2 for Sir Graeme Cremer

Things looking better after the Cremer double strike

And Cremer gets another one. It seems making him captain was the best move as he is surely leading from the front.

Sir Graeme looking a league above associate level. Has he changed his run up a bit? It looks more wide-on than usual.

Timely wicket.

The commercial breaks on Afghan TV are a bit of a change from the usual sub-continental staple: I have no idea what the cartoon with the Kaaba was about but before that I think there was an ad for giving up your machine guns to the authorities.

All of their ads seem to show machine guns or tanks or someone loading a missile into something. Definitely a screwed up country.

I have to polish up my Pashto. Did they just call England "Englandstan" (in the last ad)?

Remember the good old days when we used get bombarded with Vi-John Shaving Foam and Fogg Body Spray ads. At least they made sense

Yes, I think it was Fogg Body Spray in my dream last night.

Apparently it's "Englistan": http://thepashto.com/word.php?english=England

There aren't a lot of tongue twisters for the Afghan commentators to get through in the Zim line-up, as long as we don't select Schadendorf. A cousin of mine watched the last football WC in Afghanistan, and they were really struggling with the German names: Steiger (Schweinsteiger: the commentator omitted the Schwein = pig part of his name, maybe on religious grounds?), CaptainLam, Tom Cruise (Toni Kroos) or How-Des (Höwedes)

Streak looking after his Bulawayo boys again ! I don't know how Mpofu is in the side and he hasn't done much to change my opinion ....
