And they get to 295! Sensational stuff.

Great effort, Afghanistan could easily be the top Associate & even run down Bangladesh in no time, if their facilities are developed & a proper structure is formed.

295 surely the highest score by any nation on ODI debut.

Anyone have a full list anywhere?

Early wicket for Kenya.

Might be time to give him a break after that over though.

Hopefully with their new funding they'll be able to afford to fly him in for matches.
