Worst team to win Champions Trophy

[chewy]

The worst CT ever and won by the worst ever winner

 

Probably apt end to this forgetful & pathetic CT 2017

[Gollum]

No they beat RSA, England and us. Worst was 2004 WI.

[someone]

Don't be bitter. And with this CT win, Pakistan is actually one of the favorites for WC imo. Their young team will have 2 more years of experience and a solid pace attack.

[The Outsider]

Yeah, agree! Worst team has a bowler to take out Sharma, Dhawan, and Kohli in his new ball spell.

[Adi_91]

If it is a mini World Cup, it never is a mirror to who is going to win the WC that follows it.

 

Only Australia have won it and the WC that followed. But they were a beast side then.

[Rasgulla]

They beat strong english side and India now 

 

Its now 

[Sooda]

No. We lost against a very ordinary NZ side in 2000. That was a worse loss. This Pak team has an excellent attack and batted out of their skins.

.

Let'snot be bitter losers

Not bitter, it's bowling is excellent

but batting is still flaky 

 

Fakhar is unlikely to live a charmed life too long, this final and SL innings was built around his flukey innings 

[Cricketics]

We are sore losers if we think worst team won. They played like Champions and deserve to win.

 

For once we need to stop being arrogant for no reason and recognize that the game is not played by past stats but by current form and Pakistan has beaten all the top teams including south africa and england to win this on current form. We might best them tomorrow but these past 2 weeks, they have lifted their performance and were the better side under pressure. 

 

Clear winner.

Sooner or later we will fix batting as well. 

 

Need to get Haris Sohail in.

Obviously, they have weakness and challenges. But give them credit and this win automatically makes them a strong contender for WC.

[MK55]

LOL Lets be gracious in defeat

[Anwar_194]

Give credit where its due

[vvvslaxman]

They have solid bowling unit. They don't have solid bating unit. But our bowling ensured that they also have a solid batting unit. With huge total at their disposal potency of Pak attack increased multifold.

[Sidhoni]

In fact that would've made more sense if we were the winners. For us this was an extended Asia Cup where we lost to SL and SA lost it more than us winning it.

[CG]

Credit to Pak they deserve to win.

[bowl_out]

They outclassed us in all departments.. Let's give credit where due..

They beat SA, SL, Eng and India..

[Sandeep99]

The destiny was with Pakistan. Enough said. But they did play well in the final. This is the peak that team can play. They brought their best out and played out their hearts.

[zen]

I would say Pak played out of its skin to win it .... superb performance .... ramdan and eid occassion may also have pumped the players up 

[beetle]

Except for the opening game, they played really well. Made some brave changes to the team that worked for them .
