Ben Curran looks imperious when he plays that short arm jab.
That's all he's got, that's why they call him Rex ...
as in T. Rex
He does well to keep the pull shot down, don't think he pulled in the air once. Has issues driving against the off spinner though.

Spinners haven't look too threatening. Williams and Kaitano complementing each other nicely. Could be a big one

Terrible choice of shot. They were starting to sound really flat in the field.

Myers hands are far too hard early in his innings.

Kaitano played OK there. I'd have dinked it around for a 50 before I played that, I think he was wanting to get to the milestone with a boundary. He was starting to improve his strike rate nicely. Dunno what he injury he had?

Zahir is the danger man now

Should have pushed it around to 50 there. Overall he did his job. They were starting to sound tired. The top order scored 123 collectively which is good by our standards.

These Afghan bowling changes and captaincy has been woeful.

Myers needs to watch Zahir from the other end, he'll struggle against this guy.
