Afro-Asian series
Quick straw poll.
The Afro-Asian (aka pointless games being given ODI status when they shouldn't have it) series - predict for it or not?

Don't want to, but I think we should do everything with proper status, despite whether it's rightly so or not. So I voted yes but it wouldn't bother me too much if it wasn't done.

The Afro-Asian series is a fair old waste of time that shouldn't have ODI status, but the same could be said of the matches involving asocciate ICC members and we predicted them so on a consistency basis I'd say yes (but i would not exactly be heartbroken if the vote was no)

If you're going to include minnows, you have to include this one.

I don't wanna come over all Bill Frindall (apologies for the mental image that paints, btw), but there's no way these things should have ODI status. International cricket should be played between cricketing nations, not collections thereof.
That said I'll probably predict if we do go with them.
