India vs England
Champions Trophy Main Stage Kick Off Match


Finally we start the main league competition of the champions trophy with the home team India taking on England. The sparks will fly, not just because diwali is near, but simply because both teams have a point to prove. England has been beaten comprehensively by India during the last series they faced against each other and England will be out to avenge that. Though still a depleted side with the likes of triscothic and Vauhgn missing, England would have learnt from the last time the came here and would try to avoid the mistakes they did of trying hit out to win.

India on the other hand, have their own problems. Poor showing in ODI's over the last few months has brought the euphoria about the invincible Indian team crashing down. The top order is woefully out of form and there is total confusion about the combinations thanks to the experimentation policy undertaken by the team management. Indian team however can take solace from the fact that they are playing at home under known conditions and also from the fact that they have always performed well in Champions trophy in the past.

It would be a cracker of a match either way and a great start to this carnival of cricket before the bigger carnival that is to begin next year.

Players to watch out for: Kevin Peterson, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virendar Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Flintoff.


Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
Day Night Encounter
Starts 15th October on Sony Set Max


Best of luck

^ Cool. Now lets see a handsome bet of 25k to set things rolling in the right direction.

Knowing you your bet should be on England. All the best.

I have to mull over the bet for few days

well dunno about england frankly
peterson is saying they value ashes more, flintoff is trying to bluff.

i guess they aren't serious at all.
But i won't break the good old tradition. i hope the indians side with me and play as bad as they have been doing
500 on england. too close to call.

^ Naah, your 500 nickel bet shows you don't trust England - secretly you are rooting for India.

Good bluff btw

And i am still mulling over my bet

for a change you are right,, i seriously don't trust england
now don't bluff put some money. I know you are trying to pass time and complain later "oh i forgot to enter" like the f1

About F1 - jaale pe namak mat chidaak, bahoot boori baat hai Sher se mat khel - beware
