*Official* Afghanistan and Bangladesh tour of India 2018

[trundler]

Fmd, brain fart. Excuse me this is what a month of starving yourself does

 

[Borges]

This is just not fair. Rashid bowls all over the place and gets taken to the cleaners. Jadeja bowls all over the place and picks up three cheap wickets.

 

[weldone]

uh Afghanistan

 

[Starfighter]

And I thought that out of Ireland and Afghanistan it was Ireland who were most likely to start like this.


Jadeja's bowling average is going to be a pretty difficult thing to explain in a few decades' time.

Not necessarily. Playing India in India is brutal and England are at a bit of a low ebb atm

As I mentioned in another thread, a decade from now people will be saying Ashwin> Miller

Well this is why we take into account how much someone plays against minnows in ATG threads

Demonstrates the importance of home/away records too

No. We cherry pick statistics to 'prove' that our favoured player is better than some one else's favoured player.

When was that Ireland-England match?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Whoops. Meant Pak. But point stands, Pakistan aren't exactly what they were before MisYou retired

We're never getting rid of Ishant, are we?

 

[harsh.ag]

Ishant is probably better than Umesh now. Weird af

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why would we want to now when he's finally not terrible

 

[Starfighter]

Has Umesh ever gotten better though?

 

[vcs]

Why would we want to now when he's finally not terrible

Root and company will slap him around for fun again this summer.

But it's highly likely that we just don't have anyone better.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Has Umesh ever gotten better though?

He was great in the 2016-17 home season.

Honestly Ishant and Umesh are both all right at the moment. Bhuvi-Shami(if he's fit)-Umesh-Hardik would be my attack in England but wouldn't mind Ishant

 

[Starfighter]

I was going to ask when the last two day test was. Anyone remember than match SA against Zim last year? Anyone at all?

 

[Starfighter]

Well... that's that I s'pose.

 

[srbhkshk]

Wafadar and Hastamullah the only (somewhat) positives.

I hope wafadar has a good career, lots of meme potential there.
