THX_1138 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Reporter Martin Amis of the BBC was in an unlikely venue following a local team practicing cricket drills. Not England, Not India, Not Australia... Martin Amis was reporting from a dust bowl, not because the pitch offered considerable assistance to the spinners, but in a literal dust bowl just north of Kabul. "We dont follow the ball, we just follow the dust... where the dust is, the ball is!" said Dost Muhammed, captain of the recently victorious Afghanistan cricket team that overwhelmed expectations and emerged as the Dark Horse of the ICC World Cup Preliminaries. His team almost qualified for the final stages of the World Cup, scheduled to be held in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in 2011. Dost Muhammed felt that while the majority of the players were excited about the recent victories, there was however a lingering hunger. Nay, not a hunger, a burning desire. "It is my dream, it is our dream, to go to Pakistan and beat them. We dont want to beat any other team as much!" The rivalry against the traditional opponents Pakistan was evident as the bowling and fielding drills continued and a few bemused spectators watched from the edge of the field. Training in mountains and any clearing available in the mountainous country the team has much to improve upon as half the attempted catches were dropped and on occassion the bowl would pass right between the parted feet of the fielders, but Muhammed is hopeful that a brighter future is ahead. "We want to play cricket a lot..." Link to comment
