Two clueless Tories and a cricket pun. What a Monday this is...

Bangladesh with Dust Bowls in T20 Format might just overkill the game.

Promised myself I would abstain from this section.

With the recent political turmoil in Afghanistan I am worried about the impact on the Afghan cricket team. Will they continue as normal or will politics play heavy on the team? There have been some good players, a couple guys well can walk into any other international test team from the Afghan team. I am thinking players may leave the country and play county cricket or first class cricket elsewhere.

Your thoughts? Very disturbing what the outcome may hold for Afghan cricket!

No words.

I don't think the change of government itself will affect the cricket team. They already play their home series outside Afghanistan.

I found it quite agonizing instead of it being funny.

Wasn't aware of that. That complicates things a lot.

Old mate Jarvo back at it lol. Seriously, how has this guy not been banned already? Is it only a five dollar fine for pitch invasions over there?

And then these people talk about promoting the Islamic religion. No religion supports oppression of rights of an individual irrespective of genders. Again these are things that should be decided individually and not by a governing body. Absolute rubbish decision that!!!!!
