Not cumdogs day

 

[King Kane]

Start the car

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Talented bunch aren't they. Not to be underestimated.

 

[DriveClub]

Honestly why is David in this side? Massive dud

Same for Wade useless against spin, rather Inglis play

 

[Arachnodouche]

lmao@Thunderstruck playing with Aus on the brink

 

[James]

Afghanistan odds on for the semis from here you'd have to say. Can they do a 1996 Sri Lanka!

 

[King Kane]

Should have been a run out there but it probably won't matter now.

 

[DriveClub]

Agar to hit 6 sixes and bring it home

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Should have been a run out there but it probably won't matter now.

They can get over excited and rash. A bit more poise here and there and they could be a seriously good side.

 

[morgieb]

**** Afghanistan have pulled off about 3-4 stupid catches this innings.

Meanwhile Australia have dropped some pretty simple ones.

 

[King Kane]

Guns out Gulbadin with another great catch.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Another great grab

 

[Spikey]

Very rarely do you get karma in sport, but dropping starc for agar was a crime

 

[Qlder]

Australia should have forfeited playing AFG like usual. Would have saved their NRR

Can't agree more, if you want to play an extra spinner I would've dropped Cummins or Haze. Starc is the only one who can land the yorkers

 

[Gob]

Well that's that for Australia for the tournament really

Even if they beat India which is unlikely. Afghanistan has the Bangladesh game after that

I don't understand why you'd play three spinners against a side whose own strength is spin. I mean, if I'm in any team and I have a choice between facing Starc or Agar, it's pretty obvious which I'm taking.

 

[Qlder]

This means 5 of the top 8 seeds could be eliminated. NZ, Pak, SL, Aus and Eng (after they lose to USA tomorrow)

Also why they opted to chase on a spinning track
