L is for...Losing
Nobody ever remembers the losing side....except for the losing side.
Whether that be a semi-final, final or to your arch rivals .
How do you handle defeat? How will you handle defeat?
West Indies (twice), England and New Zealand have all been beaten finalists in the Champions Trophy, but would you rather suffer the heartbreak of losing in the final or maybe spared of the pain by going out early?
Then there is of course the big one...Pakistan v India at Edgbaston. Pakistan hold the edge in this ICC tournament, but it only takes one man to step up for either side to potentially settle the contest.
Here's to losing...you can't have winning without it.
