[Ozymandiasza]

England playing like noobs.

Thanks

 

[aniket1911]

This over has ruined it for afghan.
19 of the over.

 

[aniket1911]

Make it 25

 

[Big Mac]

Afghans falling apart

Match gone for Afghanistan

25...

 

[Ozymandiasza]

This over ruined everything.

 

[Ab Fan]

[MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION],Moen Ali nailed it...

 

[JaDed]

Afghans gave it away!

 

[Markhor]

England giving themselves something to defend. 38 off the last 3 overs, 25 off the 19th over.

 

[Zahid87]

Total seems too much for Afghanistan now.

But if Shahzad can give them a good start, who knows.

 

[aniket1911]

Spinner should never be trusted in death overs regardless of how good they have been.

Didn't hussey assault taught the cricket world anything.

 

[Zahid87]

Shapoor Zadran > Wahab

 

[marlonbrowndo]

England bowling is rubbish Afghanistan can win

 

[Amjid Javed]

Willey may just be saving england here from embarrassment

 

[Adil_94]

great knock by Moeen Ali today standing up for his country.

Terrible field set

 

[JaDed]

After the 29 run over second time Afghans have given the match away with a 25 run over.

 

[Executioner]

Back Afghanistan to get this

 

[street cricketer]

Willey playing a good hand here.

First showed brute strength and now some deft touches.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Back Afghanistan to get this

Shahzad can score 150 in an over. Afghanistan has got this.

 

[Adil_94]

Giles Clarke phone the umpires during the drinks break and reminded their job is to send the associates home ASAP.

tbf from first glance I didn't think it was out. I won't blame ECB just yet

Bangladesh and Afghans both are better fielding sides than Pakistan..

 

[JaDed]

Its saddening to know India might be the only team to get out under 100 this tournament,was backing England to match that feat all the way

 

[JaDed]

143 is chase able, Afghans have to back themselves.

Didn't Jadeja assault taught the cricket world anything?

That was poor from Waqar because it was predicable, Spinners rarely perform in the last few although Ravindran Jadeja for us is becoming kinda regular but we still back Bumrah for the last.

 

[Executioner]

However momentum will be against Afghanistan. They were expecting to bundle out Afghanistan under 120.

They will be under pressure because they now feel that they have a good chance of winning

 

[Anchorman]

Still think that the Afghans will take this one. Good to see Bumble in the combox! The WC was missing him!

 

[RamLakhan]

Looks like this pitch was not spinning one and that England just batted too poorly. If Afghans were experienced they could have reduced England total or/and chase down this total. (But I think England can manage to defend this). The other group would fancy to face England in semifinals on bowler-friendly pitches.

[#GreenRoars]

A decent total by England, Afghans missed a golden chance.

[MENTION=23130]nish_mate[/MENTION] let it go man its pointless he wants to just stoop to lower level,i have already made a sad post. and

 

[Adil_94]

Muhammad Shehzad is quite dark for an Afghan. He looks like a daal khor.

Let's go Shazhad

Shahzad has to be the biggest WUM in world cricket. I love it!

One more stupid post and perm ban.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Meh, not looking too good now.

 

[JaDed]

Afghans collapsing.

 

[Greenshadow]

How would Pak have done when under the pump, under the shallow captain? [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

 

[street cricketer]

Lol at the kite in the field

 

[Zahid87]

Oh well, was good while it lasted.

 

[street cricketer]

England as usual trying to kill the Associate nations cricket. Typical.

They have done quite a bit. You can argue that even the like of BD, India aren't doing much either. West Indies and Zimbabwe are though

 

[Markhor]

Good bowling from England. Willey once again swinging the new ball and the pressure of dots has been building. Afghans struggling to rotate strike.

 

[Greenshadow]

I love inzi.


But ramiz should have interviewed in Urdu. Unfair.

 

[Ab Fan]

Afghanistan needs to improve their game a lot against pace bowling.This is probably their one of the biggest setbacks

 

[MRSN]

hahaha Ramiz thrown difficult question and Inzi with a great reply..)

 

[MRSN]

I love inzi.


But ramiz should have interviewed in Urdu. Unfair.

and then he is asking a very difficult question..:

 

[MRSN]

pace like fire. tough to handele for Afghanistan taem.

 

[MRSN]

good shot. Afg can do it. Spinners are yet to bowl.

 

[JaDed]

Gone match done now. 39/5

 

[Ab Fan]

Lots of soft dismissals..England should be eyeing for a big win.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Not only are England going to win they are also going to boost their net run rate - that didn't look very likely a couple of hours ago.

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

sorry for afghan

 

[aniket1911]

It's like Afghanistan is one man show.
Too much dependent on shehzad.

 

[JaDed]

Plunkett ends up with good figures who knew,Nabi should change gears now.

 

[JaDed]

Nabi gone man England is going to up their NRR by a lot Saffers might be in trouble if they lose to West Indies.

 

[HitWicket]

Plunkett ends up with good figures who knew,Nabi should change gears now.

Similar player to Morris in my opinion so I wanted him in the team after the SA v Afg game.

Yup but Morris was pretty handy with the bat in IPL but Plunket has done well for just his second outing in India.

 

[JaDed]

I think all the camera men get a directive to focus all the beautiful girls in the crowd.

If I'm not wrong the one to call the shots will have lot of views available to him, he will choose as per his requirement,sometimes when they are supposed to focus on the ball in ground the guy calls wrongly and we see the camera in air such mistakes hardly happen in Australia with channel 9 but common occurrence in Star.

And yeah one cameraman for sure keeps searching for some crowd movement.

 

[JaDed]

run out terrible.

 

[uberkoen]

Afghanistan have put up a great fight. With experience these guys will get better. I honestly think they can reach the level of Bangladesh in just a few years.

 

[uberkoen]

20 off 5 required.

 

[hur rizvi]

This is the intent what was lacking in Pakistani innings last night

Win or loss is immaterial but Absolute lack of intent from our middle order was shambolic. We didnt even use our batting fire power completely

 

[Robert]

England have managed to get out of jail twice in two games.

 

[Bakasura]

Will be difficult against Lankan spinners if your middle order played like this...Morgan/Stokes/Buttler are horribly out of form.

 

[AFG_Brit]

Well fought but again the inexperienced at the end of bowling let them down.. England should not have got more then 120..

England have deep batting line up and they recovered against top teams earlier as well.

You will improve further in future though...may be few matches in India against Indian team will further help.

 

[naseem]

Better than pakistan

Yeah, looking at England batting I had a feeling they could recover as they bat deep. I think the captain should have left nabi for the end or even tried gulbadin naib. Well, they will learn from all this and can get better inshallah..

You have to start pushing U 19 players as much as possible to main team...can't rely on Nabi/Shazad forever.

What happened to Hamid? Injury??

 

[naseem]

Afghans are fast learners and are improving too....needs to play more matches against top teams

I think they should and rashid khan came from under 19. There is a batsmen Usman ghani who is from under 19 and is in the squad but hasn't been given a chance yet. I think in the next match, he should be tried.

They are relying on the spin bowlers and rotating the seamers so playing one or 2 seamers, that's why Hamid is missing out.

The 19th over and Moeen Ali the difference. What a pity as the Afghans got close again but couldn't finish the job.
