England [397/6] beat Afghanistan [247/8] by 150 runs in the 24th match of the 2019 World Cup

[Ashraful_Rox]

Obviously not. A very bad game but alas still one game.

Salam Boss, that word made me visualize Mashrafee

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Buttler six sixes coming up???

 

[AFM]

Buttler coming in now

 

[Technics 1210]

I reckon if Butler walked in instead of Morgan, he be nearing a double ton right now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They have rolled out an absolute flat track to nullify Afghan spin threat. This is nuts. Nothing is happening. No turn whatsoever.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

bad mistake by Rahmat Shah. Buttler in. Fireworks on both sides now.

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is a joke. 17 sixes by Morgan

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hafeez must be smiling. "Hey i got you" lol

 

[AFM]

Wow more sixes than AB's 149 or Rohit's 267

 

[AdamM97]

Looks like Morgan wants more than just winning the WC as a captain, he’s trying to be remembered as a great.

 

[Green Patriot]

England have lost it )

They are just going bonkers.

Actually there is something in this pitch for the spinners and Afghan spinners did bowl well in the start before Morgan arrived

 

[Robert]

A hundred of his runs came in sixes.

 

[AdamM97]

Morgan led the team from the front. Sarfraz watch this please!

 

[Green Patriot]

A hundred of his runs came in sixes.

My God.That is some stat

 

[Robert]

Come on, everyone knows “the ECB” fixes all the wickets for England, though curiously only on England match days and only when England are batting. Let us see how Rashid goes.

 

[AdamM97]

Afghanistan is a below average team and yet we lost to them in May and almost lost to them in Asia cup.

 

[Shaddy86]

Morgan led the team from the front. Sarfraz watch this please!

Doubt if sarfraz has 17 sixes in the whole of his ODI career.

 

[AdamM97]

Doubt if sarfraz has 17 sixes in the whole of his ODI career.

17 sixes? Not even sure he’s hit 17 fours.

Wasalam.

Extra effort against neighbours..

 

[Omer2002]

dropped on 28 makes 148 wow!

 

[Shaddy86]

Sarfaraz 110 matches 12 sixes Lolzzz you'd be nuts to expect 10% of what Morgs is.

 

[AdamM97]

0-103 (8.2) .
Imagine if Shadab did this, he would’ve been barred from entering Pakistan.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How is that not out? I thought the line belongs to the umpire

 

[jnaveen1980]

Has England failed to cross 300 in any of their matches? I will be curious to see their match vs Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

Congrats Rashid on your fastest 100.

 

[AdamM97]

dropped on 28 makes 148 wow!

It’s such a cliche. Dropping someone or throwing at the wrong end (Ahem... Fakhar?) and then they end up doing centuries.
Same as Root when Babar dropped him and then he made a century.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL that was some epic phainty.loved every bit of this

 

[AdamM97]

Most expensive figures in WC. 109-0 (9.0)

 

[ekpakistani]

Rashid khan phainty ha ha ha ha ha

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Stokes is struggling

 

[ekpakistani]

Most expensive figures in WC. 109-0 (9.0)

Correction 110-0 in 9 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

They were 199 after 35 overs lol

 

[foulu]

Rashid khan got destroyed lol. Great to see.

 

[AdamM97]

Correction 110-0 in 9 overs

I wish he would bowl another over just to see more phainty . Feels so good when it’s not Pakistan getting phainty.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Moeen went AWOL against Pakistan. An innings like this would have helped ENgland win.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Afghanistan brought Moeen Ali back to form

 

[ekpakistani]

I wish he would bowl another over just to see more phainty ��. Feels so good when it’s not Pakistan getting phainty.

Exactly - more fun to watch non Pakistan games. No tension. If one more over ... 130

 

[AdamM97]

400 on scorecard? Just 10 more runs from 2 balls.

 

[ekpakistani]

Now someone will have run rate worse than ours

 

[bujhee kom]

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mujibur wsa outstanding. Off spinner is the weakness of Morgan then. India has 2 wristies !!

 

[WengerOut]

Afghanistan has been a let down

 

[jnaveen1980]

4 fours 17 sixes

 

[WengerOut]

Mujibur wsa outstanding. Off spinner is the weakness of Morgan then. India has 2 wristies !!

Kedar

 

[AdamM97]

143-4 in the last 10 overs. That’s even too much for T20.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kedar

Kedar !! nervous !

 

[jnaveen1980]

143-4 in the last 10 overs. That’s even too much for T20.

