[Strike!]

Interesting that they decided to bowl first considering the wicket here.

 

[JilaWatan]

whats the errie music being played right now?

Interesting that they decided to bowl first considering the wicket here.

I thinks its because Afghanistan have been very sucessful in chasing. They chased down when beating the UAE to qualify for this tournament. Decent call from them.

If Afghanistan win, this will be the biggest upset in T20 International history or even of all time. They are the first affiliate side to ever make it to a world tournament.

One thing for sure, Afghanistan don't fear anyone in any form of life. They will give it a good go tonight. Dealing with short ball will be the key for them.

Good luck to Afghanistan.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nice start by Smith and SA.

 

[JilaWatan]

1 down baby

 

[Strike!]

Run out!

 

[JilaWatan]

look at the afghans jump in joy....i love this

 

[KingKhanWC]

Lazy Bosman gone. Another quick one would be nice.

 

[Stewie]

Cricinfo says shapoor was consistently bowling over 94 mph..

Can this be accurate? He does have good shoulders though so can't be entirely impossible. How come we never heard of his pace before though?

 

[FM87]

Afghans are very agile fielders, a very good run out.

i just saw him bowl 81.2

 

[KingKhanWC]

That was quick.

 

[Strike!]

Jacque Kallis is whooping their ass right now.

 

[Maula Jutt]

I hope Afghanistan wins. Just for the sake of shocking the world, if for nothing else.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Outtttt

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nabi strikes. Afghan need to stay cool, SA are coming at them hard.

 

[Strike!]

Yes, Out!!

 

[sannah12]

nabi

 

[Abdullah22]

this is how you handle pressure after being hit by 6s afghan still did not lost hope.

 

[Strike!]

A few more quick wickets should really put pressure on SA.

 

[sannah12]

great over.
they should try and bowl Sa out for under 150.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Very good over by Shewari. Spin could be the road for Afghanistan.

 

[sannah12]

4 runs in last 12 balls

 

[Strike!]

This is some excellent spin bowling.

 

[KingKhanWC]

great over.

Afghans would take that.

Kallis is the form player they need out.

 

[sannah12]

random question i know but want an answer:

if kamran akmal gets injured before the toss tomorow who will wicketkeep?

 

[AZ]

For every good piece of fielding the Afghanis do 3 misfields issed:

 

[Maula Jutt]

11 Afridis on the field.

 

[Strike!]

He can't get injured, there is no other keeper in the squad.

Afghanistan keeping it tight.

 

[AZ]

And that's a six, lovely hit from ABdV

 

[lakha84]

11 Afridis on the field.

minus the beastness

 

[Maula Jutt]

Cameraman likes Samiullah's behind.

 

[AZ]

The Afghani leggie is good, nice easy action, getting some turn too.

 

[Maula Jutt]

minus the beastness

Well ours is the ultimate Afridi, that's why.

 

[Strike!]

Drop catch. Dammit.

 

[AZ]

Poor delivery, full toss dispatched thru midwicket for four.

 

[Maula Jutt]

Outttttt

 

[Strike!]

Got a bit too cocky there. )

 

[AZ]

And he's gone next ball! Easy stumping!

 

[lakha84]

the captain strikes

 

[KingKhanWC]

What a lovely stumping.

AB's footwork went awol. )

 

[AZ]

Kallis playing one of his annoying innings...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Kallis the stubborn mule even has luck on his side today.

 

[AZ]

Fantastic spell by Samiullah, has really dragged the Afghans back into the game.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hamid one of the main bowlers needs to keep the pressure on!

And he has..Kallis gone , big wicket!

 

[AZ]

Kallis is GOOOOONE LOL! Tickled down the legside!

 

[Strike!]

The danger man out on Hamid's first ball, Brilliant.

 

[Sledger]

Is rain forcast for this game?

 

[Khabri420]

Afghanistan rocking the show! A few more wickets come on!

 

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Well done! Huge wkt, that.

 

[Abdullah22]

kallis gone hamid

 

[Abdullah22]

SA time to choke

 

[tahaqureshi]

Saffers look very sad...like someone took their food.

 

[AZ]

Some loser kissing the Man Utd emblem

 

[asifp]

actually I want Afghanistan to come thru and then get destroyed by Pakistan.

Only way to payback for over 60 years of ungratefunless by that nation

 

[KingKhanWC]

Is rain forcast for this game?

No, don't think so.

Duminy in the headlights, memories of Gul in the semi last year.

 

[AZ]

Afghanis putting the choke...will be down to Albie like always...

 

[Sledger]

Sorry, but Dumminy is a useless player imo. Never rated him.

 

[mrk]

[Abdullah22]

Dude why so emotional? Why so much hate?

 

[AZ]

Saffies look very shaky, not going for shots at all...

 

[sannah12]

kallis gone

 

[Maula Jutt]

[mrk]

[KingKhanWC]

Sorry, but Dumminy is a useless player imo. Never rated him.

His test hundred in Australia was very good but hasn't done much since then.

Boucher gone. Hasan you beauty!

 

[AZ]

Boucher gone, absolutely plumb! Hamid with the golden arm!

 

[sannah12]

[SirRyanOfSalford]

Some loser kissing the Man Utd emblem

Cud've been worse, you know. Could've been Pool's or Smelsea's or even indian!

 

[Abdullah22]

hamid takes another you youngster beauty :younis

 

[Khabri420]

Hamid Hassan seems the man with the golden arm for Afghanistan

 

[tahaqureshi]

Afghan is like Pak, a very strong bowling side.

 

[AZ]

[I/]Yaar bas Albie out karo, phir to yeh log 100 ki team nahin hai[/I]

 

[Sledger]

His test hundred in Australia was very good but hasn't done much since then.

He's one of a handful of players I've seen perform well in Australia yet not impress me in the slightest.
