to get here has demanded dedication, inspiration, qualification. they�*ve now earned games against some of the world�*s highest ranked nations, and that includes afghanistan. for afghanistan�*s men�*s team, at least, cricket has meant global connection and rapid rise. the future is seriously uncertain. in sharjah, their batters enjoyed themselves, but there�*s mark watt to spoil the fun. zazai gone. scotland are never down for long. neither, however, was the ball. 11 sixes in afghanistan�*s 190. scotland, follow that! sadly, they couldn�*t. tough enough facing afghanistan�*s spin bowlers but then the wicket—keeper holds a catch like this! the match became afghanistan�*s occasion. 60 all—out. ouch! well, that is world cup cricket. joe wilson, bbc news.
