Afghanistan are literally ICC's baby. They care for them like a baby.

Reschedule could go to Zims advantage, some rest days now.
f**k Afghanistan, why the hell does the ICC pander to those goatfuckers ill never know.
ps- Goatfuckers not just a cuss, i was drinking with some army boys and they were all telling me how they used to watch the afghans f**k goats and yoing boys from a distance but were ordered not to interfere. Was common, almost cultural.
Afghanistan senior team has been trash at ICC events so far (16 games, 0 wins against other top 10 teams in ODIs), but the ICC still feel they bring more value than some other full members.

Nice that they are streaming the non-broadcast games.
For anyone in Zim, it says at the bottom that they will be on the SuperSport YouTube channel rather than icc.tv

West Indies are getting absolutely rolled here. Obviously Aussie still have to bat, but I'm sure they're sharp.

Matches rescheduled, zimbabwe first match is against PNG in jan15th
Should be a confidence booster. Zim need to do what England did to PNG in the warm-up

So we have the U19's tomorrow and the seniors on Sunday, big weekend this isn't it. Hopefully the cricketers make a better stab at things than the footballers have. :oops:

These West Indians have got some sharp bowlers. This Layne lad is real good.
What pace do they bowl at

Hard to say, I tend to err on the high side, probably around 135? Turns out Layne is related to Jason Holder.
The quickest guy is likely to be the 6ft 8 Pakistani. He was apparently clocked at close to 150.

As par batting is concerned, Bishop, Nandu and Auguste are the future for West Indies

Well Mwale and Rugg came from UK I think? Presumably the other 2 came from Zim?
