That has to be a FC Record right?

Not been updated recently it seems. Yusuf Pathan helped his domestic side chase down 540 odd in a FC tournament last month. Could be 9th.Providing Afghanistan score the 494 runs they require for victory, it'll be the eighth highest first class chase in history.

Fixed.Not been updated recently it seems. Poor fielding helped Yusuf Pathan and his domestic side chase down 540 odd in a FC tournament last month. Could be 9th.
They've got India and South Africa in their group, so they've hardly drawn an easy pool.Whose Group are they in for the World T20's
Quite remarkable - Pathan's unbeaten fourth innings double century at better than a run-a-ball must've been an unbelievable display of hitting. Also interesting to note how many massive fourth innings run chases theres been lately, the Indian domestic match above, the Central Districts chase of 445 against Wellington in December, and today's effort all within the last three months. Plus Somerset () chased 479 to win against Yorkshire in the 2009 county season.Fixed.
Here's the scorecard for anyone that's not seen it: Final: South Zone v West Zone at Hyderabad (Deccan), Feb 2-6, 2010 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com Serious runs scored in that game. 2 centuries for Pathan and Karthik, plus a century for Pathak too. Impressive run chase right there though, to chase 540 in the 4th innings is just incredible.
Would be fascinating to see what happened if they played a First Class match against Bangladesh - would give us a much better idea of where they are
I am telling you guys.. watch out for this afghan team here.. they have got some serious talents in their team..
I am marking for them during the 20/20 world cup..
I just looked at this years 20/20 world cup groups.. they are set to play against India and South Africa.. common.. not fair.. against #1 and #2 teams of cricket.. how is this fair lol
I would say Bangladesh would probably thrash them, and therefore in the same problem as before. They would beat all the teams at ICC Intercontinental level, but not good enough for Tests. Same with Zimbabwe for mine.Would be fascinating to see what happened if they played a First Class match against Bangladesh - would give us a much better idea of where they are
And, apparently, there was also an even more unbelievable display of catch-dropping - that too seems contagious. (Dropped catches or not, still something to rack up such a knock - kudos YKP).Quite remarkable - Pathan's unbeaten fourth innings double century at better than a run-a-ball must've been an unbelievable display of hitting.

Arrange plaenty of tours against A sides of better test playing nations. If they can come to a level that can thrash SL A or ENG A the they'll be competitive. If they can thrash AUS A or IND A, they'll beat few test nations as well.I would say Bangladesh would probably thrash them, and therefore in the same problem as before.

So there is no point sending them down to that level as it would be too easy for them, but the trick is too bring them up to the Test playing level. How you do that, I don't know.
I'd rather they did an early/late season tour of Aus and played each state side.Arrange plaenty of tours against A sides of better test playing nations.
