What a great day for Virat Kohli as he scored 101 not out on his 35th birthday!

He equalled the most number of centuries in ODI which is 49. He is joint top with batting great Sachin Tendulkar

and he did it in basically just over half the matches of Tendulkar

right now, instead, :AUS are not getting too many wickets (only 2) vs :AFG, but they're keeping the score of the Asian team very low (run rate below 5 after 30 overs)

if :AFG don't raise their batting, it would be an easy chase for :AUS in the 2nd inning

 

p.s. @hckošice I don't know if you're somehow following this event, but one of the best (if not the best) Australian bowler is named Adam Zampa :evil: :lol:

by the way, good final stint for :AFG in the 1st inning, led by an amazing century (129 out of 143 balls, not out) posted by Ibarahim Zadran

 

finally, :AFG scored 291/5 in 50 overs, giving :AUS quite a difficult task (not that they can't complete this chase, though...let's see how the :AFG bowlers feel tonight...they need a good start to fuel their hope)

 

and as I'm writing, what a start of 2nd inning!

 

first ball is a 4 for :AUS, then Mujeeb almost got Warner on the 2nd ball...if they keep this pace of action, they're all dead by the 20th over :lol: :p

I'm watching this AFG/AUS match on a Afghan TV (and they are showing commercials after every single stop :d)

 

Cricket is probably the thing that everybody in Afghanistan likes, even those Taliban Neanderthals.

 

I think they already made history by winning 4 matches but I hope they continue their dream run today and even advance to the SF. people in that country suffered (and still suffering) enough, they deserved a bit of happiness at least.

I still can't believe the story of cricket in Aghanistan.

I think I mentioned before that the sport literally did not exist in the country until the Soviet invasion in 1979.

The love for cricket was learned in refugee camps in Pakistan in the 1980s and 90s.

The national team has only existed since 2001.

Sadly :AFG 291-5 lost to :AUS 293-7 

Glenn Maxwell, who got injured early in the game, scored 201.

Probably one of the best performances in any sport of this year.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
