What happened to Warnie's professional poker career? I haven't heard anything about that in a while.

Did he give it up, or is he still toiling away, but he's just poo poo so he doesn't make it very far in tournaments etc.?

It was a part of some sponsorship thing he was doing, and he pretty much stopped when that deal ended 2 years ago.

Well, since his "charity" was shut down, he hasn't been able to fund it.

What was that charity even for? Nominally, I mean. We all know it was really about lining the pockets of the people up top.

There was some pretty poor captaining by ten Doeschate.
Plus, Samit looked like he was trying to swat flies at the end, poor little guy. He looked like he needed a drink, some crisps, a pasty, another drink and a couple of jacket potatoes with cheese, beans and bacon.

Even so, don't like India's chances of chasing 320+ against Pakistans bowlers.

I reckon they could cruise 350 on this even against that bowling.

Can't believe I've missed out on so much of the India/Pakistan shitshow.

Was the Champions Trophy made up just so ICC wouldn't have to wait 4 years for a major event? Seems like a consolation prize compared to the World Cup.

It was supposed to be a mini tournament to raise funds for the associate members, and the first two made so much money the BCCI took it away from them and doubled the length of it to cash in.
