both openers struggling. not looking good for India in this tournament.

Oh, shot from Yuvi. Caressed it over the boundary.

This pitch doesn't suit India tbf. Plenty of pace and bounce in it.

BoyBrumby · 19-09-2012, 08:31 AM

Yeah, that was gorgeous too. Could watch that all day.

The boy is in good nick, no doubt about it.

Cricinfo has all of the bowling at low 80s btw - guess they're getting it from Hawkeye or the like.

Don't know why measuring the speed of the ball accurately is so difficult.

Was K**li seriously mentioning it to the umpires that an Afghanistani feigned some fielding?

Not sure what the asterisks refer to there.

Wow Asad is the umpire! I thought his wife would have locked him in after his past escapades.

Scaly piscine · 19-09-2012, 08:43 AM

The stars just refer to him being an arse.

BoyBrumby · 19-09-2012, 08:43 AM

Support bowlers don't quite match up to the openers, it seems.

Scaly piscine · 19-09-2012, 08:47 AM

Grrr would have been a big wicket that. Feels like Afghanistan need more wickets otherwise I could see these two batsmen teeing off sooner rather than later.

NasserFan207 · 19-09-2012, 08:49 AM

'Asad Rauf, its the look that does it',

Uh, lol?

Scaly piscine · 19-09-2012, 08:52 AM

Hmm Afghanistan still long odds with the bookies. I guess Pathan is a bit of a minnow basher - makes a difference if he's taking 3-25 or some such instead of 1-50.
