7th Match - Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

[trundler]

Nabi you slick ****er

 

[Arachnodouche]

I heard Isa Guha talk about the "Kamla Pasand Key Battle" during the innings break of one of the matches.

I think I might be permanently scarred from that experience.

Lmfao sounds like a village mukhiya's last stand

Nabi continuing to fly the flag for the finger-spin master-race.

Do Afghanistan have what it takes to change 300?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That is racism

Hardly racism. Probably heightism though.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Afghani outfielding is extremely heavy footed. Not very good at figuring out angles to approaching balls at all.

 

[Zinzan]

Excellent SL thus far.

The Afghan rambo is down on pace.

 

[morgieb]

Gulbadin is losing the plot.

 

[Spark]

This is going to be a gigantic score.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I guarantee Angelo won't be hiding at 6 today. He'll be trying to push the other Kusal out of 4 - good day to pad some stats

 

[trundler]

Absolute carnage. Rude awakening for Afghanistan.

 

[trundler]

Well some of us clearly overestimated them. Struggling with the basics today. No reason for a medium pacer to bowl a no ball.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Minnow meltdown in full effect

 

[Zinzan]

This is going to be a gigantic score.

It should be, but I wouldn't put it past the Lankans to fail to capitalise on such a start.

They're no strangers to rapid starts, only to be bowled out not batting the overs.

Cricbuzz has the list of fastest Sri Lankans to 3,000 runs. Not an order I would've picked:

Tharanga fastest, Atapattu 2nd, then Thirimanne (got there today), Mahela, Chandimal, Sanga.

No Dilshan and I guess Aravinda played in a much tougher era.

de Silva didn't blossom immediately either.

 

[trundler]

****ing hell that was a ripper

 

[trundler]

That's a terrible shot. The leftie v offie meme continues

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Nice spell from Hamid here, good comeback after getting tanked early on

 

[Spark]

Nabi what a hero

 

[trundler]

Okay that one's a genuine ripper. Classic off spin delivery. Afghanistan right back in.
