To say the least I am nervous...could be another early exit for India

Could've been alot worse if they'd held their catches!!!

I know this might be the kick up the backside that might get India going or going home...we have no bowling and just batting can't win you all matches...

tell you what though if Afghans win this game Eng better watch out as they would get even hungrier to cause another upset...

The Indian bowling line up is poor at best, they need to chase to be a force in this tournament I believe.

Actually, I think if Afghanistan do win against India then there is much less likelihood of England slipping up against them. No excuses for not taking them seriously if they win today! The only reason India could lose this game is because they have underrated them. Poor preparation and a poor mindset...

I just have a feeling that this will be Afghans and Ireland tournament....

So good to see Yuvi back, adds some experience after Dravid, Tendulkar and Co aren't involved. Starting to tighten the screw now!!!

[FvanN]

Well the dream of an upset seems to be disappearing

[The_Bird]

Noooo!!

Idiotic shot

[tushar sehgal]

still close...still doable...i dont want India to loose but i find myself feeling good for Afghans as they get closer and closer

[Cover_Drive]

Whilst India won, I must say I was impressed the way Afghanistan played. The more I see them play, the better they are becoming. From here they will become nothing but better than what they were today.

In batting I think there batsman need more experience, that will help them control there nerves. They are improving but often there batting reminds me of Shahid Afridi as they wish to hit everything out of park, perhaps this has something to do with Pathan inheritance?

Overall well played Afghanistan, you were impressive.

Was very impressed with Afghanistan, they showed their inexperience at times but they're undoubtedly full of raw talent! The thing that stuck with me was Ashwin's bowling, in particular, the stall in the middle of his bowling action. What are the rules regarding this? It seemed like quite a dramatic stop in his action which I thought was illegal?

Hopefully it'll be Windies or Zimbabwe's 

[tushar sehgal]

Phew!! that was mighty close, closer than the 23run win would make you think..well played Afghans...as for Ashwin stopping/halting I don't know if its illegal or not but don't think its in the spirit of the game...a few spinners do this but its one thing to really slow down your arm swing/release but another to just stop..

WI fast bowler (can't remember his name) did this in the 50 over WC I think where he would run in and slow down/stop as if he was pulling out then continue running in to bowl...which i remember was criticized for not being in the spirit...

Good win for my boys tonight. Was a little worried before the game.