That is common.. Teams score 130 easily in the last 10. But if you add the 36th to 40th that is when it looks deadly 197 in the last 15

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rashid khan equals Wahab's record in one less over !! Congratz

 

[Titan24]

Rashid khan equals Wahab's record in one less over !! Congratz

Good record to get rid of.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done Rashid khan bowled really really bad.

 

[WengerOut]

Kuldeep will be shivering

 

[jnaveen1980]

18 overs 180 runs !!! from Nabi and Rashid Their gun bowlers. Other 32 overs 217 runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England's hitting power is amazing right through the line up. Cup is their to lose !. Congratz England on your first world cup.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Good for my FC . Didnt select a single afghanistan player.

 

[Josh]

Fastest Century in a World Cup match:

Rashid Khan - 49 balls.
Kevin O'Brien - 50 balls.
Glenn Maxwell - 51 balls.
AB De Villiers - 52 balls.
Eoin Morgan - 57 balls

Rashid khan from Afghanistan?

 

[MMHS]

My Fantasy cricket strategy is crashed - today, thought either way Poms will bowl first & rest few bowlers, so didn’t change the team ..... wish I could guess that’s Poms will win the toss & be mean enough to feast on some Afghan talent

Have to say - quite a delicious feast indeed. At the end, I don't think it was that bad a call - I would have definitely picked Rashid, Nabi, Stokes, Roy, Johnny and would have made Buttler Captain......

 

[Mehndi155]

Rashid khan from Afghanistan?

He is trolling

 

[Mueez]

Imagine Afghanistan chase this down.

Zazai scores a double ton...

 

[Pakhs]

Cant believe Pakistan actually beat this England team.

 

[castortroy]

Man England batting line is ridiculous

Everyone is capable of being destructive

To all British pakistanis out there, think its time we change alliences to Team Morgan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

He is trolling

Bad joke really lol. I instantly started to google.

 

[castortroy]

Played England 4 times prior to this so were due their 1 win in 10 against them

 

[DeadBall]

Imagine Afghanistan chase this down.

Zazai scores a double ton...

They'll be all out 80 to 100 odd.

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

50 all out?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Have to say - quite a delicious feast indeed. At the end, I don't think it was that bad a call - I would have definitely picked Rashid, Nabi, Stokes, Roy, Johnny and would have made Buttler Captain......

I picked Jofra Archer for tomorrow’s game I have picked Kane W, Martin G, D Kock, Boult and Ngidi

 

[MMHS]

143-4 in the last 10 overs. That’s even too much for T20.

T20 is garbage cricket bro - what happens there is that since we try to give birth of a child in 4 months, instead of 10 .... everyone goes to bang from ball one without "warming up" - result is instead of Dr. Jekil, that new born baby becomes Mr. Hyde.

Batting fundamentals are universal and 300+ years old - set batsmen, partnership, launching platform and proper hitting technique backed by rotation - in short, high momentum towards end, even in Test matches as well. On a standard wicket and ground, if there is partnership in top and batting teams approach last 10 overs with a platform like Poms today, I am sure most cases ODI's last 10 overs will bring more runs than T20s last 10. But, often teams lose grounds in first 40 overs in ODI.

Been telling my son that.....support the country you were born ( even though he has in Aus for most of his 8 yrs)

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of those catches that it is very very hard to drop lol How the heck he dropped that

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gulbadin!!! lol That was some slog. Slammed ARcher for six

 

[jnaveen1980]

Archer is getting pummelled by Gulbadin. 147kph destroyed back over his head

Over used cliches - stop this nonsense and give every team proper respect. Apart from one fake Afghan troll, no Afghan poster here boasted about their talunt, and neither their status. It was few fools here in PP that took Afghans to cloud 9, just to troll Bangladesh .... and they are hiding behind key board for their next opportunity.

The story of AFG cricket is almost similar to PAK, but obviously at a different level. AFG's were fortunate that at the start of their journey, they could get benefit from established Indian system. To a certain extent, PAK cricket glory was built almost entirely on English County. You can check - since, early 90s, when PAK players participation in County reduced (gradually diminished), in last 25 years SRL has comfortably superseded PAK in terms of producing top quality players, results in global events..... even in H2H.

Try to read the history of the game - how it was expanded developed in different community, countries. And, never insult any team in sports - sports God is quite notorious ..... and he loves pies.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

If afghanistan play full 50 overs. England really need to work on their bowling.

 

[Guido]

If England had played Alex Hales, they would be doing 400 every match.

 

[Markhor]

Rashid khan from Afghanistan?

Think he's talking about bowling century not batting century !

must feel good to be an English fan
