We want wicket, sir!!!

Now bowlers are leaking runs.  They are letting Afghanistan get back in a comfort zone.

Shami has gone full retard after a beautiful start.

May have left him in the field too long without getting a chance to come into the attack.

[UDontKnow 10439]

Pandya got 10 overs bowling today when could have swung 5 overs between Vijay Shankar/Kedar Jadhav with new Afghan batsmen. Poor captaincy.

EDIT: And as I post this, Pandya proves me wrong by bagging another wicket.

Pandya always seems to get worked over a couple of overs then settles in.  If he can keep the bad overs to an average RPO he would be doing fine.

[UDontKnow 10439]

Goddammit Shami. Calm the fuck down, slow your delivery, and don't give up multiple runs per delivery.

EDIT: 9 runs off of that over - higher than the asking rate. Get it together for your last two overs man.

Kedar Jadhav are you kidding me with that fielding?

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Jadhav is jackass.  Atrocious fielding all match.

Fielding today has left a lot to be desired as has some loose bowling giving up free runs on wides and byes.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Got to get Nabi out.

[satyanash 14473]

BOOM what a stumping!!!

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

If India hold on to win, Chahal is Man of the Match.

Not enough since giving up 8 runs an over.

Him or Bumrah.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

How the hell did he miss that?

[satyanash 14473]

Pandya you madarchod, killed us with the missed run-out. Had all 3 stumps to aim at.

He should have half Johnty Rhodes it. He had time to run towards the stumps.

[satyanash 14473]

That's plumb!!

He gone.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

God damnit.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

And my feed crashed right after the review.  Fuck me.

[satyanash 14473]

Shami you motherfucker...

[UDontKnow 10439]

Final over. Shami bowling. Can he not hemorrhage 16 runs?

[satyanash 14473]

GOT HIM!!!

[UDontKnow 10439]

That is the match.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Wheeeeeeew.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Great innings by Nabi.

[satyanash 14473]

Hat-trick for Shami!! What a death over!

[UDontKnow 10439]

And a hat-trick by Shami. Not bad.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

SHami on the hat trick 😂

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Shami, Man of the Match lol.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Good to escape with the win, but good grief the middle order needs to get its shit together.

Four for. Give it to him.

Leave it to India to nearly fuck up 3 points gift in the table. Have to keep winning to stay in the race for the knock out rounds.

Out --> Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar

In <-- Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja

[UDontKnow 10439]

Bumrah is the MoM

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Those two quick wickets he took in the middle of the innings was huge.

[UDontKnow 10439]

Now hope West Indies can run down New Zealand. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Man that was a heck of a match.  Two matches in a row that went down to the end.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Universe Boss and Hetmyer putting up a really nice partnership.  Saying that watch both of them give up their wickets in the next ten minutes.

[APMP 688]

Ravi Jadeja needs a game. He can't be that much worse than the current middle order bats.

He's the best all-rounder on the roster. His bowling economy is better than Hardik Pandya's. Jadeja is the best fielder India has and by batting him, you shorten the tail. Get your head out of your ass Virat.

[UDontKnow 10439]

West Indies made it interesting against New Zealand, but didn't get the result. Lackadaisical batting from their top order doomed them. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Carlos almost won it by himself.  Other than him and Gayle and a little bit of Hetmyer no one else bothered to show up.  Typical of their side.

Has to be deflating for him. But on the bright side, he is the new Afghanistan!

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

I want to feel bad for South Africa, but don't.  They and the West Indies have fallen off a cliff in ODI's.  At least West Indies do good in the T20 format.

Anyone else intrigued for tomorrow's England-Australia tilt? I, for one, am as it will tell us lots about both potential knockout round teams.

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Should be one of the best matches of the tournament. 

That said, Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi.

F England. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19184]

Shakib with another historic performance yesterday. Second man ever to hit for 50 runs and take 5 wickets in a World Cup match.

In cricket, I hate Aussies more than I hate England. But, India bested Australia in round robin, so I don't really care about the result one way or the other. But England is about to lose this match in pretty bad fashion. Since Australia's terrible loss to India, they have pulled up their boot straps and are back in form. I believe India should win out in round robin play and I predict an India Australia championship match.
