Well played camel humpers.

Is it necessary to be racist while congratulating Afghanistan on their win?

unforgivable

According to Adam Peacock on Willow Talk Mitch Marsh said it was due to the conditions but like Brad Haddin said Afghanistan would of taken confidence not seeing Starc on Australia's team sheet given his strike power in the powerplay and their clear strength being their opening batsmen.

What was with the Stoinis send off?

Louis Cameron on the Unplayable Podcast match review said Gurbaz gave Stoinis a similar hand gesture whilst facing Stoinis a little earlier before his dismissal and the verbals between the two continued on when Stoinis came out to bat. When Stoinis was dismissed Gurbaz gave him a send off and ultimately got the last laugh with Afghanistan winning.

Afghani openers probably had a sleepless night thinking about 150km/h inswinging yorkers only to come out and face Agars nude nuts. They would have been thinking all their Eids have come at once.

Absolutely and on that note I saw this article this morning-

Australia's captain and coach defended the "tough decision" to leave Mitchell Starc out for their defeat to Afghanistan, which has left them reliant on other results ahead of their final Super Eight fixture against India in St Lucia on Monday.

On a slow, turning pitch in St Vincent, Australia opted to play only two frontline seamers - Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood - and brought Ashton Agar into the side in Starc's place, as a second specialist spinner alongside Adam Zampa. Agar bowled tidily, taking 0 for 17 in his four overs, but Afghanistan's 118-run opening stand brought Starc's absence as a new-ball strike bowler into focus.

"It's always a tough decision to leave Mitch Starc out of a team," Andrew McDonald, Australia's coach said. "But from the way that the game unfolded, Ashton was suited to these conditions and we needed to make room. We knew we were going to need more than eight overs of spin on that surface and it's probably something we've been planning and preparing for once we knew we were at this venue.
"It's always a difficult decision. You never know whether you're right or wrong, but I thought Ashton bowled incredibly well today, used his skill, some good arm-balls, found some purchase early and he made it tricky to navigate through those first few overs. We got two [overs] out [of him] in the powerplay which then set up the bowling for that end with him and Zamps operating. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take those early wickets."

Mitchell Marsh, Australia's captain, said Starc had been "unlucky" to miss out but added: "We've said right from the start of the tournament that we've got 15 guys here, and we'll pick a team that we think can win us the game in those certain conditions, and everything pointed towards Ash… The reality is, when you've got this much talent, someone's always unlucky to miss out."

Did watch it live Locky? How was Australia's chase live? I watched the highlights and Aus looked like they were in a good position after the 10th over and especially the 11th, Head tried his best to win it. Rohit went ham at the start!

They lost there way in the last 7 overs, coiuldnt find the boundary at all, Marsh out to a brilliant catch prior to that probably won the game for India as he was batting superbly, India bowled well, especially Yadav and only way they could score off him was reverse sweeping. Once Head was gone who batted superbly want much hope, stoinis out to a ridiculous reverse sweep only 4th ball he faced and the rest werent up to it with Burmrah and Arshdeep bowling well at the death

Sets it up nicely for Afghanistan to win.

Should have listened to Mark Waugh at start of tournament, picked them to win at $26

[The Bedge]

Bangas might steal the win and Aussies go through, end up winning it all

[locky801]

Cant understand Afghanistans batting here, in the 14th over and 1/69, only been 3 boundaries hit
