*Official Match #13 - England v Afghanistan 15th October.

[_Ed_]

This is so good from the opening pair so far. Hope they and the rest of the batting line-up can kick on.

 

[Nintendo]

Ominous from AFG so far. England's middle over bowling really isn't amazing, gonna need one of wood/rashid to go crazy after this start or england are gonna be looking at a BIG target.

**** off Jos you absolute clown

 

[kevinw]

This is bat first, Jos is an idiot.

Morgan built a great team which thrived under his captaincy. Buttler took over a great team but is handicapping it with his mediocre captaincy.

 

[GIMH]

There’s been some rank balls but he’s also putting the decent ones away.

 

[BazBall21]

Ageing Woakes and Curran in the same attack was never right. Can't happen again after this farce.

 

[GIMH]

**** off Jos you absolute clown

Let’s wait and see mate. Generally been a bowl first tournament

 

[ashley bach]

Rashid to be the man for England today.

Is that to do with the evening dew under the lights?

 

[number11]

This bowling bites.
I mean the lads should chase down anything the Ghans post, but not good to get carted like this.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah. Weird overreaction to the bowl first thing.

Being annoyed at the quality of the bowling might be more understandable. Mostly this has just been really fun to watch though.

 

[GIMH]

Is that to do with the evening dew under the lights?

In some games yeah. The India Australia one was ridiculous, all the Oz players carried towels because the ball was getting so wet.

& England prefer chasing anyway.

 

[Spark]

Is that to do with the evening dew under the lights?

A lot of that has also been to do with the side batting first shitting the bed tbh

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Woakes was clearly under team orders to ensure the batsman have a target to chase.



...he was under team orders, right?

 

[Aidan11]

That's a very good powerplay for Afghanistan.

 

[GIMH]

You’ve got some nerve showing up here right now

 

[kevinw]

England need to hope AFG are scared of Wood.

 

[Aidan11]

Rashid on now.

Haway Rash. Let's have a couple in your first over.

 

[mackembhoy]

Morgan built a great team which thrived under his captaincy. Buttler took over a great team but is handicapping it with his mediocre captaincy.

Yeah I've found Buttler a poor captain.

 

[Aidan11]

Fielding has been poor so far.
