The ICC Champions Trophy kick off this week, stretched between hosts Pakistan where everyone has agreed to play, except India, who will play in Dubai. Politics and sport continue their crash course.

But beyond that... does anyone even care that it is happening? Or even KNOW that it is happening? Australia has done well in hiding the coverage on Amazon Prime where surely no one will find it, but if you do, will you be staying up to watch it?

On today's first episode for 2025 we take a short look at the history of the tournament, Australia's chances in lifting the trophy for the second time, and who is the more likely team to be left standing in two weeks time.

All this and more on Opinions from the Sports Bar. Yep, we've changed name and format again. Who would have guessed?!
