Never ever expect upsets when New Zealand are involved. These guys are like robots who will get the job done every time. 

 

Most thinking among the SENA teams. They instead of chasing 350 they settled down for 290.

If we beat Bangladesh (which we should), would love to chase against NZ. Even if we lose, doesn't really matter. But should get tested. One of the only other bowling attacks in the world cup other than us which is world class (Australia too - even more so if Zampa comes back in form).

That catch by NZ meanwhile Afghans were dropping dollies.

Somebody pointed out that New Zealand has never lost to a minnow.

 

Among the major cricketing nations at the inaugural World Cup - all except East Africa (WI, Aus, Pak, SL, NZ, Eng, India) - New Zealand is the only country to have never won the world cup either.

[Norman]

Uffff what a catch!!! 

[Laaloo]

NZ bowling is even scarier now with Ferguson back in form just in time.

I think at the WC they have not lost to Zim, Ban, Afg... or any of the non test playing qualifiers. They did boycott Kenya match in 2003.

 

I would say a minnow is a country that has never qualified for the WC semis even if they play tests. Only Kenya(a minnow) comes to mind that qualified for a semis in 2003 WC where people were boycotting venues for security or Mugabe type reasons.

I still think we'll bash their fast bowlers. Lockie can be taken for plenty if attacked. Same goes for Henry. That **boult needs to be handled with care.

So is Chennai a bat first or bat second ground?

 

 

[Lord]

Dumb Afghanis should have batted first. Why change what got you a great win.

 

Have they ever won chasing against big team?

Spot on, They are not good enough to chase big totals.

[rollingstoned]

That group stage match against Nzl will be a good stress test for us. At the moment even defending totals against them is not easy with their deep lineup and 3 world class batsmen in Latham, Conway and Mitchell even without Kane.

Yeah just found out they chose to bowl first. Morons.

[R!TTER]

NZ will be b*** *ed by Oz, when was the last time they won against big brother? India should also do well unless we drop half a dozen catches as well

[IndiaWC8311]

This Hashmatullah Shahidi is grade A tuk tuk and brain dead

 

They need to drop him and play Najibullah Zadran who is also left ahnder but way more dynamic

[BH-BAIB]

Afghan have to bat first if they win toss almost everytime
