Group A First Round - Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal, Hong Kong

[Prince EWS]

OK Richard.

That's all right Lukic.

I said it before but given the India-Nepal border is open, Ranji Trophy teams would be absolutely mad not to look at Paras Khadka; he's a class bat. For all I know they already have and he's not interested but I'd be highly surprised if he couldn't cut it in Indian domestic cricket.

It seems the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is pretty open. Have you seen any Pakistan players Afghanistan should be interested in?

Samiullah Shenwari and Mohammed Nabi for sure. Hard hitters of the ball and almost full time spinners. Ajmal with two of them instead of Hafeez and Afridi, looks very stable. On the other hand India would love to have two Zadrans and Hamid Hassan.

Great win by Nepal against Afghanistan now. Amazing achievement considering they don't even have an international stadium in their country.

 

[Prince EWS]

I have to say, I have absolutely no idea why Bangladesh are picking Sabbir ahead of Mominul or Shamsur.

So frustrating watching HK play. They look pretty sharp with the ball, but **** me they're **** in the field.

 

[BeeGee]

This is awesome. Come on HK!!

Edit: Top stuff to bowl the Bangas out for 108. Now get the runs.

 

[BeeGee]

Irfan Ahmed. Gun.

 

[turnstyle]

Reckon they'll fall short by a bit. Shame.

The spinners (even with the dew) should easily wrap this up. Still though, good effort by honkers. Would've loved to have seen Nepal get through just to stick it up this pretty **** Bangladesh team, even if it meant having to listen to everyone cry about how they ruined the tournament.

Shakib is all over Atkinson like a cheap suit, but Irfan has got this.

Edit: Amazing shot!

 

[BeeGee]

Wow, what a catch.

If you think about it, this lot of Associates are doing better job against the full members than Canada/Scotland/Holland were in 2006/7 when they first got ODI status. It'll be interesting to see if Nepal and HK have any depth or get any matches against the other Asian teams.

 

[Pothas]

Ahh this probably will not happen now.

 

[turnstyle]

Predictable. Reckon the Deshis will win by 50.

Their bowling has impressed, they just need to improve their fielding and find some decent batsmen.

 

[BeeGee]

Spanked.

 

[BeeGee]

I thought he hit that.

I guess not.

 

[Daemon]

Tanvir wafc.

 

[Daemon]

Dar is going to have an aneurysm

 

[BeeGee]

Really good batting in the final over. Great stuff.

Congrats to HK!!
