Indeed. If we win the Champions Trophy, people will not celebrate and if we crash out, people will not be disappointed.
I'm sure you were still here in 2013.
People here will celebrate even when we win Cool and Cool Cups and KitPly Cups so by that logic they are of same value?
You are not getting my point. I didn't say that the Champions Trophy is as important as the World Cup, but to say that it's meaningless and not a big deal is simply not true.
It is worth much more than any random bilateral series or the Asia Cup. It's an ICC tournament at the end of the day.
That is because World Cups matter more, but that doesn't mean the Champions Trophy has no value. If we ever win one, people will make a big deal out of it.
champions trophy is the equivalent of the euros or African nations cup in football so i would say it is quite an achievement to win this. but i guess it will always be meaningless until Pakistan win it.
AB and Co. do need to take the count higher than 1. It's poor to win only one ICC tournament despite having good team in most tournaments.
This is why I don't rate Amla as high as some other batsmen with great statistics. He rarely shows up when it counts
dont really need to attach ANY importance to CT
CT is pointless tournament should be replaced by Test Championship

its meaningless in the grand scheme of things in all honesty
My point is that fans care for every match. Its not like at end of every bilateral series we tend to lose we dont get mad.
but in the larger scheme of things no one attaches a whole lot of imp to CT wins.
basically point is that a one day's side's legacy will be tarnished by not winning the WC but no will care for it not winning the CT. And even if wins 3 CT's but no WC, it will be considered as a side which underachieved
Still the same stand ? Lol

Does Benson & Hedges World Championship of Cricket count?
IIRC India defeated Pak in the finals in 1985.
LOL. I am sure he will change his tune if Pakistan win on Sunday.
another one. I see a lot of gems.
Kya hua bhai![]()
I stand by it
Obv you wanna win every match but all things considered it's a meaningless trophy
Only good thing is perhaps it tells where your team stands globally
Top 4 Asian teams in this order:
India - 2 World cups, 1 WT20, 1 CT, 1 shared CT, 6 Asia cups, twice no.1 test ranking.
SriLanka - 1 World cup, 1 WT20, 1 shared CT, 5 Asia cup.
Pakistan - 1 World cup, 1 WT20, 2 Asia cups, once no.1 ranked test team.
Bangladesh - None
So based on accolades above,
1)India
Distance
2)Srilanka
Closely followed by
3)Pakistan
Huge distance
4)Bangladesh
P.s - We should hv won 2014 T20 WC...why Yuvi why

If you're going to show #1 rank in Tests here, then the appropriate metric should be number of weeks at #1, not how many times you moved to #1.
If you do that, dudh kaa dudh, paani kaa paani![]()
Here you go:
India 30 months
Pakistan 2 months
If you also include 1952 to 2003:
India 54 months
Pakistan 4 months

Don't consider champions trophy to be worth much. Nice to win but has no context at all.
Funny it didn't include the trophy we got by Miandad last ball six.
What about Nehru cup in 1989? I think 5 or 6 teams were involved and Pakistan won that.
Bansen n Hadges tri series, I remember Pakistan won one (the famous series where Mo Zahid was bowling bullets to Brian Lara).
Still on zero WCs![]()
Final was in Australia.The last World Cup was New Zealand's best chance if the final was in NZ too I would say it would of been a much closer match.
Final was in Australia.

CT is an icc event and it matters.
It's also more tight since it's top 8 teams so minnow bashing is off the table.
The only issue I have with CT is that the format is such where you can win by playing good in 1 or 2 games and lucking out in the rest.
If ct had the wc format where each side plays each other once and then onto semi's and final, it would be better and more inpactful then even odi wc where you can still get a few easy wins against nedtherlands.
People do remember ct winners. It's just you and a select others in your niche don't or don't wish to cause in your eyes the tournament itself is worthless.People remember World Cup winners and not CT winners. Till 2015-2019, people remembered Australia as World Cup winners, 2019-23, England and 2023- now, it's Australia.
T20s has its own World Cup winners and Test has its own. No-one remembers CT winners.
Lol no one cares wtc. Wc >> t20 wc >>> CT >>>>> WTC.. test mace = wtcPeople remember World Cup winners and not CT winners. Till 2015-2019, people remembered Australia as World Cup winners, 2019-23, England and 2023- now, it's Australia.

2 Yrs duration for one tornament too much. Competitive events duration should be in 1-3 months.Tests are for purists. You either watch it or not..No middle lines. It's about prestige playing a WTC Final and not popularity.
CT is there for people who don't get to watch ODI World Cup or T20I World Cup.
Only one right. 2002 ct shared with lankaCT is a random tournament. Doesn't follow any schedule. We have had just 8 CTs in the span of 26 years. That kinda underlines how serious the tournament is. India has reached 4 CT finals. Won 2 of them. Australia has reached 2 finals and won 2 of them. So basically evne in CT India has the best results over a period.
Most football leagues last the whole year. test championship can work with a few tweaks.2 Yrs duration for one tornament too much. Competitive events duration should be in 1-3 months.
SL are also winners. Shared or not.Only one right. 2002 ct shared with lanka
Just because it is their second sport that doesn't mean it has less importance. Boxing day test still has full attendance. They incredibly respect the sports since the Don Bradman era.Goddamn Australia actually has 10 ICC titles.
And that too when Cricket is barely their second most popular sport lol. Unreal country...

