Quite fancy our group. Should reach the semis quite comfortably.

We should win the Champions Trophy. It's on home soil, and we're very good on home soil in ODIs.

Currently we shouldnt even be admitted unless they change the name to "ex champions trophy "

this is the last CT.....so I doubt it would be taken seriously.
always seemed like a forced event.

in international cricket only the following matter for bigger chunk of followers and sponsors

1) test Cricket
2) 50 over World Cup
3) IPL

The Champions Trophy is a much derided event but in the format its taken up for its last couple of editions (and this one coming up) is actually a pretty good tournament.

Whether we need it or not is another question entirely, and I'd have far rather had the Test Championship play-offs that were originally proposed for this slot.
