Rumour is that we may play in the euro t20 as Ireland may pull out.
Why are Ireland pulling out ?
It wouldn't the fact Zimbabwe is not European be an issue ?
Great win by the boys, this is how a test playing nation should deal with an associate at home. Bowling them out for 111 and cantering home with ease, sadly this is more of a surprise than it should be .....
On the other hand maybe the boys aren't as bad as we thought during the first 3 games? Maybe they just need some cricket under their belts which they've gotten in the last 4 matches .....
This series is running the same course as the last time we played in Dubai .....
Does anyone know why Afghanistan has changed their side so much these last two matches ??
Dawlat, Zadran, Hamza and Noor Ali all missing are they injured ? Dropped ? Or have Afghanistan gotten too cocky and tried to blood some new guys for experience ?
To be fair with Moor, Ervine, Williams, Burl, Waller and Cremer are all in the starting eleven we will look more European than some of the European teams!

Afghans are a brash side like BD so totally likely they started experimenting too early. Dawlat is the only one of that bunch that has been well below his baseline level of performance. Id be highly surprised to see any more debutants in the decider.

I understand that the boys at ZC, after a particularly heavy beer session, filled in a kolpak application in the name of Mr ZC Cricket which was duly accepted, I believe the team will be based in the nice Wiltshire countryside, Salisbury to be precise

@taibu44 Scotland and Netherlands, srilanka, West Indies, Namibia, India A. We are really pushing for more games.
How many of them are away tours though?
Presumably SL will be, but playing Scotland, Netherlands and especially Namibia at home - what does that achieve?
India A - away would be handy. As would the West Indies.
