[Howe_zat]

Such a Misbah innings.

After Nabi there is no hope for Afganistan

 

[SteveNZ]

you are ****ing kidding. that's outside the line every day of the week

I know Ian Taylor will tell me otherwise but that's a rat-arse decision. It never looked out - was a piss poor call on field, and should never have been umpire's call. Oh well, it happened in a minnow game, that'll keep the fallout to a minimum.

If you're an umpire, and that decision you deem to be beyond reasonable doubt (as the law suggests) then I hope for your future job prospects you have musical talents close to your similarly-visioned friends S.Wonder and R.Charles.

 

[Athlai]

Haters, where you at?

Solid showing from bangers.

 

[NUFAN]

I would have given Mortaza MotM today.

Mushfiqur and Shakib performed virtually the same with the bat.

 

[dfrinku]

What is going on with Hayden's microphone? He's talking way too close to it and his Ps are really popping. ****in' Canberra.

Worst mindset.

But New Zealand weren't playing in this match.

I wish your country as much luck as you had producing humour in that post.

And yes MW, I agree - a crap decision is a crap decision. But you won't read about it, where you would've in a bigger game in a tighter situation. I doubt a top-line umpire would've given it, however.

wow.....bangers really surprised me. Comprehensive victory

 

[Antihippy]

Wasn't able to see the afghani's batting innings, but man, they really need to fix their consistency in order to challenge the test nations.

Also probably should have played usman ghani, but that's neither here nor there.

 

[Danybravo]

Afghanistan proved to be a good team but their today's performance is not up to date.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Missed the match, good win I guess

In fairness, they've only been playing (sporadically) at this level for a brief time. How long has it taken Ireland to get to the level they have now?

I especially liked their pace bowling unit. Wasn't it supposed to be non-existent according to haters?

I was always expecting good things from Mortaza and Taskin. Rubel surprised me with his consistency in the first few overs.

 

[Pratters]

Loved Rubel Hossain's bowling today. Pacey and superb lengths. Bangladesh is an improving side. May not be among the best in the world or exceptional, but they are certainly at a better place than they were say 5 years ago, in their development.

The way Afghanistan has improved, it is tremendous. Their batting is weak, yes. However, I don't expect them to challenge test teams without more grass roots activities to improve cricket. The fact that they have achieved so much is amazing in itself.

The best thing is that it isn't all just Shakib, Rahim now. The new guys coming into the team are less spuddy every year.

 

[Pratters]

I know. That young lean bowler regularly hitting 140s was so good to watch.

 

[Athlai]

Needs to sort out how he carries the ball though.
