Bhuvi has been top drawer. Fantastic bowling.
ICC Champions Trophy 2017
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Hit straight shots! Or just swing
There you go!
Rameez Raza is going to take his shirt off and do a Dada soon.
This needs a Kohli masterclass to win.
Bhuvi fantastic.
India to chase this down with ease, top 3 in fantastic form.

Well lads, we have a game!!
Excellent batting from Pakistan. Superb start, solid middle & end. Although Hafeez did very well, I feel if we had a big hitter we could've got to 350.
Very good bowling from Kumar to finish the innings.
India more than capable to chase this down. Should be a terrific watch.

Best bowlers v best batsman. Interesting times..
Quite disappointing, tbh. Feel like we're 20-odd short of where we could have been.
A definite missed opportunity. Sending Imad in proved to be an error, Sarfaraz' guile would have been more useful against those yorkers.

That was terrible. Started well but went off the rails after Bumrah's no ball wicket. You can question Kohli, but at the end of the day he only had one bowler who looked capable of controlling things; would have been 360 without Kumar. More valid to question the selection of Ashwin in the first place.
Pakistan actually batting well and Hafeez not being fecking useless is the most Pakistan thing ever.
Now to finish it off by bowling like toilet.

Rohit Sharma is nailed on to fail tonight.
Given the context and pressures facing Pakistan, as an inexperienced side and massive underdogs having to bat first, that has to be the best ever batting performance in ODI history.
Even if India reach 339, they have technically better and more experienced batsman, so would not surpass that achievement from Pakistan batsman. Absolutely brilliant.

Should have been 350+ after the first 35 overs. Oh well. At least the bowlers have something to work with, feared 270 all out after the toss.
I love how Pakistani players thank allah for everything. It's brilliant
Today it was Allah and Ashwin
Today it was Allah and Ashwin
that's expecting too much.
Yeah that's a no from me, if Pakistan lose it doesn't mean jack diddly squat.
Can India chase this? Surely this is about 20 too much in a final
Definitely. Find it hard to be as elated as other Pakistanis right now. Feels distinctly like the World Cup game in 2003. Another left-hander made a century (Saeed Anwar), and we got 270 and thought it was challenging. India chased it down easily enough.
most pundits were predicting a Pakistan humiliation. So you'd be wrong.
3 boundaries in the last 30 deliveries...that is freaking impressive.
Pakistan could have and should have runaway with this...but, great bowling.
Looks like this has the potential to be a great game...big chase coming with a powerful Indian batting lineup.

Yup, bowled excellently. Singe handedly kept india in the game, pandya was the only other good bowler.
What the feck
Will be very tough but doable. Will be decided by the top 3 really.
No pundit with a clue predicted anything of the sort because the last thing you ever do is predict what Pakistan can do, they are in the final and they have the momentum.
name me a better one?What the feck
That really has me scratching my head...that praise is completely over the top.What the feck
If Afghanistan had been in the tournament and somehow made the final and then proceeded to get that total...I'd be going all gaga.
But...as it stands
SA chasing 438 vs Australia for starters.
That game was something. Truly a fantastic game all around. But today Pakistan were better.
Nah no way is Ian Ward 5 foot 8. Looks about 4 foot 11.
Great batting from Pak but India can also up the tempo considering we have batting depth. The pitch looks amazing for batting! it's the Pak bowlers vs Indian batsmen now!
SA chasing 434 vs Aus? SL chasing 400+ vs Ind? There have been some cracking 350+ chases too last year. This is all from the top of my head and I couldnt name you the 11s from even 3 sides in world cricket atm, that's how seriously I follow cricket.
wasn't a high profile final with 400m watching. also both teams were established quality teams/
Pakistan entered this game as massive underdogs, with most people predicting a humiliation.
Well if India win, then
The SA chase against Australia as has been mentioned. England smashing 444 against Pakistan last year was pretty incredible.
It folly to assess the merits of an innings before both teams have batted.
none of those games had any real meeting. Just glorified friendlies
