Africa XI vs Asia XI - Updates

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

chigumbura getting the treatment - 13 off his last over!! nice pick up in the pace by asia

 

[zMario]

oi , chup ho, i edited it before u said that

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

255/4 off 39 overs

moyo 56* (65)
Yuvraj 22* (19)

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

moyo picks up 2 more, drilled thru the offside - he should look to bat thru and let yuvi/dhoni and mortaza play the big shots

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

yuvi with a streaky 4 - goes for the pull, top edge over the keeper - they all count!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nice to see yuvi picking up the singles, rotating the strike, not just looking for the big shots

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

265/4 off 40 overs

should be looking at 350 minimum - possibly 375 if dhoni and co fire

 

[Gunner786]

hcome on yousuf
start dealing in sixes like you used to against zimbabwe

 

[Daoud]

Yeah, a huge score on the cards. And we all know how much Moyo loves Zimbo bowlers

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

moyo has to look for the singles, cant allow too many dot balls

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Yeah, a huge score on the cards. And we all know how much Moyo loves Zimbo bowlers

would be great to see dhoni fire today aswell!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

269/4 with 9 overs left!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

moyo needs 38 more for a century!! he deserves a 100

 

[MIB]

Yousuf, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

 

[zMario]

Yousufs gone

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

beautiful 4 from moyo thru backward point!! want to see more of that!!

 

[zMario]

MoYo out for 62, and I'll be back when Asia bowl, to see Asiff

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

yousuf gone, Great innings though from the legend

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

MoYo out for 62, and I'll be back when Asia bowl, to see Asiff

nice to see ur priorities

in the mean time - some dhoni time now

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

M yousuf goes as the highest scorer of the innings, so far

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

MoYo out for 62, and I'll be back when Asia bowl, to see Asiff

Moyo made 66 - give the man his praise

 

[zMario]

nice to see ur priorities

in the mean time - some dhoni time now

Hey, I could care less about 2 Indians batting together

I just hope they give Asif a good enough score to bowl at

 

[Gunner786]

i wonder how asif and jayawardene are getting on

 

[zMario]

outttt

 

[zMario]

Yuvraj Singh goes, hits the ball straight to cover, 276/6

 

[zMario]

i wonder how asif and jayawardene are getting on

Good question...

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

looks like a collapse - yuvi gone

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

harbhajan coming in above mortaza??????? why???!!

 

[Mr Mute]

harbhajan coming in above mortaza??????? why???!!

good question

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

277/6 off 43 overs

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Asia need some big shots!!

 

[Muyazzim Khan]

anyone know why Pollock hasn't bowled?

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

possible run out here

 

[Gunner786]

dhoni fails

all set for an exciting match

a full strength africa vs a full strength asia would murder the asians

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

dhoni run out!! didnt do too much, didnt really have a chance 2!

 

[zMario]

dhooom dhoom dhobis gone

 

[Waseem]

Dhoni OUT!!!

I have been waiting to see Asif bat

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

mortaza in now!! should be good

 

[Mr Mute]

only Mortaza our saviour now....

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

guys who is going to share the new ball with asif - zaheer or mortaza? i'd go with z khan

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

only Mortaza our saviour now....

we need to get over 300

 

[Mr Mute]

I remember in 2005 Shoib Aktar and Zaheer Khan bowled beautifully when Africa were chasing 100 odd runs.Aktar was man of the match and Zaheer man of the series.

Today it could be Asif and Khan

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

281/7 with 5 overs left!

 

[MIB]

would be great to see - they could work really well as a tandem

 

[Daoud]

Wont get much more than 310 unless we see a Mortaza special

 

[Mr Mute]

whom won that match?

Well unfortunately it was rained off and the series was drwn as well 1 all.

But Asia were in good position to win that match although we were defending just a total of 100 something.

Ball was really swinging that day

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

mortaza whips nicely off his pad there

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

287/7 off 46 overs!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

nice 6 by harbhajan!!!!

 

[Waseem]

Bhajji CHAKKA!!!! Asia will cross 300 for sure now.

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

4 more from harbhajan - good shot!! nice to see

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

300/7

with 3 overs left!! 325 maybe?? would be ok!

 

[Mr Mute]

300 up


Sorry I was all wrong about that 2005 match

309/8 with an over left

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

albie morkel to bowl the final over

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

4 from zaheer!!!!

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

mortaza gone off the last ball

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

asia end up on 317/9 off their 50 overs

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

looks a solid total - could have been 35/360 but moyo felt at a crucial stage, dhoni failed

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

Asia's bowling options

M Asif
Z Khan
M Mortaza
H Singh
S Jayasuriya
Ganguly/yuvi

Solid bowling attack there - nice mix of wicket takers with stifling bowlers

 

[zMario]

Yousuf's english is very good!

 

[zMario]

Yousuf: Cricket is a very funny game

 

[Mr Mute]

dont forget sehwag/jayasurya combination

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

dont forget sehwag/jayasurya combination

sehwag as well - yep! another useful part timer

 

[Daoud]

Sehwag is definetely a better bowler than Ganguly

 

[Daoud]

The game is 11 on 11 isnt it? I finally changed the title to reflect that

[alexjohn_tcr]

yousuf gone, Great innings though from the legend

lol Yusuf a legend??? come out of your make believe world mate

 

[dinakar]

does anyone think Jayawardane will sideline Asif (just kidding, nothing serious )

 

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

lol Yusuf a legend??? come out of your make believe world mate

so his achievements i.e. thos feats he made in test cricket which will take a long time to break dont see him as being considered a modern day legend
