Yeah, so awesome for Afghanistan to make this. Can't wait to see them play.

AaronK · 01-05-2010, 07:23 AM

is that the Koyla them music? beautiful..

Could this be the first time more people are cheering on India's opponents than India in a cricket match?

Probably not. But can't be too far off.

NUFAN · 01-05-2010, 07:36 AM

YES! Just won a bet paying $4.50 for Afghanistan to score 3-4 runs in the first over.

Reckon it's a decent track and Afghanistan will be looking at a score of about 115.

Scaly piscine · 01-05-2010, 07:47 AM

Should have a betting thread, people could make a killing the way the odds change. They're so ridiculously volatile.

$4.50 for that bet seems very good value. The first over in any T20 tends to be low scoring. But maidens are still very rare. So 1-2 or 3-4 are pretty likely.

Cruxdude · 01-05-2010, 07:49 AM

I actually thought that was a replay of the first wicket.

Sir Alex · 01-05-2010, 07:52 AM

Yuvraj looks 5 months pregnant.

Getting fatter by the day.

I thought so too. Don't normally like betting on any individual over, but the first over for a weaker team against the big boys, I couldn't really see anything over 4 runs being scored.

It looks so refreshing to see a T20 match in such bright conditions.

GraemeSmith · 01-05-2010, 07:58 AM

The Indian team doesn't seem to bat deep at all.

AaronK · 01-05-2010, 08:02 AM

so far that i have seen.. they afghan batters suck lol.. can't even middle and find gaps..Karim sadiq was just disgrace..

BoyBrumby · 01-05-2010, 08:03 AM

Noor Ali gonna have to do it all himself by the look of things. Afghans not adjusting to the slowness of the track thus far.

Athlai · 01-05-2010, 08:11 AM

Noor Ali quicky becoming a bit of a hero imo.

Jayzamann · 01-05-2010, 08:27 AM

That Jadeja over was the first one in a while where more shots went to fielders than not. I was totally agreeing with Chappell about the proper cricket shots before Ali cranked out the reverse sweeps. Very impressive from Afghanistan so far, definitely.

AaronK · 01-05-2010, 08:30 AM

they can get to 130ish which is good enough in this pitch.. lets see it play out now..

Jono · 01-05-2010, 08:32 AM

This is competitive!

Edit: As I type that Ali out.
