LOL, “Tendulkar‘s” been in a good paddock.

fmd Hayden talks in circles

Yep, we’ve decided that you’re a flog who wasted 5 mins of everyone’s life arguing with the umps instead of getting off the ground.

Well deserved hundred to Ibrahim, despite his best attempts to run himself out on 99.

Was there a suggestion somewhere that it was mandatory to wear a helmet re. yesterday's kerfuffle? Because Rashid isn't wearing one, so it can't be mandatory (at least against spin anyway, and that's what Shakib bowls)

Nope, don't need one when batting vs spin.

Keeper up to the stumps and close in fielders in front of the bat however need to wear one

Fairly sure that was a clean catch by Stoinis, but there can be few winners when reviewing slow mo that’s not high speed enough.

Dumb/stupid bowling from Starc. Mind numbing.

5/291 is their highest wc score

Hazlewood the pick of the bowlers and Captain Woke doesn’t give him the full quota and instead bowls himself and gets tonked

Dumb bowling indeed, but also brilliant batting.

I think Afghanistan will be rueing that they lost to Bangladesh and quite possibly is what will cost them a semi finals berth. Rubbish bowling or not, they look like semi finals material.

Yep, made some strange calls. Giving Maxwell his last over and not using Hazelwood for his ten overs were a couple of them. Ibrahim the first Afghan to make a century in World Cup, and their highest score as DOC said. Will be tough chase with their gun spinners.

Better form than NZ currently?

Going to be an interessting run chase, lose a couple early and will be more than interesting.

Very late night coming up

Yes - won the last 3, NZ lost the last 4

ZERO footwork from Trav and he goes. 1/4.

Like a moth to a flame.

Warner and Rashid at each other.. Surely Rashid comes on now hoping to get Warner.

Love the feistiness from the Afghans, Rashid will never die wondering.
