Yeah looks great for batting so far. Actually a little more carry than I expected.

 

[smash84]

SL should lose today and just get the hell out of this tournament, make it simple

Rahmat Shah said he based his batting technique on virat kholi

Can we ever trust you again after the lies you told us about Shahzad?

Are you referring to the idolizing Sehwag bit or something else?

The idolising Sehwag bit. Given it was actually Dhoni, there's every chance Rahmat modelled himself off Kane Williamson instead.

Afghans wasting a good platform here why are they not playing any shots against the part time spinners

 

[weldone]

To be fair to slippy, sometimes idols may change over the years. For example, it is common knowledge that Kohli always idolized Tendulkar - but there's an interview from his U-19 days on youtube where Kohli says his favorite batsman was Herschelle Gibbs!

 

[Black_Warrior]

This just shows what a cracking tournament this is going to be. Afghan competing like this will make the next round so good

HK beat Afghanistan, so if Afghanistan win here, that means that HK is better than Sri Lanka.

Ashgar Afghan said he always based his batting base on Rahul Dravid

SL beat Bangladesh in the tri series in Bangladesh, so SL is better than Bangladesh.

 

[Borges]

Right. So, we may end up with the empirical verification of the *****-slippy inequality: Hong Kong > Afghanistan > Sri Lanka > Bangladesh.

Correction: the *****-randycricfreak inequality.

Hong Kong would have topped group B comfortably

Please stop posting like this is Cricinfo comment section ffs. You just got truly spanked by Bangladesh, after trying to mock *****/Bangladesh on a different thread last week, accept it.

 

[Prince EWS]

I remember the first time I checked the official ICC T20I rankings, Hong Kong were eighth. Good times.

They've slipped to fifteenth in that format now.

 

[cnerd123]

Hong Kong also beat Bangladesh in a T20 the last time they played each other

Bangladesh are clearly better than Sri Lanka

Further evidence that HK > Sri Lanka
