He'll get the piss pulled out of him when he arrives back in Chester-Le.

Rashid Khan is picking up wickets for fun, and when the team needs him to.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Was McCarthy dropped? Peter Chase is playing I know. I spotted Poynter on the plane with Durham going to Dubai so presumably he was not even selected!

Good to see my boi Rahmat Shah getting the hang of limited overs batting.

While I want to be into associate cricket, I feel like any match where Kevin O'Brien takes wickets shouldn't really count

Stirling's leggies are even more ekh than the original incarnation of his darty offies were too, and he took six the other day.

If Gulbodin wins it for them in this spell however the match can be considered valid again

 

[anil1405]

Rahmat Shah can bat. He's probably the answer to Afghanistan's woes at the top of the order.

So yeah, this again.

 

[S.Kennedy]

That series looks like it was exciting. 3-2 Afghanistan. 2-2 going into the last game so no dead rubbers. .

Afghanistan are playing 1 seamer and opened the bowling with Nabi. wtf.

with the man Rashid Khan around they don't need many bowlers TBF.

 

[Scaly piscine]

You do wonder how Ireland haven't started to pick him by now.

 

[Daemon]

Yep. 3/5 wickets were googlies, and another one was O'Brien padding up to the legbreak thinking it was a googly. Sad!

 

[Howe_zat]

Rashid Khan has 17 FC wickets and he's midway through his second match.

I bet like 10 of those are googlies

Seriously, watching highlights of his bowling and he keeps getting wickets with it. It's ridiculous

 

[anil1405]

Rashid Khan to O'Brien, OUT, fuller ball outside the off stump. He has decided in his mind to dictate terms to Rashid. He gets a top-edge and Zazai runs to his right and takes the catch
NJ O'Brien c †Afsar Zazai b Rashid Khan 15 (19m 15b 2x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

The Irish have tried everything to counter him without much success. Would be interesting to see how he performs against top batsmen.

 

[grecian]

Face it, Rashid is just unreadable, bit like Ulysses.

 

[Gnske]

Might as well just give Afghanistan a shot now at Tests tbqh, screw waiting a year.

 

[Howe_zat]

what a pasting
