***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm Afghanistan rather long odds considering. Would be tempted if I was a gambler.

 

[ajdude]

openers not looking too bad, sadiq in particular is timing it well

gorgeous shot by noor ali through the on side

if this was bangladesh, tamim would be out by now

 

[Jayzamann]

I never really got a handle on the Farhat and Malik hatred.

It's nepotism, isn't it?

Also as a general thought, really loving what this match means for Afghanistan.

 

[ajdude]

i think farhat's similar to faisal iqbal in that he has connections within the PCB therefore is criticised for being a biased selection

**** me dead karim sadiq's awesome hahaha

 

[Jayzamann]

As much as I find Pakistan likable, I find Afghanistan infinitely more likable.

Also happy that we get to see Samiullah Shenwari's manly handsome face today.

 

[ajdude]

they're looking so much more confident than in the 2010 world twenty20, really great to see

nevermind, fed it to gul on a spoon there

 

[Jayzamann]

Sadiq's a total mad ****. Love it.

 

[ajdude]

that was such a clean strike, kinda glad younus put him down next ball haha

 

[Jayzamann]

So pretty much nothing is off the cards tonight then.

 

[Spark]

reverse sweep for six off ajmal? this guy is a legend

 

[ajdude]

had a feeling afridi might make a breakthrough here but **** that reverse sweep was incredible

no matter what happens from here, afghanistan have by no means disgraced themselves

 

[Xuhaib]

Afghans play a very entertaining brand of cricket. Can see many neutrals adopting them as their 2nd team if they start playing regularly.

 

[ajdude]

hafeez is on, cue tamim (sadiq) to get out here

 

[ganeshran]

Afridi is an expert minnow basher

 

[smash84]

Afridi is an ODI gun....should have concentrated on his bowling a long time back

 

[Jayzamann]

Actual think there's gonna be more people there tonight than there were at the WACA earlier.

 

[Spark]

Actual think there's gonna be more people there tonight than there were at the WACA earlier.

There are I think. 15k predicted here, 13.5k at the WACA

 

[Scaly piscine]

Well that's a hammer blow for the neutrals. Best batsman remaining gets run out.

 

[Z-Man]

Hahaha I love these Afghanis.

Saeed Ajmal being hammered. English need lessons.

 

[Z-Man]

Reverse sweep for six against Afridi.


LOL!
