    Agreed. Most, if not all won't live there. Pakistan, or elsewhere. No one in their right mind would live there.

    Of course they are that's obvious. When Saudi Arabia beat Argentina at the football WC the barbaric regime of Saudi Arabia got the entire team a Rolls Royce each. It wouldn't be a shock if this barbaric regime did something similar.

    Goodness me, you really don’t get it do you.
    1: Materialism is not A ‘Trait’ of the Taliban and it’s beliefs
    2: The only real likeness between the the Taliban and Saudi is Religion

    Unfortunately, compared to India , New Zealand and South Africa, even Pakistan I agree.
    Very well done to Afghanistan, they put us under pressure even though they didn't use their full 50 overs.

    Edit: This is not a defence of the Saudi Regime, just about your comparison between the 2

    They are a very capable side ( which is stating the obvious I suppose ) who have improved drastically in last few years with Trott as their main man.

    The battings been iffy, they don’t seem to know how they are going to bat plus the balling has been poor, we seem to just chuck away runs.
    And what an act of genius giving a place to injury prone Ben Stokes just because he fancied a game!

    It’s been a distraction and disruption since he’s said he wanted to play. You feel the team are in limbo waiting for his big return, meanwhile could be on the plane home before he’s fit. Madness.

    Aye it was a pretty shambolic effort by us, bar Rashid, Wood and Topley. Chuffed for the Afghans though I hope it brings some joy to a desperate nation.

    Cheers my friend … I can’t watch today but will definitely tune in tomorrow.
    It’s not a game for the purist but still enjoyable … and I’d support my country in any sport

    Sri Lanka lost all their wickets for 84 runs after a strong start. We nearly had our first close match of the tournament but it wasn't to be.
