Can someone who is watching the game (and has seen Asif bowl in last few games )tell me about what change of action is happening in Asif's action? In cricinfo Commentry he has bowled quite a few balls with some sorta chage of action so i am curious about that!

Whose idea is it to stage such pointless matches? The competition is essentially pitting 1/4th of the population of the world against South Africa.

You can't bring up 'population' numbers when comparing quality (Hint: Australia compared with other cricket playing nations)

Are these matches considered official one-day internationals in which runs scored and wickets taken are included in the player's records?
