12 of the best cricket nations are to contest the ICC Champions Trophy in September.
Does the US have any chance of avoiding the wooden spoon?
Can anyone beat the bloody Aussies?

A lot of people like it in two places: Countries that aren't called America and in fora called Other Sports.

and this forum is NSR - not soccer related - what is your point.
I'm not allowed to start a thread you disapprove of?
Is this democracy?
Is this the freedom you crap on about all the time?

Sure, just do it in the right place.
Is this democracy?
No, it's a Cheerocracy.
Besides, via democratic process, your thread has been deemed hijack worthy by the posters that have so far responded due to its incorrect placement.
Is this the freedom you crap on about all the time?
With freedom of speech comes freedom of response.

I hear the Netherlands are not too good.. Have Singapore, Malaysia, and/or Hong Kong entered? US could certainly do better than the smaller nations. Is there a link with the full list of participants?
Can anyone beat the bloody Aussies?
India!!!!!
P.S. Don't mind the mindless banter from those other guys in this thread. As much open-minded they think they're (being American association football fans), there is a lot of closed-minded American centricness you can find in many of them. I guess you just ventured into a wrong crowd.

The teams are:
Australia South Africa Pakistan Sri Lanka
New Zealand West Indies India England
Bangladesh Kenya Zimbabwe USA
Do you think India have the bowling attack to contain the Australians?

The Indians had a bit of an off day yesterday, but it just being a case of a single game any of them will get to play against the Aussies, any of the top eight is in with a chance. New Zealand get them in the group stage, but with the US the third team in that group then that will almost certainly be the decider there.

They are resorting to a former Australian fast bowler for assistance, but it remains to be seen how much it will really help.

The Americans will get a brutal introduction to high level cricket. With thanks to the Aussies and Kiwis.
