Australia [209/3] defeat Afghanistan [207] by 7 wickets in the 4th match of the Cricket World Cup

[Chokli]

Why are you throwing your wicket away

What a terrible shot by the captain.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Perfect time for Rashid Khan to come in and go boom boom . Need atleast 250, need a full 50 over match his Saturday

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is such a potent pace attack. I think Afghanistan can beat BD/SL on their day.

 

[Chokli]

If Shahid Afridi was born in 1996 would he prefer to play for Afghanistan?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are you throwing your wicket away

Inexperience. Some seasoned team players do even worse lol IN tough conditions slogging wildly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They know they are going to lose. So they want to have fun i suppose. But as part of the learning they should bat out 50 overs.

 

[Chokli]

What the hell is wrong with these players?

 

[another drop catch]

7th one down

 

[jnaveen1980]

Another loose shot. That guy is taking pace off. Why are they not judging

 

[Kroll]

Perfect time for Rashid Khan to come in and go boom boom . Need atleast 250, need a full 50 over match his Saturday

At least there's to CL final to make up for any shortfall.

 

[Kroll]

C'mon, at least get to 200!

 

[Hawkeye]

Afg batters are so dumb.

20 overs left, 6 down, yet mindless slogs.

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is courageous stuff from Afghans. Fighting fire with fire.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistanis can learn a lot from Afghans. A few early wickets down doesn't mean its all over!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Afg batters are so dumb.

20 overs left, 6 down, yet mindless slogs.

I think it all comes down to lack of patience for a 50 over game. They could have taken singles till40th over and gone after bowling.

 

[Chokli]

Some real dumb cricket being played by Afghan, they could have done this in the last 15 overs with wickets in hand and gotten 250+.

 

[Sycamore]

Srilankans and Pakistanis need to look at these tailenders, they are out there fighting and taking physical blows.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Win or lose. They are providing some of the finest entertainment lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

THey should focus on batting 50 overs. May be not everyone is capable of surviving. Their best survival method seems to be hitting

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol this has been rubbish batting so far. Flailing around, hoping to connect. Besides Mohammad Nabi, none of these guys look like they can hold the bat.

Yet they've scored more than Pakistan and Sri Lanka

 

[Artaxerxes]

Afghanistan players know they have nothing to lose when they play big teams hence they can be aggressive.Pakistan at the moment are too worried about losing so the batsmen go in a shell and start making mistakes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

hahahah HIlarious stuff lol But this is world cup. Teams are steamrolling other teams.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I understand their later order batsmen throwing the bat. But their top order should ahve been more sensible.

 

[Zeeraq]

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This will be a close match, Rashid, Nabi and Mujeed - good selection by Afghanistan

 

[Chokli]

Such poor games on the weekend.

Hopefully Bangladesh perform well tomorrow and we get a good match.

The gulf of class between teams in this World Cup is far too big.

India
England
Australia
New Zealand

Are just on another level

Mid ranged teams are Bangladesh, South Africa & West Indies

Then you got your minnows

Pakistan
Afghanistan
Sri Lanka

 

[shane]

Not a bad effort from Afghanistan. Disappointing that they wasted so many overs but this is the way they play, and the way they should play.

Lol at Bangladesh being mid ranged.
They're gonna be 90 all out if they bat first tomorrow.

Nah, this Pakistani team doesn't have that jazba.

We'll see.

Lets see after the end of the tournament were bengolis finish. I think they will finish well below Pakistan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan would like to put Aussies under some pressure , and get few wickets .

 

[Chokli]

Lol okay mate, stay in denial.

I am a realist mate.

Yeah yeah. BTW good time to put the Indian flag in your avatar.

 

[Hasan2K8]

It will be hard to top 105/10

 

[Justcrazy]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

Why are the Pakistani fans so delusional?

The point is even if Pakistan win this , it does not matter .

First of all the saying that Pakistan has lot of Talent is wrong , mostly there are mediocre .
Secondly the selection committee has been completely biased.

