Poor from India and great from Pakistan. There's a real obsession in cricket about wanting to chase all the time, for me on a good pitch you win the toss and bat first and put up a score and then put pressure on your opponents. Its like you're taking the initiative too rather than allowing your opponent to.
ICC Champions Trophy 2017

- Start date
Amir Khan chatting shit. Turn his mic off
I motivated them
We can't chase apparently, our good batting first
Sri Lanka dropping Hafeez and Fakhar getting a reprieve were the major turning points of the tournament. Pakistan winning today the type of unexpected results is what makes the game great.
Congratulations to Pakistan. Enjoy your well-deserved victory.

Loved Virat being so magnanimous.
Have been saying stuff like this on Twitter for 5 years now , first time Pakistan have won and the whole of Pakistan is in my Twitter mentions
Indian cricket fans and their arrogance. Sri Lanka comfortably chased 320 against India at the very same venue. I'm sure that had a big impact on the decision to bowl first.
Well done to Pakistan. Thoroughly deserved today.
Anyone else feel Kohli's captaincy is pretty average? Didnt take Ashwin off when he was getting hammered, and for some strange reason gave Jadhav an extra over in the 44th when Bumrah had enough overs left.
Even for a side that is routinely unpredictable, even for a team with a long history of starting slowly then making a white-hot charge through a tournament, what Pakistan have pulled off at the 2017 Champions Trophy is some diamond-studded, galactic-scale nonsense.
They have not just defied logic, they have spat in logic's face, questioned the moral inclinations of its parents, kicked it in the shins, put it in a headlock, strangled it unconsciously, then shoved it into the mud and set its trousers on fire.

Eh? We did wallop Bangladesh.
I think he banked on keeping it tidy with Ashwin and waiting for Pak to crumble as they do. He did fail a few tests today as captain. I think due to India's recent high caliber of players his captaincy isn't getting tested all that well.
I still don't see what's the relation between the two?Just wondering, if that was humiliation what was this?
Oops my bad. I think your quote wasn't supposed to be there!
Two India Pakistan games in ICC tournaments. What is the relationship? I wonder...
I'm dying to see that fireworks ad in India
Resident Pakistani fans, there must be a version of this in Pakistan, do us a favor of linking the latest update in this thread
Saw this today.
Would be great if Bangladesh won an ICC tournament. Would do wonders for the country and the advancement of Cricket.
They Indians were treating Fakhar like Don Bradman was batting, really didnt like Ashwin's tactics against him, it let him settle in without any danger of getting out
Thank you for rating us so highly.
There isn't. It's like Pakistan won't talk about this victory in the future.
Let us keep the thread civil. Have some banter, but no personal attacks, please.
They are literally quoting random posts from the thread now.
All I am saying is if the centurion victory was an "embarrassment" what was tonight?

You still haven't answered my question
Reminds of the redcafe copy pasta of no rape jokes.
Yeah, because it was rhetoric.You still haven't answered my question
Nothing to see here then.
No it wasn't. I am asking again: If the centurion win was an embarrassment where do you place today's win?
It was a great win, as I've already said above.
