Series Thread: Zim A vs Afg A

[auszim]

Im really impressed by the coverage that Afghanistan Cricket Board are providing for this tour to date. They are giving their fans an insight and direct access. Sure the stream and camera isnt tv quality, but they are engaging with the public, and thats much more than ZC who have had a couple of twitter updates. Kind of sums up the difference.

Nice catch in the covers by Musakanda as Madziwa picks up a wicket.

Interesting to see that Murray is keeping over PJ, really is a big chance to get him embedded in the system at an early age.

AfghanKhan...are there any players who have played for Afghanistan who are not Pathan (Pashtun)?

I am a Bangladeshi with Pashtun ancestry 8 generations back fromy my mothers side. Are you Pashtun as well? If so, we may be 6th cousins, lol.

[zimfan1]

The chap Shahidullah is apparently 17, the biggest 17 year old i have ever seen, oh and Rashid Khan is supposed to be 18. Always some questionable practices going to with Afghanistan Under 19 sides, no wonder we never beat them.

Yes, but they have not been successful or played many games.
Yes I am pashtun as well.

You can easily add 5 years to both their ages.

That's why I don't take Afghan u.19 seriously.

Starting to rain.

Mumba bowling quickly and testing the Afghans with the short ball. Waller and Madziwa eased all the pressure with a couple of no balls and free hits which were punished. These Afghan boys look like serious players. I will be very surprised if we win this.

[zimfan1]

Waller comes back and takes a wicket, looks to be in a nice rhythm i would get him in the squad ASAP. Wellington then skids one on for an LBW.

Looks like the boys are pulling it back, who's looked the best of the bowlers Zimfan1 ??
