Wouldnt make much difference given the form India are in

They beat England in a final of some 50 over tourn. last time it was played there

They are using a new pitch at Edgbaston today. The tournament rule is simply that the ICC select and prepare the pitches - local groundsmen have no input.

The India v Bangladesh Semi was virtually a replay of the England v Pakistan one.

First team in off to a reasonable start. Lose some important wickets and get bogged down trying to set a defendable total.

Second team in make mincemeat of the score and win quite comfortably.

Bangladesh can still go home with their heads held high.

There is a story going around (ok I make this up) that you could not buy a pint of milk or anything else besides at your corner shop on Wednesday since all the Pakistani owners were at the game

So forgetting any controversy about the pitch it was almost like a home game for them.

Same could be said about today's final.

Once again, Pakistan tear up the script and are worthy champions. Totally outplayed India and by some . Sweet revenge for the drubbing they got in the group game.

I wonder what Odds Pakistan got?

They've always had fairly decent bowlers who seem to get let down by the fielders over and over

Not since 1992 - Mickey Arthur in charge - how appropriate

Champions Trophy final, The Oval

Pakistan 338-4 (50 overs): Fakhar 114, Azhar 59, Hafeez 57*
India 158 all out (30.3 overs): Pandya 76, Amir 3-16, Hasan 3-19

Pakistan won by 180 runs

Biggest upset since India rolled the West indies in 1983

The historic records says this is the one tournament where Pakistan have a chance of beating India

Afganistan and Ireland are to be granted full test status. I wonder if the England short form captain will now be Irish again as he has no chance of getting in England test team.

Not as long as the ECB grant him the contract.

Eireland have stated that they would welcome Morgan back in to the fold but could they match his current stash ?

Finally. The incompetent old buffoon should have been sacked 20 years ago. The way he has been indulged despite his total uselessness has been an ongoing disgrace for many years.