Nobody remembers CT winners. Can you tell me who won the CT in 2005 and who was the runners? Most won't remember, they will have to do a google search. People remember Ashes 2005 more than a CT that year.
Look at England, people say that they transformed their white ball team after 2015 WC. But look what they did in CT'17 at home conditions? Bottled up but nobody cares. Their prestige is saved with the WC win in 2019 and WT20 win in 2022. Nobody cares about CT and have forgotten it, many don't even know a tournament as such existed.
2019 - ODI WC
2021 - WT20
2022 - WT20
2023 - ODI WC
2024 - WT20
Look, that's all what everyone knows. Nobody gives a damn on who is the defending CT winners and I am not saying it because it is Pakistan defending it, it's a reality. Even Pak fans would feel a bit embarassed within in saying that they are defending champions. It has become a forgotten tournament in last 5 years.

Again for you lol.
Before India won 2024 t20 wc, they were consistently memed 24/7, about not having won an icc trophy in 11 years with references being made to 2013 ct.
No one said 13 years they always said 11 hence indian fans clearly cringed onto ct 2013.
Similarly everyone remembers the shared srilanka and India tournament along with Australia winning 2006 ct as a part of the classic aussie dominance.
Only the first 2 inaugural Ct's and ct 2009 have mostly been forgotten as ct 2009 was held at the same time as 2009 t20 wc and the first 2 are forgotten due to being brand new events at the time.
As for 2017 England, lol 2017 and 2019 wins against England is considered the greatest achievement for pakistan cricket during those time periods excluding beating India in a final as beating atg England 2x in their home den is what caused Pakistani fans to be excited in the first place.
CT was meant to be scrapped after 2013 and then after 2017. 2025 will be the final CT. and if India wins, it will be relegated as the inconsequential trophy and if Pakistan wins, it will be the be end of all glorious trophies which BCCI conspired to scrap because Pakistan won it twice in a row. Anyone else wins, then the conversation will be " Which was the last team to win between India and Pakistan? "Memes don't mean much. People can make memes about anything as they want. India were the top team and arguably #1 team all formats combined since 2015 irrespective of whatever one makes a meme about. CT is for the team who wants to console after coming out as a failure from a World Cup and WT20.
Lol no they weren't. 2015 Australia were comfortably superior to them.Memes don't mean much. People can make memes about anything as they want.

And England's resurgence from 2016 all the way till 2020, they were Miles superior to India.

Olympics will be the new major tournament from 2028, there is no space for CT after 2025.
Simple logical line of thoughts![]()
Resurgent England lost in the same way your so called Hyped ATG India lost by a whopping 180 runs in the final.This right here you yourself proved why CT means nothing absolutely. Resurgent England played CT at home and got spanked in semi finals. They lost a home tournament and yet it didn't hurt their legacy.
By the way, I made the point about all formats combined. India were no.1 or about since 2015 and even till now in Tests.
Nobody remembers CT winners. Can you tell me who won the CT in 2005 and who was the runners? Most won't remember, they will have to do a google search. People remember Ashes 2005 more than a CT that year.

W/l ratio top teams vs top teams in odis.Lol no they weren't. 2015 Australia were comfortably superior to them.
And England's resurgence from 2016 all the way till 2020, they were Miles superior to India.
Afterwards 2021 and 2022 were probs india's weakest time period since 2012 with half their team injured and alot of their players like dhawan fizzling out.
Only from 2023 onwards they are conformable the best team in the world. So basically from a year or so.
Again none of this matters.W/l ratio top teams vs top teams in odis.
W/l ratio top teams vs top teams in odis.
Lol check w/l ratio in icc trophies against top teams from 2011/2015-24 t20 wcAgain none of this matters.
2015 Australia was better then any team dueing said time period.
2016 England was better then any team uphill 2019
2021 and 2022 India were awfully weak especially in the t20 department.
These are facts. Showing me mindless statistics with no context is as relevant as babar azam's no 1 icc odi rank
I never claimed Pakistan were the best side in 2017.Lol owned @mominsaigol but but but..
Pakistan fluked a Champions Trophy hence they are the best side with a W/L ratio of 0.7.
From 2011 w/l ratio against top teams in icc eventsAgain none of this matters.
2015 Australia was better then any team dueing said time period.
2016 England was better then any team uphill 2019

In flukes teams cant score 338/4 infact if it was with the bat so how come Pakistan bowled them out so cheaply? obviously that was a Pakistan's day... they played well on the day and won that game with their efforts so cant realy call it a fluke!Lol owned @mominsaigol but but but..

We would have surpassed them but we bottle few of them .Beating Australianin trophies must be the obsession for Bharat now. It’s what that should keep us motivated for more trophies. Let it not end here.
Let’s chase down the Aussies.
