on sunday morning i couldn't catch the video action from the Old Trafford Test, but had plenty of options to watch the Afro-Asian.
i tuned in a little, seen Dhoni without a helmet and a bowler making some sadly bored launches... and i tuned off.
no comparison between that and the intensity of the Test match.

Nah, me neither. Couldn't really care less, because that seems to be the same as the attitude of most bar the TV companies.

I'd watch it if it was on tv.

Opinion from the viewers of Supersport, the main sports channel in South Africa and the carrier of the series.

Over 72% negative and thats from a country whos players are playing in it and from the website of the channel that have paid for the rights.

Wouldn't imagine many people would be surprised, TBH - I'm certainly not.

Was a waste of time itbt.

Haha, good spot. Not a bad song IMO.

Anyway I kept a bit of an eye on the Afro-Asia Cup, mainly to keep track of individual players as I couldn't care less about the result. I can see where all the dissatisfaction is coming from though.

Well someone must be interested, otherwise the TV companies wouldn't have purchased the rights... And the crowds are good too right?

Yeah, I agree with this post. The results were of no consequence, but it's a good opportunity for the likes of Sibanda to get noticed playing with stronger peers, and also the likes of Morkel to show his stuff and press for further selection, so I had a look at the scorecards. However, I do not see the real point of the series at all, especially given the strongest sides aren't selected anyway due to various reasons. Wouldn't care if they scrapped it, but I don't particularly care if they keep it either and I will check the results if it continues.

Echoing the statements of those who said they'd watch it on TV if it was on too - however I'd watch Masvingo under 9s take on Matabeland under 9s if it was on really so it's a moot point.

That was a Craigos-worthy comment, that, it really was.

They've done worse.

Leaving it at that.

I think the main point of the series was to showcase a few individuals and to raise money for the ACC and AFC and spreading the game in their respective continents. It was never intended to be a series such as between two countries.
