2015 World Cup Result | Afghanistan beat Scotland by 1 wicket in a thrilling encounter

[Thivagar]

Off spinners during power plays and death overs are a big NO NO

 

[badsha001]

thats how u play misbhah

 

[samplepiece]

This is a match of 9th wicket stands.

 

[Thivagar]

3 sixes in a over

 

[Thivagar]

Gone eeeeeeeee

 

[desi_launda]

 

[samplepiece]

Oh man Shenwari has gone from being to being :bigshow in a matter of 4 balls.

 

[badsha001]

then afridi

 

[Thivagar]

could have gotten a century . He has none

 

[desi_launda]

 

[Thivagar]

3rd umpire suspecting field restriction violation

 

[samplepiece]

then afridi

If it comes off its maxwell, if it doesnt its afridi?

 

[Thivagar]

3rd umpire suspecting field restriction violation

Darn it, he is out what a drama,

 

[Thivagar]

then afridi

boom boom and then gone

 

[Dr_Bassim]

thats how u play misbhah

Spoke too soon?

Gone for 96.

That's typical Afridi shot. Slog slog slog.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If it comes off its maxwell, if it doesnt its afridi?

Maxwell doesn't go for a six every ball.

Afridi generally does.

 

[samplepiece]

So Shenwari is a cross between Misbah and Adridi. No fanbiy groups in the Afghan camp then!

 

[badsha001]

Spoke too soon?

Gone for 96.

That's typical Afridi shot. Slog slog slog.

lol i jinxed him...

 

[samplepiece]

Maxwell doesn't go for a six every ball.

Afridi generally does.

With only 2 wickets left, one cannot blame the only recognized bastman to go after everything. No everybody is Dhenier

 

[Dr_Bassim]

With only 2 wickets left, one cannot blame the only recognized bastman to go after everything. No everybody is Dhenier

No I put it down to inexperience yaar.

He already got 3 sixes in the over.

19 off 20 balls and all he has to do is play singles and finish the game.

Only Afridi can be dumb enough to go for a 4th in the over.

Hence the analogy.

I always see Dhoni tuk tuking when chasing a tuf ask in International cricket

 

[Zeshan547]

ICC are you watching, you fools this is real cricket not one way trafic of so called big teams, shame on you.)

 

[Mamoon]

This is why I don't rate Afghanistan. They have the worst batting culture heavily influenced by the Afridi School of Batting.

Bowling is energetic and raw, but their attitude towards batting will always let them down in the long run. Unfortunately, it's a cultural issue.

 

[Thivagar]

Apart from associate matches, no matches have been entertaining

Its always a tough one. He trusted himself after having blasted 3. And this was in slot as well.

Yeah he takes us to the brink and then dives. Gladly, the parachute opens up alright most of the times.

 

[Zeshan547]

Do it afghan boys Shenwari deserve it.

 

[Justcrazy]

what a game , unbelieveable

 

[samplepiece]

Apart from associate matches, no matches have been entertaining

Guess the top teams are too professional to let a huge advantage slip as has happened in both the innings today.

 

[Justcrazy]

Scots ahead , just one wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghans need a bit of luck somewhere here.

 

[Zeshan547]

Dare I say Its even better than Pak Vs Ind. Amazing match.

 

[samplepiece]

Dare I say Its even better than Pak Vs Ind. Amazing match.

That goes without saying, dont you think?

 

[Thivagar]

This is why you need to give tailenders little bit of batting practice to at least improve basic things like front foot defense, backfoot and defense

 

[Zeshan547]

a boundary will do.

 

[Justcrazy]

crucial boundary

 

[badsha001]

Dont want to say anything to jinx afghanistan

 

[Thivagar]

Guess the top teams are too professional to let a huge advantage slip as has happened in both the innings today.

Makes it very boring and one of the top professional team usually botches something that leads one team to dominate the other

 

[Zeshan547]

Now afghans are ahead, what a heart braking stuff this. Loving it.

 

[mudassir84]

Pakistan can learn a lot from so called minnows

 

[Thivagar]

Dare I say Its even better than Pak Vs Ind. Amazing match.

but it was a one sided pounding though

 

[Zeshan547]

5 of 6 needed

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Come on Afghanistan brahs

 

[OZGOD]

4 from 5 needed!!

