gakgupta Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Win against England ...then Pak and now srilanka... This is quite an achievement for a associate team like Afghanistan.... I am sure this brought smiles to lakhs of fans in Afghanistan .. But most important question ... is this a flash in the pan ?? Or it will be become second important subcontinent team ??

Vilander Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think they will challenge India. Since people contest death and dismembermet in afganistan. Contesting cricket is purely about skill and joy for them. No pressure. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 They are a test team. Conditions matter, they play their home games here. They need fast bowlers to compete everywhere. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 They will trouble teams on those low bouncy dead Pakistani Pitches or even UAE if they qualify for CT Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 This side is more like 1996 srilanka. Just need a leader. So many match winners in their side sugumarrising 1 Link to comment

Not sure how often they can replicate this in future As for Pakistan, they came close to an upset multiple times in last 4 years. This win should give them the needed mental edge for future. Afg vs Pak will be a classic fixture in the coming decade sage 1 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Lot of planning goes in. THey try to avoid the mistakes they already made. I see a spark. Now they have to sustain and take it to next elvel Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I am all for helping Afghanistan overtaking Pakistan in subcontinent. Invite them to take part in our domestic system. Should do everything to make them the second best team permanently. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 They should try to get noor Ahmed in the side as well. And don't forget they almost beat us last WC. Link to comment

We should do everything in our power to ensure that. Pakistan was 4th in both Asia Cup and Asian Games. Time to move them to 5th. Maybe later on behind Nepal etc. Norman 1 Link to comment
Number Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 The way their middle order(Hashmat, Rahmat, Omarzai, Ikram) have performed against India, Pak, England and SL, I think it is their coming of the age tournament. Before the tournament started I only rated their openers as international standards batsmen but others have surprised me. Their bowling was always going to be good. Best spin attack in the world by some margin, pace attack is okay except death overs. They must be kicking themselves for losing to BD. Had they won, they would be on the verge of qualifying.

And they trashed you this world cup. I know you try to forget that conveniently but I will remind Pakistanis like you. DON'T FORGET OCT 23, 2023 when AFg trashed and humiliated your Pakistan by 8 wickets. Link to comment

AuxiliA Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 They could even have had a shot at SF, had they not lost to BD in their opening match. Link to comment
