That's an incredibly long runup for a medium pace plodder.

Umpires only initiate reviews for run outs, stumpings, no balls and whether catches carried.

Please tell me this is a parody of those lame cricinfo comments any time a limited overs runrate is low/test run rate is high?

I quite like the pace of the world cup so far. Really liking there being a game each day, which gives me the opportunity to catch pretty much every match. If the tournament was more condensed, then what, we'd have more time in the schedule for IPL, an extra Ashes series each year, and maybe even a nine test match series between Australia and India? :confuoot:

Afghanistan bowling has been very solid so far, but fielding has had a couple hiccups. Bangladesh has been very boring with their batting outside of a few excellent shots. They've been letting Afghanistan's tight fielding choke them out on dot balls.

edit: And Shenwari gets done for landing in the danger area. Lovely. Wasn't one of the Pakistanis given two warnings? He clearly only got one.

No I think it's a one warning then you're finished. I've never actually seen that happen as far as i remember.

Why the gently caress haven't they reviewed either of those close ones? They would have had a drat good chance at both. I'm guessing probably just inexperience.

edit: Had a look and it is two warnings then removal on 3rd infraction. Might have missed one of Davies' warnings (though the commentators only noted the one) but if not, Shenwari got screwed.

Someone should tell Hayden to move the mic away from his face. Preferably to take it off and leave the commentary box.

If only he'd just use the mic wires to hang himself, it'd be so much better.

Why did Haque come in at 9? He's in my team as a batsman.

Think there are two. The other made no runs so you are set either way.

There's Anamul (that opens) that made 29 off 55 and Mominul that got 3 off 3.

Yeah it's odd, Mominul usually comes in at 3.

Yeah I picked Mominul. Admittedly the only player I'd ever heard of was Al Hasan so it's a good think he's my pp.

Bowled out on the last ball. Well done on that, at least, Afghanistan. Now the question is whether I can manage to stay awake for the rest of the match.
