From ESPN cricinfo comments;

Kiran: "Life is so unfair. There is no body who deservs a 100 more than Shenwari. Anyway, I hope he retains the tape of the game so that his grand kids know the legend of their grandfather. "

 

[Arzy]

Afghans take it

 

[Drifter]

Shocker Afg win with 1 wicket.

 

[Electric]

Well Played Afghanistan.

 

[AirWolf]

Great match. Shenwari just falling short, but making an impact on the game.

We call the teams outside the top 8, the minnows, but they are the ones with the biggest hearts and fighting spirits and never say die attitudes.

The tournament will not be the same with fewer teams .

Those tailenders deserve a heap of praise as well. The 3 of them stuck around to face 74-balls.

 

[Park@82]

hahahaha @ Scotland

Terrible idea and a smack in the face of teams like Ireland and Afghanistan.

 

[Arzy]

Yep, the smaller teams are putting on a much better show so far in the tournament.

Based on our discussion from yesterday on the day/night games I feel sorry for Bangladesh at the moment.

I should do well to stay clear of games involving PAK and PAKlite(Afghanistan). The former did it against WI, and the latter have somehow pulled it off against one of the best seam attacks of the tournament.

I was so certain Scotland would take this. #Gutted!

So I make a wrong pick yet go up one place in the table?

In my view the best opening seam attack belongs to Zimbabwe: Panyangara+Chatara. Absolutely unplayable in the first 10 overs (horrible at the death )

As a unit, I tink the Scots ar ethe best. I've been impressed by them.

Strangely enough I thought Afghanistan (i.e. PAK rejects in disguise) would be the ones to shootout most teams because they have some pacy bowlers with a decent amount of control.

I agree 100%

Well done to both Scotland & Afghanistan.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Hehe, Bangladesh got a hiding. Hope they can put on some sort of fight with the bat.

Proteas' games to be played:

West Indies
Ireland
Pakistan
U.A.E.

How many will they win?

If they beat the west indies they will go on and win all 4. Just need to get some momentum going.

Great game scots vs afghanistan was great fun. That's what the world cup is about, too bad the cartel doesn't see it that way...
