26th Match - Australia v Afghanistan

[Spark]

part of this is unavoidable -- i remember plenty of incidents of teams being 1/150+ after 30 but then not really accelerating until the 40th over, which i always found strange

The Afghanis taught us a chant when Hamid bowls:

Sher bacche

I think it means son of a tiger or something.

Aye.

 

[Flem274*]

get in line ffs

 

[Spark]

this could be unpleasant

 

[Flem274*]

they see a big tall fast bowler every net sesh tubbs

doesn't mean they're any good though

 

[dermo]

some of the rubbish they've bowled is because they were trying for yorkers though

this guy gets it

 

[Flem274*]

was going to comment on how long ghani wasn't going to last after being caught out plodding forward to starc but he played that yorker damn well

ahmadi is fun but he's very...not one to play this bowling well. needs to at least get in line.

 

[Flem274*]

hope aussie take ages to realise ghani is a front foot plodder

 

[Spark]

please put that shot away

 

[Spark]

i hope stanikzai stays in for a bit. this could be entertaining

 

[Flem274*]

stanikzai wag.

so gutted it's bed time

 

[Spark]

carn stanikzai

 

[Dan]

Remember when Steve Smith was the other guy in one of those catches and Ponting lost his cool? Good times.

 

[Spark]

hahahahaha smith

 

[Antihippy]

I know they don't have much experience against a bowler like MJ but that was mind bogglingly dumb batting.

Wow.

 

[Spark]

marsh was genuinely calling for it too

 

[Dan]

Well they ain't chasing 400, and the NRR isn't gonna help them, so may as well have some fun while you're out there I guess.

 

[Antihippy]

If they really do want to be serious about this though having your number 3 play like mohammed shami is not the way to go, with all due respect to mohammed shami.

 

[Spark]

is this the "i'm ****ing bored" bowling change or the "i'd feel bad if we bowled them out too fast" bowling change?
