did afghanistan decide to celebrate movember in february? jesus christ

 

[ajdude]

eugh that's missing leg. go away billy

 

[Prince EWS]

Nabi gone, that's the game.

That long third wicket partnership really didn't do them much good really. You don't want Nabi coming out in the first 20 overs so sending Narwoz out at #4 was the right move but after they'd batted 8 or so overs they really should have got a move on. Too much for Nabi to do when he came in.

Ajmal's interview comfortably the most entertaining period of today's telecast

I mean, did they really stand a chance against Ajmal if they didn't convert most of his deliveries into full tosses with foot movement? Not surprised.

Ajmal doesn't bowl that full that taking two steps out of the crease would make the delivery a full toss

 

[Shri]

Obv meant the fuller balls he bowled/can bowl. An off day. Like in that T20 game against Hussey.

 

[smash84]

that wasn't really an off day for Ajmal. He wasn't bowling bad balls. Just that Hussey was insane in those last 2 overs against Pakistan

 

[hendrix]

Think Afghanistan is my new favourite team. That bowling attack is seriously good. Not just surprisingly good. Actually, genuinely good by international standards.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

What's happened to Maqsood?

 

[honestbharani]

Think Afghanistan is my new favourite team. That bowling attack is seriously good. Not just surprisingly good. Actually, genuinely good by international standards.

I actually think it is quite better than India's

 

[smash84]

the one thing that I find really irritating about this asia cup is that the toss plays a huge role in deciding the outcome of this match.

And Afg were really stupid to have won the toss and put pakistan into bat yesterday

 

[CricAddict]

I actually think it is quite better than India's

Their fast bowlers are better than India.

Shapoor > Ishant
Dawlat > Bhuvaneshwar
Hamid Hassan = Shami

But indian spinners are definitely better

Shenwari < Ashwin
Kotak < Jadeja

On medium pace, Mirwas Ashraf >> Kohli :P

 

[hendrix]

dunno, I quite like the look of Shenwari, and I've never really rated Ashwin and have no idea what's going on with him now.

 

[CricAddict]

India are going in with a bowler short. Need to put 300 on the board to be competitive.

 

[CricAddict]

And why are they not playing Pujara? He can play instead of any batsman in the side apart from Kohli. He is better than all of them.

 

[hendrix]

India are going in with a bowler short. Need to put 300 on the board to be competitive.

yeah well Kohli said that Afghanistan's medium pacers did well...I'm not sure whether Binny would do the same job but it's an interesting call.

 

[CricAddict]

dunno, I quite like the look of Shenwari, and I've never really rated Ashwin and have no idea what's going on with him now.

Yeah, Shenwari looks very promising but bowls quite a few loose balls in the middle.

 

[YorksLanka]

disappointed that we have dropped lakmal for mendis, given that India play spin realy well but i dont have the luxury of seeing the wicket and Angie does..looking forward to a cracking game. I am naturallyhoping for a SL win, but good luck to both teams..

 

[OverratedSanity]

Exactly two years since Kohli's Hobart ton. Even with all the ridiculous innings he's pulled off since then, that still remains the most ridiculous one
