Morris has no room to glare at the departing batsman. The 2 balls prior to the wicket deserved boundaries.

Well-played, Afghanis...look forward to your development in the international game. Bring some muffins with you next time :twisted:

How did England's net run rate improve so much? It was -0.97 (inverse of West Indies' after their game) then they won a game chasing off the last ball but somehow their run rate is twice as good now? Doesn't make sense. I'm sure the maths is right but the model used can't be right.

I have lot of respect for Afghanistan. Young developing team with little facilities. They give everything everytime they play.

South Africa, well I have no hope that we will take the Worldcup.

Our bowlers are rubbish in these conditions, period.

Aaron should have been given a run today. In fact Piedt should be in the squad too. Steyn, Wiese and Abbott could have stayed at home.

Sri Lanka to drop this one, for me. I think we'll adapt to Nagpur better than WI (Gayle will struggle on that pitch) so it will come down to a shootout between us and Sri Lanka for top spot. Afghanistan ftw against WI :)

We should beat Sri Lanka. WI's going to be tough. But they tend to implode too, when under pressure. If Gayle doesn't come off they can capitulate quite easily.

We in the weaker pool fortunately for us so we should still squeak through to knock outs.

Works on the run-rate for and against.

SL pasting the fast bowlers and can't score off the spinners.

Our coaching team is already in the pub celebrating the win, never mind making notes.

The faster you bowl the further you travel. Slow and easy wins the race on the sub continent.
