    18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

    You'll be homeless and bankrupt by end of day, buddy.

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    Oh, it was baiting all right. Wasn't a fail, reeled in quite a few fish as can be seen from all the thrashing and flailing from a few people.

    18th June - FINAL - India vs Pakistan

    When I was a kid, my family had beef with our neighbours. No point in boring anyone with a long blame-game story, but the result was that neither did we visit them, nor were they invited over. We shared cold vibes. It was a reasonable stance to take. Live and let live. Sometimes you have a...

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    They did need two attempts to win the Champions Trophy during their WC reign. That's just a plain fact. Look, there's no denying that they were the dominant team in 2003, but the team that wins the two in a row gets bragging rights over the team that doesn't win the two in a row.

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    They needed two attempts at the CT to complete the double. They can occupy tier 2 below India'83, Australia'07 and India'11.

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    They lost the 2004 edition. They were just lucky they got another go at the trophy before 2007.

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    The only purpose of the Champions Trophy is to serve as a confirmation factor after a World Cup. Win both and you're a deserving nation (India '83-85, Australia '07-09, India '11-13). Goes to show what a fluke the Australia-New Zealand final was in 2015.

    Are England really favourites for CT17?

    England were most definitely favourites for the tournament. They were knocked out in a KO game. It happens. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa didn't make it past the group stage. England fans aren't the losers here. That person who bet on South Africa, Australia and New Zealand has...

    2 Champions Trophies vs World Cup

    No. Part of the excitement of the WC is not knowing fully well how all the teams stack up against each other at the start. CT just before the WC would do the exact opposite of generating excitement for the WC. It would be like jerking off in the afternoon in order to get hyped for your big date...

    CW's 50 Best ODI Cricketers of all time - 2017 Edition

    Here's what. I started off by eliminating players until there were 25 left. Those 25 remaining players were sorted alphabetically by default. Drag and drop to rank the players wasn't working well. Maybe it was my browser (Firefox), maybe it was the survey design. I don't know. I don't care. The...

    Group B - India, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka

    Given their track record in KO games, it is extremely ironic that South Africa won the only cricket tournament to ever be officially called the Knockout Trophy.

    Group B - India, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka

    If Bangladesh are a minnow, then the argument also stands that the Group B teams (Ind, SL, SA, Pak) were deprived of an easy 2 points in the group stage, lowering their individual chances of qualifying for the Semifinal in comparison to the 3 'strong' teams in Group A. India have earned their...

    Reserve Days in ICC tournaments: Arguments for/against?

    More money is to be made showing ads on the telly for one day and a bit than there is to be made showing ads for one day.

    This isn't fair. The person running it shouldn't be participating for obvious reasons. He's obviously fixed it much as England have fixed the actual tournament with their home-rain advantage. /s

    5th June - Group A - Australia v Bangladesh

    The target score adjusts on the basis of wickets lost. So, theoretically Bangladesh could pick up 8 more wickets in the next 4 overs leaving Australia with a target score of xxx/9 at 20 overs, where xxx >> 83.

    Indian Cricket Dhaba

    The captain-coach rift is the least concerning of the allegations. If it exists, it has grounding in cricketing strategic and tactical issues like team selection and player camps. They're not extraneous issues to the game. The conflict of interest allegations against Gavaskar, Dravid and...
