Discuss the Champions Trophy


	Get Cricket updates:						What's this?

November 06, 2006 20:16 IST

This ICC [Images] Champions Trophy did not produce the cascade of runs that usually come in India. It demanded the batsmen to be more alert to changing conditions, and saw bowlers recall the traditional virtues of swing and accuracy.

Technically-better teams stole a march over the mediocre. In the end, arguably, the best team in the world, Australia, walked away with the trophy.

But the tournament will also be remembered for the West Indies' [Images] resurgence and stagnation of India.

Defending champions to qualifiers to finalists, the West Indies took its fans on an enjoyable ride while the hosts paid the price for inconsistency with the bat and ball.

Discuss the Champions Trophy with Deepti Patwardhan on 1500 IST and Harish Kotian on 0900 EDT on November 7.
