Only just turned 16 apparently

These pitches are awful

[Googly]

They really are. Bowlers' WC.
Is the whole WC being played in East London?

[secretzimbo]

Kimberley, Poch and East London I think

Mankad! Harsh decision, the batter was not out of his crease when the bowler finished his action.

Love a mankad I love the Twitter arguments that follow even more

[ilovearsenal04]

Tbh that was really not a Mankad, he finished his action but did not release the ball. The momentum just drifted him out of the crease but the Afghan guy really cheated here. I mean i do not really like the Afghans so i might be biased in my opinion but that really was harsh from the bowler to even wait so long. They lost anyway so all good in the end.

Afghanistan getting shredded every game, first by Pakistan and now by NZ. I'd have liked them to be in Zimbabwe's group.

Lol I take my words back.

What kind of pitches they are playing on?

Afghanistan is producing some really good spinners. No doubt about it and I can't understand how these foreign teams are so clueless against decent spin!?

[Googly]

Theyre teaching that spin. Hold the ball cross seam with forefinger and middle finger on top and you can bowl an offie or slide your middle finger to the left to get a leg cutter.
I've been watching carefully. Narine, Noor Ahmed, Raza a bit, now this guy. Run thru the wicket with a bit of pace.
Easier to master this than wrist spin.

Toss is going to be huge on Saturday, batting first and then we are in trouble. Surprised the wickets have been so poor.
