2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 13 England v Afghanistan 15/10 1900hrs @ Arun Jaitley Stadium

[NYRB]

Heaven help England, if they lose Reece Topley now. He has been their best bowler today.

 

[Jamurp]

Wtf England, getting pumped early.

 

[Santana]

Looks like Reece Topley has done his knee.

This guy is always a risk. Injured all the time

 

[NYRB]

Reece Topley could go down the Jye Richardson path. Quality bowler but a matter of keeping fit and injury free.

 

[The Tilt]

Whoa! Just checked the score. Might have to tune in a bit later. England obviously a chance of a chasing even a big total, but an encouraging start.

 

[NYRB]

An Afghanistan win here , helps Australia in terms of qualifying for the semis long-term.

 

[NYRB]

Atherton says Englands backup pace bowlers are Atkinson and the more experienced Willey.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Adil strikes the old Striker

 

[Santana]

England fall further behind in the game

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan will surely look to attack Englands 6th bowling option here in : Root, Livingstone?

 

[NYRB]

Thats some neat glovework behind the stumps from the captain to get Afghanistans 2nd wicket.

 

[010203]

Do England really want to take a wicket like that?

 

[Santana]

Great work Afghanistan

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan are having a brain implosion here through basic cricket fundamentals.

Never a run there.

 

[NYRB]

Jos Buttler deserves a bit of credit for the 2nd and 3rd Afghanistan wickets. Great glovework .

 

[010203]

Shouldn't need the 3rd umpire for that, Gurbaz was a mile out. An easy decision for Pistol. Afghanistan have burned what was an excellent start.

 

[NYRB]

Two new batters at the crease and one imagines these guys have to look to rebuild for the next 7-8 overs.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

wtf are they doing this heading to a pakistan implode

 

[SSwans2011]

Geez Afghanistan have completely ****ed this. What was Shahidi thinking?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Well, that's the only way Gurbaz was ever getting out.

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan were odds-on to get 300+ and now that seems a long, long way off.

 

[Fabab]

Poor cricket when they were looking good.

 

[NYRB]

That looked plum from Livingstone didnt it?

 

[NYRB]

Umpire was right, it had it going over the stumps on DRS. Factored bounce in the wicket.

 

[NYRB]

The Afghans have decided to target Woakes today. From ball one.