 

[Zeshan547]

but it was a one sided pounding though

That is why i said this match is a lot better. that match is just media hype.

 

[Thivagar]

double botch

 

[Justcrazy]

four from four balls

 

[Logical]

Best game of the WC so far

 

[OZGOD]

OMG tried to go for a run, was miles out of his crease but Scotland couldnt hit the stumps from 10 feet away

 

[Zeshan547]

4 of 4

 

[Thivagar]

Omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[badsha001]

thats how u play bi******ches

 

[Zeshan547]

what a match what a win,

 

[Saeed]

What a match, so far Associates and lower ranked test sides have provided the best entertainment.

 

[Mamoon]

What a cameo by Zadran.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan won by 1 wicket (with 3 balls remaining)

 

[OZGOD]

What a thriller!! Watching that last over was nailbiting. So chuffed for the Afghans they've worked hard to get to this WC and now they have a win!

 

[badsha001]

What a cameo by Zadran.

and u were comparing afghanistan batting with afridi lolo

 

[Thivagar]

Some Afghani guy is screaming near my apartment and it is 1:08 AM

 

[Zeshan547]

Now if anyone think minnows reduce quality of cricket in World Cups, this WC is such a slap on faces of all those Including ICC. #KeepMinnowsInTheWC

 

[OZGOD]

What a match, so far Associates and lower ranked test sides have provided the best entertainment.

What provides entertainment is parity. These teams tend to be evenly matched so the games usually go down to the wire.

 

[iafzal]

Perhaps the best game of WC till now.

Congrats Afghanistan !!

 

[usmaneeyat]

Brilliant and perhaps the best match of the world cup so far!

 

[Thivagar]

Cool Ramiz with his sun glasses during the presentation ceromony

 

[JaDed]

Man I saw the score 117-7 and then won?????????Some minnows really don't know how to win! Scotland,UAE

 

[JamalAfridi]

OMG

First Ireland/UAE and now this. So much enjoyed it. Well done to both teams.

Congrats Afghanistan.

 

[Thivagar]

These guys are speaking good English

 

[badsha001]

Still feeling sorry for Scotland they deserve it as well...

 

[Gotham Cronie]

What a match!

 

[adnan yasin]

what fight back by shenwari and tailenders amazing

 

[iafzal]

If Pak can have the commitment shown by Scotland and Afghani players we could do so much better.

I saw of the fielding efforts by Scottish players it was better than any of the sub continent teams in the tournament.

 

[Fire Bird]

What a match. Great stuff from both teams and Congratulations to Afghanistan team. They really deserved their first WC win. Well done. So far the minnows are providign more entertainment than the so called top tier teams. A tight slap in the face of ICC.

 

[Thivagar]

Man I saw the score 117-7 and then won?????????Some minnows really don't know how to win! Scotland,UAE

Not really minnow, Afgh improved a lot since 2006 playing Division 5 cricket, players like Zadran, Nabi, Mangal and Shenwari were since then. If Afghanis are generally superior in terms of physical ability so not surprising to see them do well a sport. Imagine if Scotish players didn't spend only training 4 hours a week ? Afg are full time cricketers, Scots are not, same with UAE. ICC greedy fools must do something.

 

[cricket.mad]

These minnows are evenly matchrd..so no surprise they churn out entertaining games..

 

[Logical]

These guys are speaking good English

Makes you wonder why most of Pak players cant speak even a half decent English. Except Misbah everyone struggles even players like YK or Afridi that have been around forever.

 

[Zeshan547]

Sometime shear passion is enough to carry you all the way, forget about talent and application, and our dear Pak team don't even have that, how far we have fallen. they play as if they are about to be hanged and bat as if playing aggressively is biggest crime in the world.

 

[Thivagar]

Take your sunglasses off Ramiz

 

[praveen]

Congrats Afghanistan. Tough luck scots, may be next time. Brilliant Win.

I was giving the minnow tag to Scotland and UAE here but yes Afghans actually can do much better considering their physical ability!

 

[praveen]

Take your sunglasses off Ramiz

His questions are also stupid. I do not know how he keeps is job.
