    Aww, crap. :(

    Hooray! Man, Majid took ages there.

    Yeah, loving this.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    Haha, I was too dumb to get that first time.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    A real shame this. Was looking forward to a famous victory for the Afghans. Could still happen I suppose. One set batsman, not too many runs to get and plenty of overs.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    Mark Richardson: "Afghanistan's chances now rest on these two batsmen and the two still to come." So basically, Afghanistan's chances rest with... the players they have left. Who knew?

    C'mon AFG, you got this. EDIT: Balls.

    We can't tour Pakistan either.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    Hahahaha. I couldn't care less about profit. The fact is that there are limited resources for development, so why waste what there is on countries that have done nothing with it? I'm not arguing against associates, or associates being at the World Cup - I think 10 teams next time is idiotic. I...

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    Yeah, I get that there's history. I just don't think they have the player numbers, skills or local support to suggest they'll be anything other than quadrennial whipping boys in the future. At what point do you decide to stop throwing good money after bad?

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    I disagree about Scotland and the Netherlands, but yeah, it would be great to see what the others are capable of.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    I saw bits of it. I'm not denying that they are capable of good performances occasionally. In my opinion, overall, there's not a lot to recommend persisting with the likes of the UAE. They historically haven't performed, and from what I can see (I may be wrong about this) they have no...

    Yeah. They ran another associate close, and still lost.

    17th Match - Afghanistan v Scotland

    Great stuff this. I was hoping Afghanistan would dominate, because I think they have a future in international cricket. No disrespect to Scotland as a country, or their players, but I'm bored with them making up the numbers. Same goes for the UAE.

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    Good thing you're a decent bloke then ;) Can't wait until this game starts so that this thread can stop being about rugger.

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    Haha, maybe. It's a business weasel word, intended to sound impressive and obscure the fact that the user is bull****ting. It can easily be substituted for something far simpler and that makes actual sense. You could've left 'proposition' out of your sentence entirely. Other odious examples...

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    Give yourself an uppercut for that.

    14th Match - England v Scotland

    Exactly what I was thinking. Your previous post too.

    14th Match - England v Scotland

    Obviously I disagree. There's nothing dreadful about the Scottish bowling, and why should 400 be a target other than in the masturbatory fantasies of a couple of talking heads?
