Re: Welcome to test cricket.
I just hope the Afghans don't give up. I think their tortured country needs all the support it can get.

Re: Welcome to test cricket.
Their ODI side does well. Test cricket ("red ball cricket") is another entirely different game though. Somebody made the suggestion yesterday that a second tier of test cricket may be a better introduction - Afghanistan, Ireland, Scotland, Ziimbabwe, Bangladesh - providing a higher level of match otherwise available to them whilst not facing died in the wool fully professional major test playing nations. And England.
I appreciate that suggestion cold be construed as patronising.
