2006 ICC Champions Trophy
Encyclopedia
The 2006 ICC Champions Trophy was a One Day International cricket
tournament held in India
from 7 October to 5 November 2006. It was the fifth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy
(previously known as the ICC Knock-out). The tournament venue was not confirmed until mid-2005 when the Indian government agreed that tournament revenues would be free from tax (the 2002 tournament had been due to be held in India, but was switched to Sri Lanka
when an exemption from tax in India was not granted). Australia
won the tournament, their first Champions Trophy victory. They were the only team to only get one loss in the tournament, as all other teams lost at least two matches. West Indies
, their final opponents, beat Australia in the group stage, but were bowled out for 138 in the final and lost by eight wickets on the Duckworth-Lewis method
. West Indies opening batsman Chris Gayle
was named Player of the Tournament.
English writer Tim de Lisle
said the tournament "ha[d] been fun", because "it ha[d] been unpredictable." The unpredictability was in part shown by the fact that no Asian side qualified for the semi-final, for the first time in a major ICC tournament since the 1975 World Cup
. De Lisle also claimed that "the pitches" had been the "tournament's secret", saying that they were "sporting and quixotic
" and "quite untypical of both one-day cricket and the subcontinent." His viewed were echoed by panelists in a roundtable discussion organised by Cricinfo, "who hoped that the tournament would not be a one-off in a batsman-dominated game" according to news site rediff.com. The tournament recorded five of the 10 lowest team totals in the tournament's history, and totals of 80 (for West Indies v Sri Lanka) and 89 (for Pakistan v South Africa) were the lowest recorded in matches involving the top eight ranked One-day International sides of the world.
