I am cheering on a South African team. I never thought this would happen.

Perfect chance for Jayawardene to plunder some runs against amateurs on a flat deck and a tiny ground

Not denying it was smart strategy to hold him back against the Afghani new ball bowlers early on but goddamn what a looter in a riot he is.

How high does Afghanistan need to push this run rate before the last 10 overs to have a real shot? 6.50+? more?

Is the batting order set in stone before the match starts, like in baseball? I thought it was, but something in the cricinfo commentary just suggested that is wasn't.

Nope. You can send people in any order, usually it's done in Test matches late on a day when a nightwatchman might be sent in.

Well they couldn't even get it up to 6.

Maybe Hassan can take a few quick wickets and pull things back from the edge for the Afghanis.

E: Or one of the Zardans, whatever.

Must have been watching too much Australian cricket, was surprised by the lack of screaming, cartwheels and saluting of the Sun God when a century was scored.

One more wicket will be huge as Sri Lanka's last three batsmen are really bad.

Had a feeling South Africa's brittle bowling would be exposed, didn't think it'd be this early in the tournament though.
