Champions trophy begins! Ground has more security than some airports.

^ New Zealand has been bossing the Pakistanis since the tri series. They beat them handsomely in the two matches of the recently concluded Tri Series held in Pakistan. (I remember when Tri and Quad ODI series were the in thing!!!)

West indies masters team beating more people than the actual West indies team...

Meanwhile, champions trophy pretty decent thus far!

This league has a lot of players who just exited their prime.

There was a true old man league that finished last week in Sri Lanka.
West Indies team was full of migrant players who played for Canada and USA. That was also 50 overs as opposed to 20

England like they still toting over that loss to Afghanistan they decided to sell this match to make sure Afghanistan don't go through.

Jai hind, well done India

Missed the NZ innings but saw most of India's. Was enjoyable to watch something not 20 overs long for a change.
Really hoped NZ could have made 20+ runs more so that it could have been more competitive. NZ did well to make the Indians go to almost 50 overs especially having lost their firstup bowler in an already inexperienced pace attack (Henry).

DMan7 - where are you?

T&T has Barbados 35/6

[DMan7]

Barbados all out for 86 yes and they have all their big boys playing from the WI team. T&T held well against Roach, Holder etc... tho.

[bluefete]

T&T beat the West Indies, errmmmm, Barbados cricket team in 2 days by an innings and 56 runs.

Well done.

Unfortunately, Cricinfo always lags behind when it comes to local West Indies cricket matches - sometimes a whole day behind.

[DMan7]

2 days defeat and by an innings too! Also Barbados has all the WI international experience in their lineup and this is the results they show. We might as well say we beat a full WI team.

Kohli retires from test cricket. Well that was a shocker!

[fokhan_96]

Kohli retires from test cricket. Well that was a shocker!

He will have plenty free time now since he can't play in any of the leagues outside India. Probably has some kinda injury that we don't know about.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Hopefully he stays until the next odi world cup.

Or he doesn't want his average to fall even further.
Man went from averaging 55 and thus ensuring certainty as being spoken of as a Test Great to an average in the mid 40s all in the space of a few years. He is also now the only one of the "Fab Four" with a Test Average below 50.

[trinigamer]

Roston Chase is the new test captain, Warrican is vice captain. I wonder why.
