    How much of this is down to Ireland being bad, and how much down to Afghanistan being good. Are they likely to spring any surprises at the world cup?

    It would be great to have another competitive cricket nation, it just would have been nice if it could have been Ireland!

    Nice partnership this between Stirling and Dockrell. 70 runs off it and Ireland 139/6 with 5 overs left

    Three wickets in nine balls for one run..


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Stirling out for 89. He was just five balls away from carrying his bat. Superb knock all the same

    Ireland 161 all out.

    Hmm.. Afghan openers cantering along, don't seem to be in any great difficulty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Zazai gone. 44/1 after 13. Afganistan slightly ahead of the required rate but plenty of wickets in hand of course


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,732 ✭✭✭BarryD2


    Easy enough for AFG. Watched about 20 overs of their innings and wouldn't need the fingers of one hand to count the number of times the ball beat the bat. Ah well, that's how it goes. Even the Irish lads were smiling at the end.

    I watched a bit earlier today. Doesn't look like there was anybody in the stadium at all - any idea what sort of attendance they've had so far in tour?


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Afghanistan win the toss and will bat first in second ODI.

    Ireland debut for James Cameron-Dow


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Zazai hits a six second ball. Could be another rough day for the bowlers


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    37/0 after 7 and zazai is flying with 35 off 22


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    56/0 after 10


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    18 runs off cameron Dow's first over. Zazai having a field day and is 61 off 35 including five 6s.

    76/0 after 12


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    90/0 15

    Sizing up to be another hard day alright. Our lads must be wishing for the test to come ASAP and on the plane home!


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,494 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Mcbrine gets zazai!

    159/2 32


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,732 ✭✭✭BarryD2


    Could be looking at 300 here, depending on how we bowl.. TBH can't see us getting past 200. Maybe they'll get complacent :)
