24th Match - England v Afghanistan

[trundler]

England really do play fearless cricket

 

[Cabinet96]

Cricinfo making me realise that's the first time anyone has hit a century worth of sixes in an international match.

 

[h_hurricane]

That's the record isn't it? 17 sixes in a WC innings.

All ODI innings in fact. Some one has finally hit 100 plus runs in an innings in sixes. Ridiculously good.

 

[harsh.ag]

102 runs off sixes in 148 ~69%

 

[Malcolm]

My word, what an innings that was!

 

[King Pietersen]

What a knock. Eoin

 

[trundler]

Well that's a let down

 

[trundler]

Still 200 more than Afghanistan can chase

 

[mr_mister]

I hope Hazratullah actually comes off today. Feel like he does have a 50 ball ton in him

 

[harsh.ag]

Rashid Khan going for 100+

 

[Athlai]

Rashid Khan is a special bowler and has had an off day, but hell he hasn't bowled that poorly today. Morgan just went ballistic.

 

[trundler]

Rashid is being muscled for sixes. Can't do anything to stop it. Only England could've done this.

 

[King Pietersen]

Most expensive WC bowling figures of all-time for Rashid Khan. Ouch.

 

[trundler]

Dawlat has impressed

 

[harsh.ag]

Most expensive figures in WC history. 0-110 (9).

Stokes couldn't find his fluency at all today.

England should open with Moeen until Roy returns. Better than Vince imo.

 

[h_hurricane]

So Rashid Khan escapes being the most run-conceded bowler in an innings in ODI history only because he did not complete his quota.

 

[PikeyB]

I dislike Eoin Morgan as a captain but he is a very decent ODI batsman . I admire that grip of his, generates an unlikely amount of power out of his moderate frame .

 

[King Pietersen]

Rashid Khan had never conceded more than 2 sixes in an ODi innings. He conceded 11 today.

 

[trundler]

Incredible shot

 

[harsh.ag]

400 is on!
