Afro-Asia Cup

I hope sehwag and afrdi both sticks together for about 15 overs tommorow.

I like the way super-sub steve tikolo played that made T.odoyo coming at no.11 having scored 2 50's in his career that the first time i have seen a no.11 batsman of that potential

 

[Indiangod]

Africa had depth in thier batting , they can afford to take riscks earlier on , and still have quality players left. I think inzmaman was giving the other lads a chance at the top order , thats why he came so low down the order.

 

[saurabh2185]

look at the difference between africa's no.11 and asia'a no.11 Think of the 1'st match needing 3 from 2 overs

 

[Indiangod]

They both got a strong and talented team , but asia has got more expirence in it.

Africa got all the players in the line-up who can bat. In Asian team, Nehra and Murli can't bat, but Z. Khan, Kumble and Shoaib Akhtar can bat pretty well. Today if Africa needed 3 from 2 overs or even 10 from 2 overs they still would have won that. Hope Asia win tomorrow. Sehwag and Afridi will have to bat till 10 overs. :happy can't wait for tomorrow's match.

The dream pair of Afridi and Sehwag didn't last long today.

Well tomorrow it will be a contest. Tomorrow will Greame Smith return into the squad (after a ban) and he is a difference maker.

And it was good to see the class of the Sri Lankans batsmen. :cool:

The dream pair got of to a flyer. Then Afridi got on a flyer out of the ground

I have just checked the weather of Durban, South Africa for the final ODI and it's most likely to rain tomorrow in Durban, South Africa. http://weather.cnn.com/weather/forecast.jsp?locCode=FADN

This competition is a pretty poor idea in my opinion. The African team is simply the South African team with a couple of additions. Would have been better could they of got Flower brothers to play this one off, or Strang.

But Streak played today. He bowled poorly, but batted pretty well.

I hope it dont rain , I think we are in for a thriller today.
