Tiripano making his debut according to Cricinfo. I don't know a lot about him, can someone describe to me what kind of bowler he is?

EDIT: And he picks up a wicket in his first over! Well done lad.

[Ming]

...and Tiripano gets his first wicket! 0/1 off two overs. Cracking start!

And rightly so, Waller hasn't performed for quite a while. I was really surprised that he didn't play in any of the warm up matches if i'm honest.

BTW if you head over to the Afghanistan Facebook page you can see some snaps of the match

Regis in .....

No surprises there. He's always bee a favourite with the powers that be ...

The selectors know what Waller can do, it's important that Regis gets some exposure at international level

Chatara gets one, interesting to see that Taylor is not taking the gloves

[Ming]

...and two! Chatara gets his man. 29/2 after 13 overs.
