**Official** World XI v Asia XI

[lord_of_darkness]

WOHOO!! im in melbourne to watch it.. im gettin onto buying me a ticket and a NZ Flag..

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Has anyone heard anything concerning it being on SKY NZ?

And Highlights of course?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

^ lmao Sky.. im pretty sure it will be on Sky though mayn..

 

[nikhil1772]

Anyone knows which channel is broadcasting the match in India?

But hey,why am I worrying,the world might turn upside down but the Indian TV channels will not deprive the Indians of a cricket match

 

[Craig]

they didn't, that huge ton bevan got(186* i think it was) isn't on his ODI or list A record

That was my whole point

 

[Deja moo]

Tendulkar might be included in the team to pull in the viewers. But he has indicated that he wont bat, but only bowl and field.

I really hope Steve Waugh plays too. IMO they should have pulled in more legends of the game like Wasim Akram, Ambrose etc. Who wouldnt want to watch Wasim bowling to Waugh one last time ?

 

[lord_of_darkness]

^ me.. but who would be willing to step down..

 

[nikhil1772]

^ Everybody should step down if they have to,to watch Akram vs Waugh or Ambrose vs Tendulkar

They could do another fund-raiser series involving recently retired players such as the Waughs, Kirsten, A. Flower, Hussain, Donald, Ambrose, Akram, Younis & others.

Now that would be pure entertainment - I'd love to watch that too.

Not sure who you'd get out of NZ to play that game, though. I think Hadlee's a bit past his time... Martin Crowe?

Parore?

But he's not in the same class as the rest...

Hasn't he been batting 3 for SL recently with Jayantha in the team?

Maybe, but he opens in Tests and for most of his OD career. Seems like they're trying to find a position that works for Jayantha and can't realise he's a minnow-basher.

Anyone know if this match is going to be broadcast on TV in the UK? I'm guessing Sky or Setanta might show it.

If it is on, I would hope that any PPV-style charge is donated directly and wholy to the fund.

There are two matches slated, both being Asia vs ROW. It would have been a better idea to have one Legends match havin the greats of the last 15-20 years.

Neverthless awesome to have the two matches to help the victims.

 

[PAKMAN]

but legends woudnt b able to give the current greats a hard time ,although it wudv bin great fun
so il stick to this one for a close encounter
adam gilchrist could truly make the difference
has sangakara played down the order much?

 

[Loony BoB]

Imagine if both Gilchrist and Cairns had an awesome day with the bat... has the potential to be one of the greatest games in history if that would happen! I'd love to see them batting together for a decent length of time. That would be a true dream.

They'd lose at least 6 balls...

 

[Tim]

I can tell you now that Gilchrist will definately be one of the openers.
12th man will be Bravo, Vettori or Hayden.

Twose, Nash?

Probably, if they both weren't prematurely retired.
