Afghanistan bowling well here but still reckon Pakistan will nick it
I think things have changed a bit since you posted this, looking like a fantastic last half hour here.

hell of a finish but that over going for 18 was the difference, unlucky for Afghanistan, they're not quite ready to truly compete against the bigger sides but the gap is pretty tiny now, especially if they get anything out of the pitch for the spinners.

With a bit of calm and professionalism they could have beaten India and Pakistan. That over was the difference.

Yes Gulbadin Naib captaincy has gone to your head and made you incapable of thinking straight. You and your counterpart Sarfraz Ahmed must be very close together for the worst skipper of tournament award.

There was a fight near us which seemed to take a long time to be broken up. I saw one person in army fatigues (?) get escorted out about 10 minutes later when I went to the loo. It did make me think that the police presence there is at football games would have nipped it in the bud a lot quicker. There were also a number of occasions reminiscent of those days in the Holte where an away fan has been noticed (I.e. loads of people standing up and watching the crowd instead of the game but no idea what's actually happening). Overall it wasn't an unpleasant atmosphere despite this. I wouldn't read too much into the pitch invasion at the end, may not happen as often these days but was just exuberance.

Afghan fans are a little bit over exuberant but there is never any real venom at cricket grounds. Fans can manage to get through peacefully sitting side by side when India and Pakistan play so that's a fair test of acceptance.
There is a market in Kabul where you can pick up Army uniform of any country you like including US, UK and even North Korea.

England batting first. This is the best move and I predict a win is on it's way.
