Thought Afghanistan 6 and 7 last game bat pretty well.

 

[Cleavy]

England bowling 1st.

Foakes would have stopped that shocker from Woakes going for 5 wides.

 

[010203]

It would be nice to get a close game but I don't think we will see one here.

Expect England to win this comfortably.

Australia vs Pakistan on Friday is our most realistic hope for a close game anytime soon.

 

[akkaps]

Good to see the Afghans go on the offensive a little

 

[010203]

Woakes has been expensive.

A BBL side needs to sign Gurbaz

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Gurbaz has gone berserk.

Brilliant shots.

 

[NYRB]

Sam Curran clearly didnt like the cameraman so close to him on the boundary rope there.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Rough start for England.

Could be real trouble if they don’t get Gurbaz soon. Seems in the mood today

 

[SSwans2011]

That sweep was a thing of beauty. Great 50.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Now he sends Wood over the rope….

 

[NYRB]

A 58 metre Six from Gurbaz. Yes or No, 58 metre Six hits are a joke?

A 58 metre Six from Gurbaz. Yes or No, 58 metre Six hits are a joke?

Yes

 

[MarcMaverick]

Gurbaz is on a mission today.

 

[NYRB]

Half hits are clearing the boundary easily here.

 

[Santana]

New Zealand's win in the opening game not looking as good as it did last week

 

[Moonwatcher]

You all knew

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan are playing like a side today that wants to knock off 1 of the big dogs.

Afghanistan are playing like a side today that wants to knock off 1 of the big dogs.

Maybe we can learn a thing or two

 

[NYRB]

Looks like Reece Topley has done his knee.

A BBL side needs to sign Gurbaz

He will earn a lot playing in other parts of the world. Already been signed to play in the Abu Dhabi T10 in early December, and will play in the ILT20 in January/Feb
