Miserable day for our former colonial masters. Good day for one of their former mastered. Interesting test in the making.

England should play Ireland, more at their level.

Good to see Pakistan cricket hasn't gone to shyte like Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zim.

And they've had more restrictions.

Bangladesh 134/8
Afghanistan 135/4 (18.5/20 ov, target 135)

Afghanistan won by 6 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)

That, ladies and gentlemen, is Afghanistan's first bilateral T20I series win over a side other than Zimbabwe, and don't they deserve it? Bangladesh ended up with at least 20 short, but did well to restrict run-flow and mount pressure going into the last six overs, but the experience of Mohammad Nabi has helped Afghanistan prevail. They take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Can't imagine what the scenes would be like in Kabul, Kandahar, Nangarhar and elsewhere.

Was really hoping to find the game on SS. Not to be. Still, big kudos to the Afghans.

Saw the score pop up on my Cricinfo app earlier. That's probably the highest of any odi (men included)?

I had to look this up to believe what mine eyes did just see... wow!

New Zealand women beat their own record of the highest score by a team in ODIs, surpassing 455 for 5 they had scored in 1997 against Pakistan on home soil. On Friday in Dublin, the tone of their innings was set by captain Suzie Bates' 151 and Maddy Green's 121 as the team broke a whole lot of other records against Ireland. ESPNcricinfo spoke to Bates and Green about how they went about it and what the record means to them.
