Afghanistan v Scotland at Sharjah: Matchday Thread; Mon 25/10

[Pup Clarke]

Who is this South African commentator? He doesn't say much that's not obvious, but he's articulate and pronounces South Asian names almost like a native, which I respect.

Maybe Steyn?

Rashid Khan seems to look younger every time I see him

 

[Aritro]

His official age is a prediction of how young he will be in four years

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Maybe Steyn?

It was already confirmed that it was the Welshman Alan Wilkins

Get these Afghan players tested for steroids and get their bats checked for any illegal substance used, Zazai especially. How da **** can they smack it with such ease.

All 5 longest sixes hit in this tournament belong to them now.

Probably best to wait until they have played a decent team

 

[The_roc]

Yeah, yer Afghans will embarrass a better team than the Sweaties this tournament.

Some very serious power and wonderful spin options.

Couldn't find anyone much worse

Has got nothing to do with the opposition but it's about how effortlessly they are smacking those sixes while it looks like they aren't even using their full brut force.

Yeah it's bizarre. When he started out and was supposedly 17/18 it was so funny because he practically looked middle-aged. Now it's like he's aged backwards and looks like a guy in his mid-20s.

Same with Afridi.

 

[thierry henry]

Same with Afridi.

I was legit gonna mention him in my post but decided it was a bit random.

Afridi was the world's oldest-looking teenager but now he almost seems too young to be however old he is (somewhere between 41 and 46....probably 44).

Reassuring to know it’s not just me?

 

[Prince EWS]

All those Afghanistan flags

@NUFAN

 

[pomnotenglish]

Absolutely wild thought... Will AFG win the t20 world cup?

 

[cnerd123]

Disappointing from the Scots but Afghanistan are a serious T20 outfit, and as I mentioned earlier many of them will be playing for their careers here. Who knows what their International careers will look like after this WC, they all need to impress here and lock down some franchise T20 contracts.

Hope they go far.
