Ok I hear what you're saying, I worded that poorly. I was meaning they have to factor in a run rate to decide how many overs to give us. Pointless giving us 20 overs. Pointless setting too low a target that we can easily achieve and bat it out. 150 is the magic number where they could get us out and have enuf time to do it. Maybe even 130?

We're wading thru them now. 130 is the likely number.
Yep

Well we can only lose, so best thing is to keep them batting. Get 9 down and bowl leg side?

Bennett with a fifer. The cheapest wickets he'll ever get, but damn!

Century + five wickets on your debut is definitely a great stat to have, 10 years later nobody's gonna look at it and say well Afghanistan were messing about
