India v Afghanistan

[Jack Torrance]

India away is a tough start mind

Whilst I do see your point.

Cricket builds bridges marra. Im sure some list A games have been played there. The afghani people didnt want a warzone. Dunno why they're being punished by the crimes of the west (I include bin laden and al qaida in that).

I'm just a sucker for the underdog.

wasnt there a bomb blast at a T20 game in afganistan a couple of weeks ago? kind of plays into what the indians are saying. no chance of any cricket being played there in the forseeable.

It does build bridges and the rise of the cricket team has been a boon for the country. On the other hand, I'm sure the Afghanistan team don't even live in Afghanistan never mind play regular games there.

They certainly found out what test cricket is all about in this match, a long way to go for them.

Massive gap in quality between the top 6 and the rest in test cricket at the moment. Although home conditions even things up. So I don't see the point in the weaker nations playing much test cricket away to the top 6. Afghanistan, Ireland and Zimbabwe would be better served in playing v strong A sides away from home to bring them up to a point where they can compete.
