**Official** Group A Discussion - England, India, Afghanistan

[Migara]

Played twice so far; with an Afghan win in Sri Lanka & Ireland having the better of a rain affected draw in Dublin this July.

Obvz yer Afghans have the advantage of not having their best players nicked by their big brother tho.

Lol:

I'd say Afghans never have that home advantage in return. But these guys are a very intruiging mix. Some like Shazad and Nawroz Mangal looks Indian subcontinetal. Shapoor and Nabi looks like Pathans. Samiullah Shenwari, Dawlat zadrab and Mohammed Nabi looks more like Caucasian. But who ever all thee boys are built like tanks.

Hello peeps new to the forum.

What is your predication on the outcome of England v Afghanistan?

Like your forum, nice contributors with some lively expertise.

Welcome tbf.

I think England should win, but if the Zadran boys nick a couple of early poles you never know.

No Briggs or Bres for England but Samit plays. Interesting.

England will win hands down. We all, with the possible exception a handful of English cricket fans, hope for something different, but that hope is just what it is......

My boi Wright.

Oooh.

 

[the_big_fan]

was that a missed catch?

 

[_Ed_]

was that a missed catch?

Probably not quite - it was high above him. Definitely a false stroke, though.

Wow, almost a run out there too.

 

[benchmark00]

Should have hit there. No excuses.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Proper bowlers, these boys.

 

[grecian]

Well this is a spiffing start.

 

[BeeGee]

Terrible start from England. Lucky not to be two down.

The Zadrans are bowling well.

 

[simsini]

Lightning start here, good job we picked our best batsmen.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hales doing the Mick Vaughan "nice looking shot straight at short extra cover" thang.
