Remember when Scotland was knocking it out of the park, surprising the world with their World Cup play? Yeah that was short lived. Afghanistan just got taken over by the Taliban and still managed to take the piss out of Scotland. Afghanistan batted first and they reached an impressive total of 190/4. 59 to Zadran, and both Zazai and Gurbaz were in the 40s. But then Scoland had a chance at the bat and they didn't want to restrict it to 3 or 4 guys, they wanted everyone to have a chance. Those Scots just like to share. Problem was they shared a little to freely and went all out in the 11 over 130 runs short! Yep, they were short by a total most teams hope to total. 5 wicket haul to Ur Rahman and 4 for Khan. So, well done in the cricket Afghanistan, now if you could just sort that Taliban problem out.
Tomorrow we get a chance to see what the Kiwis have been up to, they take on Pakistan. And South Africa will be hoping to knock the wind out of the Windies. Im hoping to put another little dent in Anna's lead over me. What are your goals?
My goal is to pick some players who can bat and bowl. Not having much success so far. But keep trying. Some very good cricket in the matches we have watched. Anyone know where we can look up their order of batting? You're not going to tell me are you.
ReplyDeleteCricInfo has the predicted order - but not guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna.
