Champions Trophy 2025


Poor bowling, and batsmen not contributing enough. We’ve been a joke in 50 over cricket for a while.

Well done to Afghanistan.

Good game of cricket though but.

Just about to post the same.

Well done Afghans. Just shows how far we've fallen when it's not that much of a surprise.

Hats off to Root for making it a game. Shame his fitness didn't allow him to get us over the line. Notable mention to Overton's batting until his last ball and Archer's opening spell. Other than that, hard to see any silver linings.

Butler has to go, no doubt about that now. Question is, who replaces him?
 
White ball cricket in this country is at it's lowest point since the 90s. Can't see it getting better anytime soon either as there isn't many young cricketers banging at the door for an international call up.

Ironic given the push it's had over the red ball stuff over the last few years.
 
No application, no hard work, no accountability. A stupid “brand of cricket” that’s failed. McCullum is a fraud. Buttler has the leadership skills of a fish. Might sound harsh, but the book should be thrown at them. Pro sport is work. I dont go to work to be relaxed and have fun, why do these fuckers think they can.
 
Middle order again. The theory of Root being the anchor only applies when players bat with him. 2 great knocks from Duckett and Root aside this has been the disaster that we all saw coming
