Guest Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 That six by Stokes off the last ball probably telling. Really only at risk of losing thanks to the spinners. Hopefully NZ don't play it as well. Big step up in class ahead tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they were awarded promotion to level three along with the Channel Islands. It might show how far the Afghans have since come if they had a test series against the likes of Zimbabwe and/or Bangladesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying the flag for the Associate Nations. Your personal/national allegiances aside, do you (and the greater public) not always want the 'smaller' nations to do well? Afghanistan/West Indies or, personally, Bangladesh/India (How could they have cocked that one up - I was watching it live and willing them on!). Rugby: Japan/South Africa - What a game. The England/Wales game was exciting, but bore no comparison to the tension and historic importance of the J/SA game. Football: Numerous national/international matches over the years - I go back to (North) Korea/Italy in 1966 or even Byron Moreno in 2002. We all (unless it's against our team) want the underdog to win. Why do the relevant authorities (I understand fully the financial pull of TV money) try to eliminate and make disappear the whole essence of sport? Money.

Why do the relevant authorities (I understand fully the financial pull of TV money) try to eliminate and make disappear the whole essence of sport? Money. I think that most people do, Phil. I remember saying after Japan's win over the Boks at the World Cup that it was one of the best sporting things I'd ever seen. That's what it's all about. Of course it pisses you right off when you're on the wrong side of the underdog story, but it's part of the reason we love sport. I didn't have the pleasure of seeing Afghanistan's win over the West Indies, but I'm really pleased for them, and not just because of Ireland's status as an associate, though we've been somewhat disappointing of late. Yes it was a dead rubber and yes Gayle didn't play, but Afghanistan could well have KO'd England a few days before as well. That level of performance was no fluke. It's a shame that we (the associates) have had to put up with the ridiculous qualifying structure put in place for the last two T20 World Cups and, as if that isn't enough, are now to be excluded altogether. The whole thing stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The worst sport without a doubt for this is tennis. The crowd NEVER support the underdog and just howl like banshees every time Federer or whoever gets a point against someone 157th in the world and groan when the reverse happens.
