[Match Thread] 4th ODI: Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[TapsC]

Wow we are doomed.. and we have 3 pace bowlers on a spinning track

[zimbot]

Another day another shitty performance

[PSR]

Giving wickets to an average bowler like Mujeeb at the start of the innings is criminal...Seriously

[Jemisi]

oh it hurts

[Jemisi]

hope we are working on plans to beat the windies because the afghans are looking world cup bound

[CrimsonAvenger]

Oh yes! Ervine's back in form! But everybody else is off...

[grant]

The Afghan Captain - the pain in our ass, is not using mujeeb right. Poor guy always opens the bowling to do the hard job.

Seems to be doing a good job opening

When you play 4 spinners you need to open with a spinner

We should play with two proper fast bowlers. We are becoming another Bangladesh..

Are there any Afghan fast bowlers other than Dawlat, Shapoor and Hamid who are genuinely quick? Hamid is injured I guess and Shapoor Zadran hasn't been in good form of late. Izatullah Dawlatzai was quick as well but totally disappeared off the scene a few years ago.

He played Rashid better than anyone else

[ZIMDOGGY]

Can someone tell me what the deal with these Afghanis are In relation to cricket ?

Are they Pakistani’s living in the Ghan?
Afghanis in Pakistan ?
Minority of some sort?
Or is cricket now legit mainstream ??
I ask because a lot of the team look Pakistani. Afghans generally have a lighter look to them with a squarer face and often green eyes

Izatullah Dawlatzai gave up cricket.

There are no genuine fast bowlers as far as I know, but some good prospects. They need to encourage and produce more fast bowlers.

There has been quite a few guys like Fareed Malik, Naveen Ul Haq, Ibrahim Sharifi, Sayed Sherzad, Wafadar Momand etc. but none really given a chance.
