Gulbudin should be on the list, the list might be wrong. He is always in t20 squad and after his match winning knock, they cannot drop him.

I haven't seen a single match of what has been an interesting series but today I will. Even better that it's a T20.

Will root for the Afghans.

Afghans batting first

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

NeoPrime in India is showing it.

 

[eradicator]

Decent crowd.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Afghans, let's do this one more time

 

[Executioner]

i want Zimbabwe to do well. We can't afford to see them down the drain

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Did anyone see Masakadza? How stupid can a fielder get? Not much dumber than that.

 

[Abdullah719]

1.3 Chisoro to Usman Ghani, no run, length ball sliding on with the angle towards off stump, makes room and stabs to short third man. And then we have the most bizarre bit of fielding in the history of everything. Ghani goes for an absolutely impossible single, and is almost at the other end when he decides to turn around. But instead of throwing to the keeper, Masakadza runs all the way to the stumps to take the bails off. By that time, Ghani has just made his ground, replays show.

) Zimbabwe in a nutshell.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good start by Afghanistan. 38/0 4 ov.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Brutal hitting by Shahzad.

 

[eradicator]

50 up for Afghanistan in less than 5 overs, all wickets intact

 

[AFG_Brit]

Fearless approach by the two afghan openers..

My app isn't working and I can only follow it on cricinfo.

Any iPhone apps for this match?

Cremer is on

 

[#GreenRoars]

RR is 10, great batting.

 

[Executioner]

Wth was that masakadza. He could have just lobbed it to the wicket keeper. He went full ******. That is the most criminal.mistake I have seen

 

[eradicator]

Shahzad gone, bowled by Cremer

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Bowl kept low, but nothing shot by Shahzad.

 

[eradicator]

Tuk tuk stanakzai comes in

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Afghanistan Captain is their worst player. Come in to ruin the momentum. Idiot.

 

[eradicator]

Stanakzai off the mark

 

[eradicator]

Ghani looks like a proper batsman, but Shahzad just a hack.

 

[eradicator]

6 by Stankzai

 

[eradicator]

And he's gone, 8 in 8 balls. Got too over excited

 

[Executioner]

Uff these Affhan batsmen are so painful to watch. I like ghani though, has a better technique

 

[eradicator]

Ghani is a proper batsman, not a hack..another hack comes in Sadiq

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Captain is not the smartest guy. Typical of asians. Cannot retire until forced out.

That Mangal guy kept this Ghani out even though he himself not gone to double figures in 7 games against Zim.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Stanikzai has to make room for another player, he has been failing continuesly .

Waiting for Shinwari and Naib to bat

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good bowling by cremer.

 

[eradicator]

Afghans would be looking to score 100 in last 10 overs

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Waiting for Shinwari and Naib to bat

Shinware not in playing 11.

 

[eradicator]

Shinware not in playing 11.

Where is he? He was an aggressive batsman, no

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Where is he? He was an aggressive batsman, no

The selector have prefered this 45 years old Karim over him.

 

[eradicator]

Sadiq 3 in 5 balls

 

[eradicator]

Ghani on 42 now

 

[eradicator]

Karim lol

 

[eradicator]

Dropped and boundary for Karim

 

[eradicator]

Ghani gone

 

[eradicator]

Nabi comes in

 

[eradicator]

Sadiq gone, Afghanistan in trouble

 

[eradicator]

105-4

What a mess of a good start

 

[#GreenRoars]

Spinners controlling the game now.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Karim and Asghar ruined the momentum. What poor decision to send them ahead of better players and playing them in the first place.

 

[eradicator]

Cremer has been made to look like Shane Warne

 

[eradicator]

6 by Naib, what a shot

 

[eradicator]

Another Six, this time by Nabi. Good over for the Afghans

 

[eradicator]

Naib playing an excellent knock again

 

[#GreenRoars]

Naib playing an excellent knock again

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Nabi missed easy ball.

 

[eradicator]

What a shot by Naib

 

[eradicator]

Run out ho gaya bichara

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Well played Gulbodin

 

[eradicator]

Can't believe players like Sadiq and Asghar bat higher than Naib

 

[#GreenRoars]

Massive total it is.

 

[eradicator]

How many of these Afghan players are playing in PSL?

 

[eradicator]

Another 6

 

[#GreenRoars]

188 Target. Damn

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

If Creamer is best bowler of Zimbabwe why did the Captain not save him for the better Afghan players? They should know their opposition by now.

 

[AFG_Brit]

How many of these Afghan players are playing in PSL?

Nabi is definitely playing for queta I think. News from Peshawar is that they are trying to sign at least one more player from Afghanistan.

Yaar..... Atleast Naib, Dawlat, Ghani should be there. Also Hamid Hassan and Shapoor.

These players are talented and their inclusion could make the tournament popular among the Afghans too.

If they had those players, it would have made it very popular among afghans and they would have been able to sell the rights to an afghan Chanel aswell .

[#GreenRoars]

Not a bad start by Zimbabwe.

 

[eradicator]

Gosh, what a match losing over lol

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Jason Statham what he doing. 22 in first over.

 

[eradicator]

Chibahba on fire

 

[eradicator]

Dawlat has good pace

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Zimbabwe will have to keep wickets when going for the runs. Should play aggressive.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Shahzad spills one behind the stumps.

 

[eradicator]

Good Rate maintained so far

 

[eradicator]

Two sixes against Karim

 

[#GreenRoars]

Chase is on

 

[eradicator]

Can nobody else bowl apart from zadran

 

[AFG_Brit]
