8th Match - Afghanistan v England

[Red_Ink_Squid]

No pressure Jos, bat 25+ overs to (temporarily) save your job.

 

[Athlai]

The win predictor at 79% Afghanistan seems a bit odd. The bookies have England as 4-6 favourites.

But maybe it knew Brook was about to do something stupid.

Win predictor is just team A vs team B and doesn't know who the teams are

If they did you'd think they'd have it at 89%.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ah man.

I knew Brook was about to do something stupid.

 

[Silver Silva]

Ghazanfar is such a huge miss for Afghanistan, England don't play mystery spin well

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

England don't play spin well

Fixed there for you

 

[Molehill]

Brook looks broken and distraught in the changing room. Something seems very wrong in there to be honest.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

England don't play well

Fixed there for you

Fixed it more.

 

[Molehill]

Fixed it more.

Careful, people who do too much fixing for others can end up with the wrong reputation....

Buttler really struggling here

 

[SkyBlue]

Joel Wilson as always coming to England's rescue

That looked plumb

 

[Calm_profit]

This Joel shouldn't be doing umpiring.

 

[Molehill]

Buttler really struggling here

He looks a mess. Needs to hand over the reins straight after this comp has finished.

Clipping the top of leg is not plumb though is it. Good decision

 

[Molehill]

Well it wasn’t was it?

Barely clipping the top of leg stump, seemed a good decision really (especially for Wilson).

 

[SkyBlue]

Well it wasn’t was it?

Posted that before seeing the ball tracking

Afghanistan really needed that umpire's call to go their way

England really should walk this in from here right? Only an Alan Donald/Lance Klusener 1999 level of brain melt could see them lose from here.

They're about 35 runs ahead of where Afghanistan were at the same stage, for the same wickets down.

We are 2 wickets from potentially buggering up
