We have better spinners than India, says Afghanistan skipper Asghar Stanikzai

[jnaveen1980]

Their fielding is beyond hopeless. Just not suitable for Test matches. Bowlers will struggle to pick wickets with this unit.

Indian number XI batsman (Umesh Yadav) is a better batsman than Afghanistani batsmen.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

This is what talking smack gets you. Hope they learned a lesson.

India should remind him that he averages 22 (playing against associates mainly) and many tailenders nowadays will comfortably average more playing against associates.

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

This goes to show that you should really keep your mouth shut when playing a top class team, especially when it's your first test match. This wasn't confidence, this was arrogance.

Our spinners - 6 wickets at 9 apiece . Afghan bros - 4 wickets at 73 each.

Forget the spinners I think it's the worst 1st innings by a test team if they can't even last 30 overs.

Hate it when minnows talk like this no respect.

World class spinner Rashid smashed for 110 in 9

 

[jnaveen1980]

Its okay guys They dropped Morgan off of ihs bowling at 28. I won't be harsh on them. Still a good bowling unit. We have had our own bad days as well. Let Morgan face him on a slightly turning subcontinent pitch. Having said that Rashid was less impactful this IPL season. Either he lost something or batsmen have started figuring him out.

Andrew Flintoff said once this game has a funny way of biting you on the *** eventually.

That being said, many bowling attacks have suffered against this freakish England batting lineup. It's all part of the learning process and initial growing pains.

Getting outbowled by roston chase.

It's true the do bowl better than India just their batting is really weak

I thought Indians would be supporting Afghanistan

I thought Indians would be supporting Afghanistan

supporting vs recognizing realities.

supporting vs recognizing realities.

Eveyone recognize that their batting is weak but him putting a happy face indicates that he is happy there being bowled out by Roston chase and he is support the windies which is fine

But I thought Afghanistan was like Indians second team they support

There are 1.3 billion Indians. Everyone has different second teams, what is your point?

 

[Pakistanian]

He's not wrong.

Yes their is 1.3 billion but majority support Afghanistan I just thought he would be supporting Afghanistan it's not a bad thing I don't see what your point is

How do you know majority support Afghanistan? Where did you get this figure from? Majority don't care or watch non Indian matches. Stop assuming things.

In LOIs they probably do have better spinners. It's impressive how theh manage to bowl a tight line even under pressure. That teenager Mujeeb is outstanding. He almost won the world cup game against Pakistan.
