[CRICKET] ICC Champions Trophy


Recommended Posts

i love the boxing day tests at the mcg.. get over 70,000 people the atmosphere is amazing

Yeah thats a good sight, especially when everybody is in a festive mood. The Stadium in Calcutta can accomodate over 120,000 though. :blink:

West Indies pulled off a close win. India-Pak is still quite evenly poised.

Pak 127/5, Razzaq bowled by Sehwag. :happy:

Pak 152/6 now, Moin out; great catch by Yuvraj Singh. :blink:

i the only match i truly enjoyed was india vs pakistan in world cup 2003(or was it 2002) when indians beat the **** out of pak... aha good times.

anyways my picks are same as yours.

Pakistan just beat India by three wickets, who beat the **** outa who now? aah good times...

To be fair Pakistan just managed to pull of the win yesterday whereas India won quite comfortably in the 2003 World Cup. Shoaib Akhtar & co. were taken to the cleaners then. ;)

Back on topic, its surprising the the tickets for the semifinals are still available. :shifty:

It was a great game though, even though we (India) lost, all seats were completely packed and the atmosphere was amazing. I was just lucky that i got tickets. Well worth it and Edgbaston is an awesome ground.

It would have been even better if we won :D

Yeah thats because they are being held on weekdays and with the weather this week, it doesnt look that good :pinch:

Semifinals look good , I'm going for Australia vs Pakistan for the final. I dont think England can beat Australia but I would like to be prooved wrong.

:whistle:

Nice to hear from you Jerichohol. The atmosphere there was great yesterday. So much buzz, that the commentators at the toss were not audible at all. :blink:

Turning point of the game was when Afridi hit those 2 sixes of Pathan, until then it was very close.

Yeah it was crazy, even when the statdium was empty, there was so much noise. I pity the people who live right near the stadium.

We reached at 9:30, got excellent seats near the Pavilion End and had a great time, There was no trouble at all from anyone.

Yes agreed that was the turning point. Tough luck for Pathan, Afridi is too good.

Thats the thing with Pakistan , they have more all rounders then we do, unfortunately. :cry: and thats the reason we won.

Next time when we play together. Let the result be a different one... :shifty:

Big upset, England beat Australia and reach finals. What an amzing match it was. Congrats to England.

Pak plays WI tonight, I think Pak has upper hand but cricket is a funny game. If Eng can beat Aust, then any thing can happen... :)

^ Afiridi's 2 late sixers did the job for Pakistan. Pathan's first spell was great but his 2nd spell was *#$* by Afridi. And people were comparing him with Wasim Akram. :)

Peace!

West Indies have been looking good so far.

I'd say the opposite, Pakistan is looks to have improved more under Bob Woolmer. Their rebuilding process has gained momentum. I think Shoaib Akhtar will be an important factor tomorrow as he performs better when there is no pressure on him.

West Indies is still flashy, their batting is like that of India or maybe even worse. They were lucky to have pipped the South Africans as Sarwan and Lara are nowhere near their regular selves yet they managed to chip in. Can they do it again ? We'll see tomorrow.

edit: :beer: to the folks over in UK/England.

Record breaking partnership between Browne and Bradshaw won WI the game and the trophy. It was an amzing win.

Take that Ponting, slap in your face. I was mad as hell when he said he rather see England win the trophy than other two sides ( Pakistan/West Indies). *showing middle-finger*

Congrats to WI team and fans. Deserving win. Bad luck for Eng. As a friend of mine says England don't win finals. :)

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
