All Star Game to take place between World XI vs Asia XI, it will be Azhar ud Din the captain of Asia XI and Mark Waugh will captain World XI, First game will be in SAn Fransico 3 August (I Think!) then second in New York on 5th August (n0t sure about dis either) and the final one in Toronto SkyDome on 8 August <— I know that one for sure
Lets see who wins! Anyone here know the lineup for Asia XI?
hmmmmm. . . I wonder when the roaster will be released. . .only around 1 is week left! Maybe they dont want release the roaster until the last minute, coz if its bad - no one will buy tickets for the game. . .
HERE IS THE TEAM
Of tense political reason pakistani player are doubtful for this 3 match series but they will try to do their best to include Shoaib, Malik (? me too) and Inzi.
ASIA XI
Azharuddin, Tendulkar, Jadeja, Kumble, Srinath, Dravid, Robin Singh, Mongia, Ganguli, Mohanti, Prassad, Arvinda De Silva and Ranatunga.
World XI
Lara, Adam, Walsh, Simmons, Jacob, Dillon, Chanderpaul, Steve Waugh, Warne, Allister Campbell, A.Flower, Neil Johnson, Olanga, Ravindu Shah, Macgrah, Mark Waugh, S. Flaming.
HMMMMMM I must say they are all mostly Indian players. . .thats wut u get when 90% of Pakistans key players are being screwed, but why didnt they put Saeed Anwar in the team? SHahid Afridi wud’ve been good too!!!
on a artificial turf, it should be no problem. game will be played on artificial turf.
on the other hand, jadeja is a better pick than arvinda. I have very high regard for arvinda and his career. but at this point of time jadeja is much better. if you want more representation for lanka, maybe jaywardhane, but not arvinda. that is sad, but fact.
Basically Asia XI is kind of cheap.. like.. it's just Pak and Ind and a little of SL. no Bang.

don't have any hope of a good game in this 'all stars cup'. there is not a single star. They have taken maninder singh who retired long back and busy umpiring.
You forgot Brian Lara, he is in the team too, Johnson from Zimbabwe will be a better middle order batsmen and he plays middle order too. Anyways all your teams are very good. . .ZZ , now I think Youhana would be a better pick then JAdega or ADe Silva. . .
No point sitting and thinking best possible team. The guys there have got two worst teams possible. Most probably good players are not available. Lara is probably only star.
