28th Match - India v Afghanistan

[Borges]

Hmm.. This is a tough pitch to bat on; Afghanistan have to bat sensibly.

what the hell is virat arguing about

 

[ajdude]

The chase is low enough for a few sneaky knocks to get them there

hopefully like their chase against scotland in 2015. loved big shapoor zadran making runs at the end

oh man samiullah shenwari's 96, went out going for a third (or fourth?) six in a row

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli's such a douchebag. Get on with it it's not out

 

[Burgey]

don't think this was complacency tbh. afghan spinners have bowled well and the pacers have been adequate, and that's enough to trouble what is a fairly limited batting line-up without dhawan.

So they’re trash. Awesome. Australia firming by the day.

He is upset that half of the ball pitched within the stumps and the review should have been retained. Should move on with the game.

Kohli's behaviour has been outrageously poor

 

[Bahnz]

Hazratullah looks like a bad number 10, not an opening bat.

 

[GotSpin]

When do we believe?

I feel a bit sorry for him

"Wears his emotions like a badge of honour, it's great!" - about Virat whinging about a correct umpiring decision.

When most of us stop posting here.

Wickets will win this easily for India. But if Afghanistan play sensibly and don't lose too many in 40 overs then India will panic in last 40 regardless of how many wickets left.

but there's never been umpires call for pitching on leg; what's the point of him taking it up with illingworth instead of the ICC haha

I mean he had the worst bowling figures ever in the last innings so not so sure about that.

It was meant to be sarcasm - I saw he got Dhoni stumped after I posted that

 

[GotSpin]

Every run without losing a wicket is just gold here

He is too hot headed to be using his brain during these situations.

He's too emotional to be captaining India perhaps

Good start from both teams. Looking forward to a close match.
