The Afghans, my "new" team are doing OK again.

 

Afghanistan going great here. Massive favourites at this stage.

 

Just got to resist the temptation to slog their way home. Theg should get there.

 

Didn't even need the destroyer that is Rashid Khan to sink Pakistan, on this fabulous night for my team

 

Fantastic by Afghanistan there. Controlled when it would have been easy to get carried away.

They really are a great story.

 

Bangladesh v South Africa tomorrow…

 

Durhams Brydon Carse called up to replace Topley.

 

If I were Carse I would have switched my phone off

 

Australia v Netherlands tomorrow…

 

Unbelievable batting by Maxwell 106 from 43 balls

 

40 ball hundred. Unbelievable.

 

Another great start lol

 

Not too good but Nasser is enjoying it as usual

 

Oh feck.

 

3 down 71 on the board 14 overs in its a case of survival here atm

 

****, I forgot it was on, maybe just as well, will have a look

 

Christ we are ****e. I mean not just a good team playing badly, proper ****e - have been since Morgan retired - he was the Fergie of this team

 

Be lucky to get 150 here.

 

England maybe need to go back to 2000s ODI cricket here.

Tip and run for 4 singles an over for the next 25. Get to 200 with 10 overs to go and then smash it

Enough gaps in the field to do that and put the bad ball away when it comes

 

And they keep picking the same players! I love Woody and way he'd him since he was 19, but he has bowld like a flying pig in this tournament. Gus Atkinson must wonder why he is out there.

Another wallowing on the cards here, unless Stokes or Livingston get a big score.

They look like they'd rather be somewhere else.
