ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Is there one more twist?

[ACT Crusader]

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.

Least the Crusaders won this weekend

Sexist bastard. White ferns crushed SL.

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.
