[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. :)

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
