... of more interest than the usual ODI, given the background.

I hope we win, because it would be embarrassing not to, but I hope the Afghanistan team do very well.

Say?:

Australia 7-287, innings closed after 50 overs;

Afghanistan 284 all out (49.5 overs), Shapoor Zadran stumped going for the winning boundary?

I had better stop pumping Midge's tyres. He might be the next Ashes winner. And swing a left then a right hook to the resident version of the Barmy Army.

Clarke says he will bat "on this concrete". It is baked clay.

Early evening & it is 38.8 degrees celsius.

Zadran gets Warner, and Wade has been crawling.

Was amused to hear Clarke say on radio early yesterday morning that Afghanistan is a dangerous opponent.

Australia collapsing against the Afghanistan spinners. Three wickets falling for 13 runs to have Aus 4/185 after 39 overs.

Average performance by Aust so far. Bowlers are struggling with the conditions it seems.

It's safely in the bag though - no big bananaskins in sight. Which can often lurk in unfamiliar places and new conditions.

And curiously, Midge is Oz's most economical bowler.

Midge gets another. 166/7. I doubt if even we could cock it up from here.

A pretty good effort by the 'ghans. Played well above their affiliate status.

That's a useful hit-out for our blokes, and a creditable first match against us by Afghanistan. They should do OK at this level.

Watched the first hour but it was a bit tedious as Wade and Clarke looked to built a foundation. Looks a creditable effort by the Ghanis.

It's a great story how cricket spread there with the Pakistanis teaching those in the refugee camps about the game.
