Afghanistan should be shitting this in but you never know with these unknown associates.

Having watched both the Windies v PNG and then the Namibia v Oman; I think some of the bigger nations are not used to playing these smaller nations and are still a bit of an unknown to them. Also, the lack of pace in some of the PNG and Oman bowlers would have been a surprise.
One of the things that these smaller countries have going for them, is that they are still an unknown and there is limited footage of their games

You'd think Ugandan cricket would have thrived a bit earlier if Amin hadn't expelled all the Indians in the early 70s.

Rough first over

All the ****ed stuff aside, it's nice to see Afghanistan make another team look like a minnow.

Ugandans will be clueless against Rashid.

Why don't you just make a thread for the whole Group stage of the tournament lol

Eh, its the winter season without any Aussie tests, not like the forum is overwhelmed with posts. I appreciate the seperated posts so you can easily go and have a look if you're watching on replay (which most people probably are) rather than trying to find which page of a thread is to do with afghanistan and uganda

Afghanistan look like they will make it past 200 comfortably, going at around 10 runs per over with 10 wickets still left in the shed.

Going at 10 an over without any sense of danger - surely they just pull the trigger now and have at least 1 batter go ham.

Fair enough all good, some of the games won't have alot of attraction that's all I was thinking. Some of the completed ones have 20 posts.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Afghanistan will one of the better sides in the world 10-20 years time, impressed every time I see them play.

 

[Plugger35]

Uganda fighting back to dismiss both Afghan openers, they should still make it past 200 though.

You just hope it doesn't fall apart like a Zimbabwe situation

Good fightback from Uganda - 4/15, should be able to keep this below 200.

I have the BBC commentary on and they pointed out that there were two Ugandans in the East Africa side that played in the 1975 World Cup.

Yeah great work coming back, but the damage was already done and every wicket was off the batsman slogging

Derek Pringle's dad was in that team too.

 

[Plugger35]

Uganda did well to restrict the score to 183 when it looked like being over 200 but that will probably still be too much for them.

 

[Plugger35]

Very nearly a hat trick for Fazal in the first over.

Come back from getting lunch in the innings break

I made a bacon sandwich with HP sauce and didn't miss a thing.

These 2 (Riazat and Nakrani) are arguably Uganda's 2 best bats but there's very little after them.
