Indians are genetically handicapped, i expect Afghanis to produce good bowlers in coming years.

mark my words,a decade or 2 from now,Afghanistan team will be able to defeat any of the top 8 teams.

Atleast they will be on par with Unpredictable teams like Pakistan and West indies

Pakistan is pretty predictable now days. We badly need proper fast bowlers. By that i mean bowlers who can seam and swing. Amir is only good bowler i can think of and he is banned atm, but should come back soon.

Asif was another one who could make the ball talk but both sold out

sorry couldn't resist trolling

Our bowling attack is still not as bad as we think.

*We restricted India to 300 or almost equal to South africa(SA is considered to have the best bowling attack in this WC)
*Our bowling against WI was also not bad but we made a mistake by not playing with 5 bowlers aka the addition of yasir shah

Batting is the line we need to improve.if you remember even in 2011,we restricted India to 260,Australia to 180 and WI to 114 but even back than we lacked proper batting.

The only batsmen who can be considered as a good batsman is Misbah in our team.

I like new bowler actually, Sohail Khan. He can swing with new ball which is rare for Pak bowler nowdays. Batting now days is even more hopeless then before, and with Ajmal/Hafeez gone our bowling in odi look ordinary.

Plus we have to remember ICC prepare batting pitches for WC which suite teams like India. They are playing at home basically even in Australia. If you remember India was beaten pretty badly not long ago in similar pitches because then Australia and NZ boards made the pitches which suited their teams.

But for ICC tourney pitches are prepared by ICC themselves no matter where.

Congratulations Afghanistan.

Host decides not ICC

Host decides not ICC

For ICC tourney ICC/BCCI decides.

Not everywhere drop in pitches are used......and those pitches are picked by hosts not ICC. But if you believe so
