Chappell: Terrific to see Afghanistan win against WI

The spirit
Usman Ghani tickled Andre Russell down the leg side, only to see Denesh Ramdin pull off an acrobatic catch. It must have left the 19-year old Ghani, playing his first World T20 game, heartbroken. He began a long, and slow, walk back but the umpires asked him to wait because Ramdin had signalled he wasn’t sure if he had full control over the ball. And replays went on to establish that. As if to reward the West Indian wicketkeeper’s spirit, Ghani got himself out in the very next over.The tag team
Mohammad Nabi produced a stinging cover drive in the 17th over and the man in the firing line was West Indies captain Darren Sammy. The shot had so much power that all Sammy could do was pop it up but luckily for him the ball deflected towards mid-off where Marlon Samuels completed a relay catch. Tag-team efforts like that are usually seen in the slips or on the boundary, but hardly ever between cover and mid-off.The dare
What was Samiullah Shenwari thinking when he tried to guide Sulieman Benn past Sammy at slip? Among the tallest men with the largest reach on the field, Sammy dived full length to his right to complete a fine catch and Shenwari, a usually savvy middle-order batsman, was left to rue a simple mistake.The nonchalance
Rashid Khan is the second-youngest man ever to play the World T20 but the way he took Evin Lewis’ revealed composure beyond his 17 years. Lewis skied Amir Hamza in the third over and the ball hung in the air for a long while. Afghanistan needed an early wicket – they were only defending 123 runs – and Rashid absorbed all the pressure as he ran back a few yards and took it calmly over his head.The jig is on the other footWhen Amir Hamza removed Evin Lewis, he celebrated like Chris Gayle, but was not the focus of the TV cameras. However, when Denesh Ramdin was stumped, the wicketkeeper and the showman Mohammad Shahzad, and the bowler Rashid Khan tried out the Dwayne Bravo “champion” dancing jig. Much of it though was in the arms with very little hip movement.Shahzad repeated the dance, this time a solo effort, when his direct hit ran out Andre Russell. Gulbadin Naib joined in when he removed Darren Sammy in the penultimate over. And when Afghanistan completed the win, the whole team did the jig together. Then, to make it sweeter, Shahzad did the jig with Chris Gayle, who also posed for a photo with the Afghanistan team.The headgear exchangeWest Indies stuttering at 37 for 3 in the seventh over meant that Afghanistan had an option to attack. Asghar Stanikzai positioned himself at silly point for Bravo’s first ball. But not wanting to ask for a helmet from the dressing-room, the Afghanistan captain gave Shahzad his cap and took Shahzad’s helmet. West Indies took a single, Stanikzai went back to slip, gave back the helmet, and took back his cap.The winning handNajibullah Zadran would have been a distant memory even if Afghanistan had won without his final hand. But it would be his catch, running about 20 yards to his left from deep midwicket, to get rid of danger man Carlos Brathwaite that really won them the game. Najibullah got injured taking the catch, which prevented him from picking up the Man-of-the-Match award himself, but it was all worth it.
