First/Group Round - Group B - Scotland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Hong Kong

[Pratters]

It's not like they bowl bad deliveries. They are just ordinary and they will be terrible even without straying. Why would you bet on Zimbabwe though. Quite odd.

I just got on them at $3 2 balls before Shahzad got out. Their batting's capable of chasing down a reasonable target, though form is probably not on their side.

They have won a match here and their to be fair!

Its more of an in running side, most of the associates (which they are tbh) I always cover myself on them, but was always a little to trustworthy with Zimbabwe.

Anyway everyone has an irrational hatred, mine is Zimbabwe cricket

Never really cared for t20 but I've been enjoying this pre-tournament a lot. Maybe because I'm not as familiar with the players so I'm less inclined to compare the format to ODIs/FC/test cricket and just watch the game. Really interesting contest here anyway.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, same Fuller. Been fun to watch the tournament so far. Also, I think it's not meaningless games. Quite looking forward to even matches of the test playing nations.

 

[Pratters]

I am confused by all these Indians in the crowd celebrating every four as if they have won the lottery.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

That was definitely out for me. Can't understand that third umpire decision.

Hate third umpire for catches.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah was out ..

 

[Aaron510]

what a great over that was? I really really enjoyed the last two shots from sami..

How do you guys rate shahzad?

 

[Tom Flint]

Who was on strike for the 3rd umpire call? If it weren't for that, the missed stumping and a ridiculous amount of extras, Zimbabwe might have kept this down to a very chase able total

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Was Samiullah who was given not out on the catch decision. He was on 14 off 24 at the time, so pretty big decision.

 

[Pratters]

I don't see how it could have been given not out at all. Usually there is this angle which confuses whether the ball bounced on the ground or not. Here, it was clean under the fielder's hands.

 

[fredfertang]

Could be crucial too - I can't see the Zimbos getting these

 

[mr_mister]

dammit Vusi wtf was that

 

[Jono]

Said it before, Afghan are just a better team than Zimbabwe.

 

[Pratters]

Great to see Afghanistan on the verge of qualifying. Best story to come out of cricket last 7-8 years.

 

[Pratters]

Afghanistan has improved a lot in the last 12 months. Their bowling is quite good for an associate though the batting needs improvement.

 

[Pratters]

I really like Rashid. Can't believe he is just 17 and can bowl as sharply as he can giving the ball so much rip.
