TEST MATCH: Afghanistan v Zimbabwe

[brandon]

Currently ongoing, Live on Freesports. Day 1.

Afghanistan 69-5.

Google live odds still has Afghanistan as favourites. Presume the wicket is a shocker?

Muzarabani looks a good bowler. Apparently he had a spell at Northants.

Watched the first session and it seems fine to me. Decent bowling and some poor shots have contributed to the demise.

Martin Emmerson could get a gig here as a commentator with a few of the guys from the county commentary set up.

Afghanistan 131 all out.

Is Rashid Khan not playing?

Guessing he’s in the Pakistan T20 competition which is a shame

Now that would be good, with his reading Smb cricket forum emails

 

[Aidan11]

No reviews in this game. I guess the costs were an issue with that.

He ignores me he certainly has his favourites

Now this is where the ICC should ensure that all test playing nations can use DRS. The rich nations have a million cameras, so it should really be easy for the likes of India, Australia and England to chip in, to help the lower ranked teams

He ignores me he certainly has his favourites

A sore point, I will email him

Zimbabwe 128 for 5. Terrific unbeaten half century for Williams. They'd be in a whole load of trouble if it wasn't for him.

Aww did this little snowflake have his feelings hurt by the big nasty BBC man.

I couldn't give a toss. I've physically met dozens of better known people and don't care what most of them think either, hell I'd have been more famous than Emmerson for a while. I know how the media work, particularly the mostly mediocre ones at the BBC that manage to get outsmarted by Tommy Robinson. I've had a fair share of my own experiences.

If you care about what celebs think then there's something wrong with you. Care what the decent people who know you think.

Anyway gotta fancy Zimbabwe from this position, but it could swing very quickly, albeit their lower order looks pretty solid statistically at least.

Please can you give your political views out of this forum, thanks.

It’s actually really good to see these two play test cricket. Two completely fucked up countries, hopefully improving a bit. Sport can generally bring a bit of hope

Zimbabwe cruising here. Over 100 run lead and now have Afghanistan 6–2 in their second innings.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Afghanistan 15-3 in their second innings and still 104 runs behind...

 

[Silly Point]

Could be another two day Test on the cards

 

[The Hesford Diet]

At least they'll lose by less than an innings and 100 runs now.
