[Match Thread] Afghanistan v Zimbabwe: 2nd ODI

[eugene]

Not sure I quite rank Afghanistan as highly as Tikolo, Odumbe, Otieno, etc.

Afghanistan's bowling is far superior to the Kenyans who just had trundlers like Thomas Odoyo. Same story with Ireland, although the Irish now have some giddy up with Rankin's return and Craig Young. Afghanistan's batting is poor. They have come a lomg ways...5 years ago they were getting bowled out for 120 against teams like Bermuda and Norway. Now they are scoring 250 against Zim. But they have had batting collapses in 7 consecutive games against Zimbabwe's pedestrian bowling attack. They have won purely on their bowling strength.

Normally batting is Associates strength, interesting that for Afghanistan it is the bowling.

I think Bangladesh was that way too. or we just sucked equally at both, lol.
