3rd Match - Afghanistan v South Africa

[Srinath P]

I think Klaasen will make the next WC.

 

[Molehill]

3 misfields in the last 6 balls, Afghan fielding has fallen apart.

Fielding in the last 10 mins or so has been quite poor tstl

Edit: beaten by Molehill

It's quite an old batting lineup with Temba, RvD and Miller all into their mid 30s. It isn't a bad lineup but you might think they would want to integrate one or two younger players post this tournament in ODI cricket ahead of the next world cup.

Last ODI WC final India had 2 35 year olds and aus 3 in their batting lineup.
Think most of this lineup will finish up with 2027 especially with it being a home WC.

50 for temba. Nicely played.

 

[sayon basak]

Trash bowling.

 

[StephenZA]

Why is Klaasen not playing? Injured?

Yes, not quite right apparently but should be for next week.

That was a weird review, looked like it hit the bat but nothing came up on ultra edge. Also seemed to turn a lot more on ball tracking than what appeared on normal view.

Trash bowling.

Noor bowled a really good first over and I was wondering why they'd left it so long to bring him on, but that was a hideous over.

Apparently has an elbow issue

 

[ashley bach]

Well played RR

 

[Stefan9]

Well done Ryan. Great knock.

Time to put the foot on the accelerator. Should be an entertaining last 10 overs with 7 in hand.

The fielding has been dreadful, lost count of the number of misfields, it could totally fall apart here.
