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.

    • One has already been approved under the new rules. 
    • There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.

    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
