That must surely be Afghanistan's finest cricketing moment?

Well that was quite a thrashing. Out-batted and out-bowled.
Team just isn't working atm. I think Woakes and Curran both need to be dropped. The pair of them have now had three very poor matches with bat and ball. They're going to need to lengthen the tail, I think. Top order will have to deliver. When's Stokes back?

Absolutely horrendous result and performance. Embarrassing.

Who said that?“It’s not arrogant to say we’re a very good team”
tbh I feared this might happen to England at this WC. They feel like a team on a downward trajectory. This isn't a disaster yet, but realistically they can only afford to lose one more game out of the next six. And those games include India, SA, Pakistan and Australia. Next game vs SA feels like a must-win.

Ben Stokes: ‘I don’t think it’s arrogance to say we’re a very good team’
Having reversed his 50-over retirement, England’s Test and T20 talisman talks to Ali Martin about the Ashes summer, Freddie Flintoff’s return and his hopes of retaining the World Cup in India

Well done Afghanistan. Two world wars, one world cup eh lads?

It's what I said from the start, or meant, as to why we had no chance. That plus Indian conditions (and being in India) plus we are always the team to fuck up against Ireland, Netherlands etc regardless = no chance.
Woakes is off it, Curran is Curran (shit) and we miss Stokes far, far more than we realise. And I'm not convinced about Buttler's captaincy. Curran should never have had those overs towards the end.

It doesn't fell very Bazbally at the moment. I know they have a different captain for the one day game, but are all the backroom staff different?

If you mean Stokes, we'll, maybe, but he's in the squad. Can't exactly make him sit outside.

Wow. That's not a result I was expecting. Does England a few favours in the table too. Also makes Saturdays game crucial for both teams.

Only three South Africans in the Dutch team (two Indians, one Aussie, two Kiwis, three Dutch)

Which is less than England used to (and still would given the chance).
Great result for the game but c'mon, 15 matches gone and this was amongst the closest at 38 runs. In fact, in terms of runs, it's the closest. On wins by the team batting 2nd, 5 wickets is the closest.
This is a bit shit.

Afghanistan have let this slip. Those missed chances are likely to have cost them the game.
