ICC should ask for full strength West Indies team to play in the champions trophy immediately after they were drubbed in the practice match against SA. The Under Strength Teams will spoil the Sanctity of the tournament.
WI do have a decent record in this tournament.so why not force immediately or replace with bangladesh who are better than west indies under strength team
dont spoil our excitement by fixturing lop sided matches
Although I do like cricket to a small extent I must say that it is more a game of luck than skills. These are the reasons: 1. If a ball on the stumps, a correct shot will get you runs and wrong shot or wrong timing may get you out. 2. More often than not the result depends on who wins the toss( A pure Gamble). 3. It depends on the Pitch. On a spinning pitch the spinners perform and on hard pitch the fast bowlers perform.On a dead pitch the batsmen rule. 4.A man who scores 200 in one innings may not score at all in the second! 5. A hard shot may go for a six and the same shot may also be caught. hence Cricket is game that depends on many external factors and no reputations are worthwhile in a new match.
A game should be like tennis where one can say with certainty that the top seeds will reach the SF/ Finals etc. A game should be based on individual brilliance and talent so that the better man wins!
