Cricket

afghanistan just can't keep a good thing going with the bat

Windies at 55-3 in the 14th over

Bangladesh smashed it v. Windies today.

When City stick 9 past Burton it's 'vulgar'; when Morgan hits 17 sixes off Afghanistan, it's a thing of majesty. Discuss.

In both instances it's gotta be done tbf

Tho run rate, etc

Afghanistan have a credible international spin-bowling attack, is the difference

Rashid went for 110 off 9 overs. Oof.

He finished on 3-66 after 10

I was meaning the Afghan spinner, Rashid Khan - got carted all over the place. He's been a brilliant bowler for the last couple of years but it's not happening at all this World Cup. I can only assume it's the conditions.

No patronise intended but Afghanistan have at least had a go every match

The Afghanistan cricket team is on a different level to Thailand's women's football team.

Our first thriller here

that was great, Williamson hitting that six to tie the scores and reach his hundred

that was a great moment as I kept thinking to myself that he's more like Root, a touch player, doesn't hit many sixes then BANG.

Turned into a game this

Turned into a Sri Lanka win this

England needed being taken down a peg or two tbh.

Took themselves down imo. Malinga was good tho.

Two NZ ducks in the first over vs. Windies. India labouring somewhat vs. Afghanistan.

surely this cannot happen

Needs a spectacular last over.

this useless keeper-batsman has lost it for them

Buggeration.

these classless fuckers in the crowd celebrating like they've won the whole thing

Hat trick!

who gives a shit about that tbh

Jesus, this Windies/NZ game is another cracker!

Ah, damn it.

Jesus fuck, everything's going wrong today.

Trying to win it with a six :(

It is our way.

Still coming to terms with Dave Warner, Mostly Sensible Opener.

oh god the pato entrance of doom

pommie blood in the water

I said "mostly."

I said "mostly lol england!!!!"

how are the Windies going to botch it from here

I mean, they are. thinking a Chahal 6-fer

Target of 269

250 feels about par for the wicket.

Or maybe less, when you bowl a powerplay this tight.

Afghanistan cruelly doing their best to help England here

Afghanistan in danger of blowing it here.

Pakistan likewise

6! balance shifts heavy to Pakistan now

need 6 from the last over, Afghanistan just going to fall short again

Blew it again.

cruel. great finish to a match.

It was. That expensive over when Imad racked up about 16 killed them off.

The match on Friday should be lit.

Pakistan : Why Dhoni is taking singles at this stage ?
