Nzl v Afghanistan World cup match #16 Chennai

[Gollum]

I know I'll sound like a padosi but looking at the dropped catches by Afghans, their decision to bowl first etc. Are they doing these things deliberately? I mean those catches even kids will do better.

Chahal level?

Worse. 

 

But to be fair to Chahal he usually sidesteps, looks directly at sun/lights or runs in wrong direction to make easy catches look impossible, then no-one can say he dropped them.

Yes. If they beat Ind and Aus Or even Pak. Sure. 

Or even Pak?

 

NZ always lies down to Pak. Pak owns them like we own Pak at the WC.

Nz beat Pak in 2011 WC and 2016 T20 WC.    But overall, Pak hv won more against Nz.

Taylor magic in 2011...  And in T20 WC 2016 they also beat Australia their whipping boyzz... 2016 T20 WC was crazy in itself

NZ have chapman at 7 and Santner at 8. We have Jaddu and Ashwin/Thakur

Should really have backed Tilak. Not much of a downgrade from Ashwin as offie.

Will Young is a good player of spin.  Much better against spin than pace. Not sure he should be opening ahead of Rachin.  Will be better at 5 with Mitchell and Latham coming in at 3 and 4. 

Called it.

 

Will Young today 

 

Vs Pace

 

16 runs off 34 balls

 

Vs Spin

 

38 runs off 30 balls

 

Very unusual for a SENA opener . Better served at 5 against pace heavy bowling attacks.

Mitchell should be opening. Hammers pace.

 

Rachin seems better at 3/4.

Chapman?

 

Chap & man. Isn't that a redundancy?

[IndiaWC8311]

Winning mentality Mitch Santner leading wicket taker and bowled really well in his home ground

Nah Rachin should be opener. Opens in domestic as well.  Mitchell is their best #3 .  Competent against spin and pace .  

 

He has very good numbers at 3. Latham 4. Young 5 - to play spin and then Glenn and Chapman.
