**Official** Afro-Asian Cup

Botha unlucky there, just had Yousuf caught behind but it was not given. Umpiring in this series including the 20/20 has been very poor from what I’ve seen.

Ganguly

Asia looking set to post 300 here.

Sibanda outbowling Botha here.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Perm]

Ouch, Dada falls for 88. Yousuf should get Asia through to 340 or so.

 

[Perm]

Morne Morkel finishes with some pretty good figures, 2/48 off 10.

338 is out of the Africans league one suspects but good bowling from Morne Morkel, under five runs an over on this surface is good going.

338 is chaseable, but I don't see them doing it with Asif bowling.

338 is chaseable, but I don't see them doing it with Asif bowling.

Indeed, Asif and Zaheer are going to be difficult for the first ten overs especially with Boeta and AB being Asif’s bunnies.

However, if Africa make a good start then Asia will have some problems for Asif and Zaheer with the old ball are terrible but 338 is a big total for this side.

Did the Africans go at a slow overrate? It seems like innings break should've been a little while ago.

 

[Prince EWS]

Sibanda cracks the classic off drive according to cricinfo. Told you he'd improved.

Tune in next post for Vusiwatch.

 

[Perm]

Asif gets de Villiers early, but is taking a pasting from his 2 overs so far.

 

[R_D]

lol at Jayawardene bowling.... shows how serious the players take this ... hahaha

 

[Turbinator]

Ganguly too good .

Asif getting smashed here.

 

[Perm]

Apparantly Zaheer Khan may have had a little bit of finger/hand trouble and has left the field after being unable to complete his 3rd over.

 

[Xuhaib]

Attack Asif and he just dosent look the same bowler, teams are starting to figure that out aswell.

 

[Perm]

Vusi Sibandi was looking pretty good before Asif snared him, while Kemp's woeful run continues. Africa have no chance now.

This is insane. The umpires called for drinks and they promptly came out on to the field - for one team. The Asians huddled around, replenishing their fluid supplies while the African batsmen were left unattended to. Dippenaar frantically waved his hands towards the dressing room and finally the 12th man emerges and sprints in with the drinks. I tell you...

Haha

Hopefully he does end up like Irfan Pathan.
