Aussies got royally thrashed by Sri Lanka in the Champion’s Trophy semifinals. Before all the excuses start flowing down from Aussie press, Daniel Laidlaw has written a pretty neat piece on the whole thing. Aussies might be the #1 team, but apart from Gilchrist’s batting, there is nothing exciting about watching them play.

India seem to be playing well these days. I think the full credit goes to Saurav Ganguly for his captaincy. Though the victory against England was comprehensive, I couldn’t believe that India won against South Africa in the last 10 overs.
As a cricket fan, I don’t care much for which team wins. There needs to be excitement - either individual brilliance or collective effort that is not clinical.
That said, I still wish India wins the trophy. Ganguly’s men have been really playing as a team and they have lost quite a few finals, before the thrilling win in the Natwest Tri-series final.
