I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
Ugh. Come on, Afghanistan. Windies being themselves is bad enough, I don't need you to poo poo it up too. :(

On a happier note, my Afghanistan replica jersey showed up today. Looks real good. Wearing it to work on Monday.

They've used Dan in quite an unorthodox way this tournament. Especially for a spinner who everyone thought was on his way out.

Interesting that Southee completely ruined England and yet can't dismiss a single Afghan, makes you think.

Didn't immediately change helmet, makes me wonder if that was his only one.

This is such a great idea. Playing pak in uae, then warmup against uae or Afghanistan. England? Play Scotland and Ireland etc

They seem very happy to throw everything at the opposing batsmen early on and leave the last ten or twenty overs to whoever.

I think because it worked against England and aus. It's risky, but it really has come off I'm this match too. Not as well as it could have but still.

This is a good idea. I'm also a fan of the idea of A teams from Aus, SA, India etc playing a series against the associates

39 off 90 isn't a classic ODI innings, but I can respect it.
