[Daemon]

Yes this is a given.

Difference between this and Asia cup is I was getting enjoyment from him being #punished there

 

[ashley bach]

Lord Thakur has hijacked this thread.

 

[slippy888]

Thakur bowled decent today only going at 5 runs an over and taking a valuable wicket

 

[slippy888]

He is basically a copa America winner maybe this the reason Thakur still in the team

 

[ashley bach]

FFS somebody chuck slippy in the bin.

270-280 is certainly possible and gives them a remote chance.

I don’t think their bowling can withstand that Indian batting lineup.

Esp no way in this pitch

Neither do I but it's at least something to play with, if Rashid could weave some magic you just never know.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Decent from Afghanistan, this. Really wayward stuff from Siraj though.

 

[slowfinger]

what mindset have Afg gone in to this game? Are they basically thinking that they are gonna lose anyway so might as well try not to get battered and make a respectable 220-250 and try and make India take it deep or do they actually think 250 is enough?

Think they might have been looking for 300+ with their top order clicking but since they are gone now they are looking for 260-270

 

[chris.hinton]

Come on Afghanistan

 

[slowfinger]

Think they might have been looking for 300+ with their top order clicking but since they are gone now they are looking for 260-270

But dotting out close to 15 overs going at 3's and 4's is so 2000's

 

[slowfinger]

just don't feel it will be enough, giving jadeja so much respect and the wicket looks like it has no demons either
