ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Jamieson cramped up Hardik, needs to do the same for these last 2 deliveries.

[sparky]

@ACT-Crusader 9 needed off 14. It would be one hell of a twist if India lost from here.

[sparky]

Jamieson serving up pies!

[sparky]

7 needed from the last two overs. Time for a miracle.

[ACT Crusader]

We are a Henry short of a victory….

[sparky]

4 needed from nine so there's still a chance of a BC win.

20 more runs may have been enough. Sigh!

Or we didn’t bring on the slower bowlers soon enough.

[sparky]

All over with an over to spare.

India win.

Losing finals fucking sucks.

Sexist bastard. White ferns crushed SL.

[LABCAT]

We really needed one more accurate spin bowler, not sure Sodhi would have been the right guy but he definitely would have had more to offer than Smith.

[Bovidae]

Looking at the scorecard, the suggestion prior to the final to play an extra batsmen (e.g., Chapman) instead of Smith seems to have been a good one.

Atleast the Lions have turned things around recently. But I get what you're saying.

Mitchell will be kicking himself for not hitting the accelerator a few overs earlier.

Glenn Phillips stunning catch. Adds to his highlight reel.

He is wonderful at doing that. What a cricketer.

( conveniently forgets that he sometimes drops sitters too )

Sorry @NTA, the boys tried their best.

I think the 1980s batting in the middle cost us in the end ( cheers @voodoo )

Lathams strike rate doesn't belong in modern test cricket let alone ODIs. 40 valuable balls squandered.

Nathan Smith ended up being a complete waste too unfortunately. Massive step down from Henry who would have made a huge difference.

Excellent match from Michael Bracewell though. Superb all round effort.

@Bones said in ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

Philips is becoming almost as valuable as Chris Harris.

Too many big hits and the bowling isn't dibbly dobbly enough.

There is only one Harry.
