26th Match - Australia v Afghanistan

[dermo]

Bailey at 5 instead of Marsh imo.

if we drop watson we need to keep marsh, big call to rely on maxwell to bowl 10 overs imo

 

[Burgey]

Fair call, but I think it's a bigger risk to have MMarsh batting number five. Scares me witless tbh

 

[Xuhaib]

Hahaha Is there a pool question who will win the game? LOL. Rather how big will the winning margin be. TBH we should be happy if we can avoid a historic humiliation.

All I hope from my team is to avoid setting some negative record.

IF Aus bat first and score 300 It will be great job done by Afghan bowling. In response making above 100 will be respectable. Making 200 will be remarkable.

If we bat first and make anything between 150-200 then we would have done greatly.

Avoid humiliation please.

Nah I genune believe you guys can restrict Aus to under 250 would still loose by 100+ though.

He's talking about Starc FFS.

Faulkner proved his fitness?

And all Perth matches taking place in span of a week or 8 days. Could have spread them out more.

Obviously Afghanistan can't win this but I want them to do well.

[Gnske]

oh no what if mitch marsh bats at 3 again

Just another note in the long list of slights made by the team against a man who only tries his best.

BAH GOD

I think it's a show of respect. We don't want Afghanistan to think we're treating them like minnows by playing Watson.

Is nine not showing this? Can't see it on the schedule.

 

[Burgey]

If these ****s leave me out I won't do an essay ever again.

Twatto finally dropped. Selectors showing rare balls of steel.

On Gem in glorious HD.

 

[Spikey]

Real balls of steel would have been making this decision following a victory, not a loss

 

[Spark]

please bat normally

 

[Antihippy]

My prediction of low scores after the century for finch is proving correct so far.

On the bright side it increases the chances of him getting a century in the knockout games.

 

[James]

Afghanistan really showing their class with the ball again. To my eyes at least, their bowlers are so much better than any other associate nation which is surprising given how new the players are to international cricket.

Switched to this over Pakistan vs. UAE until I fall asleep.
