Where was this England all this while in the ICC World T20? Their defeat to West Indies was hard-fought, and their stunning victory over South Africa a surprise. England aren't supposed to this good in a world cricketing event.

Last year, they were derailed by Bangladesh but in previous World T20 editions, they have twice lost to the Netherlands. Afghanistan had already given South Africa a mighty scare, but against England they believed. Associate members have quite often been England's bogey teams (Ireland, 2011), which gives more credence to their dubious record.

What looked like a routine bat-first performance soon went pear-shaped after the first five overs. Mohammad Nabi's sixth over could have given the England cricket chiefs a heart attack as they spectacularly imploded.

James Vince, playing in place of the injured Alex Hales, spooned a catch back to Nabi, the off-spinner visibly surprised to pocket such an easy opportunity. Captain Eoin Morgan shouldered arms first ball and was bowled in a moment of brain fade Pakistan's batsmen experienced last night against New Zealand.

Ben Stokes survived the hat-trick ball, but the next ball there was more of the stupid stuff on show, as England's best batsman - Joe Root - was found short of his crease after a mix-up with the new batsman.

Three wickets in four balls were only the start of England's troubles as they lost six wickets for 44 runs before Moeen Ali and David Willey revived them to what would be a competitive total.

The result, just like in the game against South Africa, will not matter for Afghanistan. They have kept the flag flying high for Associate nations in international cricket, but there was only one team which could outdo Pakistan in terms of shooting themselves in the foot, and England didn't disappoint, until Moeen Ali pulled them out of trouble.

All said, however, another glorious image from the past was recreated in the form of Rameez Raja interviewing Afghanistan coach Inzamam-ul-Haq. Nothing seems to have changed.
