I've got a ton more time for the England cricket team than any of their other national teams but it is amusing to see them built up in the media then utterly pumped at the first knockout stage. 

Aye they are more often than not the underdogs n don't have the entitlement complex that the rugby or football ones have. Helps that the aussies are so prominent in cricket....they can make anyone look like the good guys

Speaking to the lad who runs our local shop and he's seriously thinking of parting with £600+ for a champions trophy final.
If it is India who win today that price will probably shoot up again.

Fantastic innings of 338 from Pakistan, not many expected that. India's strength is in their batting and they will need Virat Kohli and co to be on top of their game to have a chance of chasing this down.

SKY commentary team of Atherton, Hussein and Key making a hilarious and awkward mess of prouncing the name Pakistan batsman Fakhar :lol:

Didn't see this coming, well done to Pakistan, reminiscent of 1992, they were all but out at 7 down vs SL in the last group match then started playing out of their skin and haven't stopped since.

Yeah very reminiscent of their world cup win in Australia where Imran Khan and his 'wounded tigers' beat England in the final after scraping out the group by the skin on their.

A quite brilliant opening spell of bowling by Amir which all but clinched the win for Pakistan after about six overs of India's innings, you wonder how much he would have acheived and be revered had he not got that 3 year ban for his idiotic role in the spot fixing scandal in the series in England a few years ago, he will be forever tainted and primarily remembered for that.

Pakistan were fantastic, but I was surprised by how poor India were today.

Interestingly, Pakistan and India were also playing each other at hockey today, and also in London, at the Olympic Park. The hiding was dished out by India in this case.
