Aus, both of whom just thumped you. The tournament is such that whoever wins on the day has a high chance of proceeding to the next stage. And by the looks of things, they're probably going to meet Aus in the semis. Good luck, apart from SA they're the only team that's had a successful ODI run here, and the 6-1 drubbing will be fresh in England's mind

 

[Creag]

... now how could we have forgotten that?

 

[killadoob]

I dunno hey i got a sneaky feelin england could be the dark horse of this comp.

They beat us beat sri lanka, then ensured sri lanka never got through. Thus far if you enter a tournament it could not go any better .

 

[CHURCHILL]

Well if England can beat SL and RSA im sure we can beat any other team..

Dont worry about some of these anti pom posts, they still hurting because the Poms knocked them out the comp.

The hurt will last until the end of this ICC champions trophy, but i think it will start again in November.

Well, i got to have believe in the team i support, just like you did for your team, before the ICC Champions trophy started.

I think England will take tests and SA the ODI's.
