I am starting to wish the Champion’s League* people had an asterisk on all their marketing.
I love the idea of this tournament, but it isn’t only champions, because runners up are involved.
And it isn’t only the best, because the best performed international side in 2020 world thingies, one title, two finals, doesn’t even have a fucked side in.
If anyone deserves the title champions it this format it is them.
That is the one thing stopping me from peeing myself in excitement over this tournament.
Australia, South Africa and England all have two sides in this tournament, and none of them have even made the final of the world t20 yet.
England may never reach it.
Pakistan’s style of play was invented years ago hoping that one day 2020 cricket would be invented.
They are the kings, even the first IPL title was won with two Pakistanis in the side.
Australia have ignored imports for years in domestic cricket, this year their 2 of the sides had Pakistanis in them.
So this is not a complete Champion’s league, it is an almost Champion’s league.
Although that won’t look good on the poster, so instead they should start a campaign of propaganda informing the general cricket public that Pakistan are shit at 2020.
Here is a starter pack:
Show Dirk Nannes bowling Afridi.
England beating them in the first game of the tournament.
Pictures of Misbah Ul-Haq’s ass.
And an endless loop of Inzy running in slow mo with Baywatch music in the back ground.
Imagine it, Inzy close up, his face covered with sweat, his moobs jiggling in green and the music slow fades in…
Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrender`s in sight
Don`t you worry
It`s gonna be alright
Cause I`m always ready
I won`t let you out of my sight.
*The Champion’s League should not be confused with the ICC Champion’s trophy which should be confused with a real tournament.
