And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Australia claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Australia and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Afghanistan really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Australia and that's exactly how it played out.