Until and unless Pakistan bring drastic changes , nothing is going to happen. You have to play for dignity , and self respect.

 

[Ronaldo7]

It will be hard to top 105/10

BD's the type of team to score 50 whilst chasing 100 off 50 overs.
Nothing is hard for Bangladesh.

 

[Hasan2K8]

So Afg is the first Asian side with 200 in their first game of WC 19, BD and Ind yet to play. So congrats to Afghans on that milestone!

In which world cup was that?

BD at least has beaten India in a WC. Not bad for a supposed minnow.

Even Ireland have beaten Eng. They're called upsets for a reason.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Look at the boundaries. I'm backing aus to get this by the 25th over.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Let’s do this Afghanistan, what a ball by Hamid

 

[Saj]

Impressive start by Hamid.

Love the attitude of this Afghanistan team.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How do you guys like Finch’s captaincy? I am very impressed

 

[Hasan123]

Whoever wins the WC will have to beat Australia. Key players in form. Settled side but do have competition for places. Experience of winning the WC as well. Don't understand why some people think India have a better chance than Australia.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Look at the boundaries. I'm backing aus to get this by the 25th over.

Why do you hate Asian Teams and so bitter brother This is Ramadan

 

[Hasan123]

How do you guys like Finch’s captaincy? I am very impressed

He has done a very good job and also deals with the media well. He doesn't lose his cool.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Look at Afghanistan bowlers states, much similar to our batters stats
Very good states but against minnows

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

They look very well built, reminds me old Pakistan team

 

[King-Misbah]

Hamid Hassan looks amazing! Pinpoint accuracy and bowling 88-90 MPH.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Ten team world cup was a good idea but now it is similar to other world cups

3 minnows and 7 top teams
Pak , Sl and Afg are minnows

 

[Ronaldo7]

What's with Pakistanis overreacting so much?

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch looking in good touch here

 

[Gullycricket]

Embrassing our trundlers this bowling

 

[Arsalan Pro]

So you remember WCs, a team that was destroyed by Pakistan in QFs bundled out a Asian Giant for 58 Infront of their home crowd some years ago. Can expect another performance like that.

 

[Chokli]

What's with Pakistanis overreacting so much?

Not really an overreaction mate, it's the truth.

 

[Justcrazy]

A couple of wickets are required to make the game more interesting .

That was 8 years ago mate, get over it.

Did you even care to read the original post?

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Hassan guy is going to be handful against some of the other Asian team. He is took quick for guys like Warner, Finch.

 

[Mueez]

[MENTION=147429]Chokli[/MENTION] from predicting a Pak vs Aus final to “Pakistan is a minnow team.”

How did that happen?

 

[Omer2002]

90 mphs consistently by hamid hasan...we shud be ashamed

 

[Arsalan Pro]

That was 8 years ago mate, get over it.

I am over it, why do you care? Just reminding their history, hurt?

 

[Chokli]

Why would I be hurt? Bangladesh have improved immensely in the past 5 or so years.

 

[Chokli]

The lack of respect for the country by our players.

 

[Justcrazy]

All the games of WC so far has been one sided.

 

[dhump]

By far, Afghanistan is the best Asian team after India.

Could have been worse if it included more teams.

Sorry, it's Bangladesh. Maybe by 2023 but right now it's Bangladesh.

Lol

Just confirming, your opinions and team might change faster than we blink eyes.

 

[dhump]

Sorry, it's Bangladesh. Maybe by 2023 but right now it's Bangladesh.

I was talking about the world cup, and I completely forgot about Bangla Bros, but honestly, I don't see them doing any better anyways.

 

[Chokli]

Just confirming, your opinions and team might change faster than we blink eyes.

But not as fast as Pakistani batting line up collapses.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Sorry, it's Bangladesh. Maybe by 2023 but right now it's Bangladesh.

I think you need some time off from cricket. You've been seriously affected by Pak's loss against WI. You're in a deep trauma right now. I'm not even joking.
