I've had a couple of quid on the Afghans at 6-4

good bet that from my spreadsheet.
Afghan only need to score 16/0 from 6 overs to become favourites again.
I will post the full table when someone on twitter post it.

Great got my spreadsheet wrong.

Afghanistan need 33/0 of the first 6 overs.

Think we'll win. The pressure will hopefully get to the Afghanistan batsmen.

Shahzad doesn't feel pressure. Will all depend on if England can get him within the first 2/3 overs.

Is this a betting thread?

How does the pressure thing work? For an England player, pressure is doing your GCSEs. Afghani's have grown up in refugee camps in an occupied country. England are facing the predictable shame of failing against a team without any of their advantages. Afghanistan are chasing something they will remember proudly for all of their lives. In fact, Afghanistan win more than they lose. English limited overs players are schooled in failure.

A facile point, probably.

That will produce pressure.

Shane will be enjoying this.

Great start!

[Dr Cricket]

I should really be doing work now but england are playing so crap that makes a good viewing.

Willey having a good match...gets the key man.

Need Jordan to have one of his good days too though. I'd have thought they might consider using a spinner to start but that doesn't seem to be in Morgan's play book.

Listening to Hussain commentate on an England defeat is becoming the kind of guilty pleasure that listening to Robin Jackman call a South African loss has long been.
