See what happens when u get rid of Twatto, record world cup score. He has held back this team for a decade.

 

[Mr Angry]

I worry for the poor Afghanis......

We tend to bowl well here against anyone.

There is no mercy at a WC.....

I just hope they try to bat the 50, invaluable experience against one off the worlds best, at home, different pitch, not going to win, just learn to face the best.

Love Shapoor, hope he gets a contract somewhere in the world, gives his all, diamond in the rough. Gentlemen too, shook hands with Warner after getting him out.

Also on the drive home I heard a pommie talk about how the Afghanis, naturally after beating the Scots, started celebrating when they came back to dressing rooms. The coach stops them, tells them to go into the Scots dressing room and thanks them for the game. Then come back and celebrate the win.
They did.

Bullying minnows

Were we meant to go easy on them ?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Were we meant to go easy on them ?

No,i want them to get bowled out for 8

 

[Mr Angry]

Well I am the opposite, I do not expect us to let up, would be happy to see 7/210 after 50.

They can only get better playing the likes of us and the rest.

 

[shiznit]

There's definitely some promise there...

Some great yorkers...

 

[Hutty1986]

Starcy should get another bagful here

 

[Twatface Magee]

At the innings break Afghanistan's opening partnership were paying $2.50 to beat Australia's opening partnership of 14 (Sportsbet)

 

[Mr Angry]

Deadset no luck....

 

[Mr Angry]

Damn, carn....have a crack.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Do Afghanistan even have team helmets?

 

[vvvrulz]

Looking to bat out the fifty, fair enough too I suppose.
No point in throwing it away and being bundled out for < 100

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee if old mate connect's with one he will hit it on the trotting track.

 

[Pete Cash]

Clarkey having a trundle

 

[vvvrulz]

Mangal crunches a couple of consecutive sixes!
Good stuff

 

[Pete Cash]

I love Afghanistan tbh. Can't wait to see them play the poms next week.

 

[Mr Angry]

Great to see, who is social media butterfly?

Start trend, Shipping crate of cricket kit to Afghanistan.

Put your used cricket kit outside, get volunteers to collect, find a sponsor (perhaps CA) and send a crate full of kit to them.

 

[vvvrulz]

Oh here we go, old matey mates in the comm box now playing back their own past highlights and having a gloat. FFS

 

[vvvrulz]

Falling off a bit here after showing some decent glimpses.
Hopefully Nabi gets a few shots away
