Champions Trophy starts tomorrow. India V South Africa the first game in Cardiff. SA will be as solid as usual. AB de Villiers the danger man. India can't bowl for shit but their middle order is just ridiculously strong in this format. Danger man: Jadeja.
Prediction: India to win.
I think this should have its own thread. We could probably do with a new Cricket thread too tbf.
Anyway, Sky's programme is about to start. I presume Ravi Shastri will be on the syndicated commentary team.
This is the last Champions Trophy too.
South Africa win the toss and will bowl.
Jerusalem ringing out around the ground.
Well, no Vijay. That's one fewer idiot to worry about. And Steyn isn't playing.
Prince Charles.
Opens the tournament without actually being there.

The world champions looking good. As crap as their bowling is, they can pretty much get anything with their middle order.
Good for South Africa's RR to get over 300 in defeat.
Im going to continue this Lawro thing.
Tomorrow, Pakistan V West Indies. Pakistan a team in transition. A couple of really good players (junaid, misbah if he's still there). Will Afretard make a hilarious appearance? Possibly. West Indies the dark horses (racism tbf) of the tournament with a few IPL match winners: gayle, pollard, narine. 20 over format probably suits them more though. Pakistan to win.
Good win. The depth in the batting really showed.
Ishant Sharma would probably be better off bowling underarm blindfolded. Rubbish.
