Afghanistan shot out for 144 against PNG. Top score of 29. Four wickets taken by Norman Vanua, who Cricinfo describes as "right-arm medium".
Maybe Afghanistan aren't quite ready for Tests just yet.

That's a big difference between Afghanistan's first and second innings, wow.

Brilliant hundred from Mohammad Shahzad to hold Afghanistan's innings together. Currently lead by 99 with 3 wickets left, they haven't shut out Namibia yet!

While it would be great to see the little-thought-of Namibia winning, you have to support Afghanistan here. Simply because they have a chance of becoming a Test team this half-century, and Namibia do not.

Not even sure that's likely with the way the ICC are... I still long for the first ever England v Ireland test!

Afghanistan finish the job easily, winning by innings and 36 runs. Good hundred by Shahzad and another 17 year old, Zahir Khan bowling well.

Good. While I long for a day when Ireland will get to play some more first-class stuff, this is a step in the right direction. Hope it doesn't rain.

Nepal win their first WCL Championship match against Namibia by 5 wickets.
With 10,000 people watching the match at the ground, match being shown on Nepal TV and match streamed on Youtube the ICC need to help them reach their huge potential.

The latest ICC meeting has been held (http://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2016/media-releases/94751/outcomes-from-icc-board-and-committee-meetings) and there's a few noteworthy decisions for some associates.
Ireland and Afghanistan:
"In line with the ICC’s Game and Market Development Strategy, the Board approved a short-term ODI fund of $500K each for Afghanistan Cricket Board and Cricket Ireland. The fund is being provided to the two countries to allow them the opportunity to schedule more bilateral series, which, in turn, will support their bid to improve their team rankings and claims to secure direct qualification for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019."
Suspension of Nepal's board:
"In light of the ongoing court case involving the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and the Ad hoc Committee established by the Nepalese National Sports Council (NSC), which has led to a vacuum of cricket leadership in Nepal, the Board suspended the Membership of CAN for breach of Article 2.9 of the ICC’s Articles of Association, which prohibits government interference and requires free and fair elections.
The suspension means that CAN will not be entitled to receive any ICC funding. However, the Board, in its absolute discretion and considering that the players should not suffer due to this suspension, decided that the Nepal cricket teams would be able to continue to feature in ICC events.
ICC management will also now work with the Nepalese cricket community, and other stakeholders, in order to assist with the development of a sustainable governance and administration structure for cricket in Nepal."
I hadn't realised what was going on with Nepal, a shame for them.
