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?

Forgot to say, as it's a public vote, I'll be ignoring those who don't enter the predictions league fairly regularly...

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.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

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.

I think most of us would prefer if you didn't tbh.
