[JibranAnsari]

This Afghan attack is as good as any.

 

[Energetic]

BD played well against Afghan pacers who are clearly test standard.

 

[yeh cheez]

its a joy to see the Afghan pace attack

 

[PTI tsunami]

Really impressed by the afghan fielding puts Pak to shame

 

[JamalAfridi]

IReland batting combined with Afghanistan bowling could produce a very good team.

They did not play Dowlat for some reason?

oh ok let me try to find on which number my cable operator have thrown this channel

 

[AFG_Brit]

4th wicket down

 

[JamalAfridi]

Big wicket. Batsman threw it.

 

[Energetic]

Both Ire and Afg have to become full members. It would be good for the sport.

 

[AFG_Brit]

95/5.. 5th wicket down..

 

[JamalAfridi]

Good bowling this over by Gul.

He should not ball cross seam.

95/5

 

[JamalAfridi]

If Afghanistan is smart they bring back Hamid, Dowlat and Shapoor. They have chance of getting Scots out for 150 total.

 

[OZGOD]

Afghanistan on the attack. This would be a fairytale if they could somehow pull it off.

 

[JamalAfridi]

What a catch by the wicketkeeper.

 

[Saeed]

Great bowling from Afghanistan so far. Should restrict them to around 180 or less than that.

 

[Saeed]

7 down now, 3 more needed.

 

[JamalAfridi]

7 down.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Afghanistan are in the driving seat courtesy of some brilliant fielding and catching.

 

[Saeed]

Zazai is a great keeper, only if his batting was little better than it is now.

[MENTION=3474]TalhaSyed[/MENTION] @glory of 92 fellas whats happening?

Scotlands batting is much much better than this. Definitely close to Irelands IMO, but they just cant perform at a WC for some reason. Its a huge shame because guys like MacLeod,Coetzer,Machan,Mommsen are all good players, but for some reason they just cant string anything together.

Afg's batting is circumspect so the game aint over yet I guess, but still yet another poor batting show by the Scots. They bossed the warm up games as well which makes the constant 160 scores more disappointing from a neutral POV.

Afghanistan have some bowling unit though, on par with Pakistans in my honest opinion.

 

[Saeed]

, 8th wicket down.

 

[JamalAfridi]

Good bowling.

 

[Saeed]

:Four by haq.

 

[JamalAfridi]

Afghan Bowlers breaking bats at will! Impressive.

 

[AFM]

Afghans are much better in the bowling department. Would love to have Zardan and Hasan open the bowling for us.

 

[desi_launda]

need special bats to play these bowlers

 

[JamalAfridi]

Afghans missing Jason Statham. He is injured and back home.

 

[Saeed]

They should have been out by now, Afghanistan is letting them reach respectable total.

 

[yeh cheez]

Scotland may pass their highest ever worldcup total of 186 runs.

 

[axl100mph]

Afghans missing Jason Statham. He is injured and back home.

[Saeed]

Mirwais Ashraf i guess

 

[Saeed]

, 9th wicket down.

 

[habibi hayya]

Afghanistan losing the plot towards the end.

 

[world cup captain]

These Afgans are showing how to play with passion

 

[Saeed]

All , Afghans to chase 211.

 

[Strike Rate]

Look at Gulbadin Naib career economy of 6 thats pretty high even though he played against associate teams so it should have been less and even in this match when scotishs were struggling he was pretty expensive comparing to other bowlers he is the weak link in Afghan bowling and top nations will eat him alive. Is he in the team because he can bat a bit?

 

[habibi hayya]

Impressed by this guy's English. Our team always seems to find the worst English speakers.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Excellent from afghans . This will be a close game but I back Afghanistan to cross the line .

 

[mithun_minhas]

Afghanistan should win this at any cost.

 

[yeh cheez]

seems Afghanistan is modeled after Pakistan, strong bowling pathetic batting.

What can you expect them (afghani) when they learned their cricket in Pakistan.

 

[Thivagar]

More reason to include 14 teams in WC instead of 10 or even 12.

 

[Electron]

Afgan batting is a joke.

 

[yeh cheez]

100 up for Afghanistan

 

[desi_launda]

25 form 77 balls

 

[adnan yasin]

Afghans require 85 runs of 96 balls with 3 wickets in hand

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Afghanistan threw this away.

Shenwari fighting a lone battle at the moment.

 

[yeh cheez]

Shenwari fighting it out there

 

[adnan yasin]

he needs support from other end...Hopefully hassan will not go for a suicidal aerial hit

 

[desi_launda]

by tukwari

 

[OZGOD]

Can they hang around with Shenwari for 40 runs?

 

[OutKast]

Come on Afghans! If you've come this far, you gotta go the distance.

 

[Thivagar]

Only associates can produce this kinda encounter.

 

[Thivagar]

:bow :

 

[Thivagar]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Shenwari. Screw you ICC
