champion trophy

Australia proved their mettle yet again in Champions Trophy. But it was sad to see none of the South Asian teams qualify for the finals. Pakistan came very close but just didn't have enough to offer to qualify. India and Sri Lanka didn't even have any power to reach anywhere!

South Africa, West Indies and England, well, they were not considered great threats. South African ahem.... being chokers... ahem... are always a safe bet to lose.

What do you think failed South Asian Teams? Are Australia and New Zealand going to be the new force in one day cricket?

Wasn't taken too seriously

Champions Trophy was always considered a second rate, or an after thought tournament by many. May be the increasing lacklustre of one-dayers against the huge following of Twenty20 cricket is making powerful South Asian teams like India not to concentrate on Champions Trophy?
