Dejected Bangla fans with pained faces (whiskers and stripes) and plush tiger toys in stands is one of the great sights in cricket.

I understand this, but I'm also kinda glad that they do get to play. It's not like the players themselves are the Taliban, and this is their livelihood. It's cruel enough to lose your country, imagine losing your career on top of that.

Idk if Afghanistan can continue to be a Full Member or play in future ICC events, but letting them play here is a good decision if you keep the players and coaches welfare in mind. They've been working towards this since before the Taliban took over, and even if this is a last hurrah, they can use this platform to perform and maybe get a franchise/domestic contracts overseas somewhere.
Afghanistan didn't have a women's team when they first started playing ICC events either. It's a requirement to be a full member and play Tests - which I suspect they might not be able to for a while - but you're allowed to play limited overs tournaments without that.

NZ going to need India's chokeage against NZ in major tournaments to continue to get out of this group - I think our team is patchy but it's T20 so it's possible. Don't want to be the team with two losses from the mini NZ/Pak/India tournament opening this group.

Speaking of chokeage and how this is somehow the Bangladesh/Sri Lanka thread, wtf was that fielding Bangladesh.

Noumenon being made to look like a tit is a mildly amusing thing, in this moment. Otherwise it's not that important.
A bongo fan with a lip and presumably a plush tiger toy by your side? Do you rage post on this forum with the face painted on, Oritro?
