9. Fearlessness
The most striking feature of Afghanistan’s cricket is their fearlessness. Coach Andy Moles stated before the World Cup game against Australia that they are not scared of anyone, but have respect. The best anecdote that reflects that fearlessness is when Afghanistan played the ICC World T20 2010 in the West Indies. They were due to face South Africa, when their opening batsman, KarimSadiq, openly said that they would have no issues facing Dale Steyn. South African skipper, Graeme Smith, respected that and said, “I read their opener said he was not scared of facing Dale Steyn and I wouldn’t be either if I grew up in a war zone.”
