T20 World Cup

@MN5 we were incredibly unprepared in the windies so shouldn’t have that excuse. Close to a home game for a reasonably strong Afghanistan outfit.
No upsets yet although very close for Pakistan and India, are we the first?

Afghanistan a tricky team to play in sub continent conditions.
a very good spin bowling group and a couple of dangerous bats.
We will have to bat well to win this game especially through the middle overs and not get shut down.

Saw a couple of Indian pundits talking on Cricinfo - they seemed to be suggesting Afghanistan are a bit off form - especially batting - and were picking SA and us to advance out of the group - but, it will obviously be "on the day".

Good enough for me, one or a couple of our boys will score big. Huge win coming up.

@MN5 I'm optimistic - until I'm not!

Heads is the call, Rashid has called right. Afghanistan will bat

[bayimports]

Bowling has needed work so far, lets see if we can get it together and not have to chase too much

[Chris B.]

Bit surprised they went for Neesham over Bracewell.

[bayimports]

Great first over from Duffy

[bayimports]

nz fielding goes back to a circus act

[bayimports]

Big chance lost, three nz shirts run for same ball

Still 15/0 after 3

[bayimports]

Duffy pick of bowlers so far

[Chris B.]

Fucking call for it!!!!

If you can get there call. If you can't pull up short!

"Yours!"

Gurbaz gets the Afghan innings going on last 2 balls game on

[Chris B.]

Looks high!

my first thought too

[bayimports]

Change of bowler brings some luck, Lachy gets one, gurbaz still at crease though

[Chris B.]

Lots of mis-hits in the air but not going to hand. Runout chances missed.

But, Ferg does the job!

Yeah - gotta get Gurbaz quickly!

‘Experience’…….

Hopefully the pie shop is closed today and he isn’t required to bowl

[Chris B.]

Gurbaz doesn't mind showing you his stumps!
