Gayle is in the mood, then
As it goes, I have quite a bit of time for Steve Smith - but I find this sudden ‘ooh, don’t boo our brave boys’ stuff from the Aussies after years and years of ‘playing hard’ (being utterly boorish) a little difficult to stomach.
How can you boo kind, gentle, mild mannered looks at notes…David Warner
He’s just hoping he can use the boos as a motivational tool, and knows full well of he says “please, English fans, don’t boo them” they’ll get extra loud boos
I was saying Boo-ehrendorff.
Good to see them getting this game over with in time for the start of the Australia game later
Good to see teams winning games with the ball innit.
Absolutely delighted with the build of that Afghanistan opener. Athlete
Missed the first ten mins and missed both openers would love to see Afghanistan do well and, of course, would LOVE to see Australia crumble but I don’t think this game is going to go the way I want…
Absolutely love a heavyset cricketer. Might try to knock up an XI of the last 20 years or so

Rory kleiveldt opening the bowling. Inzy and Rob key holding the innings together
Ranatunga and Mark Cosgrove strengthening the middle order.
Malinga trying to work his way in as another quick option but there’s got to be someone else ahead of him, other than Kleinveldt
Might struggle with fast bowlers, spinning options should be fine
Merv hughes bringing the girth AND style
Samit Patel has already booked his buffet breakfast
Tell you what, it is a damn shame this team never took the field, it would have been genuinely a GBOL lads.
Yeah I’m clutching at straws with Flintoff, Malinga etc. but not sure I believe it. Fucking love Kleinveldt though
