[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. :)

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
