Shit decision on field. Looked stone dead.

First ball duck!Perfect fecking start
Forecaster revised its prediction up by 3 runs after Dhoni's wicket
The absolute state

Braithwaite 
Guptill and Bairstow competing for most golden ducks award.
Striking around 50 in a odi, pathetic.
Credit to Afghan bowlers but we've been dire since the first few overs.
Jadhev and Shankar have no business being in this team.

Jadhav missing out of so many bad balls
Both openers gone for first ball ducks.
7-2 off 0.5.

The Sargent killing them out here
West Indies just never know what is gonna happen
just never know what is gonna happenNeed to get Kane early, don't let the fecker settle.
Jadhav is not even taking singles. If you can't hit them long, take a single and give the strike to someone who can. 1 run from the 47th over and they too a wide. Well done Jadhav
Why are Afghans bothering with seamers, just bowl 50 overs of spin.
We've not heard of taking singles. Jhadav and Dhoni with some awful batting.
Wow he looks up for it
Yup. If he survives it’ll go the same way as Smith when we played Australia. He’ll provide the platform for them to still get a matchwinning score
Absolutely shocking batting
It's a tough, slow pitch and Afghanistan are bowling very well.
It should probably be enough but wtf is this batting
No excuses of getting two per over after 40rh over.
Honestly, without our top 3 we probably wouldn't make the semis. WTF has happened to our batting.
Absolutely shocking batting
Got to be the pitch no. Just doesn't seem to be coming on to the bat. I just started seeing for the last 2 overs where they have been trying to slog with no luck. Just looks like that. I don't know.
The 350/400 tracks will be rare as the tournament progresses. This is a tough track to bat and maybe in long term a win here will do us good but still this is some poor batting.
If Kohli can strike it at 100, the rest have no excuses to go below 80
Just seeing the scorecard. How did Kohli score at that rate?
We've scored less runs in the second half of this innings than the first. These "cameos" from Dhoni and Jadhav were terrible displays of batting.
Dotting everything. Just fecking rotate the strike you twats.
Almost as if your lack of power hitters in the middle overs is a problem...
Super difficult wicket. Fair play to Jadhav for assessing, he has played a match winning knock here.
Who cares about ICC tournaments /englandfans
/englandfansYou don't need power hitters. Kohli went at over 100 by playing smart. The other idiots are just idiots.
That wouldn't be multidimensional enough.
This problem was known for last 2-3 years yet we just bumbled about with Pandya being the only great find as a hitter. Not giving likes of Iyer, Pant, Gill more chances in last 1-2 years is just so poor.
Irrespective of the pitch, there is no excuse for not taking singles constantly.
Clearly a tough pitch to bat, India’s quality bowling should be too much for Afghanistan. It’s actually refreshing to see challenging pitches rather than 350 being scored every first innings
Should have picked Shaw. Gone with: Shaw Rohit Kohli Rahul Iyer Pant Pandya as our batting.
Yeap. Dhoni can start as slow as he wants, just keep rotating the striker at least every other ball. Occasional burst at the end to redeem SR is not good enough to grant a permanent place in the team. Oh well, let's just hope that Rohit and Kohli keep doing the job.
Difference between 224 and 250. A team of our quality should have been able to get 250-260 on this pitch.
Good thing you are sat on your armchair smoking strawberry haze and not making team selections.
Seriously.
