Dharamsala one of the more scenic grounds in India.

I'd say the world.

Athers talking about the Simon Jones knee injury at the Gabba in 2002 when his foot plugged in the sandy outfield diving to stop the ball.

You would hate to see something like that happen here.

Common sense says you don't dive, risk injury today.

India is on my bucket list in 2024. Looks an amazing country.

 

[NYRB]

The Bangladesh players don't be too keen to dive on this ground- and fair enough, given the nature of the ground surface.

 

[Greendogg5]

Shakib doing it again for Bangladesh

 

[NYRB]

Shakib got a Michelle Pfeiffer against Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup.

 

[NYRB]

100 up for Afghanistan in 21.2 overs

 

[NYRB]

Rahim with his chirping from the Matthew Wade school.

 

[NYRB]

Pressure was getting to Hashmat and he has to depart for 18 off 37 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Its the spinners who have applied the squeeze here for the Bangladesh team.

 

[NYRB]

A wicket maiden from Miraz.

 

[Plugger35]

The spinners doing all the damage so far for Bangladesh, I can see the Afghan spinners playing a big role when they get a chance to bowl.

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan in all sorts now at 112/4


They have to worry about batting their full 50 overs here.

I get home after buying some beer and i hear Haydos. Dharamshala is a lovely little venue for cricket.

 

[NYRB]

Make no mistake Bangladesh are up for this game today, their body language looks real good. Fielding has been on point.

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan have a bit of a long tail, Mujeeb is batting at 9 today.

 

[NYRB]

Nabi and Najib probably need to be there around the 38th-40th over , so probably need to consolidate here as much as possible.

 

[NYRB]

Shakib loves playing Afghanistan, now has 8 wickets in his 2 World Cups against them and possibly still counting...........

 

[Plugger35]

Shakib knocks over another one, he is having a day out.

The Afghans are going to struggle to post a competitive total now.

 

[NYRB]

Omarzai new batter at 7 for Afghanistan.

I mean Rashid Khan is no mug with the bat at 8 but you wouldnt want him to bat 20+ overs at this stage.

 

[NYRB]

Runs have stalled after the 15 over period for Afghanistan.

From Over 16 to Over 30, only 43 runs have been scored.

 

[NYRB]

You wont win too many games in ODI games if you have a phase in the game where you score 43 runs off 15 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Bangladesh are going for the kill here, they want this 8th wicket.

 

[NYRB]

Gotta admit Shakibs captaincy has been outstanding today.

 

[NYRB]

Afghanistan are 150/7 and now we are into this long tail. Ample overs left.
