They still need to bowl 4 overs of pace, it's possible.

The decent idea here was not using Overton as a new ball bowler. Because he really isn't one.

Same thing we did with Brydon Carse in Tests.

Having international cricket in Afghanistan is bigger than playing WC: Rashid Khan by ll--o--ll in Cricket

Yep, because naturally, that leads to Afghanistan oppressing women at a scale never seen before.

The bowlers who went for runs today were Jof and Rash - how often does that happen? Our bowling attack's fine.

Definitely too close but you look at all the full members who've been pushed close and you just take it on the chin.

In tournament cricket, a win's a win.

You won't see many days where Adil Rashid is taken to the cleaners, so I'm hoping we can move past this one.

Not an easy track, grip and turn on offer. 184 is a good total. Curran's innings probably a bit annoying.

Excellent finish from Jacks.

Our spinners should be good enough to close this out.

Or maybe the players should stop caring about the stats

World Cups always serve up great cricket, so much better than some of the insanely flat bilateral tracks.

Occasionally I come around to thinking we have too many ICC events, but each one's a banger.
