Genuinely very funny to me that India have used all their money and influence to successfully manoeuvre themselves into a position where not a single person will be impressed by them storming through the #ChampionsTrophy undefeated. 🏏

2. However, we are playing them. If half the Australian team wasn't injured we'd probably have a decent chance of beating India. Which we don't. So if they do get through undefeated, it will at least be in part due to our injuries.
Because, Dan, no one has suffered terrorism more than India from Pakistan. And I see teams' management complaining less than the fan doing. The same set of players will come to play IPL and won't mind travelling from Bengaluru to Delhi so frequently.
Ramesh , allow me to disagree . I can accept not traveling to Pakistan due to security concerns and all that . If they weren’t willing to travel to Pakistan, then their place in Champions trophy was forfeit. Aus and WI forfeited their games in 96 WC didn’t they .
Here where ICC comes into play as administrator. Okay, today an Indian is heading the body but I never see ICC taking hard steps against India which they must. Seems money is a priority for ICC too ( bending to all demands of BCCI).
Because BCCI effectively controls ICC by virtue of money and all the nonsensical decisions and big three bullshit that ICC has been pulling will affect the longevity of the game
Then its purely ICC and other boards'problem that they can't stand against BCCI and its demands. Get together and push BCCI against the wall in the internet of cricket and not only from a revenue point of view.

Very strange of you to think I find this funny because of anything to do with Australia.

But their refusal to do so has cost them any respect they would have otherwise genuinely earned. That's what makes it funny.
It would be funny, though.
