You guys need hearing implants. Listen carefully, Nabi has the mic and he is telling Kohli, "We will bowl first". Its normal to say your decision to the opponent before going to the announcer.
Showed less fire maybe because they were demoralized by the hammering they got ?I believe you.
While I certainly think Afghanistan didn't show the fire against India as was shown against Pakistan and again might be shown against NZ on Sunday, this whole microphone/Kohli dictating is embarrassing to be talked about. In that regard, it would be good, if you have the time, to watch the body language and the level of intent by Afghanistan against its various opponents in this tournament.
Match fixings don't have to be a crude affair like Kohli telling Nabi as being alleged. It could well be an understanding of something like: 'We don't have a chance anyway so why not India be in the game to increase the tournament revenue, which would eventually benefit us.' Or the Afghanistan captain saying: 'Look, don't kill yourself today. We are already out so just chill. '
A whole team doesn't and cannot be bought off. But I do think Afghanistan seemed really not be trying hard against India in a do-or-die game for Afghanistan (and India).
Anyway, this is all a 'pointless' debate. India's fate will be decided on Sunday when NZ plays against Afghanistan and I am confident NZ will win. India will be out, though more money will be made by the tournament as long as India is 'in the game'.
So a Turk living in US knows cricket, strangeEven a 0.5 front has to be stage managed to provide a false victory…..
Give me a “Mujib” I will give you a victory…..
Many people aren't questioning Indian capabilities. Your team is still one of the best. I don't know why you have lost two games with big margins. It might be because of the extreme pressure that Indian media and public puts on the team before every crucial match in the form of huge expectations.Showed less fire maybe because they were demoralized by the hammering they got ?
This is beyond insane, all this talk from Pakistan about this being fixed. Seriously ? cricketing giants India smashed Afghanistan. Sports can sometimes throw up surprises and nothing is set in stone but this was just nature taking its course, just like the sun rises every morning.. nothing suspect or out of the ordinary here.
" 'We don't have a chance anyway so why not India be in the game to increase the tournament revenue, which would eventually benefit us.' Or the Afghanistan captain saying: 'Look, don't kill yourself today. We are already out so just chill. ' "
come on, man, that's not fair to Afghanistan. India just happened to be a bit too much for them (which should really not have come as a surprise to anyone who knows anything about the game) in that match but they're generally a well regarded team from among the 'lesser' cricketing nations which is why many of them play in 20 leagues all over the world.
You're right though, losing the first 2 against proper teams like Pak and NZ has more or less ensured India are out and will be going home. Silver lining being our guys get a few days of rest because NZ are touring here and the first of three 20 games is on the 17th, just 3 days after the final, one of which will be a travel day.
India and Pak will next face off in Sri Lanka next year for the 50 over Asia cup.
Bs threadListen carefully. Kohli tell Nabi what he has to do if he won the toss.... lolzzz .... Kohli to Nabi : You will ball first... Nabi : Yes Sir in the name of my IPL contract.
They want that Pashtun territory of PakistanI am baffled why these proud and chest thumping Afghans are so willing to become b!tches of India. Just to spite Pakistan.
It's like cutting your nose to spite your face.
Anybody who thinks the match was fixed and India cannot beat Afghanistan is an idiot
As simple as that
more evidence of the afghan team selling out and match fixing with india...
please watch till the end. this afghan saw something WHILE it was happening, i.e. before the match was over; even that sikh guy in the end agreed with him that they are match fixing...
India had a couple of off days and performed below par in the first 2 to lose by big margins, Pak and NZ also played exceedingly well, spl Pak in that first game seemed really fired up.Many people aren't questioning Indian capabilities. Your team is still one of the best. I don't know why you have lost two games with big margins.

The only thing that's bothering many of us in Pakistan was the lack of interest shown by Afghanistan, and that's leading to all these theories.
Do you think someone who took one wicket and only has given 7 runs to a charged side, is allowed to ball only one over? We have two such bowlers in Afghanistan team, just look at the figures.
Without taking any credit from your team, which I believe is still in the top three if this tournament is reset, there are some afghan players whose acts have created suspicions.
Before this match, I was thinking that if Afghans somehow manage to win against NZ even if they lose to India, they are reaching semis. They still can because it is still difficult for India. Why they showed a lack of interest and why they made obvious mistakes is beyond me.
Do you think it was a fixed match? 63 needed by India and all out right at the margin 66.Bs thread
Clearly its nabi...can we stop this racist BS NOW
