*Official* Afghanistan vs West Indies 2019

I cant imagine a Afghan team without Rashid but on his current form they cant continue to pick him

Hope moves on to 98. His ODI numbers are phenomenal for a West Indies player.

I cant imagine a Afghan team without Rashid nut on his current form they cant continue to pick him

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rashid comes back into the attack

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There's the 100 for Shai Hope. 7th ODI century. Same number as Carl Llewellyn Hooper.

 

[slippy888]

Afghans spinners bowled poorly

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So 18 to get from 24 balls. Hope they chase it down comfortably.

 

[slippy888]

Canada are playing some good cricket in the other game

 

[trundler]

It's great that Hope is getting runs but he needs to get that strike rate UP

 

[slippy888]

Hope must be up there with Kholi and Rohit Sharma as one of the best one day batsman currently

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

4 off the last ball of Mujeeb's spell. 11 to get from 18 balls.

ahhh nahhh, let's not put the cart in front of the donkey.

Maybe time for Afghanistan to bring back Mohammad Shazad he did inspire team to play better cricket it all gone down hill since they disown him.

He's a waste man...Zazai was an upgrade...he is a lesser wasteman.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

And that's the winning run. A whitewash. Let's hope that this result will spark interest in our cricket. Not to be a one-off, but something that is more consistent. We need this in Windies cricket.

 

[trundler]

Not to be dismissive but Rashid has had a tough intro to the big boy leagues. I remember someone put him in an AT one day XI. Nothing like a 14 average bowler but still, he's had his moments and there's lots of potential.

Will always remember Nabi's 3 wicket over versus SL though. Getting outshone by Roston Chase must still suck.

 

[Beamer]

3rd game in a row we have won playing decent, hard working ODI cricket. It makes such a nice change.

I think for our next ODI match King should play ahead of Hety, he looked great at the crease.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yeah, Hety's stocks have dropped significantly. While a guy like Chase, whose game is more suited for the longer format, has played this series like he wanted a spot. He's getting picked on merit. Brandon King looks the package deal. Middle order needs strengthening. We have firepower in the lower-order.

 

[vcs]

Hope has a really good average. He can definitely improve his SR and learn to accelerate through the innings with some more experience.

With lots of other talented but inconsistent stroke makers in the team, he's definitely a solid asset. Brings keeping as well.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm kind of excited about King. He hasn't got any real hype other than maybe on whatever the WI equivalent of PakPassion is called but he's coming off a really good 4-day season on top of dominating the CPL T20, and he looked great today. He was never the chosen one - I think he was left until Round 8 or something of the CPL T20 draft - but it seems like something must've just clicked with his batting. I hope he gets a run in Tests soon too.
