0:02:45 > 0:02:49As you know, there is a lot of problems in the world today, you know?
0:02:49 > 0:02:55In everywhere, there is complex fighting, you know?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And just things happening.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The solution of all the problem is...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05..cricket.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20TRANSLATION:

0:06:05 > 0:06:09You can see the National Cricket Academy around us.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's four nets and some balls.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17They play cricket like war.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20They judge each other by how fast they can bowl the ball,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22and how hard they can hit it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Which means that they do pretty well against teams like Qatar.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I think when they come across some opposition
0:06:29 > 0:06:34with some decent spin bowlers, they're going to be stuffed!
0:06:55 > 0:06:56LAUGHS
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You know, I wish them the best of luck with it.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Very clean, you know?
0:18:03 > 0:18:08And...no noise, no music, loud music. Things are different.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15If you visit, in Afghanistan, a street like this, you will hear loud music.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20They don't like to wear full clothes, I think.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22They don't like, yeah?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25And very short skirts.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29In Afghanistan you saw this kind of girls? No.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What about the girls?

0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Japan.- Japan. - ..long-long for the day.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27TEAM APPLAUDS
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I don't know anything about cricket.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- It's the first time. - Because of that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:52I haven't seen any game in Japan, so I didn't know
0:21:52 > 0:21:55that...Japan has a team,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57until I came here.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01APPLAUSE

0:22:45 > 0:22:48They're taking the lead again. They're playing good.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22TEAM APPEALS FOR LBW
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Yes!
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Nobody should think that Afghanistan can beat Japan, because Japan is
0:24:02 > 0:24:06a really advanced country and they're spending lots on athletes
0:24:08 > 0:24:10but now are chances...
0:24:10 > 0:24:15When they come to our cricket team, to beat them for the first time.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So I think they were making history.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34Very good, eh? All old people.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I saw first time old people can dance, yeah?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47# Is this the way to Amarillo?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50# Every night I'm hugging my pillow
0:25:50 > 0:25:53# Dreaming dreams of Amarillo... #
0:26:01 > 0:26:03It's not tasty.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09And in Afghanistan we have a meat kebab,
0:26:09 > 0:26:15we have a very good pilau rice and different vegetables
0:26:15 > 0:26:17but here, this is...
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Well, it's good to be out in the nice, open, long evenings, Chopper?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Watching this type of cricket.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Wonderful. Wonderfully organised competition.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Um, I think we're probably supporting Afghanistan.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59We'll always support the underdog.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Singapore are on top.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Singapore are keeping it very tight.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I think Singapore have done very well.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Excellent, in fact.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50I think with a bit of luck Afghanistan will be out.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Ooh, look at that. - That's a big shot. That could be out!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56He's caught it. He's caught it. Well done.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Um, I think you could find them back in Afghanistan on Saturday, the way they're playing.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Oh, another one's gone down. - Another wicket down, yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12They're behind now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Jesus Christ.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I just think they're lacking some subtlety
0:28:20 > 0:28:23that they'd get from a first-class coach. And that's...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I think so.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30I'm not saying your coach is a bad coach but he's not had first-class experience, has he?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32So...
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- He done really well with us.- No...
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Hasti?- Yeah?- What happened?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Good country for enjoyment. Not for cricket.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35You have to show yourself as a symbol.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43People have expectation from you, especially the coach.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- What is your dog's name?- Edna May.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Edna May.- Yes. We got her from the shelter.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46This cricket makes me crazy, man.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Very bad game.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Please, yeah? I'm...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38It's more than cricket.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43This is our chance.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11# Pretty woman walking down the street
0:34:11 > 0:34:13# Pretty woman
0:34:13 > 0:34:15# The kind I'd like to meet
0:34:15 > 0:34:16# Pretty woman

0:34:20 > 0:34:22# You're not the truth
0:34:22 > 0:34:25# No-one could love as good as you

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- 'the sun beaming down on this glorious setting...'
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Afghanistan could give them a pretty close tussle.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18If I had to put money on it I think Jersey will win.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22They're the only unbeaten side as yet and they may well carry on that way.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29They look very wealthy and rich,
0:36:29 > 0:36:34and my team does not have that kind of things
0:36:34 > 0:36:35and facilities,
0:36:35 > 0:36:39but in spirit and...strength

0:39:00 > 0:39:03I would say that this is typical Afghans. They are careless.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07The crowd has told them they were careless,
0:39:07 > 0:39:10and yet again they are showing it,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13that they have no patience while they are batting.
