Maxwell farming the strike...

Afghani bowlers are impressive. It's a shame they had two washouts because they don't appear to be mugs.

[KiwiMurph]

We've made the semis

The OZ bowlers will have to do very well because the batting has not been convincing. Looks unlikely they will even reach our score of 185.

168 means they will need the Poms to trip up

Commentators saying Aus need to restrict Afg to under 106 to go ahead of England on NRR.

And that doesn't account for any NRR gain from England if they win v Sri Lanka.

I am devastated to say that the chances of Australia making the semi finals appear to be quite low,

According to Cricinfo

The hosts now need to try and keep Afghanistan to 106 or fewer to get themselves ahead of England's run rate. In fact, our stats editor S Rajesh offers this clarification: "Assuming England score 160 and win by a run, Australia need to keep Afghanistan down to 116 to stay ahead."

[No Quarter]

Fuck me that was a clean hit

I think you need to track down Suzie and see if she will work on a contract basis.

[ACT Crusader]

Lovely shot Gurbaz.

[Damo]

Clean hitting from Gurbaz.

I hope ICC work with these guys to ensure they get some decent games because there is some talent there.

[ACT Crusader]

Lovely soft hands.

Aussies under the pump and Michael Clarke is starting to question selections 😀

[ACT Crusader]

These two out here for Afghanistan are both only 20 years old. Oz bowling yet to really trouble them.

[ACT Crusader]

Mistimed shot by Gurbaz and skies it but Green drops it.

He didn't even get near it to drop it! Is this park cricket?

[ACT Crusader]

Argh rush of blood by Gurbaz and now he’s gone.

[No Quarter]

Aus catching has been poor this tournament

[Damo]

Afghans need 90 off 9 with 8 wickets in hand.

Unlikely, but not impossible.

[No Quarter]

Pretty likely if Aus don't get a few wickets soon, they're in a bit of trouble at the moment
